Here is one Extra for the people who think its a Movie and not a game.
This third video you posted doesn't change anything. I've watched this several times because the grafix are good and the atmosphere is very nice. But fact is that it's an interactive movie. Yes, you can call it a game too, I don't mind. But interactive movie is the most accurate descritption in my opinion, but there's nothing wrong with that. For a budget price I would probably get this game (say, the price of two DVD movies - $30-40).
The camera is fixed and all the scenes are very static (similar to MGS4 cut-scenes). From a gameplay mechanic point of view it's just like the conversation game play in Mass Effect - you typically have three or four dialogue choices which make a particular scene branch off in different directions, but that's it. The little walking around in that grocery store, just like the movement in all the other levels in this game, is only cosmetic.
It's still obvious that you didn't watch the whole video, at the end he specifically says there are MANY different outcomes. Interactive movie or not, there's PLENTY of gameplay. It's just sad that a team doing something different can't get credited for it.
Ah well, I see no need to defend further, the game speaks for itself.
Yes, you can change details in the story line, but the game ('movie') also plays by itself no matter what you choose. Just like dialogue in Mass Effect.
Calling it a "movie' is rather insulting. Since when can I interact in a movie? I can't, therefore it's a game. You seem really against the game, this is a thread speaking highly of it.
Let's stay on topic...
Yes it's a game, but it also fullfills the definitions of an interactive movie.
You must have heard that term before, 'interactive movie'? Heavy Rain is the blueprint for an 'interactive movie'.
