Heavy Rain Developer Will Remain a Long Term Sony Partner

March 22, 2013 by Stephen Daly

Quantic Dream has no interest in ending their exclusivity deal with Sony.

Speaking to the Official PlayStation Magazine Qunatic Dreams' Guillaume de Fondaumiere has said the studio will continue to make games exclusively for Sony's platforms for the foreseeable future. 

"As long as we can create the games we want to create. we'll stay with Sony," de Fondaumiere said. 

"We proved with Heavy Rain that we can be profitable by making a game for just one platform. Would we have made more money by going multi-platform? Of course, but on the other hand we wouldn't be working Sony as a publisher," he noted.

"This isn't a partnership where we are forced by a big company into giving immediate results. That's fantastic for a studio like us. Ever since we started our partnership, Sony just said it was going to give us the money to build these games and we said we were going to work as hard as we could and reward it for its trust. 

"We're certainly not going to change partner for the sake of making more money; that's not the philosophy behind our studio. As long as we can create the game we want to make we'll stay with Sony."

de Fondaumiere went on to say "there was the one thing about our partnership with Sony. After the success of Heavy Rain we sort of knew they were going to ask us to make a Heavy Rain 2 and we said please understand we're not going to do that. We said we still believe we can do much more with something else, and they accepted our idea." 

In separate interviews de Fondaumiere revealed that Quantic Dream "categorically refused" to allow Jodie, the protagonist of their upcoming title, Beyond: Two Souls, to be armed on the game's cover. Beyond also recieved an eight minute trailer of gameplay footage yesterday.

Meanwhile de Fondaumiere has confirmed that the studio is developing a game for PlayStation 4. 

Beyond: Two Souls is due for release on October 8th exclusively on PS3.
