Looking back at Quantic Dream´s last masterpiece, Fahrenheit (or Indigo Prophecy for the Americans), really gets me excited for their highly anticipated next game - Heavy Rain. Fahrenheit was definitely a fresh and revolutionary step for the gaming industry. Not only did it deliver a unique gameplay experience but even today is it still known as one of the most emotionally immersive games ever made.
"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.
Well im glad someone wrote this, as ive been watching all these trailers and I havent the slightest idea of what the hells going on or why..
By far my most wanted title.Sorry drake, kratos, etc..
This game is right up my alley in terms of what i want out of a game.
Emotions, grounded story, believable characters.
Check out the E3 trailer of it on PSN if you haven't all ready.Shows off a few new characters, some gorgeous new stages (like a mall with hundreds of people on screen) Looks great so far.And Quantic dream hasn't even started polishing the game up yet !
*Possible spoilers* *Stop reading* *OMG WHY ARE YOU STILL READING!!!*

From the Trailer i got on PSN (Seen here) http://www.youtube.com/watc...

And during the trailer (E3 09 trailer)
http://www.youtube.com/watc...
it shows a very familiar women @ 43-46 seconds you might remember her from the early tech demo

i assume she is his wife/girlfriend (Ex wife?) in heavy rain.Her performance in the link above would tie in nicely with his character.Anyways, just my two cents.Any other theories who the other characters could be? I'm dieing to know !
I liked their last game, so I'm very much looking forward to Heavy Rain. =)
The BoTs Will Never Understand !!!
This is going to be a sleeper hit unfortunately because of the install base and lack of advertising...too bad...still gonna be an amazing game though!
