Despite it being over 30 years since Atari launched Pong on an unsuspecting world, video gaming is still largely an industry in its adolescence. Sure, developers have unleashed virtually unparalleled levels of imagination and inventiveness in digital entertainment. However, thought-provoking subjects dealing with real emotional issues often remain a world undiscovered in video games. French studio Quantic Dream aims to change this trend with upcoming third-person action game Heavy Rain: The Origami Killer. Digital Spy caught up with lead developer David Cage to discuss the potential birth of a new era in gaming.
Ben from Netto's Game Room takes a look at 7 video games where dying doesn't mean the end, as the story and world simply continue on without you.
We present a list of horror games with depressing endings, each known for its unique experience and storytelling.
"Many video games catch not only great commercial attention but remarkable critical attention as well. We have seen games like Heavy Rain, The Last of Us Part II, and even entries in the Metal Gear series described as fantastic interactive experiences, even heralded in the same way as Hollywood's greatest films.
I would suggest that not only is this an unfair comparison but also a harmful one. Video games, by their very nature, are an intricately different medium and should be weighed against one another rather than another form of media," Phillip writes for GF365.
I think Hollywood films will becoming increasingly more like video games in the future, especially as the world embraces the "new normal" from the pandemic. It makes sense, as games like Spider-Man: Miles Morales showcase just how realistically we're reaching in graphical capabilities, as well as showcase extreme action sequences in spectacular ways. And as time goes by, it'll get easier and cheaper to produce such "art", as well as create new star "actors" that never age, never die, never complain, never gets involved in scandals, etc. Technology is amazing and we're only just getting a taste of what it'll eventually be.
No. For the money spent, a quality game provides far more entertainment value than a quality movie. Especially when looking at what is going on in the world, and how a studio can attempt to pilfer from consumers by charging 30 dollars for Mulan via streaming. Ridiculous. There is no comparison....games all day.
I was gutted when Heavy Rain went ps3 exclusive, knowing that the graphics now have to be down graded for it to run on it.
If only they had developed it on the 360 then maybe it would be the game we all hope it would be.
I suppose once it flops as most Ps3 games do the developer will see sense and make the better version for xbox.
LOL ^^
Are you for real Judder?
Really looking forward to this. In fact its probably my most wanted PS3 game next year. I love the look of Killzone2 but its nice to play something different you know.
i hear Heavy Rain wanted to be open world with dynamic weather like Alan Wake but the PS3 couldn't handle it so they had to resort to small enviorments and quick time events. Its a real shame when a developer is stiffled by inferior hardware.
