There is a whole genre exclusive to the PS3

That isn't a genre either.

Isn't this just a adventure game?

It's called the adventure genre and is by no means exclusive to the PS3.

Adventure is exclusive to the PS3 now?

The Adventure genre is not PS3 exclusive

It's an adventure game, and the Monkey Island remakes say hello. They're a lot better too.

Why not, 'cause it's new? Sony has released two games in this genre, one platformer and one kart racer. The platformer has so many levels that take it beyond simple platforming it's several genres in itself. I say it's simply a new genre, and one I fully support.

Do you see what's wrong with this? If anything, what you're saying is that it should be a sub-genre, but there's LOTs of those.

Heavy Rain is a graphic adventure game and last I checked, Telltale Games has released some of their library on 360 and Wii so that means that Heavy Rain is not part of a PS3 exclusive genre. And that's not even counting the hundreds of graphic adventures that have been released on the PC over the decades. Heavy Rain has very high production values, but that does not change what genre it is in.

I knew it was gonna be about Heavy Rain :lol: Sites always make up their own genres, but essentially it's still an adventure game. BTW, TC you really love wikipedia as a source, don't you?Karnage108

You were saying?

EDIT: And no, its not a genre. Next up sheep, "Nintendo owns the Jump, Goomba, Star genre!!!!!"

Nope, your thinking of Action adventure.

it was a great game yes, but severely lacks replayability imo, once I got my ending, I truly could never see myself playing again for a different ending, it would ruin the experience for me. was worth a rental at best, as I beat it in maybe 2 days.

omho88

yea, there are adventure games on the 360.

Sherlock Holmes vs Jack the Ripper, and the CSI games.

I played all 3 of them for achievement points :)

granted none of them are nearly as good as heavy rain... and the CSI games are just outright awful... but the genre does exist on the 360.

anyhow, it looks good, but as a mystery of who-did-it the story loses its appeal by the second playthroughlamprey263

Heavy Rain is a fantastic game indeed. My ending made me so sad.

[QUOTE="Timstuff"][QUOTE="omho88"] can you mention the closest game to HR??omho88

[QUOTE="omho88"][QUOTE="Timstuff"] I can't think of one particular game that I would say is closest, other than Quantic Dreams' other game, Indigo Prophect, however there are a great many games that are generally similar (though most have a larger emphasis on logic puzzles and do not have QTE's). Tales of Monkey Island is available on all 4 platforms and it follows the same basic formula of solving problems by interacting with your environment to solve problems and persuading characters through conversations or giving them things. The only real difference is that Heavy Rain simplifies this formula and uses QTE's as most of the primary challenge instead. It is still a graphic adventure game though.Timstuff

Even so, both games are in the adventure game genre. HR may be different from other adventure games in many ways, but it's still at the end of the day an adventure game.

I absolutely guaruntee that something fitting that description is on the PC.

I was expecting LBP and ModNation in the Play.Create.Share genre... o well...

[QUOTE="Funconsole"]Indigo Prophecy did the same thing and it's on the PC :? And more like thisRavensmash

Fahrenheit is the original name,it was changed for the US because of Michael Moore´s movie/documentary,called Fahrenheit.

As far as I know,it´s only Indigo Prophecy in the US(maybe Canada as well?),but it´s Fahrenheit everywhere else.

i thought that you were gonna talk about wipeout in the futuristic racer genre

its really just the evolution of the point and click adventure game now that i think about it...wolverine4262

[QUOTE="wooooode"]I would not say one of its kind because their last game Indigo Prophecy or Fahrenheit had a very simular style.omho88

[QUOTE="delta3074"][QUOTE="omho88"] the point is every genre starts with one game, your arguemnt is so dull. As i said before, genre is a gameplay variety NOT the number of games under it.omho88

Also TC....why edit the post and highlight "this generation", it just makes your argument sound weaker.Ravensmash

Heavy Rain was an amazing game, i sure loved it, sadly Sony told them to not do any more DLC and focus on making the agme support Move :(, would have loved to play the rest of the DLC
