and too the people here saying its "needles" , that's far from the truth.. these actions are exteremely important! and for the record ive played mass effect 2 and that has nothing on heavy rain.. it dosn;t go the step further with design.. it limits its self to the old "gun down enemies" design.
people have to know alot of "gamers" are very single minded to what experience they expect and would rather shoot a couple zombies than have a meaninfull experience.. In heavy rain taking a piss, cleaning my teeth or playing with the kids was far more enjoyable than most games I play.. these actions do have meaning and feel and are important. my favourite scene in heavy rain is probably the first part of the game actually, so many options and the house and garden so well designed.
Hideo kojima has fallen back in terms of pushing the industry now. he's chained to the mgs series making sequal after sequal. 4 was ment to be the last one !!!, please move on with your work mr kojima and make a new fresh franchise!! he used to be the best, but now designers like david cage and fumito ueda are way ahead of him.
Gamers just don't understand traditional game play doesn't need to exist. I like uncharted but are the shooting galleries in it really needed? Heavy rain gets rid of the biggest flaw in videogaming "traditional gameplay" every game should have it's own set of rules.
I only play killzone 3 with the move controller I'm normally top in guerilla warfare, me and work colegues all agree move is a superior control method for KZ3, the dualshock is handicap in this case.
The stacking review was awsome man, I love that game.
this was a great show!
I think peter M would get alot more freedom for his ideas if he was working for sony.. They take far more risks than microsoft.. I mean Milo ideas would be a possibility if he developed with sony on the ps3. Much like how David cage was given the opotunity to make heavy rain.
Woa and nice comment FrankMcSpank totally agree with everything you said.
I didn't read all of the article.. but what a load of rubbish..
I read books and seen tons of movies and heavy rain stood out as the deepest most involving videogame I think I've ever played.. It deserves no.1 on the lists I think.. Videogames have a massive flaw.. the repeative gameplay mechanices.. Shoot, run, healthbars etc.. Heavy rain proofs games are far more emotional and powerfull when you get rid of these mechanics and design gameplay that pushes the story forward. Q...
LBP2 will be sick!!
Jim is a reviewer who dosn't like change in the video games industry. I noticed he said he hated heavy rain aswell cause it tried to evolve video gaming abit.. LBP2 is another game that will shake the industry and hopefully make it more creative.. so don't take the review to seriously. having said that Jim sterling is quite a funny guy and I do enjoy certain posts from him. but our idea of a good game and his idea (halo, some generic shooter?) is alot different.
- faster loading times.. I and most people hate long loading times it isolates players. I bloody hate re-downloading the spaces takes way to long normaly leave by the time there done.
- make home gaming orientated.. All the spaces ive gone to have had cheap games.. Played EA golf for a second and thought it was rubbish.
Only succussfull space ive seen so far in home is the red bull space because the game and scenery was so good for home. I noticed people in my freinds list were ...
I watched E3 and this was the most impressive thing there.. it looks incredible ... watch the footage and then comment .. the crowd was amazed with it .. I was drueling really amazing technology in it.
he really is getting known in gaming
Aha hip hop gamer is on the playstation blog scene again, niceone dude.
"There was never "a man living inside a persons arm", it was just a feign to fool the Patriots after Big Boss was captured to confuse it. Ocelot way back in MGS3... nvm... f*ck it... there's no point in explaining it to you."
.. Sounds like you actually proved my point.. I think a keyword to describe a mgs games is "confusing" .. listen to your own sentence there, it sounds like a hell of a confusing story behind that arm..
lol Im a...
Im a metal gear fan... but mannn... Metal gear solid 4 is a great game but the story was not that great.. too Confusing and jumbled up.. Its a fact that heavy rain will have a more mature and deeper storyline involving sex, violence and mental pain etc(1 character has a drug addiction etc) Dont be an idiot and say a game which has a man living inside a persons arm will be deeper than heavy rain.
Zatrox.. they are important.. So you would rather just cut to the chase and go to the action im guessing? their are people in the world who like storys and hate action. gamers need to know this.
