Sounds like someone doesn't know what they're talking about. Have you even played HEAVY RAIN OR looked through my game collection?

So in your opinion what is the single biggest innovation to console gaming this generation?

• Online Multiplayer - With Xbox Live came a brilliant ableit juvenile community.  Every game was instantly connected to thousands of people and competitive multiplayer and co-op experiences became the norm making gaming a social experience.
• Motion Controls - The Wii isn't a graphical powerhouse but it did bring something that opened the doors for 10's of millions new gamers -- motion controls.  Everyone from my six year old nephew to my 80 year old nana bought a Wii because of the new control optioned that immersed them even further into the games.
• Achievements - With Xbox Live came multiplayer and achievements.  Multiplayer let you play with friends from your couch and achievements gave you a reason to play and keep playing.  By dangling a prize in front of the player with a description that's even short for twitter, gamers did things they normal wouldn't do and played more than they normally would have played.
• Technological Leap - It's no secret that the Xbox was a giant in the looks department.  Look at a Gamecube, PS2, or Xbox game and compare it to a launch Xbox 360 game and the difference is insane.  Now, with the PS3 out and several years into both consoles, looking at a recent PS3 or Xbox 360 and comparing that to a launch Xbox 360 game and the difference is night and day.  Games have made a huge leaps and bounds in the overall size and look in three short years that is just incredible impressive.
• Downloadable Content - Ah, horse armor, so expensive and so worthless.  Sure, we laugh but no with DLC we can expand our games by having regular content delivered to us for a price.  Sometimes, like in the case of horse armor, it's a joke, other times, like in the case of Borderlands, it's almost an entire new game!
• Other - Did I miss something?  Reply and let everyone knoe!
• User-created content - Specially when it's the core of a game like Little Big Planet (or any other I don't recall now)
• Seamless gameplay-cinematic transition - enabling more dramatic games and hollywood-like experiences. This could be part of the tecnological leap, but in all honest, it's been tried before but never done the way a game like Uncharted 2, MGS4, FFXIII or God of War III do it.

I don't see why that is even necessary, but ok.

Anyway, to your question: look through the official thread. I have educated those who actually care about the game enough. The very way you walk in HEAVY RAIN sets it apart from Indigo.

Funniest lines I've read in a while. Someone hasn't played it.

OT: I'd go with either online gaming or motion control.

Plus, Heavy Rain doesn't suck.  That's a huge difference between it and Indigo Prophecy.  Not to mention the whole "four person perspective/ you can die and the game continues/Motion controls/Branching storyline/nudity" thing.

Branching four character storyline?  That's the genre shearing "innovation"?  

Indigo Prophecy had sex scenes btw.  Or at least it did when it was called Fahrenheit.
