Ah, another "praise/kill the review site depending on score" thread. This time it's pitchfork time.

Of all the many hypes we already saw this gen on all consoles, the one which emerged around Heavy Rain during the last few weeks feels like the strangest and most faked one to me. Quick time hype, so to speak.

emporers new clothes...?

I'm getting Heavy Rain and will play it through... but I think there is a strange elite attitude surrounding the game

It is almost as though it is impossible to criticise the game because Heavy Rain is somehow arty and high brow and that means it shouldnt be criticised because the developers have been brave.

Have played around 6 hours since yesterday, for any imature or unrational person this game will not be good. Maybe thats why you get the elite feeling, a young or immature person will obviously not like this game. Its slow, its intelligent, its make you think, its definitly not like our usual blockbuster game. The fact you dont like the game doesnt mean your immature tho, because you may not like the gameplay, story or anything else.
