Heavy Rain's genre defining moment happened 11 years ago............ it's called Shenmue.

Very very different types of games, did you play either?



Are they really that different? perhaps you should look around the interweb and see just how many times that Shenmue & Heavy Rain get mentioned in the same breath..............

You know....... The king and the pauper.

i don't want to look around on the net because i own both and played both.

You know..... like actually play them... with my own hands.

Ditto........... and one is clearly more groundbreaking than the other.


and one is clearly different from the other.

i don't see what you are trying to accomplish with this argument.

I'm not trying to accomplish anything, the facts all around the media speak for themselves. (well, multiplatform media anyway)

as a huge Sega fan do you really think Shenmue is similar to heavy rain ?

see, there is a lot of fighting (there is actual fighting!), lots of mini games , lots of freeroaming lots of outside of storyline interactions on Shenmue

while in Heavy Rain there isn't much of that, and it plays very differently , a lot like the PC point and click games, a lot less like shenmue,  the only thing similar is that they both use QTE , by your logic God Of War is the same as shenmue. heck every action game this gen is the same as shenmue

so unless you are trying too hard to troll or just being another butthurt sega fan going on a holy crusade against Sony because "SONY KILLED SEGA BAWAWW!!!!" , i don't see the point of what you said.

Naughty Dog has also paved the way for in game engine cut scenes with uncharted. 

Hopefully we will see an end to the inblance in graphics between CGI cut scenes and the game itself with more developers to follow Naughty Dog.


*Cough* Castlevania *Cough* Although that was a great game, it could've used some Naughty Dog love for the Cinematics. Enslaved, which was in the same genre learned that lesson. You could tell it was a typical Japanese made adventure/ hack n slash with the detached storyline and you just magically arriving in an area without the storyline to help. Castlevania could've held people in a stronger manner with Naughty Dogs cinematic direction.

Err I would say it was Gears of War 1. I don't really think the bar has been raised significantly since then.



Tease.

Are you talking about all platforms including the PC or just consoles?

Console when you usually say multiplatform.

Halo set the bar for multiplatform shooters and what is seen to be the "perfect control scheme" outside of a PC. last gen.

Gears and Uncharted both set a similar standard for third person shooters.

Has Ps3 exclusives set the bar for how the way games look like


I think your PS3 exclusives have set the bar higher.  The real question is how much do 3rd party developers really care when it might or might not be worth the effort?  Being multi-platform, it's potentially easier to make a profit on a game with a bigger userbase.  But will making that same game better worth the effort in potential profits of attracting more potential buyers?  


Nail hit squarely on the head there.

PS3 exclusives will be technically better than a multilplat.

However they cost more to produce and with a 50 percent cut in potential audience have a much harder task in making profit.

In a commercial sense exclusives are a bad idea.

 

I would say this is the normal conventional thinking.  But there are always cases when the target audience for a game is potentially far greater in one console than another.  Also, I dare to say that releasing FFXIII for the Xbox 360 in Japan was an utter waste.
