I don't know about that. Games have barely passed the Michael Bay mark yet and you think this game can compete with a Hitchcockian masterpiece or David Lynch mindbender? That's quite a leap sir. I too think Heavy Rain could be one of the best videogame stories ever told, but that is merely not comparable with the top movie stories. At least that's my opinion.

How have games barely passed the Michael Bay mark?

Average performances, lots of one-liners, explosions, dealing in action, etc. I'm not speaking on every game out there, but this fits most of them. Some have advanced a bit further but nowhere near the levels of masterful movie directors.

I think we can blame a lot on the story hating Western developers. One of them even told Warren Spector to never metion the word 'story'.

I'm not pointing fingers. I'm just telling it like I see it. There is nothing in gaming remotely in the same league as a good Hitchcock or Lynch film.
