Visually the game looks great, especially people's faces and the world is rendered wonderfully and sets a wonderful mood. However, a few things aren't of such a quality, for instance, lip-syncing with dialogue, some animations look crude, some items are quite low res and not animated correctly. Probably the worst thing about it is the dialogue, which is supposed to be delivered by American actors, but instead, it's delivered by Europeans with a fake American accent, which really puts a damper on the authenticity of the game. Overall though, Heavy Rain still stands out as one of the best PS3 games of the past few years, and you should definitely check it out.
"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.
sounds like he watched the IGN video review and just made it his own
Just played the demo and it was nice and relaxing , there was a little bit of camera issues but one of my most enjoyable ps3 moments
8 out of 10 (which is good) but then "Heavy Rain still stands out as one of the best PS3 games of the past few years"
Do I detect a back-handed compliment there?
another flop !!!
wow, just wow
This game is a gem , a game ppl should add to their collections u never know what dlc may appear from it free dlc or premium stuff.
An idea of free dlc would be costumes or like scenes like the sleazy place demo how if there was like a theme where it was valentines day themed things.
Edit: there's a valentines heart pillow on the bed in the sleazy hotel scene.
