Kombo writes: "Until now Heavy Rain has existed to me in much the same way as the Sasquatch; a mythical entity that promises to be glorious and wonderful, and which may also possess some magic properties, yet forever unseen. Oh sure, like anyone else I had seen screens and video clips of the game, but screens are easy to doctor or spruce up, and video is deceiving, you never can tell if what you're seeing is real in-game footage or merely smoke and mirrors. Rather, the only way to truly believe in a game is to put a controller in your hands and play it, and that's what I finally had a chance to do on the very last day of this year's E3 with Heavy Rain.
Our demo picked up somewhere around the middle of the game with Norman Jayden, and FBI agent and one of the title's four rotating main characters. Norman, like the others, is attempting to track down the Origami Killer and while on the trail of a stolen car his search has brought him to a junk yard. Seems like the owner may know something, but you can bet he's not going to simply cooperate with a Fed and be on his merry way..."
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.
