GameSpy writes: "Since it looks to be nearly a year until the release of Heavy Rain, the development team at Quantic Dream is still being extremely secretive regarding the game's details. They invited us to Paris for a tour of their headquarters and showed us many of the ingredients that will be going into Heavy Rain, their highly anticipated PS3-exclusive adventure game. But it was clear there would be no sampling of the finished product. In fact, when it came to discussing any of the game's specifics, Quantic Dream's spokesman came about as close as one can to, 'If we told you, we'd have to kill you.'"
Spiffy: Emotional realism has the chance to revolutionize the genre; visuals are stunning.
Iffy: The plot and characters remain unknown; unique gameplay controls unavailable for hands-on testing.
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.
