NO THANK YOU Quantic Dream FOR MAKING A GREAT GAME.

Hank Hill5886d ago

Agreed. The pleasure was all mine. We should be thanking you Quantic Dream for making a great game without yet another floating gun on the screen.

nix5886d ago

thanks a million, QD! q:

Baba19065886d ago

defenitly and please make more games that make me cry, celebrate, hate, love, scare myself and happy as heavy rain did.
i cant wait to see more games like this in the future.

fedex6825886d ago

Thanks a lot QD.

Oh and who else thinks the Heavy Rain theme is mesmerizing?

Red_Orange_Juice5886d ago

thank you QD for one of the most unique games I've played

thereapersson5886d ago (Edited 5886d ago )

Let's just thank all the PS3 owners who proved the doubters and fanboys wrong by actually purchasing this game, coincidentally proving the haters wrong who say that "PS3 owners don't purchase games".

Who are you going to side with? Some dumbass on N4G saying that developers could always use more sales, or the developer themselves saying that they are happy with the critical and retail reception that the game has received?

I'd side with the latter, seeing as how I still have some common sense about me...

edit:

Yep, as expected, some stealth-disagreeing 360 fanboy living in their own little fantasy world where sales are everything has decided it a proper activity to disagree with me. Keep it up!

Exactly, a game doesn't have to sell 5 million copies to be successful. As long as it makes its money back and makes sales goals, then it is a success. Not to make the "video games and movies" comparison, but both industries need the big blockbusters AND the smaller, more experimental stuff. "Heavy Rain" is like the "Slumdog Millionaire" of video games (except larger budget). It wasn't expected to be big, but was very good and saw success because of that.

beardtm5886d ago

Have they fixed the controls yet? I played the demo but the controls for movement were all over the place. Put me off buying it. Is there more than one control scheme?

rockleex5886d ago

PS Move into the game.

Would definitely make the controls even more intuitive.

I forgot how good the graphics were.....

Thoroughly enjoyed this game!

abmac7135886d ago

Congratulations with your success QD! I hope they never put a stop to what they do. Their games re-imagine the way narratives are told in videogames. I look forward to supporting their next project.

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.

BLAKHOODe2019d 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.

sourOG2019d ago

No. Some games are like movies.

medman2018d ago (Edited 2018d 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.
