How can you hype over Heavy Rain? It looks horrible.

So I just finished watching the videos of Heavy Rain that I could find, and I have to say, it looks terrible.

Is the only reason that people seem to be hyping this the graphics? Yes, they look very good, but the gameplay we have seen so far looks awful. Even the movement I saw looked scripted, is this even anything more than a movie with overlay button pressing? It looks good, but I have yet to see an once of quality.

If so, I think I might have a movie some of you will enjoy until Heavy Rain is released.

*shrugs*

I don't know.

I've never played Indigo Prophecy, when it came out it looked too much like an interactive movie for me to like it, so I didn't buy it.

What can I expect for Heavy Rain?

And this is why the adventure gaming genre died.

Even when Quantic Dream try to put a little bit of action into their game, console gamers aren't pleased.

*sigh*

I hope it becomes popular. The genre could do with a kick in the pants.

Prolly the same aproach, but evolved, if you didn't like the idea of IP, Heavy Rain won't be for you either. I for one think IP was a great game, and can't wait for heavy rain.

I'm a fan of some adventure games.

I enjoyed Grim Fandango, Monkey Island, and the Sam & Max games. Is Heavy Rain anything like those? From what I've seen so far this looks like a movie with a PaRappa styled overlay to give the player an illusion of actual gameplay.

you do realize that by saying that you're also saying MGS4 is a terrible game? :?MaskedHoodlum

There was gameplay in MGS4. I didn't enjoy it nearly as much as previous MGS games (Even though I disliked the entire series) and the cutscenes were annoying.

It's different. The "puzzles" aren't fixed or anything. Depending on how you complete a certain objective, the storyline and gameplay carry out in a different manner than if you would've done something else.

Have you played Farenheit/Indigo Prophecy? I think it's an evolution of that type of gameplay.

I would hope though, there would be less mini-games/quick-time events. I really can't wait for the day I see the traditional adventure game married with the ambitious concept Quantic Dream is putting forth.

That seems pretty interesting, I might try out Indigo Prophecy and see if it changes my opinion.

Why don't any of the Heavy Rain trailers seem to be advertising these features? From what I've seen so far it just seemed like vague, cryptic, graphics flexing.

Its from the Fahrenheit devs. It is the only PS3 game i really want to play!!!PAL360

same

only good Ps3 exclusive after 2008

I like games that try taking a more cinematic approach to gaming.SpruceCaboose

o boy... i hate how that sounds. the cinematic approaches to gaming take the fun out of gaming. like mgs4. its great. but its not that much gaming... if you know what i mean

Indigo Prophecy, and I expect the same of Heavy Rain is the next step in our old "Adventure" games like Monkey Island. The idea is that you are playing a movie, and you can interact with its different elements, change the course of action depending on things you did which also gives to different outcomes.

Its not a genre for everyone, in fact, I can bet my butt that 99% of the gamers/users here only use it because of the great graphics that it has, but only 1% knows what it will be about. Most are surely expecting some sort of "action" game, but will find it as something completely opposite.

Well, Quantic Dream is seriously trying to push "the cinematic". I don't think it's as "on rails" as the teasers seem to be giving out.

Not to mention the new TeamIco game (whatever it may be) and the inevietable games that will be released by Naughty Dog and Insomniac...oh yeah and GT5 and Killzone2.

looks 10 times better than alan wake

graphically??? no :lol: all we've seen of AW is the pc version and its bordering on crysis level and may even top crysis. All heavy rain has is good character models. even gta4 had better looking environments than heavy rain.

So you say a game is horrible, features awful gameplay and taunt people looking forward to it without knowing anything about it?

I've been bashing the PS3 since before it came out and even I know Heavy Rain looks promising.

Im guessing you have the full copy of heavy rain and seen all the done enviroments. All we have seen is a house and street. I think the game looks great so far. OF course AW on PC is going to look teh awesome as long as you have the rig.

So I just finished watching the videos of Heavy Rain that I could find, and I have to say, it looks terrible.
