Oh man ! Wheres the shaving option????

Chubear5463d ago

I only see Sony pushing boundaries to bring more high quality and varied gaming experiences. No other console pushes gaming to the extent Sony does with their PS3 and that's why I unashamedly support mainly exclusive 1st & 2nd party games.

Support developers who try to bring new high quality gaming experiences instead of rehashed same ol same ol that pushes nothing at all just for a quick easy buck.

Support developers who try to go out on a limb for gamers instead of those that play safe all the time and churn out run of the mill games with marketing hype.

SaberEdge5463d ago

Looks great, I'm really looking forward to this game.

Chubear, I don't know why you had to make your comment into something fanboyish. Heavy Rain looks fresh and PS3 owners should be excited, but don't act like there aren't innovative games on the 360. Alan Wake looks just as good and has me just as excited. We need more good storytelling in games in my opinion, and I am just happy that we are getting more of it on all sides.

sniper-squeak5463d ago

This is how detailed the next GTA should be... only on Playstation 3.

Imagine: "GTA V: Agent" :D - that would kill all announcements

TheExecutive5463d ago

wow, that was impressive. The animation, the colors it just looked fantastic.

BISHOP-BRASIL5462d ago

It's just me or this one looked a lot better than last videos? I was disapointed at animations for this tittle when first gameplay videos come, considering the pre-render and the fact that this is an Adventure, where most of the action will be pre-scripted instead of physic based...

But now this one looks really cool. And it's almost as good as I had expected, specially for face animation. Eigher the other videos/parts don't make the quality of the animation aparent, or those guys are really pushing improvement of this game.

Now, considering the time they have 'till release, my hopes have gone up again.

Edit: Uncanny Valley my @ss, I want to do that chick! LOL

is it wrong to be slightly aroused watching that video?

YoMeViet5463d ago

Unless you're gay, tis A-O-K

Gambit075462d ago

She aroused me the 1st time I laid my eyes on her a while back.

BlackPrince 425463d ago

I thought this was supposed to be marketed as a game for adults, not an adult video game. What are they doing appealing to the horny teenager demographic, something this clip is clearly designed to do.

It's fine to include scenes like this in the context of a story, but out of context it just seems like QD is going the Bioware route in playing up the sex aspect for publicity.

It's a shame because I have high hopes for this game.

Lfmesquite5463d ago (Edited 5463d ago )

This game is just trying to be real. It has everything, it's not just a typical video game. It's all about the story and how you control it.

That girl is obviously tying to be undercover to get information.

Lets say you don't do this part right and you don't look as good, you probably don't get as far as you need to. But the game still continues a little differently.

Hellsvacancy5463d ago

"How far will u go 2 save sum1 u love" (obviously the grammar differs lol)

PAPERCHASER03965463d ago

Hopefully mother will take the time to read the darn box.... so please don't make stupid comments on video

Cupid_Viper_35463d ago

Dude out of all the things we've seen and heard about Heavy Rain, and you choose this 1 scene to make some bullsh1t assumption of what the game is about?

we've seen so many aspects, like the girl in the interview, so bitter, considering murder/suicice, We've seen that other guy with his "addiction" problem, we've read about this very same girl getting caught in the Murderer's house and had to fight for her life, the whole story about the murder of a little girl, and how during the investigation, strangers come to share a common goal.....

I guess the movie "CRASH" is an adult movie too instead of a movie geared towards Adults because in the beginning, that white cop was fingering that other guy's girl?

just admit that you're bitter, or you simply dont understand what's in front of you, "Adult situations"

BlackPrince 425463d ago (Edited 5463d ago )

@disagreers

Read what I wrote guys.

I'm not debating the merits of the game, who the hell knows how it will turn out at this point. I'm criticizing they way it's being introduced to the public. First Gametrailers gets footage of Madison lap dancing in a thong, then Kotaku gets video of her pressing up against a window and running around in her underwear, and now N4G sees here upping her sex appeal in front of a mirror.

And I'm not trying to downplay the other media that's been shown, the Mad Jack and Taxidermist scenes were both fascinating to me. But the funny thing is, both of those scenes were given some context about what they had to do with the story, despite the fact that the Taxidermist was a demo independent of the main story.

I think that if QD is going to brag, and they have been, that they are making a mature game that appeals to mature tastes, and I'm not talking the ESRB rating, then they should back that up with media that expresses how intelligent a story they have written or how well you'll identify with the characters.

@Cupid

Crash was not marketed on titillating sex scenes now was it.

I'll end this wall of text that no one will read with a ZP video that I think is a bit more punchy than what I can write here but illustrates my point, just skip to 3:20.

blind-reaper5463d ago

you are describing this game as another DOA or Leisure Suit man you have no fkin idea what you are talking about.

BlackPrince 425462d ago

No, I'm comparing to Mass Effect. Comparing it to Leisure Suit though, THAT would be grossly unfair.

...........?

now how can this game go against alan wake if this is what to expect when your playing this game. no, this game is NOT like alan wake, it's much different.

the graphics do look a bit nicer than that other guy's segment though.

digoutyoursoul85463d ago

it shouldnt be compared to alan wake as they very different games, the only thing they have in common is that they both look very good graphically.

Lfmesquite5463d ago

This is a game about real life situations and people.

Alan Wake is a horror action game where a writers books come to life and attack him, it's full of shooting and supernatual elements

There's no comparison other than fanboys needed to compare because both games were said to blow you away and both were surrounded by mystery, meaning no one knew anything about them.

I always got pissed off how they compared games we knew nothing about.

Chubear5463d ago

Alan Wake is essentially Alone in the Dark 2.

You better pray that the gameplay doesn't suck bad cause we all know how it goes for games that take over 5yrs before they even release a playable demo.

7ero H3LL5463d ago (Edited 5463d ago )

"You better pray that the gameplay doesn't suck bad cause we all know how it goes for games that take over 5yrs before they even release a playable demo."

don't know what you mean about that, i do know that once a game has been kept for so long in development it can prosper from major face lifts and stability enhancements, MGS4, KLZ2, Splinter cell C, alan wake, ff13, ect. so frankly the only thing that should matter is once the game is polished and finished.

Tony P5463d ago (Edited 5463d ago )

This game is the reason I bought a PS3. Some people will buy it for the graphics, but anyone who played Fahrenheit knows what to expect which is a lot of dynamic scenes seeded with QTEs. That is the gameplay and I am totally fine with it. It's the story I'll be paying attention to.

Alan Wake is different in its own way. It's already earmarked for my platform of choice and I'd love to hear more about it.

And um ftr, I don't think anyone supporting Heavy Rain or Alan Wake or both can talk smack about long secretive dev cycles. Seems pretty ironic coming from either camp, if you know what I mean.

SaberEdge5463d ago

"Alan Wake is essentially Alone in the Dark 2."

Sure, keep telling yourself that. Alan Wake is a dynamic open world game with a strong focus on narrative. It just also happens to have some very polished action mechanics as well. It is similar to Heavy Rain in some ways, but different in other ways. You definitely have more control over the action in Alan Wake.

They are both going to be good games.

raztad5463d ago

At first people thought HR and AW were competing but its clear they are different kind of games. Nothing is like HR except perhaps Indigo Prophecy. If you want to compare AW do it with Alone in the Dark or Silent Hill, and please no bs about open world and narrative (if you mean by narrative the annoying voice in the background). AW is just a third person action game, heavy in shooting and supposedly scary situations.

Chubear5463d ago

I dont' have to keep telling myself jack. Just use your own eyes. Go look at gameplay from Alone in the Dark and compare this to it. Alan Wake could easily pass as an Alone in the Dark 2 title.

callahan095463d ago

@ ChuBear:

I thought the same thing when watching the Alan Wake presentation. It looks so much like Alone in the Dark.

I'm cool with that, though, because I for one actually enjoyed Alone in the Dark. I played the PS3 version and liked it quite a bit. If Alan Wake even improves on the formula a little bit, it'll be quite fun in my opinion.

TheExecutive5462d ago

who has been comparing this game to alan wake? No one who has played indigo prophecy would liken it to any other game other than indigo. Seriously, seems weird.

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-F1437d 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.
