MGS definitely has a better storyline than a game that has a silent protagonist with no character development or a game that relies on audio diaries for every bit of storytelling.

lol, this game's controls are like a racer! =P

You move your head with the left stick, then press R2 to move in the direction you're looking at. Pretty intuitive if you ask me. I have to finish watching the video, but the loading is incredibly long! @_@

The quality of a game's story has nothing to do with whether or not it is being told through cutscenes.  It has more to do with how well it is told, how good the pacing is, and how going the writing and/or VA is.

MGS4's story was deep.  It successfully finished plotlines started in previous games in the series.  It also made quite a few people cry.

Man, their servers are getting hammered.

What I'm hearing is that it plays like Indigo Prophecy with suped-up PS3 graphics. That is, indeed, pretty compelling.

I'll have to watch the video tomorrow, or whenever the servers are less, you know, decimated.

I don't think any sane person can argue with that, though let's keep this thread clean.

I'm fairly interested about this game myself as i loved Indigo Prophecy :)

Hey congrat a new PS3 owner: ME!

DTG: I wouldn't worry about the game's storyline. I hesitate to use the term 'interactive movie' when describing this game, as many haters have latched onto the term in an attempt to degrade it, but it certainly does blur the line between videogame and movie (in a good way, IMO).

It's very much a story driven game. It might not have cut scenes, but it doesn't need them at all. All the story elements occur whilst you're playing. Imagine MGS4's cut scenes, but with the ability to move around and control your character in them, actively altering the narrative's direction in real time as you do so.

I thought cinematic gaming arrived like 11 years ago?

Anyways, I don't want to watch 30 minutes of Heavy Rain because personally that's just too much of the game for it not to ruin something significant for me. I feel the only people that should watch it are people that don't care about the game in the first place, and those people wouldn't want to see it, so no one should watch it.
