PlayStation Unlimited Writes: In my opinion, Heavy Rain did everything it set out to do to an impressive degree, and yet waves of online reviewers complain as though they’d been grossly misled by trailers of Ethan Mars capping bad guys like he was John McClane. Heavy Rain is, and always was, referred to as an interactive movie game. And not a Michael Bay movie, but a mystery drama. So yes, there is a lot of dialogue. Yes, the controls are only slightly different from the maligned quick time events. No, there aren’t millions of explosions. Despite being an extremely accessible game (as in, my grandmother could play it), Heavy Rain is not for everybody. But regardless of whether or not you liked it, it’s impossible to deny that it is different from any other game out right now, and it brings some valuable concepts to the table that future games can stand to emulate.
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.
it dosent matter if your a fat italian guy who has breating problems, you can kick a bald bikers a$$.
in all seriousness games can learn to innovate, to make a product that not only taps into the realm of great a storyline, but an emotional ride as well.
they can learn that changing babies diapers and mundane crap like feeding the kids is something people get enough of in real life and it's better to skip it in your game.
