A mate of mine whose still stuck in last gen was telling me how amazing Indigo Prophecy was so I showed him the trailer for Heavy Rain and he couldn't stop yapping about how much he'd love to play it.
Apparently it's very much like Indigo Prophecy with very similar scenes and locations.
Yeah the hacking mini games are pretty cool. An improvement over the previous which wasn't bad in any way.
If only I still had my save game file.
The failure is in the devs not utilising it properly. Sixaxis has proven to be good when devs take time to use it properly and that's if they decide to use it at all.
KZ2, Folklore, Heavenly Sword and Ratchet & Clank use it very well and make it fun. It's pretty obvious that third party devs are the ones that aren't interested in it as it's only on the PS3 and may feel that the extra effort for about half their audience isn't worth it. If it was on 360 too we'd see more games...
Good
You can have hundreds of people in the same area in World of Warcraft. Think of all the people that were hanging around in the starting zones of Outland and Northrend when the expansions were released.
people still believe the ps3 audience is "more" mature.
Considering they made us wait I would expect nothing less as DLC for PC games is usually free anyway. I was going to pick this up for PS3 last week but decided I'd wait since I still have other games to play and now I have Mass Effect 2 as well.
This game is great. A mate of mine has this on his PSP Go and I played it a bit. It's perfect for something to play when you're on a bus or a train.
I think this kind of game needs to encourage players to play their team roles. People like going Rambo in BF2 too but it's so much more fun to play your role in a squad.
I think that for some players this game will be an absolute blast while other will think it's trash.
I haven't played the beta for this so haven't a clue what it's like. If it's anything like BF2 it should be fun but people really need to work together. Chatting to one another is the best way to do that but a team can work very well even without chat as long as everyone plays their role.
I thought this was about the PC version when I read the title and thought that's pretty standard these days.
It's good that it helps improve performance but only if you've got the space for it.
Expensive gaming PC not required for this game. It runs better at 720p than the previous game (on my 3 year old 7900 GS) while still looking better.
If you have anything like the following set up it'll run great without the AA:
3GHz Intel Dual Core
2GB DDR2 RAM
7900 GS
Even with a low spec it looks near enough identical to the 360 version.
This is such a great game and Bioware have clearly improved on the back end as it runs better than the previous game even with the slight visual upgrade.
The best thing is that you don't need an expensive GPU to play it. Runs fine on my 7900 GS at 720p without the AA and Shadows while still looking great.
If there's a movie I'd much rather they don't try and re-do what's already in the game. A different mission would be a better idea IMO.
The PC version runs pretty flawlessly and actually runs better on my PC (with my old 7900 GS) than the first game even with the slight visual upgrade.
You're right. I agree with that.
Yeah Bethesda and Bioware are pretty comparable.
I'd love for both of them to step up their game to the level of Blizzard's fanatical obsession with creating perfect games. Then we'd have more games that people would play for a decade and not get bored.
Yeah I think the latency is Natal's biggest issue.
If turns out to be pretty good I'll probably buy a Natal bundle when there are a few decent games that utilise it properly.
