Heavy Rain is a better example, because it still had some form of gameplay. I'm not quite sure which was higher in their priority list in production, but when it comes to a vast majority of the industry, I have to agree that gameplay is a bit more important to think about before a story. If I were making a game, I'd want something people could have fun in, with perhaps good replayability. Story IS important nowadays, but I don't think story alone would be a good selling point. You're better off as an author if that's more your style, you know?
