Heavy Rain: Defining A Genre

It has been said that Heavy Rain may only cater to a niche market and while that may be true, however, for those willing to find the Origami Killer, they may find themselves graduating into the next generation of gaming.

Everybody is accepting that Heavy Rain, like ME2, is AAA. Get used to it.

kenpachi5217d ago

i forgot you 360 fangirls like games with zero story

Bungie5217d ago

we all know PS3 fanboys don't buy games, just blu-ray movies with no gameplay

Bungie

I probably have more PSN only games than you have on all your systems put together, let alone retail games. Matter of fact I probably have more unplayed retail games than you have in your entire collection. Heck I probably have more xbox 360 games than you have.

I doubt you EVER play games as you are pretty much first in every ps3 comment. Get out of your mom's basement, get a girl, a job and eventually maybe you will save enough pennies to buy a Ps3 and become a real gamer.

kenpachi5217d ago

butt hurt cause you don't have a blu ray player go watch Twilight on Netflix

Dutch Boogie5217d ago

AAA day 1 buy. Guess how many GOTY awards this one will get? Best original story among others.

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.

BLAKHOODe1284d 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.

No. Some games are like movies.

medman1284d ago (Edited 1284d 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.

bouzebbal1441d ago

def. one of my top 3 best experiences on PS3

ClayRules20121441d ago

bouzebbal

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

akaFullMetal1441d ago

Great game, need to get started on Detroit soon.

ClayRules20121441d ago

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

ClayRules20121441d 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.

Z5011441d ago

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

C-H-E-F1441d 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.
