well done on the child's part, but if this isn't a beacon of light in the direction of leaving the retailers and developers alone and getting on the parents for letting or not caring if their kids play these games...
Your last sentence is essentcially what the game is. The story, and the system of telling it, is fairly elastic, hence the "rubber-band" phrase being thrown around. The overall story will, I think, always be the same, but the individual events and parts can go any of many different ways. And with all of the QTEs, it's not "miss and start over." It's "miss, and now the action moves in this direction." It can branch any number of ways.
I love Burn Notice; already own season one and this week's break is killing me for season 2. Sadly, they're distributing in SD. If I'm going to buy any video that's available in the HD medium, I'm not going to downgrade for a DL purchase :( come on Sony.
Orakga, "With the full game, you’ll get to experience the full Asakusa stage from the demo, plus a bunch of other exciting cities from around the world, with 15 stages in all. Of course there’s London and Los Angeles, which we originally mentioned. And in the latest trailer above you can see cities like Washington, D.C., Sydney, Berlin, and Chinatown in Yokohama, Japan. There are lots of other great cities waiting to be saved by you in the full game, plus a bunch of different kinds of zo...
Can't agree; the industry needs Monkey Island back again. Think of all of these poor kids who have no idea what it means to play a game that's supposed to be FUNNY.
Then again, given all the knee-jerking being thrown around at Heavy Rain's gameplay, maybe the populace can't handle a game not focused on racing, shooting, or jumping :(
Here you go. Would be cool if they actually reach this level of accessability and interactivity...the EyePet is already matching one of the clips shown.

For those that haven't played Indigo Prophecy, or don't want to follow Fishy's link,
"Then, the player was in control -- with little indication one could actually begin guiding Madison around freely. The first thing I noticed was the incredible camera system, which changed on occasion to different, highly dramatic angles from a number of atypical locations, like from the house down the street. Cage explained that the first innovation we would see was the way one makes Mad...
I don't doubt they'll pay attention to detail like that. In Indigo Prophecy, instead of button presses, you had to use both analog sticks, or the arrows and ASDW on the keyboard. When you pressed up, down, left, or right when prompted, the direction of the action typically correlated to the direction you were pressing (for example, ducking, jumping, dodging left, dodging right, etc.).
GameCrazy's affiliated with Hollywood Video, right? I think we have one of those around here somewhere.
Actually, he's basing this OFF of IGN and 1ups impressions. "My impression of Matt Leone’s impression"... right there, any validity is thrown out the window. He's seen the exact same info that we have, and personal preference to QTEs seem to be the basis of his argument. In Indigo Prophecy, they were indeed a bit harder, as you had to input two commands eac time, instead of just a single button press. But you spend MOST of the game doing other stuff; it's not like you run around...
Cage is holding tight to the story; he doesn't want to reveal much. They've already said a while ago that it circles around a father trying to find or protect his son somehow. That's about it.
I see some friendly fire going on there. Sticking with the "every bullet counts" motif, I see.
Aww, why'd you have to bring that up :( I'd completely forgotten how much I had been looking forward to that game way-back-when.
Just pause it and let it buffer, I guess. I've waited this long, a few more minutes to not have stuttering isn't asking too much. We have nothing but time...
-_-
LOAD! LOAD! LOAD DANGIT!
Since microsoft apparantly paid for console exclusivity of this feature (and why Netflix would agree to that is beyond me), this is the only way that I'm aware of for a ps3 user to use Watch It Now through their tv without buying a setup box to do it. Why you would begrudge users enjoyment in this opportunity is beyond me. No, it's likely not as integrated as 360's will be (and in fact not existent as of yet), but if it does allow me to view my queue and the Watch it Now selection (and judg...
I'm getting that for some content; not all. For example, Dresden Files is working fine for me.
Downloading the beta now; hopefully the Netflix support comes before the 60 days is up. Usin my View it Now through my pc is something I've been longing for for a while now, and I was highly disheartened to hear MS announcing exclusivity to consoles. the 30 is well worth it in my eyes; much cheaper still than the set-top box option.
I absolutely loved Escape from Monkey Island, and wish every year that Lucas Arts would get off their silly little Star Wars kick and bring back Guybrush Threepwood. The only comedic style games I can think of within the past year or two would be Hail to the Chimp (which did have some parts of the demo making me laugh) and whatever Leisure Suit Larry title came out. Sony had a game in the works that I was looking forward to - Rat Race - but it's been cancelled, I believe.
finally showing off some Heavy Rain = a successful conference, in my eys. I do wish we were seeing something of one of Team Ico's two projects, but then again it would make sense for them to reveal it at TGS. there is the chance of it being a surprise during their press conference though, so here's hoping. Other than the major Sony staples, I'm also looking forward to Mirror's Edge and Alpha Protocol.
And did anyone see that listing for Beyond Good and Evil 2? There have ...
if jeopardy has online play, I'm so getting it. I'm one of the few weird ones that kind of envied the 360's Primetime feature; I loves me some game shows.
