Heavy Rain Uses All of the Cell’s SPUs
In a recent interview NowGamer spoke candidly with Qauntic Dream’s David Cage about their upcoming PS3 exclusive, Heavy Rain. When he was asked about Heavy Rain being possible on the Xbox 360, he had some interesting replies…
I think this game can only be done on Playstation 3, We used all the SPUs.
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.
No release date has been announced for Heavy Rain, but it is due out this year and is one of the games we are most excited for. Expect more information to come ‘pouring’ starting May 22, when the pre-E3 event embargo lifts.

I love hearing this too. Flower was impressive, but Heavy Rain is proof that the PS3 is vastly superior without the need to be artsy or quirky.

This is one of my top game-picks for the year. Can’t wait to see more of it.

the best part of this game is if you fail a mission the game just says, ok you screwed up but lets see what happens because you did…..which i always think about in other games when I get that game over screen

Like the way this game is shaping up but I’m wary,
This game could be beautiful but if the gameplay sucks than wahat are we to do.
