'Alan...Walks'...off a Cliff after seeing this Stunning Game ONLY ON PS3!!! ;-D

Poor xBox 360 is going to be F**KED next year!!! ;-D

InMyOpinion5671d ago

Funny how you feel the need to mention a 360 exclusive in a thread that is all about Heavy Rain. A bit insecure, are we?

No Jenzo, we aren't. So shut it.

Heavy Rain, Xbox 360 and ps3, remember?

Theo Paphitis5672d ago

This game is more than fantastic. It's the killer-app for the PS3. Sony have again chosen the right people to showcase the POWER of the PLAYSTATION3™. And the guy who wrote for it is called David Cage, again, such an awesome name.

- In this demo, the player takes the role of a young journalist who is investigating on several girls' disappearances, she goes to a house of a former taxi driver who is suspected of killing these women. In this presentation, the Producer of the game shows 2 different ways to finish this demo, there are lots of different ways to get through the story.

- Multiple view camera system, not always behind the girl.

- The demo is fully playable, no cut-scenes, the player can control the girl at any time.

- The Sixaxis motion sensor is used in the game to make different moves (open a window, raise or hit on an object, etc.).

- It is possible to hear what is happening in the mind of the character, so the player knows the different choices that are available.

- No loadings in the game!

- Backgrounds are fully interactive (all objects can be used, all doors can be opened, etc.).

- Very interesting Split Screen System to keep an eye on the murderer, control the character at the same time.

- The player has to maintain several buttons to stay hidden, uncomfortable situation for the player to reproduce the same stress in the game.

- Quick time events for some action scenes.

Really interesting use of the SixAxis motion controls...

^-^ So far looks interesting. I loved Quantic Dreams "Fahrenheit"/"I ndigo Prophecy", so I'm pretty sure I'm going to like this game as well... (Just as long as they don't add "Matrix"-like elements to the game.)

chasuk085672d ago

I hope at some point we will all be able to play this demo

Dark_Vendetta5671d ago

I think almost everything was great about Fahrenheit beside the stupid ending. Who the hell did write the last part? I don't want to spoil anything but the clarification why all this happened at the end is just sh*t. The Demo of Heavy Rain is really breathtaking

TruthBTold5671d ago

The in game visuals are the best I have seen in any game but that can only go so far. Once I saw how the gameplay is then I was really interested in everything this game seems to offer. The part where you are trying to escape without the killer noticing you in the house was a great touch. I also love games where you can interact with your environment. This game gets more impressive everytime I see it. It has a lot of potential. 09 is going to be an even better year for gamers.

Please stop comparing video games to movies

"Many video games catch not only great commercial attention but remarkable critical attention as well. We have seen games like Heavy Rain, The Last of Us Part II, and even entries in the Metal Gear series described as fantastic interactive experiences, even heralded in the same way as Hollywood's greatest films.

I would suggest that not only is this an unfair comparison but also a harmful one. Video games, by their very nature, are an intricately different medium and should be weighed against one another rather than another form of media," Phillip writes for GF365.

Yes, please stop. They're better than most hollywood drivel nowadays.

BLAKHOODe1275d ago

I think Hollywood films will becoming increasingly more like video games in the future, especially as the world embraces the "new normal" from the pandemic. It makes sense, as games like Spider-Man: Miles Morales showcase just how realistically we're reaching in graphical capabilities, as well as showcase extreme action sequences in spectacular ways. And as time goes by, it'll get easier and cheaper to produce such "art", as well as create new star "actors" that never age, never die, never complain, never gets involved in scandals, etc. Technology is amazing and we're only just getting a taste of what it'll eventually be.

sourOG1275d ago

No. Some games are like movies.

medman1274d ago (Edited 1274d ago )

No. For the money spent, a quality game provides far more entertainment value than a quality movie. Especially when looking at what is going on in the world, and how a studio can attempt to pilfer from consumers by charging 30 dollars for Mulan via streaming. Ridiculous. There is no comparison....games all day.

Have you played Detroit? While it’s my personal favorite, I fully understand many preferring Heavy Rain more. I’m glad you enjoyed Heavy Rain too.

bouzebbal1432d ago

def. one of my top 3 best experiences on PS3

ClayRules20121432d ago

bouzebbal

That’s awesome to hear! What’re the other 2 best experiences?

akaFullMetal1432d ago

Great game, need to get started on Detroit soon.

ClayRules20121432d ago

Glad you enjoyed the game! Yes, Detroit is a masterpiece of a game, and their best work to date “in my opinion”

ClayRules20121432d ago

Wow, 10 years...and yet, still one of the best/most emotional/thrilling gaming experiences I’ve ever had.

So grateful to Sony for believing in Quantic Dream’s vision for this game, and giving them a chance. I’ll never forget David Cage saying “We want to challenge the player, but not with the controller, but mentally, with their decisions of “How far would you go to save someone you love” Well, they broke my emotional gamer heart lol.

My teenage son refuses to play this game, because I’ve told him in little detail the emotional impact it had on me all those years ago. Maybe one day he will.

Z5011432d ago

Still have my origami crane they teach you how to make when you're installing for the first time.

C-H-E-F1432d ago

it's been 10 years? wow, that was so fast, I feel like this console gen went fast as well although it hasn't. I really look forward to the PS5 this holiday season though.
