That's pretty cool, I guess. I mean, I guess the only reason they really made it a game was so you can choose to make this happen or that happen, but I don't mind. That's awesome. As time goes on, I think movies will have more control over them. Choosing alternative paths and such. Just think about all the little instances in movies that have completely changed the course of the film. I'll give a recent example.
*SLIGHTSPOILERS!* The fake German in Inglorious Bastards used his index, middle, and ring fingers to represent three. In Germany, it is common to use the index middle, and thumb fingers instead. This little situation completely turned the tables of the movie, and had three Basterds die because of it. *END SLIGHT SPOILERS!*
Imagine controlling that, and then seeing what happens at the end. At first, I wasn't excited about this game, but it is essentially a movie with multi-paths. Even if I am not incredibly intrigued by the plot, it still has an interesting premise. I would really like if they started doing this with movies from way back when, ya know, changing what happens and seeing things from other perspectives.
I think Heavy Rain can reel in a few non-gamers. It's already on the "Blu-Ray system," soit could get a few.
Anyway, what do you guys think? I think it's pretty sweet. I just have no idea if these little events will have a little cut-scene that doesn't really affect the flow of the movie/game and change the course of it. They would have to have had put a lot of time in to designing all these different paths. It seems really time consuming if each one is as great as the standard cut-scenes.
