New Heavy Rain Info!

Awesome. This is onw of the few games that interesting me from the PS3. Now we only need a price cut.IronBass

QFT. HR look amazing, and really does make me want a PS3. So does God of War 3. I know by the time GoW3 comes out, the price will have dropped...

The game looks like pretentious fail TBH, what exactly is it? i can't seem to figure out where the actual gameplay will feature. does it have any? The line about "Emotion simulator" made me want to hurl, if these guys could insert their heads any further into their rectums they would cause some kind of space time inversion. "You can't play be the same old rules" WTH does that even mean?! And the line i hold most contempt for is "Its tome for our industry to grow up" :| yeah, the industry is already grown up enough TY, we don't need you to pretend to do it. thegoldenpoo

I agree that David Cage can be a little pretentious some times. But he does have some interesting ideas. I liked a lot of what he done in its last games.

There are videos of gameplay, if you want to know, go check them, or play indigo Prophecy, as the gameplay of HR will be an evolution of that.

Emulation Simulator does sound lame. But it transmits what David Cage wants with the game. Inspire emotions, take the player in a ride of feelings.

You can't play with the same old rules simply means that we need to search for new ways to play games. yeah, some will say "bu bu bu, interative movieee!!!", and others will be inspired to search and make similiar gameplay investiments. At the end, Cage wants to "blow" players effectivily, in an emotional sense, so new ways need to be searched.

At last, I agree with him when he says that the industry needs to grow. It needs to present more mature themes. At is current state, it's obvious that videogames are aimed to teens and people that like just to entertain themeselves while blowing stuff meaningless. No reason for that to stop. But it would be very welcome to see adult games coming out, reinforcing them as storytelling devices.

If you've played through Fahrenheit, you would have more of an idea of what he is talking about. I'm glad there are some companies out there trying new things to strive to push video games forward, instead of just relying on the same old concepts and gameplay. That's basically all he's claiming in the article. Nothing pretentious about that.

This is exactly the kind of stuff i was thinking while i read that pretentious article :lol:AAllxxjjnn

iv been looking forward to this game for a long time. i hope it sells well because we need more games like this.

the success of the 360 and FPS games in my opinion have stunted the growth of gaming with to many developers going taking the easy route of making ANOTHER FPS/3rd person shooter.

financially its the right thing to do but in the long run i think its really hurting the creativity and advancement of gaming in general.

you couldnt be more right.

[QUOTE="black_tempest"][QUOTE="AAllxxjjnn"] "It's time for the industry to grow up". I have played Fahrenheit, i know what to expect. Doesn't stop the way they describe their game from being pretentious.AAllxxjjnn

one of the main reasons why i bought ps3.loved indigo prophecy,so i have no doubts this will be just as good.

I really hope this game brings the Adventure genre back into the mainstream.

less killzone ,more Monkey island

David Cage said exactly the same thing about Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy (check out his introduction in the demo - all lies! :P), and yet that had game barely any consequences in it at all. Heavy Rain will probably be better, but I wouldn't get too hyped about it.

Anyway, so...what type of gameplay will this have? It doesn't strike me as a traditional puzzle-solving adventure game, and if QTEs aren't a major part of the game...will it really just be an interactive movie?

If the story is anything to go by indigo prophecy than people should pass it. The 1st half was fine. But the matrix stuff was really bad...

This seems like a game for the older crowd. I doubt kids and teenagers will be able to get into this. And I welcome it!

i just want to say i'm a teen and i want this game. I like games with deep story lines and real characters. Bioshock is one of my favorite games because of its amazing characters and story line.

for my i dont care if its qte, as long as its entertaining and interesting, its good enough for me.

for all you haters saying its a movie, shut up. Now.

[QUOTE="black_tempest"] Yes, but you made it sound as though one mans words reflected the opinions of the whole company, which is innacurate ;)taker42

Sounds great. I am excited because of 2 things, its something new for gaming, and its driven by story. Will definatly give this a buy.

This is the only game that I've been really excited about in a long time.

He did show some humility in this part

"I hope to convince people outside our industry that games can be more than just toys for kid: that they can become art. I don't pretend I will do all that with Heavy Rain and make it a milestone, but I hope that it will open the way."

Anyway, in the post you seemed to be agreeing with, it involves judging the game as prentious fail, just based off the article. And asks if it has any gameplay. Well you should know it will have gameplay if you've played Fahrenheit, since it will be an evolution of that. As I said, David Reeves is just describing how HR will be different and that they are striving to help move games forward. Nothing wrong with that.

Sweet, thanks for posting those scans. The game is sounding awesome, but I'm not surprised. Quantic Dream is amazing. All the different turns the story can take is mind-blowing...it isn't mentioned in this interview but it actually has a 2,000 page script (for all the different choices you can make to affect the story I guess) which is massive. This is a day one buy for me.

What I mean to say is that David Cage obviously is pretentious, but it's a good thing we have people like him who really try to get somewhere and might at least get partway there. I just sort of tune out when he's saying all this mumbo-jumbo about emotions and evolving the media and whatnot, but underneath all that Heavy Rain is based upon a solid concept that I find really appealing. So whether he at some level succeeds or not, I think it'll still be an excellent game.

Fahrenheit was at its best during certain parts where David Cage hadn't written while under the influence, and he keeps repeating that Heavy Rain will be completely grounded in reality. Fahrenheit showed that Quantic Dream has a knack for setting up compelling, involving scenes, whether they're tense or calm. Basically, the diner and apartment scenes were brilliant and I'm hoping Heavy Rain will be one long extension of that.
