The Heavy Rain demo that hit this week contained two scenes: one for Detective Shelby and the other for FBI Agent Norman Jayden. It's been discovered that the demo contains even more–a secret surprise.
"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.
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. 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.
What exactly is the David Cage experience, and is it of value? We examine two classics, Fahrenheit and Heavy Rain, to find the answer.
Quantic Dream has announced a new video series to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of Heavy Rain. Check out the first part here.
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.
Glad you enjoyed the game! Yes, Detroit is a masterpiece of a game, and their best work to date “in my opinion”
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.
Still have my origami crane they teach you how to make when you're installing for the first time.
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.
hmm cool find. Can't wait to see what other surprises the full version has in store for me.
I thought this would be about an extra hidden scene/chapter in the demo...
That was a waste of 15 seconds. I mean that's a fine nugget but I was expecting something much better than that.
except for the use of R2 to walk. I am so used to just using the left stick for movement that using the R2 threw me off a bit. I think the interaction in the game is impressive. I lost track of the fight between the detective and the thug because I was to busy watching for the input commands. On the next go round I watched more of the fight but messed up on most of the commands.
Damn...I need to build up my eye hand coordination. Playing this game is like watching a movie with subtitles. You can either enjoy the movie and skip the reading or you can read what they are saying and skip the movie.
It goes both ways.
@fishy: thanks for that. I didnt even make any adjustments in the options. I think this game is sweet to play. I especially liked how the action changed so subtly if you missed a command the first time and then hit it the second. Completely diverse in the dynamics of this game.
Dialog was funny at times. I liked asking the cop about his coffee.
Dont get the disagrees. I am not saying anything bad about this demo.
FASCINATING!
