Heavy Rain Could Be Coming Home

Genre defying murder mystery Heavy Rain is set to bring an unprecedented level of interactive storytelling to the PlayStation 3, immersing gamers in an enthralling plot that follows several characters on the trail of the Origami Killer. Sony and Quantic Dream have shown themselves to be committed to the game, promising a demo for the title as well as post-launch downloadable content, and now, possibly even a PlayStation Home space.

tying something like Xi into a game like this? That would make for an awesome gaming experience and would probably sell more copies on release.

DoucheVader5987d ago

That is a fabulous idea. They may even be able to use some of the in game assets.

doctorstrange5987d ago

I doubt it'll happen, but that would be awesome

BX815987d ago

What is Xi? I'm looking forward to this game.

Redempteur5987d ago (Edited 5987d ago )

Xi was an interractive mistery game based on home with clues spammed on the real world and in Home.
Each day home user of the xi space would get a new clue ( puzzle , hint , video to watch , website to finc clues within )to solve xi or a mini game to play ( not counting week-ends ).

it lasted over 3 month and it was fun ..
Many theories started on what xi was seeing that ( in the setting of the game ) several people claimed that xi was their property and asked for your help ( you had to choose sides )

Xi became way too big for what the creators had intended to do ..another proof that mature content is welcome for playstation users and that home users are more numerous than the average people think...

Anyway the story reached an end and most of the spaces were closed except the first 2 areas where you can use the mini-games to this day ...
( the foroms of xi in the playstation foroms are still open , and you can check the kind of debates we had at the time ).

Another adventure like Xi would be awesome IMO

It would be cool, if you could use clues from the game, and go into the Heavy Rain space to solve things. Like having the police station you could go to to solve things, gather clues.

I wonder what kind of mini-game the HOME space would have too.

Home could use some cool mature content.

decimalator5987d ago

Home *IS* mature content.

But I agree, Home could use an interactive pr0n space. Now THAT'S why they brought Dualshock back baby!

T3mpr1x5987d ago (Edited 5987d ago )

Yeah something better than some furry costume please!

doctorstrange5987d ago

It'll be nice to have some heavier content on Home

decimalator5987d ago

Including a crotchety old SAS captain named Price, change the title to Call of Duty: The Origami Killer and call it good?

nogolis5987d ago

Oh, boy... More boring space taking up bandwidth in Home. I'm sure it'll be loaded with exciting content, like every Home space offers up too. Can't wait!!!

doctorstrange5987d ago

And Home is self sustainable meaning that Sony aren't diverting resources away from other stuff.

Lifewish5987d ago

home is really not that bad and as doctor said, you don't have to install it

karan86245987d ago

I dont like home. Theres nothing to do, if I want to chat with friends there the XMB chat. And if you dont go on for a month its like a 10 minute download update.

The worst part is you can use your avatar for you PSN profile

I'm sorry but ALL Sony PS3 exclusive games should have a Home space. Period. If barely any 3rd-party copies are going to support it besides premium costumes..then Sony needs to take charge, dammit!

Anyway, I hope this is true. They need to pimp this game out starting...NOW!

doctorstrange5987d ago

At least with most major exclusive games, although I don't want shoddy Home spaces cause they end up stretching themselves too thin.

Redempteur5987d ago (Edited 5987d ago )

uncharted 2 , sodium , ea sports , infamous are examples of good home space ... not only it promote your games but it make people come back for more.

Some space did it well ..content that make you come back for more ...because as a publisher the more people that stay in your space , the better.

BUt others just didn't do enough

it's too late but i wouldn't have said no to some wipeout hd space

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.

BLAKHOODe2023d 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.

sourOG2023d ago

No. Some games are like movies.

medman2023d ago (Edited 2023d 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.
