really? i countless times ran into someone "meh if i wanna buy a ps3 to play MGS4/HR i'd go watch a movie" |
But I did just buy a PS3 and Heavy Rain. Quite frankly I don't see a problem describing Heavy Rain as an interactive movie. Its a masterpiece and I'm only a few hours into it. Its meant to seem like a movie/book where you are taking the role of the characters, only this time you get to control their actions. Its beautiful and it really does have a way of affecting you like no other game has. I was one of this games biggest sceptics, ask anyone, and here I am enjoying it. So to me I don't see how calling Heavy Rain a movie is a negative when it gives you such an experience that you won't find anywhere else. Mass Effect and MGS4 are less of a movie because you control the character quite a bit outside of cutscenes. Heavy rain maintains a story driven "movie" feel even when you have control of the characters outside of cutscenes.
