Heavy Rain Changing the Game Forecast

Don @ GamingVice.net writes:

"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."

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?????????

BulletToothtony5452d ago

but as of now mgs4 is king of a stories.. specially if you've followed the story of it...

But in the sense of story telling heavy rain seem to be getting close to the idea of deeper gameplay..

Not your average.. they there is some bad guys over there kill them all and that's the end of the story...

All i know is that to me Heavy Rain it's a must have game for people who don't have the attention span of a 5 year old.. it's gonna be one of those games to sit down and enjoy..

WildArmed5452d ago

ugh.. when they compare anything to MGS4 it makes me.. queasy.
Velvet Assassin was compared to it, it didnt do so well.
Splinter cell is being compared.. and i hope it does stand its ground.
Heavy rain.. and all i can do is hope.
They should just assess the game for itself.. they make me dream pretty big when they mention big block busters.

christoph2035452d ago

Im a metal gear fan... but mannn... Metal gear solid 4 is a great game but the story was not that great.. too Confusing and jumbled up.. Its a fact that heavy rain will have a more mature and deeper storyline involving sex, violence and mental pain etc(1 character has a drug addiction etc) Dont be an idiot and say a game which has a man living inside a persons arm will be deeper than heavy rain.

Unicron5451d ago

What was confusing about it?

RumbleFish5451d ago

Anything you compare to any MGS will loose by far, because you can't compare anything to a MGS.

I think Heavy Rain will be a awesome game, but you don't do a service to any game when you compare it to a series like MGS. MGS has allready 4 episodes and those who know the games have an expectation. When you compare Heavy Rain to MGS people will have similar expectations to that new game nobody has played yet.

I can't wait to get my hands on Heavy Rain. Till then, I will do many runs through MGS 4 and play a lot of MGO! Cya in R.R.!

Lfmesquite5451d ago

That's a pretty big gap, that must mean the game is pretty open ended and you have a lot of choices and control.

I don't see this game being based on pure quick time events. The developer has been very protective of plot and has just showed action scenes that require quick time events.

I don't think we've seen enough of the game to label it as being based on quick time events.

If that was the case, then the game would be pretty disappointing as nothing more than an interactive cut scene.

I'm hoping there's a lot of choices on what to do, what to explore, and what to say to other characters, gameplay that has nothing to do with Quick time events.

ThanatosDMC5451d ago

Sorry but, if you didnt understand the story of MGS then sucks for you. MGS is way deeper than you could imagine if you actually played the games, especially MGS4.

"Dont be an idiot and say a game which has a man living inside a persons arm will be deeper than heavy rain"

There was never "a man living inside a persons arm", it was just a feign to fool the Patriots after Big Boss was captured to confuse it. Ocelot way back in MGS3... nvm... f*ck it... there's no point in explaining it to you.

GameGambits5451d ago

MGS is so long and running and so deep rooted it'll be a long time to see any game beat what that series has accomplished in story telling and the total of each sum of its parts is phenomenal.

MGS has set up a whole universe dating back to the early 1900's in our time era that sets up a giant chain of events that isn't fully fleshed out to its max even yet. The games have emotion, depth connectivity, morals, ideas, themes, and so much more every form of story telling tries to touch on in various ways and MGS does it 10X more over.

Heavy Rain is a stand alone project, and won't be guaranteeing you now the same level of depth that MGS as a whole can bring together. However, as a stand alone game, with its own narrative it has plenty it can do to wow us over.

I'm still not fully won over by Heavy Rain as a day 1 purchase, but I am convinced of the games atmosphere and theme from what we've seen which is rock solid.

WildArmed5451d ago

its only due to your misunderstanding.
Its a deep story and if you are willing to put some effort to keep all the facts straight it may seem 'jumbled up'.
but it makes perfect 'sense' story line wise.
MGS4 has one of the best (MGS series should i say?) story lines in gaming/entertainment history.
I hope Heavy Rain will live up to my expectation.

You Already Know5452d ago

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...

H0rned5452d ago

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!

koston36475452d ago

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

rjackson15452d ago

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!

Hydrolex5451d ago (Edited 5451d ago )

My cousin is 6 years old and he bought a PS3 with his birthday and christmas money ! Your IQ is even lower thant a 6 years old !

Please stop comparing video games to movies

"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.

Yes, please stop. They're better than most hollywood drivel nowadays.

BLAKHOODe1258d ago

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.

sourOG1258d ago

No. Some games are like movies.

medman1258d ago (Edited 1258d ago )

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.

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.

bouzebbal1415d ago

def. one of my top 3 best experiences on PS3

ClayRules20121415d ago

bouzebbal

That’s awesome to hear! What’re the other 2 best experiences?

akaFullMetal1415d ago

Great game, need to get started on Detroit soon.

ClayRules20121415d ago

Glad you enjoyed the game! Yes, Detroit is a masterpiece of a game, and their best work to date “in my opinion”

ClayRules20121415d ago

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.

Z5011415d ago

Still have my origami crane they teach you how to make when you're installing for the first time.

C-H-E-F1415d ago

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.
