I feel like this game will not sell well unless reviews are glowing (above 90). I did like Heavy Rain but for some reason have no inclination to play another game like it. But, certainly, I could be in the minority. Hopefully I'm wrong and people love it.

These types of games will always be niche or low sellers. Now that we've seen games like TT: The walking dead games progressively lose their audience, it might be a sign that story heavy, point and click, QTE style games are falling out of favor. It's all just rambling in my part but I think TT burned this type of thing into the ground.

OT: Sony is spacing out games beautifully. Dissidia NT in january (albeit, not that big of a deal), SotC in february, Ni no kuni in march, god of war in april, detroit BH in may and spiderman in june (i think)

To me, it means the story has to be truly amazing or it falls flat. Until Dawn found a niche for itself, but didn't that even have more gameplay elements? I did really like the story of Heavy Rain, but not enough that I felt it was "must play".

I haven't been keeping track of the previews, though - maybe it does have more game play than past entries. Or something that mixes it up more. Or maybe more people like these types of games than I anticipate.

I do hope it's done well, though, and that people that are looking forward to it are pleased.
