Would anyone else like to see a Norman Jayden spin off?

I was thinking it would be cool to give the character of Norman Jayden his own spin off game or add on that could act as maybe a prequel to his exploits in Heavy Rain. Maybe the story could go into further detail about his drug addiction( i.e how it all started) Like maybe he was undercover in a drug ring and had to start taking tripto to keep up his cover or something, whilst trying to bring down a psychotic mafia type figure, or better yet the Doctor that Maddison encountered. I mean this all just a thought I've been rolling around in my head. It doesn't have to happen & I'm not saying it should. It's just that Jayden was one of my two favorite characters in the game and it would be cool to use the A.R.I. device again.

I just want to know how he got that scratch/scar on his face, after playing the game through 5 times it's bugging me to no end, wondering how he got it.

I read somewhere that one of the never-made DLCs meant to follow The Taxidermist was intended to be a prequel for Jayden and explain where/how he got that scar. Alas.

Although, my personal theory is that they added it to make him easy to tell apart from pre-meltdown Ethan. They have very similar characteristics during the load screens.

Yeah, that sucks, Jayden was one of my favorite characters in the game. I was kinda disappointed there wasn't an ending with Norman and Blake, at least with Norman alive, Blake deserved to get something.

IDK if you like fanfiction at all but this author http://www.fanfiction.net/u/2549683/lankypanky has, IMO, some pretty awesome HR Jayden centric fics.

Also, just a general warning for anyone new to fanfiction. Authors often 'Slash' or pair characters. For gods alone know what reason, one of the more popular slash pairings is Jayden/Blake, AKA Blayden. So, if you see any synopsis that states Blayden, or PWP (porn without plot) you've been warned...

Isn't PWP synonymous with ALL Fan Fiction? You should read Heavy Lovin', that may be the funniest thing I've read all year.

good theory. I wish they'd done something similar with Mrs Mars and Madison though. when first playing as Madison in her flat I thought she was Mrs Mars and the insomnia was connected to her sons death (admittedly I didn't explore the thought options from L2 as I forgot about those) and when she checked in at the hotel I assumed she was giving the creepy receptionist a fake name and was about to remark how unlikely it was that she'd end up at the same place as her ex husband when I realised she didn't know him and was in fact a completely different character

That is such an awesome idea! I want a whole game. But it has to be just as high-quality in all areas as Heavy Rain. What an amazing game. And my first playthrough finds the film ending triumphantly for our Norman. So much to appreciate with this character...attention to detail...profiler...investigator...ARI (yay gadgets!)...nerds unite.
