I played through a bit of this at C.E.S. and it was intriguing, but it's certainly not a "game" the way we often think of them. People who didn't know what it is were looking quick and then moving on to the more visceral God of War/MAG/GT5 demos. It's initially frustrating to fool with hands-on, but as I watched another couple demos after my own hands-on, I could see the possibilities. I, as a an avid reader and movie buff, am ready to sink a good deal of time into the game, but I think it will have difficulty grabbing a market.
I will say that screenshots look slightly better than it did in motion - it was a bit clunkier and creepier in action than it appears as a still - that whole uncanny valley thing applies here a bit.
I'm looking forward to the experience, although in some ways I feel like it gets so close to the whole idea of interactive cinema versus a game that I sometimes wonder if a more controlled cinema experience wouldn't be better in some ways.
It's going to take some training of expectations on our part as consumers of this type of "game" or experience to appreciate it. It's downright difficult to sit with a controller in your hands and not want to control things a bit more sometimes.
I'd imagine we'll see a solidly reviewed game - a metacritic in the high 80's - but software that is going to struggle saleswise a bit. I'll be interested in seeing what kind of numbers it puts up. |
How to put a negetive spin on something and not look like a fanboy, come out of the closet brother, TESTIFY!!!

While you hardly deserve a response, I will bite because I am bored.
I am sorry I tried to give you a thoughtful, honest reaction to the demo I played. Next time I will only post the positive attributes in the Sony forum and the negatives in the other places, just so your little tired eyes won't be damaged.

Come off it, You have one console and I have only Sony consoles, but I don't deny I am biasd, now I can respect your personal preference, but what you have written kind of tells me that you never really gave the game a chance, it's not even out yet.
I had no real interest in Halo 3, however I did at least wait until I had played the game before making any judgements, from what you say I get a vibe that since it is on PS3 you are somewhat uninterested, I would have though that as a self proclaimed "Movie Buff" you might have been rather more excited about Heavy Rain, I myself am a student of film and have been giggling like a school girl whenever they release a new trailer.
I don't hold any bad blood against you, I just think that you could miss out on what I am positive will be a game that pushes the outer limits of gaming as we know it!

Yes. I only have one console. *rolls eyes*
I have created a whole history of posts for the last twenty-two months on this site, pretending to own multiple consoles (all three at one point) just so I could diss Heavy Rain. It's an evil conspiacy to take down this one title. I'm so freaking Dr. Evil.
I actually went through a guided hands-on with the game. I'm sorry that left me with an opinion. I will never again let my personal experiecnes cloud my opinion on software. How silly of me.
