The graphic is unbelievable. If the game graphics has such a quality outside of QTEs it is the best looking game this gen.

But I have a problem with the eyes of the people in Heavy Rain. they just look like empty puppets. I have seen figures in games which "lived" more. They really seem to have a problem with this. The Ingame Scene where he talked to this black guy in the crane. The expressions of both Characters where extremly artifical and the Cop looked like he was on Oxycodone.

Nevertheless I will buy this game. Because it is something new. Not just the same stuff over and over again.

A. The graphics look like that throughout the entire game.

B. The cop (FBI Agent) in HEAVY RAIN IS on a drug.

C. The game is "in-game" at all times. There's rarely a cutscene. Therefore, the little subtle movements have to be rendered during game, something that isn't usually done. Considering that the game isn't compiled of many cutscenes, the movement is incredible but could still, and I'm sure will, receive more polish.

The Fbi Agent is really on drugs ok that explains a lot. I avoid reading things about the story of games which I am going to  buy. 

 

This game could be (for me) one of the best games of all time but it could fail too. I just dont have a real understanding how this game works. 

But there is one thing which could be great. Gem is coming out in the next months. Maybe they have implemented Gem Compatibility in this game. Or maybe they will implement it in the future and offer it as DLC. That could improve the game even more and would make a lot of people buying Gem.  Heavy Rain just seems perfect for Motion Control. I have aready seen pictures which show that you have to move the Sixaxis.

 

I remember the guy from MTV (GameOne) was totally hyped for this game after Gamescom, and they are usual never hyped for a game.

 

I have to experience this game to make a conclusion. Is Heavy rain a step in to the future of videogames ? The story the atmosphere everything appeals to me. But i am afraid It could take too much control from the player and be just a huge QTE like some people say. But this thing with multiple choices during the game so every scene has a lot of outcomes is for example the thing which interest me the most. My feelings for the game are splitted up. I am very hyped for the game and I am looking forward since 2 years for it. But I am also afraid it could not live up to my expectations.

I think this game will be awesome, but I agree, it's not up everyone's alley from what I've seen.

Definitely seems "point and click"-like but with way more emotional involvement. I can't wait, I've had it preordered since September!

F_A_I_N_T_S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why? Are you looking foward to owning or playing this game?

CGI is just happy there's a hole in the centre of the disc :p


LMAO, that's one of the funniest thing I heard here on this site.

But seriously the game looks great but from the pics I have seen, the gameplay doesnt look so good. I mean is this another boring animation movie or a really good looking video game?

How can you determine game play from a picture? lol...

I was able to do it with MW2, SSBB, Halo 3 and even FFXIII...you know pics that are showing gameplay...

Anyway I also have seen some gameplay trailers on youtube too. This reminds me a lot of SEGA-CD. Amazing graphics for the time with boring or no gameplay. 

HEAVY RAIN isn't a game that tells it's game play through pics. Many people already mistake this game for many others in terms of play style. It has game play either way. It being "boring" would just be an opinion.

Well sure it is an opinion like anything else on this thread. I just think there will be a lot of people sharing this opinion unless you're into point and click games.

That's says it all because if you have played it. You won't think it's a point and click game (It isn't a point and click) because you have full control of the character just like a normal third person adventure game.

Well after seeing some more trailers, that still looks like a kind of point-and-click game to me. Maybe not a pure point-and-click game but certainly a hybrid genre of point-and click and adventure game.

Those are gorgeous screens. This game will be beautiful.

But I worry it won't appeal to the HD Console owners who demand fast-paced action. Even as a huge adventure game fan I lost all interest in this game when I saw it was all QTEs. (I don't have a PS3 but my brother does) Also, probably no replay value so expect Used Games shelves to be stuffed full of Heavy Rains within days of it launching. I hope it succeeds but I'm not confident it will.


Well then you saw the wrong game,  cause Heavy Rain is not all QTEs. 


According to a demonstration given to Edge magazine, the game will use a unique control scheme.[14] A trigger button on the PlayStation 3 controller will move the character forward. It will take advantage of the button's analogue function, allowing the user to control the speed of the character's movement by pressing harder or softer on the button. The left analogue stick will control the movement of the character's head and the direction the character moves in relation to where the character is looking. David Cage explains that this frees the movement of the character from the perspective of the camera. The rest of the game is played using a series of context sensitive actions such as picking up a bottle in a grocery store and hitting a robber on the head with it, and quick time events, normally for chase and combat sequences.

It not entirely QTEs, I'll edit my post, but it is QTE heavy and personally, I really hate QTEs.  I will not play a game where all the actions are QTEs.  I just wouldn't enjoy that in the slightest.  I love adventure games because they are cerebral and relaxing.  To me QTEs have no business being in an 'adventure' game.   But that's my personal taste and no reflection on the gaming community as a whole.  

@CGI-Quality - I didn't realize the game had multiple endings.   I did stop following it some time ago for the above reason.  My bad.

You can ignore all those QTE's if you want, just don't expect a happy ending :p There are plenty of parts in the preview version where you can just let the game do what it wants, with merely a slightly different ending to that sequence (being beaten up for example). If you really hate QTE, just put down the controller and enjoy the cinematics :p

 

@ atma: It's point & click in nature, but with a different approach to it. It's quite a bit more immersive

Really?  Damn it.  Now I want this.  lol.   Guess I'll rent it and offer to babysit my brother's kids so I can... no that won't work it's got adult content! D'oh!  Those kids are going to bed early;  too bad.

So um.. technically aren't all games point and clicks?
