WOW......Heavy Rain

No wonder the Sony representative said this game will blow Uncharted 2 away. Just look at how amazing the combat system flows (low quality video provided below). Just imagine the final game. Watch the rare demo combat scene

It isn't hard to make your game look good when your basically playing interactive cutscene after interactive cutscene.

That said HR doesn't even look that good compared to many games.

Sigh.

No the example the TC produced is ,apart from a few presses of a button,totally scripted.Which means teh cell doesn't have to cope with calculating A.I,physics and shadows etc in real time. Which means that the character models and other effects can be significantly improved upon.

Although as i said,even considering that,HR doesn't look anything special imo.

To me HR is a choose your own adventure book made into a video game. Their is nothing wrong with that...I personally will not pay $60 for it but will probably pick it uplater at $20 or $30. I am interested to see how it sells and how it is accepted and if this will become a trend.

Didn't even look that good. Uncharted had better animations too. Ther video was low quality.

Also, how easy were those QTE's? They could put some effort into them ...

Stats_

It is more of a choice based QTE system. Say if you press triangle instead of circle, you actions will yield a different result. Thats why you see so many choices and you can only pick one that will affect the story progression in an unique way.

If you press all the buttons correctly without mistake, you will escape the fight with your life intact. Maybe the black guy dies.

Screw up on a few QTE, you will get injured and knocked out. And you are thrown into a car headed for the mashers.

Dont press anything and let the character die, etc. But the game still goes on.

These QTE are not a pass/fail system. It is basically you are the author and controlling the characters actions.

wow I was totally into this game but that video gameplay completely turned me off. Is the whole game QTE?

No, there is a good amount of investigation. The only thing is most of the game that has been shown is QTE and dialogue scenes.

I think this game might flop, or be AA status. Looks good, just not my type of game.

Scripted but yet depending upon what you press and when or what you manage todo the Script changes based on your actions. Is that really so hard to understand. [QUOTE="GabeNewellsPie"]

You do realise that there won't be any combat system in the game, right?

They're just quick-time events interwoven into cutscenes, which doesn't really count (in my opinion, anyway).

Idream2010

Nah, if Indigo Prophecy is any indication, there are sections where you walk around chatting to people and interacting with objects while you wait for the next round of QTEs.

WOW... a QTE! Amazing :P

QTE after QTE after QTE...

That looks rather boring, I can see it getting a little tedious after a while, and yes I did play though IP, the gem of that game was the excellent plot though.

Would get Conviction over this any day.

AnnoyedDragon

yeah i hate that too, didnt know it was that type of game, thought it was like Alan Wake, the graphics are awesome, but thats because its QTE for the most part, and investigation? not my thing. I wont be buying this.

See, you were right in this post until the second, absolutely ridiculous statement.

So close!

So is QTE combat and investigation the only gameplay aspect of the game?

I second that question? And did I miss something? I never knew it was supposed to be that type of game, i though free roaming

I'm not sure if I'm going to pick this game up for $60 but I might get it around $20-40.

dang it, i love eerie games like this, but QTE I never ever liked. Wasnt Shemue QTE? That wasnt that bad and it scored well, just didnt play it cause it was QTE. This definitely is going to hurt the hype if people didnt know that. I didnt until this thread.

they are not quick time events. can all of sw please please go play Indigo Prophecy before we continue to discuss this. im getting really sick of all these people not understanding the game. cliff122316

They are quick time events, how are they not? You have an allotted time to press a button to cause something to happen. Sure it may not be like Star Wars Force Unleashed QTE but they are infact QTE.

Nah, uncharted 2 still has it beat.racing1750
