Review summary: "Heavy Rain is a must buy for any PlayStation 3 owner. Offering eight different endings, player's choice of words, and a thrilling story that will have you on the edge of your seat, you'll want to play it over and over again. Of course, there's rewards for doing so such as trophies, unlockables and videos like the famous 2006 "Casting" video – but the real reward is experiencing the tale that Quantic Dream has to tell. You shape the futures of these four characters and it's up to you to decide what happens. Heavy Rain is one of a kind and truly the player's game."
"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.
Bungie tryin 2 spoil sh!t again, get a life you tard.
I thought once you entered puberty you were supposed to mature??
Obviously not in your case
Just come to my attention that bungie always seems to be one of the 1st to comment on any ps3 exclusive game.
Do you even own a console?? because if you do why aint you playing on it instead of trolling on every article 24/7
YOU NEED 2 GET LAID!!
What is with the Haters? Just because the 360 is ending its life cycle does not mean to continue the fanboy war. Just remember there is plenty of room on the PS3 bus.
You fuccking prick!
I like this comment from the review: "Heavy Rain is one of a kind and truly the player's game.". That's the one that explains why Bungie and his kind are so against it.
