The scene Cage gathered journalists to witness was the first glimpse of Ethan Mars, a single father who blames himself for the death of one of his sons, Jason. In the scene, Mars picks up his other son, Shaun, from his ex-wife, and then looks after him for the evening. This involves getting him something to eat, helping him with his homework and then putting him to bed.

It's fully interactive throughout, as Cage said, with opportunities to behave like a responsible dad or to be severe or to just do nothing, really. After seeing it play out one way Cage showed a video of other possible outcomes. It was all rather poignant.

wow so i can just stand there still and do nothing as time pass, do QTEs good or fail at them - that is so not QTEsish.

lol, at that excliting gameplay - is it Wii Music clone for hd consoles or Cooking Mama for guys who don't want to admit that they like playing this game? cause from what he told so far it's even more "casualz" then Wii Music and Cooking Mama where you actually have to do something to unlock songs - Heavy Rain have no Game Over screen and no challenge so you can basically kill all your characters in their first QTE scenes and see the ending of the movie(so it's even less than interactive movie games because there you CAN fail).

What's the difference between killing all your characters and having the killer still running free and your standard gameover screen. You don't honestly need those words on a screen to tell you you fucked up and should try again do you?

no i'm talking about the fact that you will see closure to the story no matter what you do - it's kinda weird to me.
