Don't get so hyped - you will be sorely disapointed if you are expecting an absolutely amazing, GOTY game. It's Jan/Feb time I think - the date is the 7th of one those months. Unless it's changed.

He probably won't be so jealous when he realizes it's not much of a game at all.

It's about talking to NPC's, trying to keep your self esteem up and controlling "action sequences" through QTE's

that is true. you will get a LOT more than that!

i don't know what is the problem some people have with QTEs. the game is not a interactive movie people! you can walk freely just like in indigo prophecy. also i'd like to say as an example that i have recently played the dante's inferno demo and despite it features "traditional" gameplay most of the game button presses feel out of context and are just plain button mashing unlike heavy rain8)

I think you mean the mainstream audience; there is no such thing as a casual gamer, thier just more mainstream gamers which makes up the bulk of the gaming market. This game isn't like Madden or CoD, it doesn't have that mainstream appeal, its like the art house movie vs the summer blockbuster. The art house movie will not lead the box office, it will not overshadow the summer movie.
It will be different alright. I just don't expect it to be well recieved on a console. this is more of a PC genre.mtmatt
I really don't see what indicates this kind of game will fly on the PC. This certainly looks like it would be better served on consoles. Oh and its not QTE's because QTE's don't have options. The scenes are equivalent to dialouge tree's in RPG, just that they dictate certain actions along with dialouge. You can also move about during certain sequences look at the scene with Jayden in the crusher to get an idea of how its not even close to as straightforward a QTE is.

For anyone that has not play indigo prophecy (a.k.a faranheit), they will not know how to appreciate a truely awesome game that will be Heavy Rain. The first time I heard about IP, I actually borrowed a PS2 even though I had a PS3 so I can experience what the game was all about. The game is amazingly immersive and I got caught up into the game like no other. I mean at one point, the game got my heart pumping..no game got me so attached. The split screen moments especially are my favorite (e.g. better think quick, here comes that police in the diner). For anyone that have not played IP, please do yourself a favor and just youtube it. Check out the beginning trailer and the beginning of the game. If you have a chance to play it on the PS2 or PC, I would strongly recommend it. Because IP was such a great game, its making me hype Heavy Rain (same developers). Especially since this is going to be a next gen of IP. Already paid in full for pre-order of this game.

Looking at it right now Part #26549cd1. Don't know what else you want. Seriously you bought a console to get hyped over a gam e like this?

You are LOOKING at it. You didnt PLAY it. So dont judge a game you havent played. If you think its just a bunch of scenes with button pushing you are wrong.

He's right though.

Fahrenheit was only different because it had the red/yellow/blue/green panel things, but at it's heart, it was a point and click adventure game and those were birthed on the PC.

Escape From Monkey Island, The Longest Journey, Broken Sword, Syberia, all cult classics on PC.

It's the exact same thing with Heavy Rain - take out all the QTE and you have a regular adventure game that belongs on the PC.

It does tend to give you some credibility when bashing or praising a game. People can look up your post history and see what your comment trend is.

This is why we like to scrutinize post counts. People like you say garbage like that which shows that you are truly no fan of the PS3 and most likely will bash anything associated with it. Really now, PS3 users are used to watching half of their games? I am assuming that you are meaning MGS4, which of course does not qualify as half of PS3 games. Sorry man, but your true colors have shown. Therefore, you have little to no credibility when speaking of Heavy Rain and will most likely contine the trend of endlessly bashing the game based on your own personal bias against the PS3 and not the game itself. You made this way to easy.

FIrst thier technically not QTE's but saying take those out which are the focal point of the game is like saying take out aiming from FPS on PC and its just as good on consoles. Those are the main game mechanics, to take them out would make it a completely different thing. So if the removal of the game defining mechanic is necessary to make it a better fit for PC, then its not meant for the PC.

Damn, "endlessly bashing" because i'm not jacked for the sucsessor to Indigo Prophecy? So console users should be pumped for dialog and QTE's.

i think half you post count has been dedicated to bashing this game so its quite close to endlessly bashing
also your showing ur lack of understanding of gaming in general if you cant accept the fact that fact people like playing adventure games and have liked playing them for probably over 20 years

something like heavy rain is probably over your head anyways

I am only worried about the voice acting in this game, but other than that, Heavy Rain looks set to be a promising story-driven adventure.

No, it's not like saying "take out aiming from an FPS on PC." With an FPS, aiming is essential; with Heavy Rain, the QTEs, or what you deem them otherwise, are not vital.

Add the QTE or take them out, Heavy Rain is still a point and click adventure game disguised as a cinematic experience. QD didn't have to litter their game with the button pressing, but seeing as how it's so much more 'movie-like,' I think it was quite appropriate, just not completely necessary.

They want to take the adventure genre of gaming in a more cinematic direction, but at the end of the day, it's still a point and click adventure game.

Actually I'm really interested in Heavy Rain.
It reminds me of great point and click adventures but in a more cinematic way.

(How I'd love those P&C adventures back then, Grim Fandango for instance) :)
