IGN: Heavy Rain's an interactive movie, and it's an enthralling experience.
"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.
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.
None the less, This game is the truth.. the step in the right direction that the Gaming industry needs. i'm Glad Sony took up HR and Quantic dreams vision, this is what owning a PS3 is all about, giving experiences you simply wont find on any platform.
HR=totally purchased. i'm skipping the demo since i dont want anything spoiled for me.
And as far as bright spots for Sony, It's only the Begining of 2010, MAG started off the year Quite well i would say.. MAG has been sucessful, maybe not like ME2 but it certainly has garnered quite a positive reaction. and then ofcourse WKC is well not quite what everyone was expecting... This Game comes as Sony's Second and Better block buster of the year, but all of that Changes, after March, this Blokbuster onslaught continues with pehaps the biggest EPIC of the Year... GOW3...
In before SUCK IT BOTS
but due to it being a niche title it will probably get less sales than it deserves.
Perhaps from now on,people could stop the accusations, in the gamer zone at least, of certain web sites namely - IGN, Eurogamer etc of being biased over consoles - this solid score proves again that there is no hidden agenda.
Happy gaming one and all :D
EDIT @mint royale - that is why i highlighted the 'gamerzone' in my text - surely the fanboys can leave this zone alone.........2 disagrees for talking sense - that somehow doesn't surpise me LMAO
