Unveiling the details about a DLC of Heavy Rain

4News.it: "The DLC will be distributed weekly and allow you to complete the game experience as the main story situations were happening at a time not accurate in the game, while others will instead be able to discover new characters.

In particular there will be impersonating a blind man who, as such, will have only hearing in order to move. In fact for this scene our video will be completely dark and the surround sound will be the unique instrument of gameplay.

David Cage has declared: We have a download content for Heavy Rain coming where the player plays a blind man, so the screen is all black and they have to use their surround sound to play the episode. It is the first surround sound gameplay experience. (Something similar had already been seen in Fahrenheit's note.) "

What about people with stereo setting?
Even so, hearing of blind people is better developed than normal, it'll be hard probably. Appears to be fun though.

You should still be able to tell the general direction of where you need to go with stereo but will take longer.

kalebgray925239d ago

only wished they told me this around black friday.... fml

Dellis5239d ago

DLC?, let the game come out first damn David Cage is money hungry

when this flops at retail( come on something like this is not for the

mass market ).

Aquarius5239d ago

WTF?

4 episodes a month?!
I would rather it monthly. Being 1 week apart says something about the content's length.
1 month outweighs a week.
Now that will be true QTE.

Flop.....qte....Flop.....qte. ....Flop.......qte.

talltony5239d ago

Lol can't be QTE if you are playing as a blind man, can't see what buttons to press hahaha.

blackmamba7075239d ago

some BLIND xbot sounds butthurt, unexpected

ballsofsteel5239d ago

while i hate there is already DLC being made for post launch i can't really blame these guys. While i think heavy rain is going to be a phenomenal game sales wise i don't think it's going to do well at all so i'm guessing cage and Quantic dreams have already planned for this and hope they can get even more money from DLC.

either way this blind sounds awsome i'm very much looking forward to testing my new 5.1 sound system

omni_atlas5239d ago (Edited 5239d ago )

From what I've heard the DLC is going to be free for America if you pre-order and for Europeans if you get the special edition (which is the same price as the regular edition).

Publishers are usually going the DLC route now so people don't resell (e.g. Burnout Paradise).

Looking forward to this -- David and his team have really come up with innovative ways to entertain.

thesummerofgeorge5239d ago

They're putting so much into this game, it's truly exciting. I love developers that have this sort of integrity, and when they make a game it's about making something they're personally passionate about. I think the DLC will be well made, I wouldn't expect anything less from QD.

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.

BLAKHOODe1280d 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.

sourOG1280d ago

No. Some games are like movies.

medman1279d ago (Edited 1279d 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.

bouzebbal1437d ago

def. one of my top 3 best experiences on PS3

ClayRules20121437d ago

bouzebbal

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

akaFullMetal1437d ago

Great game, need to get started on Detroit soon.

ClayRules20121437d ago

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

ClayRules20121437d 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.

Z5011437d ago

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

C-H-E-F1436d 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.
