As much as there are plenty of good games out there at the moment, it is clear that there is currently a lot of repetition in the types of games that companies make and this really is quite an issue. If you look at most of the games out there you just see countless amounts of shooter games, in first-person or third-person, or racers and perhaps the odd old-gen platformer game. Where are the story-driven games that don't necessarily have pointless violence and meaningless missions? Where are the games that really make us think and provoke emotions when we play them?
"Many video games catch not only great commercial attention but remarkable critical attention as well. We have seen games like Heavy Rain, The Last of Us Part II, and even entries in the Metal Gear series described as fantastic interactive experiences, even heralded in the same way as Hollywood's greatest films.
I would suggest that not only is this an unfair comparison but also a harmful one. Video games, by their very nature, are an intricately different medium and should be weighed against one another rather than another form of media," Phillip writes for GF365.
I think Hollywood films will becoming increasingly more like video games in the future, especially as the world embraces the "new normal" from the pandemic. It makes sense, as games like Spider-Man: Miles Morales showcase just how realistically we're reaching in graphical capabilities, as well as showcase extreme action sequences in spectacular ways. And as time goes by, it'll get easier and cheaper to produce such "art", as well as create new star "actors" that never age, never die, never complain, never gets involved in scandals, etc. Technology is amazing and we're only just getting a taste of what it'll eventually be.
No. For the money spent, a quality game provides far more entertainment value than a quality movie. Especially when looking at what is going on in the world, and how a studio can attempt to pilfer from consumers by charging 30 dollars for Mulan via streaming. Ridiculous. There is no comparison....games all day.
What exactly is the David Cage experience, and is it of value? We examine two classics, Fahrenheit and Heavy Rain, to find the answer.
Quantic Dream has announced a new video series to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of Heavy Rain. Check out the first part here.
Have you played Detroit? While it’s my personal favorite, I fully understand many preferring Heavy Rain more. I’m glad you enjoyed Heavy Rain too.
Glad you enjoyed the game! Yes, Detroit is a masterpiece of a game, and their best work to date “in my opinion”
Wow, 10 years...and yet, still one of the best/most emotional/thrilling gaming experiences I’ve ever had.
So grateful to Sony for believing in Quantic Dream’s vision for this game, and giving them a chance. I’ll never forget David Cage saying “We want to challenge the player, but not with the controller, but mentally, with their decisions of “How far would you go to save someone you love” Well, they broke my emotional gamer heart lol.
My teenage son refuses to play this game, because I’ve told him in little detail the emotional impact it had on me all those years ago. Maybe one day he will.
Still have my origami crane they teach you how to make when you're installing for the first time.
it's been 10 years? wow, that was so fast, I feel like this console gen went fast as well although it hasn't. I really look forward to the PS5 this holiday season though.
heavy rain is coming out
oh and uncharted 2 with great character development
god of war 3 with greek mythology
final fantasy xiii ... with fantasy... i guess
we already have infamous.... journey of a hero... or villan
ratchet and clank a crack in time.... space adventure
metal gear peacewalker and rising.... kojima!!!!!
castlevania looks crazy on a side note
mass effect 2.... another space quest game
and more i cant even think of
The Last Guardian will save us all
Bullshit. I have found almost universally that a game that leans heavily on story plays like crap. There are of course exceptions, but by in large, I would rather have a game that PLAYS awesomely than tells a frickin story.
Now, I trust Heavy Rain to pull off both, but lets not forget that complex combat situations are handled with... quick time events. What is this, the interactive video days of the 90's?
It's funny how it seems the PS3 is going to be the console for these types of games, like Heavy Rain and The Last Guardian. I don't think lots of the games kale said really are those types of games though, with platformers and shooters making that list. What were really need is more Heavy Rains, Dreamfalls and Mass Effect had a good story (unfortunately the gameplay on Mass Effect wasn't amazing though). Actually one game that had a really good story was Mirror's Edge, that game is soooo underrated!
