Heavy Rain

This is one of those games that looks outside the box, but not sure how feel about it. Since it is heavily dominated by QTE, which I loathe.

A majority quick time event-game would be interesting. It would mean you can't just laze around, and you always have to be on the ball.

Wow, this game looks like a blast! Will keep in an eye out for this one

Gonna bump this instead of starting a new thread, but just tried out the demo and gonna have to say I liked it more than I thought.

It isn't your normal video game that much is for sure, but it just feels so right at times.

One of the key things is during crucial scenes (like the solo fight in the demo), you can't fail QTE, where most games would have you replay the section Heavy Rain simply has you continuing so like in the fight, I ended up having to defend a lot more often since would fail an occasional event, but would be back on the offensive after one or two events.

Also the whole crime investigation stuff is kind of cool, even if it pretty much is just you scanning an area and your character deciphering it all.

Where did you get the demo? I just searched for in on the PS Store and couldn't find it...

That's so adorable, thinking that you are equal to me.

No the demo isn't due to come out until next Thursday, I just got a hookup from another forum.

You're breakin' my balls, BaB, breakin' my balls.

Soooo... how hard is it to get hooked up?

Just wanted to make sure you saw this somewhere, but I sent you the information on Facebook like 2 days ago, and haven't heard back so just wanted to make sure go to you.

Played the demo, and yes, this game kept me engaged the whole way through.

It was hard to keep track of all the facts flying around though, so I'm interested in seeing how vital it will be for players to put together these pieces themselves.

Wait, this is a GAME? We watched the trailer in my AI class this summer. Thought it was just another tech demo.

Angrist · 02-08-2010, 06:01 AM

This is one of the few games that interest me on the PS3.

Yes I got it, thank you! Sorry, I usually go MIA for the most part on weekends. I haven't been able to login and get the demo yet, hopefully I didn't waste it by missing a time limit.

Is this game similar to Shenmue? I kinda get that vibe. Can anyone tell me?

Angrist · 02-09-2010, 06:33 AM

Yeah it's the same as Shenmue. Except that it's totally different.
Hope it helped.

It does, I suppose. What Shenmue did was try to mix a lot of things to create a very realistic world that helped story telling. But since there are so many elements in the mix the developers can create very different experiences in that "genre."From what I saw in the IGN video review, it's pretty much a progression of what shenmue was doing with the series.
