Looks absolutely amazing. I can't wait for this game now, definetly a purchase. I loved Fahrenheit.

Anyone complaining about the gameplay has obviously never played Fahrenheit.

I agree.

That said, a large number of people fans of this game, but have never played Indigo Prophecy.

They are fans because:

A. This is a PS3 exclusive.

B. Graphics of said game were heavily touted as "only possible on the PS3," and "CGI Quality."

Fact is, hardcore fans of the first game, Indigo Prophecy, should still be very excited about this.

However, fans of the game who just became fans because of the obviously touched up early rendering of the engine should be vastly dissapointed. Not only could this game be done on the Xbox 360, it could be done slightly better. None of these trailers look as good as Gears 2, or even Alan Wake(which might also be touched up renderings).

Despite this fiasco, the truth is, this game is still the sequel to Indigo Prophecy, and us IP fans should LOVE it. Most of the "fans" on this site, however, don't even know how the game will be, at all(they would probably hate it if they did), and wouldn't give a rats ass about it if it was on the Xbox 360, and in fact, would probably be flaming this very trailer right now.

Am I wrong, at all, here? Please, I require feedback if you believe I am incorrect. I must know, how, exactly, is this post not dead on?


Yes, your post is dead on.

NO! His post isn't dead on because it's filled with a lot of "his opinons" and not facts.

His Opinion: this game could be done on 360, and slightly better

His Opinion: fans are only excited for this game cause it's PS3 exclusive (although, I'm DEFINITELY not one of those people)

His Opinion: This game doesn't look as good as Gears or Alan Wake

His Opinion: "touched up" early rendering....That's rubbish because the guy was playing the "Taxidermest" demo, no "touched up" anything.

CGI-Quality's opinion: The game looks as good as the "Taxidermest" scene and I have a trailer to show that. The game won't be for everyone, but then again, NO game is for everyone.

Basically, you came in here and trolled on the game, and then claim that all of what you say is dead on. I say, prove what you say with F_A_C_T_S  and you then you're on to something. Until then, your post was not spot on anything, but rather, a lot of BS...

Calm down CGI, just relax, ok, no offense at you or the game. I've said time and time again, I can't wait for it.

A. My opinion is that I've seen games that look this good or better on the PS3 and 360. Uncharted. Killzone 2. Gears 2. That is MY OPINION. Most people agree, I bet, ask them. The game doesn't look as good as Gears 2, no. It sure as HELL doesn't look as good as the PC trailer from Alan Wake.

B. Those photos in your sig, this trailer doesn't look anywhere near as good as them. I thought it was supposed to be CGI quality, but instead it looks "good for a regular game." I wouldn't look twice if I saw this on TV. It is not "revolutionary" graphically. IMO.

C. I don't think that ALL people were fans of this game because of its graphics, or its platform. However, I know the REAL fans of this game could care less about the graphics or the platform, and they already know exactly how it will play. They only care about its release date.

I never tried to state a bunch of facts. There are no facts. Rating a trailer is about opinion. However, I feel mine were pretty close to a truth that many might not want to accept. If they aren't, it's just my opinion. Calm down. I know you have been waiting for this game for a long time. It's going to be good, if you liked Indigo, but let's be realistic here.

So are you comparing an ALPHA version of Heavy Rain with full games as Killzone 2 or Gears of War 2???

WTF man??

No way... seriously if you say this game doesn't look AWESOME then you have a problem.

http://www.gametrailers.com/video/exclusive-lagoon-heavy-rain/49549

Watch the video. Doesn't have AMAZING graphics? Yes it has, and yes it is like the first video.

Wait until E3... we will see new videos and images. Those videos are old, from 2008.

A lot of people said Killzone 2 looks like shit when they saw 2008 footage. Then played the full version and closed their mouths.

 

 



@Vgspain its call his opinion...pretty sure he stated that explicitly

IMO---->>>The concept/theory of the game sounds extraodinary but realistically i dont think it will be receive well by the general population.



Hmm, the graphics look bad now, not too bad, but worse then before. Maybe they will improve graphics like GOW3 did.



Around the Network

this game looks awesome.

@ Zen

That's because you watched the shittiest of all HEAVY RAIN trailers, go watch the Nightclub scene. I'm sorry, I think Gears and HEAVY RAIN aren't even comparable, two TOTALLY different art styles. In m y personal opinion, I prefer HEAVY RAIN's art style, much more realistic.

Second, the PC version of Alan Wake is debatable, even though after seeing the better footage of HEAVY RAIN, (Nightclub scene/Taxidermist footage) I disagree slightly, even though Alan Wake (PC) has far better lighting than HEAVY RAIN.

Regardless, I've seen the better trailers and I can tell you the trailer posted in the OP should be disregarded, it's SD and doesn't even show the best of HEAVY RAIN
Watch this trailer.......

http://www.gametrailers.com/video/exclusive-lagoon-heavy-rain/49549

That's leaps and bounds above that crappy 1up trailer. Also, in one of the videos, the developer talks about how the Nightclub scene is further along in development and that the FBI scene (scene posted in the OP) is still further off from completion. That's why it doesn't look quite as crisp as ALL of the other footage!

Still, no touch ups or cheap tricks were used in any of the gameplay trailers, that was all on the engine.

@ rafichamp: please wacth the trailer I posted, the game looks better than it did before, it's just that FBI scene that isn't as far along.

I thought it was going to look like the ultra-realistic photos in your sig.

As I've said, the game looks good. It doesn't look as good as Killzone 2. I, and many, expected this game to look much better than Killzone 2.

As for how the game will play, there is no big secret. I know exactly how the game will play, step by step, EXACTLY. Anyone who has played Indigo and watched ANY trailer of this game knows EXACTLY what to expect. All this stuff the devs are saying, the "death works into the game" "multiple paths" stuff IS ALREADY IN INDIGO Prophecy! It is a fantastic game. Really, bro, if you do care about this game at all, you MUST go play Indigo Prophecy. It's like hyping Twilight Princess without playing Ocarina. IP is a fantastic game. It's available for the PS2 on ebay, and actually downloadable over XBLA. It is just like Heavy Rain, but probably has an even better story, and the VA is epic. 10/10 game.

Graphics really don't matter to me, fyi. However, your sig looks way better than Alan Wake PC, and the trailers for this game don't look nearly as good as your sig.

The first image in that signature is taken from in-game, from the Taxidermist demo. I'm not sure about the other two.

And the images have been resized to such a small size, that I can't see how you can compare them with Alan Wake PC, Killzone 2, Gears 2, the new trailers or anything at all. Go watch the gameplay demo of "the taxidermist" and that will make more sense to compare.

As to "look much better than Killzone 2", that's a simplistic notion. The models and animations shown in the taxidermist or lagoon fragments are certainly better than KZ2, but really you're comparing very different animals as Heavy Rain will aim for a more realistic and undrestated look, less heavy on image effects and more focused on the characters. In the end Heavy Rain will have to compete with HL2 when it comes to facial expressions, not with anything you mentioned.

I was expecting more graphically, but Im sure there is far better visuals to this game than shown in that potentially old video.

Anyway, let me in the Heavy Rain Fanclub!

So, what you're saying is that my expectations were simply too high, and indeed the game was never intended to blow everyone away graphically, but instead, I am to blame, for expecting too much?

This is just spin. Everyone with 2 eyes, who saw that trailer, but had been expecticing unbelievably graphics, and these aren't unbelievable.

It IS NOT MY FAULT, or the fault of my eyes, that these graphics aren't as good as what 99 percent of EVERYONE on this forum expected.

I'm tired of being attacked because I have an opinion. A very valid and common one, btw, and one that isn't completely biased, btw.

I mean, it's rediculious, "how can you compare xxx to xxx" it's EASY. I can compare anything, with my eyes. Anyone, not trying to damage control this, can compare technical graphics in any game, to technical graphics in this game, and tell that it DOES NOT look CGI Quality, but instead, it looks failry pixilated and average, and obviouly NOT as good as Uncharted, when it was hyped to look MUCH better than Uncharted. If you deny that it was hyped to look better than anything else...well I have no response to that. There are members of this site, with Avatars NAMED after how "great" the graphics look in this game. Closer to release, they look good, but they don't look like the best game ever.

 

...do they look like the best graphics ever?

No.

Close?

No.

What say you?
