New Heavy Rain gameplay video!!

This is my worst gaming nightmare given flesh.

I hate quick time events, yet every video I have seen of this game seems to only contain that.

What next? A game which is one giant escort mission? Oh yeah that was RES 5 from what I hear.

Didn't cows bash Ninja Blade for QTEs? :roll: More importantly so did Gamespot's reviewer..so..I expect a nice dose of hypocricy as usual. DeadMagazines

wait i want to know wut happens lol

gameplay? more like interactive movie play lol

If thats the case we might as well say 99% of rpgs don't have gameplay. They are interactive movies.

Well....Ehh...I dunno.

I admit the scene was pretty compelling. But it's still a game made by the same idiot who wrote Indigo Propehcy: perhaps the worst story known in the realm of videogames.

I need evidene of three things before I consider getting this game:

1) That it won't end up like Indigo Prophecy.

2) That the amount of QTE will be severely downgraded from Indigo Prophecy.

3) That he's not going to leave little political snippets in the periphery elements of the game like he did in Indigo Prophecy.

DON'T BE LIKE INDIGO PROPHECY!!

And this one if you don't press the button many different scenarios can happen. Didn't they say if a character dies there isn't a game over?

bigblunt537

so the movie plays out differently depending on whether you press the button at the correct time. it's still an interactive movie t

hey mentioned that the story would carry on regardless of which character dies but the ending would suck and the game would be very short. so i guess there'll just be less cutscenes

either way game sounds crap, especially compared to rpgs like alpha protocol, infinite space, strange journey and the untitled zombie rpg from brian mitsoda

Agreed I'm dying for this to release.

Engaging story? The entire game is all about the story. That's the main focus of the entire thing. No permanent consequences? I guess if you mess up and your character dies and is dead with no chance of respawning, that isn't considered a permanent consequence?

That completely blew me away! My god that looks incredible!

Really Good Stuff!

HEY GUYS! Here's what happens after the bottle drops....AND with audio and in HD! This game looks sick. http://www.gametrailers.com/video/gc-09-heavy-rain/54442Jrfanfreak88

Wow this game just keeps looking better and better

man this game looks great.. cant wait for this one.. PS3 dishing out great games lately its a pain in my wallet. :P

[QUOTE="biggest_loser"]Gameplay - push button. Thats it. At least Fahrenheit had some interaction and immersion with the controls. CosbyOwnsStuff

What? I wouldn't go that far. Pressing QTE's while running away from imaginary bugs in a bank office or playing the guitar isn't what I would call immersive. Or perhaps *Click, Move Cursor Down, Release Click* is what your talking about?

Indigo and this look almost exactly alike. This one is just prettier and hopefully doesn't have a stupid ending. Thats good enough for me. Day one.

The depth is the story. The actions you take will change the story.

[QUOTE="emorainbo"] I think Heavy Rain will score worse than Ninja Blade since it wont have the engaging story of NB or permanent consequences like NB.

Dammit I didn't catch the sarcasm. I guess I'm so used to people bashing this game that I jumped to a conclusion

[QUOTE="dream431ca"]

[QUOTE="biggest_loser"] Yeah I was talking about the way in which you have to utilise the controls as though you were using an object yes. I don't see what people like about this apart from the visuals. There is no depth to the game play. biggest_loser

There are different genres, and this is one of those rare games that lets you control the story. It's still a game.

I'm not contesting any of those points. Yes the actions have outcomes on the story, but the actually actions themselves - what you actually DO in the game - has about the depth of a puddle.

The facial details reminds me of Mass Effect. Really well done. Voice acting is quite good. I don't see why some people are complaining about the voice acting.

The ending! I want to see what happens. Anyways, I am very interested in this game. It reminds me of my time with Lost World and Dragons Lair.

Is there any other type of gameplay other then quick time events?SilentlyMad

did you see those mash potatoes? man those looked real enough to eat

oh noes the bottle! :o

the more the show from it, the less like an adventure game it looks gameplay-wise:?, altough it's Quantic Dream, I guess that was to be expected

Hands down the best console graphics I have seen this gen :o

'Interactive Movie' games: http://www.mobygames.com/browse/games/x,60/offset,0/so,1a/list-games/

"An interactive movie is a video game presented using full-motion video of either animated or live-action footage. As the presentation styIe has fallen out of favor, the term is sometimes used in a derogatory way to describe games that have a heavy emphasis on cut scenes and plot, at the expense of engaging gameplay.

The first commercial interactive movie game was the 1983 arcade game Dragon's Lair, featuring a full-motion (FMV) cartoon by ex-Disney animator Don Bluth, where the player controlled some of the moves of the main character. When in danger, the player was to decide which move or action, or combination to choose. If they chose the wrong move, they would see a 'lose a life' scene, until they found the correct one which would allow them to see the rest of the story. There was only one possible successful storyline in Dragon's Lair; the only activity the user had was to choose or guess the move the designers intended them to make. Despite the lack of interactivity, Dragon's Lair was very popular and addictive, and has since received a remake on modern day gaming consoles (except with a complete genre change)."

Wow this game has improve. The detail in the store is just amazing. I probably rent the game if it turns out to be good.

looks real good... hope it plays as good as it lookes!

One of the best games this generation.

Only xbots would go and say stuff like its movie and you dont play you watch etc -.-

This a diferente original IP, a new try at game genres and if this story turn out to spectacular (a la MGS or any other epic gaming story line), this game meybe be rembered for yeard to come

looks good.

People bash this for not being a proper game. But why should that matter? Its entertainment.

And anyway I love a good story.

This is like one of those books where you choose what happens (tried one of those, theyre garbage) excpet its in motion which is cool.

Looks amazing!!, And with a great deal of intrigue......Ignore the haters, some fanboys wont be happy unless every character in gaming has a gun mounted on their being

This game will be amazing!!!
