I was just thinking that yesterday. Heavy Rain would fit well with motion controls. I'd never use it cause I prefer a regular controller but it would work well for those who want it.

Rofl I like this spin.

motion fails untill it goes to a ps3 game. XD rofl you poor droids.

*edit*

I do get it, only the ps3 can have good motion controls T_T...as soon as any other game is mention with them, every ps3 owner bashes it, and then some. but as soon as a ps3 game mention it its GOD..

so tell me how in the world could this game pull it off and it not be cheap and cheesy.

move your wand to the left to dodge this, pull back on the wand to lift this box so on and so on, no different from the Wii mini games. just with a darker picture and story instead of being a direct minigame.

be carefull here, you are walking into hypocrit territory.

the QTE take more of a backseat with the delay the game has gotten, I'd like to see the game more controlable. I was turned off by how much of it there was, like the game relied so heavily on it.

or in the tense scenes always change up the QTE button sequences to make it more tense (not being able to memorize the same pattern, would make it scary as hell over and over again). But the game just keeps flowing story wise right? and it just plays off of what happens with no retrys?

I'd like to see the gameplay get more revamped with how long this title has been being worked on, I feel it needs it. I don't want the same gameplay we've been seeing (personally), I mean that on a controls side of things also. But regardless Im looking forward to buying this!

It's really quite natural to use an "interactive" peripheral to play with this game. I can see this working really quite well.

Can everyone be honest with themselves and just admit motion controls suck ass?

Motion control could be sweet I guess. This game just looks like a big series of quick time events, so something else would be welcomed. With that said even if it is just quick time events I'm getting this game day one. It looks to involving and to sweet to pass up.

*Sigh* Heavy Rain's gameplay is based mainly around CONTEXT SENSITIVE CONTROLS, not QTE's. Why does no one seem to know the difference between the two?

Well he's changed his tune, personally I dont see it happening unless he's pushed into it, speaking to Kikizo a while ago he said this regarding motion control:

"I'm not sure all people want to play jumping and running in front of the television, because I think some people just want to relax and just play, enjoy and experience."

"But this is definitely not the direction I would like this industry to go, because I think it should go in the direction of movies - more creativity, more new ideas, more authors - rather than going in the direction of toys."

Okay, fine. Here's how you tell one from the other.

QTE = Interactive cutscene. You're required to hit a bunch of timed button prompts as they appear on screen. You fail if you hit the wrong button, or if your timing is off. And you have no direct control over the character during this time.

Context Sensitive Controls = Actions that a videogame character can only perform during certain situations. Examples : Climbing a ladder. Opening a door. Pulling a lever.
Obviously you can only do these things if you are standing next to a ladder/door/lever.

In other games each button on the controller has a specific purpose, but in Heavy Rain it varies depending on the situation. Hence the on screen prompts.

And btw, I'm no geek. It's actually a videogame that taught me what Context Sensitive means.(anyone else remember the tutorial on Conker's Bad Fur Day?) Who says they're not educational.

cant handle heavy rain.. for gods sake's it was overheating on mass defect 2 demo

i was hoping Sony would have cleared up the 3d tech before this release also; 3d and motion control would have been great.
