Heavy Rain isn't worth anything as far as innovation. If an earthquake happens and CNN doesn't cover it, the earthquake didn't happen. To be frank I played a few similar games way back when CDs came into vogue so really its just an evolution on those choose your own story movie games. What innovation exactly is there? A different spin on the same genres? A WRPG / FPS / Sports game? Or a JRPG / Exercise / Quiz show?

Innovation is just a word for people to slap onto tired game concepts in order to make them look new and fresh. The key point is that the Wiimote was innovative when it was released. No console maker had dared made a console with such an interface as the standard interface and its innovation that worked. Innovation which isn't copied isn't worth much as innovation which is. The fact that 100% of the industry is now following proves its real innovation and not some snarky gimmick.

Bottom line is we need games like Wii Fit to expand gaming, we don't need and have never needed little niche games which do nothing overall. If Heavy rain was wiped from history it wouldn't make much difference, but without games like Wii Fit, Mario Kart and Wii Sports gaming would be a very different picture.

allright now you crossed the line, Heavy Rain is innovative, whether you like it or not, and most reviewer's and people who have played on the demo have already confirmed this fact, you are in denial, and need to go play on your Wii if you love it so much??

also most people don't play on Wii-Fit for more than 30mins at a time yet people still buy it, guess that is one of your argument's out of the window...

Its just the same old 'gimmicky' motion controls which everyones railed the Wii on for the past 3 years + a choose your own adventure movie/game story line plucked from the mid 90s. So whether or not they implement them well is irrelevant as reviewers have short memories and limited perspectives. I have played the game demo and I am buying the game, but it doesn't stop me from calling it as I see it.

 

youve summed up the wii perfectly, thats the reason its so successful, it has games that are just casual 30mins put away.

but i think your wrong, core games can have motion controls we will see plenty of them at e3 on arc and natal.

 

Core games where you get tired from using the remote control? The Wii does it better due to the fact the camera is in the controller so small movements can replace big sweeping motions if you're using the pointer.

if your such a nintendo supporter, and you keep coming in sony forums, how come the game quality on wii is lower than ps3.

sorry but your just spewing bullshit as usual, if arc is shit because of one2one then wimoteplus must also be shit, not to mention hardly any games out for it.........

I also own a PS3 and Xbox 360 and gaming PC. You don't get it, the pointer is not 1:1 on the Wii which makes it better than the 1:1 pointer action on the Arc.
