Yeah I honestly can't wait for this game. Farenheit is one of the best games I've ever played, and a very memorable experience. Can't wait to play Heavy Rain.

1.3 - Not all,
but I will own it. Won't be everybody's cup of tea, but I know Quantic will put their full effort into it. I like the fact that when 1 of the 4 characters dies, it just alters the storyline insted of ending the game. Additionally, if you make a mistake during the QTE it adjusts on the fly & changes the possibilities of the scene.

Worst thing about this gen...new fanboy gamers. Guy above is a prime example. Just because he is too DUMB to understand the gameplay it automatically sucks.

@gaffyh: FYI, I have a PS3, a PS2, a Gamecube, a PSP, an Xbox, a 360 and a Wii, so no, I'm not a 360 fanboy. What I meant was that the game looks more like a movie then a game. There's no real gameplay from what I've seen in all the videos. It's all just QTEs.

QTEs aren't considered gameplay because of how annoying they are. Ask anyone whose played RE4. That knife fight near the end of the game was ridiculous, it should've been a normal cut-scene.

EDIT: Actually, how exactly does my comment make me a 360 fanboy? I mean, I said that the game was a movie...what does a movie got to do with a games console from Microsoft? Care to explain?

Why didn't you just post your more intelligent concern with QTEs in the first place instead of making a sideways comment about the game? I'll never understand why people try to make clever criticisms then get defensive when they have to explain their one sentence comment.

And ftr, I agree. I think a lot of gamers could be put off by the game because it essentially is full QTE game like its predecessor Fahrenheit. Luckily it has impressive visuals, which I think will attract people who don't know better and hopefully after the rude awakening, people will still take the time to experience a truly dynamic story. I know I will.
