I think you pay too much attention to the trivial things from certain userbases (evident from some of the threads you create). Why does it matter what people hype up? Let them hype it to be whatever they want, it's not like you have to buy it/pay attention to it/care about it.

I wasn't paying attention until I saw this thread here, and saw how the freaking out began.  I likely wouldn't of given it much notice, then I posted my original message, which you commented on.  X to Jason is straight out of Deadly Premonition.

And he wonders why I think he's over defensive about Heavy Rain. I don't see how someone can have a problem making fun of one funny part of a game. I mean how many people laugh at stuff like the angry videogame nerd where most people haven't even played the games he rips.

A possibility here is that Heavy Rain is supposed to be more than just a videogame.  It has been elevated into a new genre defining experience that will hold the world in such awe, that they won't be able help think that the art of storytelling has passed from movies to videogames, by this one title.   And it will be such a huge lynchpin event, that even money that the world will end up buying PS3s in droves in order to JUST get this game.  It needs to be the killer app of this generation.  Anything short fo that will disappoint.

As far as I am concerned, any game that turns shaving into a minigame, unless it involves Wario, really doesn't do it for me.  If the story is that awesome, let me know when the move adaptation comes out.

By the way, I am not completely against videogames as a storytelling device.  I think Uncharted 2 is awesome.  I also cut Deadly Premonition a ton of slack, because the F K... in the coffee alone makes it a full of win experience.
