I'm really digging this soundtrack so far. Only listened to it a couple times but very good quality and emotional content.
Man, that article was hysterical. I think you guys are taking it too seriously. Lighten up!
Wow, thank you for that awesome post! You bring up some very good points.
Shadow of the Colossus is a prime example of great game design. Through minimal storytelling and guided direction the player forms there own connection to those in the game. I remember when I lost Agro. It was shocking to me how much of a connection I had to the horse, I had no idea.
Yes, Heavy Rain develops the characters more allowing you to be more involved in their stories and actions. How...
Thank you so very much for your well thought out reply. You know what your are talking about and I, for one, greatly appreciate that.
Read the article.
"So again, some say HR fails as a game and others say it fails as a movie. That's because critics constantly compare it to one or the other, or both instead of reviewing if for what it is, an entertainment experience."
I would have to agree with that statement. So it seems we have entertainment in Heavy Rain that is neither a game nor a film but rather defining its own genre.
You bring up some very valuable points concerning entertainment and the experience of the game.
However, I don't think throwing out the article based on a Destructiod story is worthwhile. It was not the Heavy Rain review but rather an article titled "Why Heavy Rain proves Ebert right." Sure I don't respect them very much but the article linked to is actually quite well put and succeeds despite the blog that hosts it.
I guess the divisive comment made in the article is bearing itself out :)
Sounds like the problem might be one of the audio implementers if its repeated too much. Everyone is bound to have up and down's but I think overall Schyman is a pretty stellar composer.
Very. I've had lots of fun listening to the soundtrack.
