Heavy Rain PlayStation 3 Gameplay - Save the Day (Off Screen)

TheColbertinator5777d ago

Looks really interesting like Indigo Prophecy.Lets see how it turns out

Upbeat5777d ago

ahhhhh the joys of owning a ps3 :D!

topdawg1225777d ago

On the first video before the robbery, you can hear Ryan Clements say
"What the f*ck is happening?" as he tries to move the guy. Ha ha.
The facial animations for this game have improved greatly from what we saw right before E3, looks fantastic.

El Botto5776d ago

The facial expressions, the detail on the faces, even the way the characters speak. This isnt a game lol, this is a hollywood movie.

Day one guaranteed.

Sunny_D5777d ago

That was tense and I really like the gameplay.

Cwalat5777d ago

Simply amazing, i saw another version of this playthrough and it had a different ending to the scene. This will ensure huge replay value, i for one will play through as many times as possible to see the different endings/cutscenes.

Amazing game, and i hope critics aren't onesighted enough to agree.

Muff1nB4k3r5777d ago

This video is more spoilerish than the other ones I've seen off of gametrailers, same scene, different outcomes I'm really looking forward to this!

pre-ordered with release date delivery. can't wait.

ultimolu5777d ago

Those character models are stunning...and the interactions are life-like.

Very awesome.

This is going to be interesting. Heavy Rain is probably going to be one of the hardest games to review (I see it getting a ton of mixed reviews).

Heavy Rain is basically an interactive movie which I find refreshing. The major draw to this game is the story, and the reviewers who don't get that or expect more are going to rate the game poorly. But if the game keeps up the suspense and deliver a great story (on a level of a movie) then it will get rave reviews by those who do. It's obvious this game is not for everyone, but one thing to remember is that this game is basically taking the conversation system from Mass Effect and the gameplay of Indigo Prophecy and taking it to a whole new level. The problem Heavy Rain is going to have is convincing Gamers that an interactive moive/game is worth $60. They are really going to have to do something special if they want more sells.

Off the top of my head the best thing I think they can do is make this game episodic. Any other ideas guys?

ABizzel15777d ago

If you disagree please state why you disagree. I'm not a crazy fanboy. I just want to know what you think.

How do you think gamers will react to Heavy Rain? Heavy Rain may be a good game, but how do you justify spending $60 on it?

THis just made me think of another way. It would have been cool if it was kind of MMO-like, and you got to play as your own character and went through these events along with everyone else who was on at that time (but if the game were made like that then we probably wouldn't be playing it until Feb. 2014). So back to the drawing board.

What else will make Heavy Rain worth a $60 purchase besides the story, or will the story be enough?

Redempteur5777d ago (Edited 5777d ago )

this is really neat i guess the amount of paths in this game will be ENORMOUS ... what i realy wonder is ... How many endings ?
This will be a huge question for me since the characters can die and the story still being in motion ... i guess you'll be sure you won't see the same game as your friends

rockleex5776d ago

This game is an evolution of Indigo Prophecy.

To me, Mass Effect's conversation system has a LOT more resemblance to Oblivion's conversation system.

In Heavy Rain, any subtle action/any slightly different comment made to another person/etc has immediate and long-term consequences.

There's a huge difference.

heroicjanitor5776d ago

That had me worried, one wrong move and you are dead and the story continues, you don't just start from a checkpoint... Can't wait for this game!

Nice facial animation. I wonder if it's mo-capped.

Sunny_D5777d ago

Yeah, it is motion captured. I think David Cage said that.

Christopher5777d ago

Yeah, mo-capped.

Definitely seeing A LOT of improvements in facial and body animations with these. The protagonist's body language when he asks if he can look in the box are almost spot on what I'd expect from an actor in a movie.

Very well done.

poeo5777d ago

in fact, from what i read, this game is the biggest motion capture project in history.

think about THAT.

Pandamobile5777d ago

Putting their animators out of jobs. lol.

Redempteur5777d ago

Well they manage to get funds by sharing their capturing equipment with other studio(s) [rent] . there are doing that since god know when ..
Almost everything in indigo prophecy was motion captured as well ..but this time they put a lot more work into the camera angles and the sound effects ...

(yeah even the children playing in the rain in the first trailer ( not teaser ) were mo-capped )

JOLLY15777d ago

I really like how hard it was to figure out what you wanted to do. I don't really like the Mass Effect way of doing thing. Good on top bad on bottom. Everything was just floating around kind of like if might be in your head.

callahan095777d ago

Yeah, that's a good way to describe it. It really does a good job of recreating the tension you might feel in real life, and the fogginess of your thoughts, while everything rushes around in your head and it's tough to get your head clear and choose the right thing to do. It's a pretty cool interface. I'm excited for this game.

Raoh5777d ago

man that was awesome, i am so pissed right now this was delayed till next year..

i cant wait

wiggles5777d ago (Edited 5777d ago )

Tell me about it...I have been waiting for a game with a non generic story for years...I mean how many times can I be planet earth's last hope....seriously....I hope more games take this original story idea...or at least be focused more on story and emotions then "run and gun...and I hope you give 2 cents about the story.. "

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.

BLAKHOODe1671d 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.

sourOG1671d ago

No. Some games are like movies.

medman1671d ago (Edited 1671d 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.

bouzebbal1828d ago

def. one of my top 3 best experiences on PS3

ClayRules20121828d ago

bouzebbal

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

akaFullMetal1828d ago

Great game, need to get started on Detroit soon.

ClayRules20121828d ago

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

ClayRules20121828d 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.

Z5011828d ago

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

C-H-E-F1828d 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.
