CVG: Heavy Rain mastermind David Cage has defended the decision to have Madison get naked in the game - claiming it allows players to develop a more intimate knowledge of the character.
"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.
Lame... Basically, he's pull out all the stops to draw attention and controversy to his game in hopes it brings in more sales. Let's face it, a game that has no gameplay isn't going to make a huge splash on consoles you want to play games on. If this were on the PC it "might" have an audience... Everyone has a PC and low enough specs to run this low end game. Point and click games thrive in the Pc market... Heavy Rain should've been a PC exclusive.
PS3 owners are going to shun this one... Wait and see. 1st week sales 70,000. And it only goes down hill from there. This game won't sell 250,000 life time. Wait and see. Wait and see.
The only ones excited for this game are the most vocal... They are a few and small number too.
This game is nothing less than a masterpiece :-)
This so called low end game that you are referring to, graphically puts all your 360 exclusives to shame.
And as for 250,000 lifetime, well i honestly think you will be eating them words come 2 weeks after release
Wait what were we talking about?
I played the demo about an hour ago and I'm pretty impressed. The way the fight scene played out put a smile on my face.
I'm glad I pre-ordered the collector's edition as it's going to be a very unique experience.
