I thought it was great until, it got INCREDIBLY unrealistic. I mean 3 guys and a lady. Not only does the whole scene become unbelievable, she doesn' writhe in pain or get knocked out when her head is shoved into the table at point blank range. So far I'm unsure about the design choices. The boy trying to kill himself at every oppurtunity, and now this. Graphics are good, animation is great sometimes and robotic others. The eyes hurt the characters the most. The are glassy, and dont move around like eyes. But the environments are awesome.

Just wish that the devs thought about the situations more. What they seem to have done is draw you in the because it's unbelievable they lose you.

Sometimes, those choices have to be made in order to create suspense. Seriously, if that's (the motion and the eyes are indeed weak sometimes, especially when wanting to go left and your char moves rather peculiarly) your quarrel with the game, I think - like someone else said - you should stop watching movies at once.

 

The fact that there are numerous movies where people are smacking each other in the face, should already put you off, seeing how pretty much everyone would either break their hand or be in incredibly pain. That's common practice in a movie though. If Madison were like in real life, she'd probably be knocked out with the first punch.... awesome game that would've been...

Oh totally accept that. Movies do it all the time. But because a game is interactive, when they strive for realism on every level like this ( brushing your teeth, sleeping ) then I would expect her to at least stumble. It wasn't just a hit in the head. He grabbed her head and piled it into the corner of the table. All she did was look straight back at him and grab his arm? In a game, where it's interactive thats where the suspense dies.

The suspense didn't die at all. And it was a dream so pretty much anything could of happened.

Wow! The end was intense!



Odd. Future. Wolf. Gang. Kill. Em. All. OFWGKTA Don't give a fuck!

Fuck Steve Harvey. FREE EARL!

Final Fantasy Versus XIII will be the GREATEST game EVER made!!!

I'd take a bullet for Square-Enix!

@ selnor: Hmm, granted, but still, that's like docking Uncharted 2 points for the main character not being injured more in the game than that one gunshot-wound he gets (thought bugrimmar actually gave that as his reason). It has to remain playable. There are other things going on in Heavy Rain that would probably knock anyone else out in a single blow, but for the sake of tension, suspense, it has to keep going imho. I think you're being a bit overly critical.

Maybe. I just always thought the game was striving for realism in all aspects. They could have had the same impact but have perhaps less than 3 big men after her and less of the blatant head smashing table ( the sort of skull fracturing move from tarantino ). But yes it is a game and has to carry on. But it all seems like a take on reality, it's a shame to have James bond moments in there.

No not at all. Theres no such thing. something interactive is an experience not a movie. An interactive experience. Heavy Rain is going for a very real experience.

I watched a movie where a guy got shot 2 times in the back and he still got his gun out and shot the guy who shot him. It's nothing compared to a head smashed on a table, and further more you could see her bleeding in the end. And as papflesje said you're being a bit overly critical on that matter...

Sorry disagree. Movies font have you brushing your teeth or eating breakfast as part of over an hour gameplay. It's an interactive experience. Not interactive movie.
