Heavy Rain to introduce delayed trophies, solve common achievement problem

In the interest of establishing a mood and not having it ruined by a Trophy alert, the developers of 2010 PlayStation 3 game Heavy Rain have been authorized by Sony to do something new.

Heavy Rain will have Trophies. But you won't be told that you earned them until the breaks between the game's chapters.

As long as they actually unlock I'm fine with it, but if it glitches and doesn't unlock, I'd be pissed.

sikbeta6005d ago

Not a big Deal, I'll enjoy this game so much

Jsynn76005d ago

That's cool. Helps keep a movie feel.

Trebius6005d ago

Not that I care...but if i'm immersed in the game i could see the ding and trophy message kind of pulling me away for a split second...

But again...it's not really that big a deal...

Aquarius6005d ago

nothing new, Linger in Shadows does this.

I hope there is a demo, so I can see how this 'game' plays.

PrimordialSoupBase6005d ago

More than no problem, all games should do this.

Aquarius6005d ago (Edited 6005d ago )

BTW ALL trophies will have to be a secret or 4/5 of the trophies need to be kept hidden for this to even work anyway.

I wonder what the trophies will be like because the game is meant to have multiple outcomes, not at the ending but in every single action that you take, can possibly change the whole story, if you know what I mean.

Also can someone, answer me this. Is there a character select screen at the beginning or is their a default character that you have to play with from the start? I'm just thinking all trophies will be for characters.

This game reminds me of An Inspector Calls, each character in the play had something to do with the death of a woman, they were all interlinked.
Oh god, I can't wait for this game in Feburay and GOWIII.

Now that is attention to detail.

Fine by me also. In a game like this it makes sense.

raztad6005d ago (Edited 6005d ago )

Amazing!

QD really wants you to forget you are actually playing a game.

I'm pretty curious about the trophies themselves. HR seems to be quite a singular experience. Cant wait.

multipayer6005d ago

I think Heavy Rain does more than just have you forget it is a game... aAAw hell, I'm gonna say it, ENJOY GOING TO THE MOVIES ALONE! XD

raztad6005d ago (Edited 6005d ago )

Thanks man.

I'm almost sure I'm gonna enjoy that "movie". Only on the PS3. Different games for different gamers. No kids allowed.

Getting HR day one. Delaying MAG till I've done with HR.

EDIT: I forgot to tell, I wouldnt be alone. LOL. My wife is gonna be there. Cant wait.

multipayer6004d ago

Fine, it's a "movie", and if your kids ever touched the PS3 you'd beat them to death. Than your wife would leave you AND ENJOY WATCHING IT ALONE!!! XD

MAG would also make an excellent addition to Heavy Rain, MAG being completely multiplayer and this focused on singleplayer.

Blaze9296004d ago

if you're curious about Trophies watch this:

I agree with him, Trophies for this game seem like they really won't work becuase it's forcing you to do something a certain way if you want that trophy which completely goes against how Cage wants the game to be played. If I were him, I'd leave it out completely or at least make it so that none are unlockable until after the first playthrough.

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.

BLAKHOODe2017d 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.

sourOG2017d ago

No. Some games are like movies.

medman2016d ago (Edited 2016d 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.
