..."It only does everything!" tag line for the PS3. Easy to remember and repeat and gets to the heart of what fans of the system have been saying for some time.

That being said I'll wait till I get my hands on the game and decide for myself :) I won't start putting money down on this game till after X-mas. Still very excited about HR.

I seem to remember some fool on this site saying that Heavy Rain looked like a ps2 game

.....Oh dear
.....Oh dear

Was he drooling and wearing a helmet.

PS3 is really making clear what you can achieve with the HW, you have Uncharted 2, GT5, Heavy Rain and God of War 3 fighting for the 1st place regarding graphics...don't forget Killzone 2

And expect similar quality from The Last Guardian, FFXIII VS and AGENT.

All of them DIFFERENT engines with similar awesome results, Kutaragi wasn't kidding when he was hyping the cell and the HW in general. Genius!

Syronicus6115d ago

I remember that guy... He was the one wearing a tinfoil hat and a shirt with the quote "I can't let you do that Dave" on it.

Shadow Flare6115d ago

Yeah i don't think i've seen him on the site for the past 2 days. Or any of the usual 360 suspects for that matter. Can't for the life of me think why lol. Butthurt maybe?

Heavy Rain is one of my most anticipated game, despite being such a niche title. Graphically the characters look amazing, very realistic, you could squint and think they would look real. But the environments are not so good graphically, if you look at the gameplay with the guy in the store, the store just isn't up to par and the models of the items are fairly simple.

Seems like they spent a lot of time on the characters and not so much on the environments, although they still look decent. But the overall package still looks amazing.

NeoBasch6115d ago

Uncharted 2 and Heavy Rain are indeed the benchmarks for both animation and visual fidelity. Incredibly realistic. I'd say U2 beats it by a hair, just because Naughty Dog seems to have packed in a lot of detail in the environments, whereas Quantic Dream established the style but lacks that same minuscule background detail. What I'd love to see is ND and QD hammer out an engine together. Can't imagine what kind of sick love child that would produce.

Most unsure title... prehaps.

rockleex6115d ago

If you don't like the old school point and click adventure type of games, then Heavy Rain will probably not be the right game for you.

Although Heavy Rain is not a point and click game, it brings the genre into a 3D interactive environment.

Maikrobi6115d ago

I hope it will be great, it looks awesome

Aquarius6115d ago (Edited 6115d ago )

do I really need to click on that article ;-)

looking at her eyes gives it away easily.

@below I heard Crysis' gameplay is boring :(

Jamescagney6115d ago

Hearing things is one thing, how about you actually play it and make your own opinion then?

Pizzagaki6115d ago

One word, Crysis.
Nuff said.

The Wood6115d ago

Simon_Brezhnev6115d ago

One word:

RealLife!

but no one cares about that-

ZBlacktt6115d ago

Does a great PC cost $299? With the same power and potential and features of a PS3?

divideby06115d ago

Funny, the title reads "Heavy Rain Has The Most Impressive Graphics Ever, Maybe", not "Heavy Rain Has The Most Impressive Graphics Ever On Console, Maybe." He never once qualified his argument to consoles ONLY. If you make ignorant and wild claims, you should be prepared for people who are going to counter-act them, the author shouldn't depend on people like you to go re-interpreting his words/putting words in his mouth and defending his article for him.

And since when does opinion=fact? If you ask me, Uncharted 2 puts this game to shame and it has a whole lot more going on. Even the in-game/fully playable sequences, which feature far more random variables, seem to out-pace this game graphically. In every way. Seems PS3 fans around here these days love to get together for an old circle jerk anytime some unknown blogger comes along citing his wildly ill-informed and wholly termperamental opinion as fact, tag-teaming anyone who tries to bring things back to reality. I love my PS3, but this stuff makes the lot of us look like ignorant simpletons with the chromosome count of an amoeba.

The Wood6115d ago (Edited 6115d ago )

read between the lines. Its obvious its a stealth troll comment. Its obvious when ANY of us compare graphics on console we ignore the PC. Dont act like you dont see or know this. Point is if HE had said Uncharted like you just did then nobody would complain. Personally i agree that U2 is the best looking game and very strong from a tech standpoint. Whats wrong with being happy over graphic news anyway....sure beats reading 'teh p es 3 is teh dooomdz' articles ALSO made by bloggers dont you think. I mean whats worse : circle jerking over graphics and games or over 'sellz' you tell me

Pizzagaki6115d ago

No, LightofDarkness is right.
The headline is flawed and ridiculous, not to mention insulting.

Hence my response.
And dont worry, i am still funny, i am like Krusty, i am funny when i perform.

bunbun7776115d ago (Edited 6115d ago )

he's back....

ahhhyaa!

oh and LoD...i checked my fanboyism at the door this time, is it okay for me to come play with the big kids now?.....(over pretentious deuche!)

Aquarius6115d ago

I never said it was lol

no because I can't :[

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.

BLAKHOODe2029d 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.

sourOG2029d ago

No. Some games are like movies.

medman2029d ago (Edited 2029d 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.
