Stop Hyping Heavy Rain

It's an unproven game, it hasn't released anywhere, no reviews or claims of how it will score by any credible site, and it's got a lot cut-scenes playing throughout it which could help or hurt it's score.

People should hype only proven great games or franchises or games that have come out somewhere in the world like Demon's Souls did in Asia and scored well.

There's no credible basis to be hyping this game yet. I'm a PS3 only owner but this is pure fan-boy goggles hyping!

indigo prophecy alone is reason enough to hype heavy rain. TheMistique

Yet it's also a very good reason to be extremely wary of it, since that game simply did not deliver.

I'd be surprised if anyone was actually satisfied by the last third of Indigo Prophecy, and as for the stealth sections...ugh.

Indigo prophecy got 8.4 on GS so that alone isa bigenoughreason to hype it

Fahrenheit (aka Indigo Prophecy) is enough basisto me to be hyped. Fahrenheit was agreat game with weird fne chapters, so Heavy Rain will become a cult game.

The same like ICO and SOTCthat are enough to me to be hyped for The Last Guardian.

Unproven? You DO realize they previously made a game called Indigo Prophesy which is the same in terms of style and gameplay, right? And that many people who have played that game loved every second of it for its originality and innovation at bringing back the old-school point-and-click adventure type games.

The problem, as I see it, isn't what console you own...but the appearance that you've never gamed before owning that particular console and yet want to speak like an authority on games.

Why do people keep saying Indigo Prophecy blah, blah,blah. Who cares this is not Indigo Prophecy II, this is Heavy Rain. Factor 4.5 made Rogur Squadron, didn't help them with Lair. I'm not saying Heavy Rain will be bad , but to keep saying INdigo Prophecy, Indigo Prophecy sounds stupid. You wanna make a case for Heavy Rain then talk about heavy rain.

You come off sounding like a fake boy to me. Also you're reason for putting people off the hype traincould be applied to every single new IP that is every hyped before release. The game should be a new refreshing thing.

No. I decided to copy and paste my response in the other Heavy Rain hate thread because again seeing how its so fitting:

As one of the few people here that has actually played a bit of the game I can tell say with a resounding yes! This game deserves its hype, there is enough player control and interaction to keep you interested and the replay value is off the walls.

In viewing three playthroughs of the game and playing one myself of the same demo area, all 4 of us had far different conclusions than each other in the demo. We all tackled it from different angles and did different actions with different consequences. And it was a pretty high tense situation that required plenty of "interaction" and those button presses (or non presses) changed the flow and/or outcome of the scene.

People have been enjoying adventure games for a long time and there is no reason why people wouldn't be excited for Heavy Rain.

You are honestly running with that comparison? HR and IP are not the same game, but they are spiritual successors. They are the same style, similar gameplay, same intent by the developers to deliver a cinematic game, etc, etc, etc. Lair and Rogue Squadron were NOTHING ALIKE. NOTHING. Two totally different games and that doesn't even touch on the development issues associated with Lair such as having to slap in 6 axis at the last possible second. And I would even add that I didn't like Rogue Squadron either...so how does that fit into your comparison?

Second, hype is hype. Since when does hype have ANYTHING to do with evidence and reality. NOTHING. That is why it is called hype. If people only talked about games that were already out and everyone played them...there wouldn't be any such thing as hype. Positive words would be praise and negative would be criticism. By definition, hype is excitement by people who like what they have seen, and we have seen different aspects of HR that people can form opinions on.

So no matter how you want to spin it, telling people to stop hyping something is much weaker than the original hyping.

"So no matter how you want to spin it, telling people to stop hyping something is much weaker than the original hyping."

I didn't "spin" anything kid, nor did I tell people to stop hyping anything. I don't think it's hard to understand if you're going to hype a game then quit talking about another game that has nothing to do with this game. You know hype the game your takinf about not a totally different game.:roll:

"Second, hype is hype. Since when does hype have ANYTHING to do with evidence and reality. NOTHING"

Hype has nothing to do with evidence LMAO. Yah there is not evidence like known features, previews, dev diaries, etc.. LMAO yah nothing to do with reality, grow up I never said anything bad about this game or said to stop hyping it, merely to hype this game not another game this Dev made previously.

Omg how the hell could i sloop down to the level of liking something thats not a shooter! Oh my god i gotta go commit sepuku now to save my family from the disgrace!

I'll echo earlier statements; Indigo Prophecy is a reason both to hype the game and to be weary of it,since both seem to be very similar. So long as its more in-line with the better elements of Indigo Prophecy (which would basically be the first two-thirds of the game),and stays as far away as possible from what was awful in Indigo Prophecy (...the last third),it should be good.

Yeah, but whacha gonna do?

:P Cows have to do something while lemmings hype ME2 as the greatest game ever.

Why did you make this thread?

I'm hyping it because I love a good story in a game, the concept sounds interesting. And I'm a fan of Indigo Prophecy/Farenheit

somehow I think TC miss the point...

it IS hyped because it is not your standard game, it is trying to do something new, (well sort of, I do know about thier last game). It is a game that may or may not be really impressive, so I think the hype is ok

Why are people so afraid of internet ownage? I don't get it. I hype anything I want and take the heat when I'm wrong (at least by reviews).

It's no biggie.

It has Ub3r L33t HD graphics!!! AAAAAAAAAAE CONFIRMED!!!
