Understanding Heavy Rain

Looking back at Quantic Dream´s last masterpiece, Fahrenheit (or Indigo Prophecy for the Americans), really gets me excited for their highly anticipated next game - Heavy Rain. Fahrenheit was definitely a fresh and revolutionary step for the gaming industry. Not only did it deliver a unique gameplay experience but even today is it still known as one of the most emotionally immersive games ever made.

Well im glad someone wrote this, as ive been watching all these trailers and I havent the slightest idea of what the hells going on or why..

PeterPanParadox6181d ago

I have played Fahrenheit and if this article is accurate then I will definitely be buying Heavy Rain. I loved Fahrenheit.

PeterPanParadox6181d ago

Thanks, Charlie.

I can´t believe I have never seen that before!

beardpapa6181d ago

As much as I love Indigo Prophecy (farenheit) and of course I'm looking forward to Heavy Rain, I really hope they don't have those crap Simon-Says mini games in there. They're really annoying and just too much of em.

By far my most wanted title.Sorry drake, kratos, etc..

This game is right up my alley in terms of what i want out of a game.
Emotions, grounded story, believable characters.

Check out the E3 trailer of it on PSN if you haven't all ready.Shows off a few new characters, some gorgeous new stages (like a mall with hundreds of people on screen) Looks great so far.And Quantic dream hasn't even started polishing the game up yet !

From the Trailer i got on PSN (Seen here) http://www.youtube.com/watc...
i think one of the other playable characters is actually the taxidermist killer from that presentation at GDC last year (seen here)

And during the trailer (E3 09 trailer)
http://www.youtube.com/watc...

it shows a very familiar women @ 43-46 seconds you might remember her from the early tech demo
http://www.youtube.com/watc...

i assume she is his wife/girlfriend (Ex wife?) in heavy rain.Her performance in the link above would tie in nicely with his character.Anyways, just my two cents.Any other theories who the other characters could be? I'm dieing to know !

PeterPanParadox6181d ago

All but the last video id´s are malformed. :( Are you talking about the tech demo girl? I saw her in the E3 trailer, too. I think you may be onto something!

HQLocated1116181d ago

Wow I just saw the trailer for this game on PSN, thanks to your comment, and my hype for this game just went from a 6/10 all the way to 11/10!! If you're not hyped for this game do what he said and GO WATCH THE TRAILER ON PSN!

Kenshinhimurasz6181d ago

Thanks TheCanadianguy420 i didn't see the gamespot interview yet and it gave a lot of information about the game. You should watch the Club demo its amazing, can't wait for this game. So many good game coming out for the PS3, Heavy Rain will be on top of my list for 2010

heroicjanitor6181d ago

It is a story you mould, and they are two distinctly different things. I can see the fun coming from panic at almost dying, but then huge relief if you escape at the final opportunity, can't wait for this game!

Kenshinhimurasz6181d ago

yeah this game is amazing, its more for the mature audience and most of the gamers on xbox are kids anyways, so i don't blame them for not getting it. Coming out early next year i can't wait >.<

-MD-6181d ago

How can you tell most gamers on PSN are adults when nobody has a mic?

red2tango6181d ago

This is going to be a sleeper hit unfortunately because of the install base and lack of advertising...too bad...still gonna be an amazing game though!

dogmeat eater6181d ago

lots of people are excited for this game.

Please stop comparing video games to movies

"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.

Yes, please stop. They're better than most hollywood drivel nowadays.

BLAKHOODe2002d ago

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.

sourOG2002d ago

No. Some games are like movies.

medman2001d ago (Edited 2001d ago )

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.
