I didn't include "both" because I just want to know which of the two choices excites you more in Heavy Rain.

For me it is the gameplay because it has been a while (Indigo Prophecy) since we had a gameplay like Heavy Rain. The graphics is not a factor on why I want this game. I would still buy Heavy Rain even if the graphics is like Saints Row 2.

The story sounds really intriguing if it actually branches as much as they say and it would be interesting to discuss different paths people take. It's certainly a graphically impressive game as well, but there's also the danger of the uncanny valley when you get so relatively close to photorealism.

But out of graphics or gameplay, I'm more into the gameplay. The graphics look fantastic though.

I never bought games because of the graphics.....only for the gameplay. I grew up in the 80's, so I've played many games that most of yoiu guys now would be like "ILL! WTH IS THAT?!". Lol.

I would have to go with gameplay and the storyline. Those two are what keep us hooked to the game but graphics does play a role in it as well.

Actually I am kinda excited for both. But since i get to choose only one, I say gameplay. Story looks freakin sweet. I will be spending lots of time trying different possibilities and reactions. It will be fun.

I'm most excited about Heavy Rain because of its story.

It appears to be one of the first games with a real adult narrative, that doesn't rely on video game cliches

You should have included that as an option

Wasn't interested in this game at all, but the more I learn the more I think it has the potential to be like the old point and click Sierra ____ Quest games from the 90's. King's Quest, Space Quest, & Police Quest as well as Leisure Suit Larry and Phantasmagoria were some of my favorite games where you explored for the item to get you onto the next area. Someone correct me if I'm wrong in my idea of how Heavy Rain works, but the point and click method is the impression I get from the vids I've watched.

That too...we need games that go in deep...real deep...and if you think about it if they made a movie it would be probably good...

I'd help with the poll but you should have had the option for both on there, I'm interested in the game for both reasons. It looks great and the game play is new and different!

erm TC I think you'll find that most gamers are looking forward to Heavy Rain because of the story, including me. It's gonna be the most story-driven game on PS3, even more so then MGS4. Everything in the game will have a lasting consequence and will change the story as you go along, this really intrigues me.

Mostly the gameplay, cuz this is finally a game that rly can be called 'Next-Gen'. And the graphics are nice too, but would've bought the game anyway, even if graphics were sh!t.

I'm not excited for a movie posing as a game. Some could say MGS4 was a movie but really? Heavy Rain has no gameplay and for me graphics don't mean much.

gameplay specially since the story is so intriguing and your action in the game determine what happens with the story which gets me doubly excited for the game.

I CANT WAIT FOR THIS GAME!! I already reserved it at Gamestop (which is probably unnecessary but whatever lol) and Im excited about the gameplay mostly - the real time fighting and the interactive environment with no interface looks nice but its definately not the best graphically capable game

My girlfriend would probably like watching me play it because she likes watching cutscenes more than watching me play the game and since this game looks like it'll be one really long interactive cutscene I would have to say the graphics for my girlfriend's sake. I'll have fun playing it anyway.

Well, it's the story aspect that has me interested the most, but I guess the gameplay mechanics have me interested too.

thanks to Atticus I don't have to type very much :) the game also looks like it will cater to an older more mature audience so hopefully we'll get a deep intelligent story.

Gameplay obviously, though the story will be it's biggest selling point. Fahrenheit was a very unique, special experience (well, up until it's underwhelming ending anyway) and I hope this will follow suit.
