FFXIII represents the 0.01% of games that still rely heavily in FMV to show their cinematics. So no, Blu Ray isn't needed.

I don't know if what he says is true or not, but the guy got banned for lying or not proving he owns the game:

Tell that to all Heavy Rain owners who has just lost their trophies and bought the game months in advance just NOT to be able to play it.

Most wanted games...

For Slim owners.

This is the biggest console BLACKOUT in the videogame industry. You can't use it either online or offline, all at the same time.

This has no precedent. Sorry. At least RROD was gradual.

MEGA Ouch!

Heavy Rain release. Sony fails on their weakness: Software.

It's not even a problem of the PSN but the firmware (dashboard) itself.

This has no precedent. 8001050f has just joined RROD in the hall of the most infamous console errors of all time.

Ouch, ouch, and ouch.

This day is already infamous. Microsoft's screwed up on their weakness, Hardware. Sony did the same in their weakness: Software.

I happens, that the software that they screwed up is the one that handles the whole hardware. Ouch!

And in other news, Mass Effect 2 sold 2 million in week one.

There must be a reason why 360 exclusives tend to sell massively more.

Please don't compare true Triple A's above 96% in meta with 88% ones. Mass Effect 2 didn't fail anything this guy said, it just had a different approach in which it succeeded in a way Heavy Rain wasn't even close.

And this is why their exclusive don't sell nearly as good as Xbox 360's.

Marketing is important, know it.

I've been watching impressive screenies since 2005 and played a totally UNimpressive demo in 2010.

I'll be impressed when they live up to their promises... and heck they better do after 6 years.

Ok I'll post this again more politely.

The screens do look good, clean and crisp with awesome character detail however:

1. They look way too cartooney this time around.
2. Self and normal shadowing and lighting overall looks weird. Looks pre-baked in some instances and object and characters seem to lack a lot of self shadows.
3. No particle effects at sight.

Psboys just can't take a Non PsBoy comment. Anyways, I prefer the fanboys to ignore me instead of receiving idiotic replies like some above.

Check those pics out. Sure they look clean and crisp but they also look kind of plain. There's no post processing or particle effects at all. Surfaces are polished but don't feel organic like, for example, Dante's Inferno (not saying Dante looks better because it doesn't) but I guess you get the point. Lighting also looks weird, it's obvio...

Ok ok... there images do look good but are not OMG-Jaw-Drop worth.

I'm sure there are instances where the game will look better but these definitely aren't impressive. I've seen better looking games this year.

Now watch Sony boys trying to hype the game to death... and failing.

I don't know guys but that pink dildo seems to be dead in the water. Launch is months ago and people only talk about it to compare it with Natal.

I wonder why is at 88% @ metacritic then =)

Ok so they said. Hey the Xbox 360 had Mass Effect 2 and a kick ass lineup for 2010. We MUST score and hype this game as much as possible.

The result, a perfect score from a bunch of fanboy's website.

By the way, OPM (A Magazine that can't be THIS fanboyish, for credibility reasons) had it scored @90% so NO, it is NOT the best game ever made.

Set to dominate.... March :o
1 whole Month!

Gone are the days when Sony boys talked about the whole year =)

Heavy Rain is more of an answer to Alan Wake since the Xbox title has been in development longer.

Unfortunately, Heavy Rain didn't reach Triple A status and I suspect, judging by recent gameplay and the amount of polish, that Alan Wake will.
