Heavy rain is stunning,even for a fanatic PC gamer like me.

I have seen the demo where the dope head FBI police meets the bad mouthed black man.simply put it was stunning.dialogues,immesrsion,sounds and most important of all,graphics.I really congratulate to PS3 fanboys for having such an excelusive awesome game.it was like a movie.{even better than a movie}but I think strong profanity shouldn't be added to this game.

last word:this game is going to be a revolution.

I wasn't impressed. Aside from the graphics being good everything else seems weak. Especially the voice acting. It's like watching an amateur grade puppet show. And I despise quicktime events so that ain't exactly winning me over.

apart from scribblenauts heavy rain is my most anticipated game coming out

Game looks terrible. Poor textures, poor models, even the lipsyning is poor, and the models are completely stiff. Not to mention that the its a QTE fest with regard to gameplay.

And the game is so stupid too. First time I saw the crappy / gimmick gameplay of having to put on makeup in the ladies bathroom. Ugh, so stupid. Is anyone seriously looking forward to putting on virtual makeup on an ugly 3D model?

Looks like just a long movie with a bunch of QTE thrown in for something to be considered gameplay.rybe1025

Long movie with Xbox 1 graphics in HD. And yes lots and lots of QTE.

nice ferdowsi pic man. hes the best

I, as a console gamer, think heavy rain will suck

You take a closed environment with none of the game processes that drain resources away from graphics like physics and AI, you then cram every resource you have into the one environment. Cell is a hybrid CPU so anything not used for CPU work can be cannibalized for graphics, it's really nothing unexpected from PS3 provided you highly restrict where resources are being used.

I also wouldn't call one long quick time event a revolution, more like my worst nightmare.

Enjoy. Notice how none of the characters even have moving / flowing hair or clothing. There's not even so much as boob physics. All the models are completely stiff. The frame rate is crap too, lighting is poor too, no volumentric shadows ANYWHERE, which is really poor given that a club scene would be great for that. None of that is used, and yet the frame rate sucks.

And then the gameplay... I ask again. Is there ANYONE here that is looking forward to putting on makeup on that ugly thing? The developers have got to be really desperate to think that kind of gameplay is going to help sell this game, and they must also thinks gamers are really desperate - enough to think that fugly femal model is anything to look at. You'd think they'd bother to give her a decent face.

I remember dial-up, I feel your pain. But sorry, it would take too long to describe in detail. Basically you have to use controller motions and PS3 waggle commands to put on makeup. Probably the stupidest scene in a video game ever.

Heavy Rainis just an interactive movie, you watch cutscene, press 2 buttons, watch more cutscene.

And it might seem reasonably enjoyable and have more peopel looking forward to if it were showing footage of what looked like a good movie with high production value and a good story.

Instead it looks like the most generic B-movie you ever saw. That sort of puts the game into the category of double fail. I'm willing to be that the game will bomb in sales. The game gets hyped for no valid reason other than the fact that it's a PS3 exclusive, because being in last place the PS3 needs all the exclusive hype it can get.

Looks very interesting to me. If you don't like it then go play one of the 10 million FPS out there.

I want this clarified. I know there are some quicktime events, but isn't the gameplay sick on this. Where movement is really different to any other game, and isnt it a puzzle game, so wouldn't the gameplay be in exploring and minigames.tirralirra

Talking / dialog

Cutscene of traveling

Cutscene entering a gameplay area

Walking around (timed)

I hate when people voice their opinions about the gameplay, but have no diea how it plays. If you didn;t like Indigo Prophecy that's fine, but I thought the gameplay was awesome. Most people just call it "interactive movie" because they have no idea what they are talking about.

Oh, I didnt realise the game's already out. What reviews did it get?tirralirra

I have a special gift. I can detect fail years into the future.

[QUOTE="heretrix"]

[QUOTE="Animal-Mother"] I take it you haven't played indigo prophecyAnimal-Mother

[QUOTE="Animal-Mother"][QUOTE="heretrix"]Why do people always throw that out there as if that's going to change peoples opinons on QTE's? I think they suck no matter how they are implemented. It's a shortcut for actual gameplay and given that some games are already short as it is, I'd rather be actually playing. I can't stand the overdose of all of theis cinematic crap some developers are shoving down peoples throats. They should make a movie if they care about cinematics so much. I get really pissed everytime control is taken out of my hands to show my character doing something that I could have been doing myself.

[QUOTE="heretrix"]

It's a good game. It really represents what HR will be . I mean people can blindly hate all they want, but i'm just pointing something out. That it's not that bad for all of us.Animal-Mother

[QUOTE="Animal-Mother"]

[QUOTE="heretrix"]It isn't blind hate if someone is looking at what is being presented to them and criticizing it.As for blindness, this game was blindly accepted as great when only a tech demo was shown, well before anyone knew it was actually going to be a game. That probably contributes to a lot of the backlash.

tirralirra

Eh, the game isn't really my style but credit where credit is due it does look to be really good for those who enjoy this kind of thing.

If its anything like the first half of Farenheight/IQ then I'm sold.

I thought that game was a refreshing and enjoyable change to how we experiance videogames ,though it did get worse as the game wore on.

[QUOTE="Animal-Mother"] but just calling it a game solely based on QTE's is a stretch tirralirra

Question do you get what inm saying when I say "calling it a game based solely around QTES Is a strecth" You know that means that people who are calling it a game only based around QTES are likely to see that theres a lot more behind it than that

Can't tell you the future of a game I know nothing about. Never heard of it before.

The best game I've ever played, that's a REALLY hard one. However I did give it some thought. I've played so many that I've forgotten tons that I loved.

Right now the only reasonable answer I can come up with is LandStalker on the Sega Genesis. However that may change tomorrow or in a few minutes if I give it some more consideration.

The game isn't about gameplay, is about story, and when they say that the first time you play the game you wont even watch 10% of all the posibilities, that's when it got me interested, as long as the story is great, the game will be great.

Fahrenheit is more than enough to get me interested in it.

Heavy rain offers amazing production value, with a very bold attempt at story driven gameplay that is uncommon for this industry. While tryinig to show games can be a storytelling device more deep than movies and books. Trying to create an art form that doesn't need to be cliched and can be mature oriented.

A bold and risk attempt that should be praised, but instead is meet with such ignorant comments here.

Sad day for any self respecting gamer. That is why they don't make more games like Grim fandago.

And if things continue this way, perhaps games like Bioshock won't happen either.

heavy rain is stunning in that it has managed to get some people actually interested in playing such an early-90s concept with early-2000s graphics
