Why would I mean it in a negative way? I played lots of interactive movies as a kid, and while they usually had about an hour of gameplay per compact disc, I enjoyed them lots. And Heavy Rain was to me PS3's killer app. I just had to have a PS3 when I saw that game, and when I played it (day 1 purchase) it fulfilled every promise. It still wows me every time I pop it in, in fact. Can't wait for Beyond: Two Souls.

Heavy Rain is in a genre I would call "VERY interactive movie".

I act like? Buddy I own all three consoles. This is a great thread actually. Both genres have been neglected for a long time, 3D platforming was very popular back in the PS1/PS2 days, today they aren't. I know Nintendo makes a 3D Mario every few years but outside Mario you don't have much option in the genre. Sly Thieves in Time reminds me of the good ole ps2 days when we had Jak, Ratchet, Maximo, the og Sly trilogy etc, even Microsoft got in the action with Blinx and Grabbed by the Ghoulies.

NNK feels very traditional and true to its roots, if you talk to people that play the game they'll tell you how it brings them to their childhood rpg days. You can read this, pretty much everyone's feelings: http://pixelsordeath.com/the-short/ni-no-kuni-almost-made-me-cry

I hope next gen we'll see more 3D platformers and JRPGs!

You can't really say a genre is making a comeback with one sly game that you don't even know is good, so that argument is out the window. I'm not even saying Nintendo owns the genre, because you are absolutely right, they really only make a 3D Mario every couple years, but that's a lot more than what Sony has put out throughout their entire PS3 lifecycle, so it's a pretty dumb argument.

JRPG argument is equally silly. Disregarding Xenoblade, Last Story, and the other games I've mentioned is pretty biased. Sure Xenoblade doesn't have the annoying parts of JRPG's, I guess that's a point for you? The point is a lot of other JRPG's on the Wii 3DS and DS are very traditional, and have "made their comeback" for a while.

It's cool that you like both these games, good for you man, but this thread is basically a flame war waiting to happen.

If Ni No Kuni was on the Wii U or Xbox, you wouldn't be saying anything right now.

actually this right here is pretty dumb, because SOny has made more R&C games for PS3, than Ninty made 3d Mario, plus the addition of Sly so no Ninty has not done more than SOny, not in that regard.

Those games feature minimal platforming, and there were only 2 good ones for the PS3. 

So yeah.

I will just mention that  this gen, you can probably come up with a very good list of games in those genre (console 3D plats and JRPGs) off the top of your head and manage to barely forget a single title.  Yeah, this list will seem rather great, but last gen those game types were represented with many more titles, especially JRPGs and citing them all off the top of your head is nigh impossible in comparison.

Yeah, no. They didnt have minimal platforming. Tells me you didnt even play those games. There still considered 3d platforms, so yeah SOny did do more.

You guys surely didn't had a Wii, right? I mean, Wii is crawling with those types of games, that's why it was my system of choice last gen, along with my PC.

crawling is a strong word for any system this gen. PS1 that was crawling with JRPGs, SNES, hell yeah. Wii is aight but doesnt come close to the volume of those two. Now where are these 3D plats. Outside of the 2 Mickeys and 2 Marios I havent seen any. No really, i would like to know.

Hm... Nights and Sonic games count?
