"So now that the Heavy rain game play trailers have been released, we've been able to see what all the buzz was about that has been circulating for over a year now.
It's pretty safe to say that the game is based on quick-time events and a great video game storyline, however if this were a movie, I would say that I wouldn't see it based on what I've seen thus far. But for a video game? the storyline looks epic and looks to be right up there with Metal Gear Solid 4."
"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.
ok Im really into eavy Rain and all, I mean it looks amazing graphically and it looks really fun but the last line :S "the storyline looks epic and looks to be right up there with Metal Gear Solid 4."
-firstly, do they know much, if anything of the storyline?
-up there with MGS4?????????
yeah the game seems storyline driven and from what I've seen (which is enough to go off) lends me to believe the storyline will be epic...
I mean...it better be....the game is focused on it...
If you speak about MGS 4, than Heavy Rain could be on par with Storyline! Because the Storyline of MGS4 was confusing to some people, who havent played the previous games. But if you write/say that the Heavy Rain Storyline is on par with the Storyline of the entire MGS series, than you are lying to yourself!
i never followed MGS until the 4th one and i looked up all the backround stories online and i still was blown away by the plot and characters no doubt best..game..i..ever..played
but i'll put it like this if theres any game, any at all, in the foreseeable future that can match/improve upon mgs4, that game is Heavy Rain. no doubt in my mind
Ps3 is cool!But 360 is Cooler because it got the games i like.An a 8million plus lead.So eat a fat babies d#ck sonyboys!
