Satisfied with how upcoming thriller Heavy Rain looks? Don't be. Not one to be complacent, developer Quantum Dream says the eagerly awaited game still needs lots of work.

"We're still at the alpha stage and there's a whole lot of work to be done," said Quantic Dream's David Cage. "There's so much fine-tuning in the game left to do. Everything has to be perfect. If there's one thing wrong in a scene, it's the only thing you'll see. There are many things that don't work right now. We need to have everything in place, from facial animations, to score to work out the final result."

This is exactly the kind of stuff you want to be hearing from Quantum Dream. PS3 exclusive Heavy Rain: The Origami Killer has a release window of early 2010.

I just hope it gets done, in every sense of the phrase.

That sucks =/ But at least they're not rushing it so that when it does come out, it'll be the best possible quality.

Delay-o-tron strikes agian!

Well, delay to Q2 2010 it is. It is really hard to kill origami I guess.

The game was never confirmed for 2009...

No but then it was assumed to be a holiday 2009 release by most fanboys that liked to list PS3 exclusives for 2009.

So what does it matter that it wasn't "confirmed".

It doesn't matter because the PS3's lineup is so much better the the 360's that this game could come out in 2025 and we'd still be chillin' capice?

Alot?

The 2009 holiday lineup is shrinking... And such a game released in spring will probably not reach some of our sales expectations, not mine at least (1.5-2M)...
