How far are you prepared to go to save someone you love? For most people in real life, they'd risk life and limb, particularly if the person that you love was in danger of dying. But would you feel the same way with a video game character? Quantic Dream is working hard on trying to blur this distinction by making a title that will play with your emotions, raise the level of story telling and expand gaming. Heavy Rain, their upcoming film noir thriller, will exclusively hit the PS3 sometime next year, and IGN had a chance to check out some of the elements that will be working their way into the game at Quantic's Paris studio.
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.
Wow. Lots of publications are doing some new impressions on this game today. Maybe it's really gotten far underway and they'll announce a release date for sometime in early/mid 2009?
If they can pull this off, it might be 2009 GOTY.
They said that death isn't meaningful in games; What about Double Dragon. After fighting through the whole game with your twin brother(player two and friend), you have to fight to the death and the victor gets the girl. That's pretty meaningful!
