SG writes: "What's most remarkable about Heavy Rain is that it's remarkable before you've got the controller in your hands. The characters are captured to a higher level of detail than we've ever seen in a PS3 game. Every voice you hear, whether it's someone you can talk to or just someone in a passing crowd, is coming from the lips of a virtual facsimile of the voice actor."
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.
Really good to have a change of pace in gaming thank the lord for the PS3.
PS Come on Pompey to beat Sunderland 2-0
The walking controls are just plain broken, and while the story aspect and unpredictablility is interesting the Quick-Time-Event nature will get quickly annoying.
Also the damn thing crashed to a black screen with loud rain noise on the Crime Scene section, scaring the bejesus out of me. I thought it was intentional until I pressed the PS button and realised the system was hanging.
