Heavy Rain director David Cage has said that his upcoming PS3-exclusive would not be able to run on Microsoft's console
When asked if Heavy Rain would be possible on the Xbox 360 Cage told us he "didn't think so," as the game takes specific advantage of the PS3's hardware capabilities.
"I think this game can only be done on Playstation 3," he said. "We used all the SPUs.
“I think this game can only be done on Playstation 3”
"I think to do the visuals, and all the stuff we’re doing would be too difficult [on the 360]. There are amazing physics there, and stuff with crowds that you just couldn’t really get."
Heavy Rain is scheduled to hit PS3 later in the year. Check back soon for our latest interview with David Cage. For more info on the game follow the link for the exhaustive Heavy Rain interview we conducted with Cage earlier in the year.
