To say Heavy Rain is an ambitious title would be an understatement, and to say it isn't unique would be a flat-out lie. What Quantic Dream is crafting here could turn out to be nothing short of an instant classic if all the pieces come together correctly. It'll take IGN more than a single play-through to figure that out, however, as the game isn't designed to be a linear tale by any stretch of the means. Instead, it's something meant to be experienced in unique ways by different people each time you go through the game.
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.
many this game is looking great. i love that you could have skipped all the QTE's if you did some snooping around. A lot of people will still belittle this game to an interactive movie or bunch of QTE's. I think review wise it won't be that good as people will say it's just QTE's but i find interactive story telling along with true mature themes very compelling. also i'm kinda glad it's coming out in 2010 cause i have way too many games to get this fall already
I cannot WAIT for this game... as a huge fan of Indigo Prophecy, I'm completely INTRIGUED by this title and i'm there day one whenever this releases (anyone catch this on Spike TV where the guy said "coming exclusively to the PS3 next year) ?
I hope that's a mistake
EDIT:
So it is pushed back :(
..ROD..Sales..ROD..Sales..ROD. .a never ending Story!!!
its sad but true this game wont sell as much as the hype is.
today gamers dont want to waste their money on something new creative or original despite of the good reviews(yes they call it waste)
they only want to shoot with the guns
