I've still got to go with Heavy Rain. It reminds me of a David Lynch or Alfred Hitchcock movie. I think Alan Wake is going to have a hard time being a B rated game and will most likely imo turn out like the latest Alone in the Dark or no better than Too Human or Ninja Gaiden II. |
Again really bad points, letting your bias get the better of you. Remedy made the magnificant Max Payne, ever played it?

Yeah, I've played it. I tried to play it again last month, but I don't think it has aged all that well. The console version was a B+ not an A. Edit: Actually, I just checked the original xbox version's Game Rankings' score is an 85.914. It missed being magnificient by 4.086 points.

Again, a video of gameplay was posted in the previous page. All we have of Heavy Rain is screenshots and interviews. There is actually an Alan Wake gameplay video. But you are right, right now both games are both a mystery.

Actually, there's a 24 minute gameplay video of heavy rain at game trailers. com

I get so frustrated by that demo, because the pace of gameplay is so damn slow and simple and the areas, movement and camera angles are extremely limited. I think I would get bored in 15 minutes if I got the chance to try it.
Heavy Rain is a Full-Motion-Video point n' click adventure of the mid 90's in new clothes. Gabriel Knight: The Beast Within made by Sierra was one such game, and I loved it at the time, but these kind of games feel like dinosaurs now in the age of sandbox.
These games have always been niche, and I can't imagine this one to have mass market appeal either. Yes, Sony fans will keep hyping it, and a lot of people will be impressed by the nice visuals in trailers, but I believe once it is in stores most people will hesitate to actually pay $60 for it.
