I JUST SHAT MY PANTS, gonna add that I seriously got tears ALL OVER MY FACE and shivers like MAD! OMG
Main differences to Heavy Rain:
- Mostly 3rd person camera. Slightly directed and sways a bit to points of high interest, but never too far away from the character
- Walking/running entirely realized with the left analogue stick. No more R2 tank controls like Heavy Rain
- Interacting with objects is still on the right stick, but no weird motions required anymore and everything can be triggered with an up/down flick
- Combat also works around this idea, effectively making the need to remember all the buttons irrelevant
- Different difficulty settings just like Heavy Rain, hardest one requires more inputs or has stricter timing, easy mode (for non-gamers) streamlines most of it
- During 90% of the game you can switch at any point to Aiden (the entity) by pressing the triangle button
- You solve puzzles with Aiden by manipulating the environment and possessing people. You control him freely with both sticks like a first person camera
- Dialogue choices just like Heavy Rain, combined with branching paths and multiple endings
- There are several free-roaming areas where you can use vehicles and horses to explore your environment freely
- Fight scenes only use the right analogue stick and general action scenes require direct input (e.g. running through a forest while chased and you have to find a way out)
