Detroit Jared Moore Detroit Matt Kim May 26, - Hindsight is League of Legends Cam Shea Detroit Joseph Knoop Cage though, clearly believes that HR is a breakthrough in the genre of console games, a radical departure from zombie shoot em ups and war simulations.
I don't know. Why is the guy that played it thinking about pies? Maybe when his mind wanders he should think about women. Just one question I will ask to confirm whether I believe this game is awesome. In that screenshot above in the title, where the character is driving a motorcycle, does the player get to actually drive the motorcycle in real time or is it a cutscene?
The answer to that question alone will do it for me. The only thing you can do in the game is walk by holding down R2, everything else is QTE : - taking a sh! I think it's a cutscene. But why does that matter? Stop trying to stir up a flame war. This is not a game for the average gamer. It's a breath of fresh air and if you can't accept that then don't buy it.
Wonder why Aquanox is so butthurt he has to troll every ps3 article. Dont be angry the is all you could afford. I don't really understand the obsession with metacritic this gen. I guess it's a Tool's tool for some form of supremacy huh?
Unbelievable how much time he spend on articles about Games from a Console he doesn't have and I thought Bungie was the Worst, wait a minute Is that you Bungie in one of your multiple Accounts? Gamers FTW!!! It is the most intense game trailer I have ever seen. And the friggin clown in it was horrifying. To be honest, I enjoy watching my friend play the demo more than playing it for myself.
Something about concentrating on which buttons to push during a crazy action scene like that bald dude fighting the fat cop guy in the hooker's room kinda makes me miss out on what is actually going on. At first I was going to buy this, but my budget is limited.
I might have to just youtube heavy rain or go to my friend's house to watch them play. If you would have read the article then you would know that your comment is not warranted.
However, I must say that some people do not need metacritic to tell you that this game is something different from the norm and is a great way to divert our attention from the average games out today. If you pass it up then it must not be for you but for those of us that are looking forward to it, please keep your negative comments out of it. Trolls are just plain pathetic.
I don't see heavy rain as a bunch of QTE's I gotta say I loved the gameplay in the demo every second of it. If you don't like the gameplay then that's your opinion but when you really emmersed in the game the QTE go away as well as all the controls as well as the controller itself.
Deffinetly a great game, and a totally unique experience on any console, EVER. I wouldn't go as far to say its the best game ever, but it really is amazing and i hope they make more of the "Interactive Drama" genre.
Yes i have played the game. I mean like, the graphics are good and all that, but there's not a lot going on. Sometimes it feels like you're waiting for a bus on a slow day" Agreed The first part of the demo was awesome but the second part where you were investigating the site was so so.
It may have a good story but a game must have an emphasis on gameplay, thats why its a game! I appreciate the effort and story in the game but this would hold my attention for long.
If I want a deep story I can turn to a book Personally, I need both good gameplay and a good story. If I don't care about the characters or their motivations, then quite frankly there's no reason to bother completing the game in question. I still dont like the type of gameplay that may just be me, but you are right about a need for variety I cant stand generic FPSs!
If you're planning on skipping the bulk of this text and heading straight to the review score to decide whether or not you should play through Heavy Rain , just know this: the game starts slow.
It'll take you a couple hours to get into the meat of the experience and for things to really pick up, but once it does, you'll be on the edge of your seat until the end and you won't want to put the controller down. In other words, if you stick with it, Heavy Rain will give you a ride like you rarely see in games.
Having said that, it's also worth quickly pointing out that I'm going to keep this review completely spoiler-free , so feel free to read it without fear of anything being ruined for you and trust me, you don't want anything ruined. Quantic Dream's last title, dubbed Indigo Prophecy in North America and Fahrenheit pretty much everywhere else, tried to bridge together intricate storytelling with gameplay by using what were essentially quick-time events think Dragon's Lair.
A button prompt appears on the screen, and if you press it in time, the game continues and you get another one. If you don't, you fail and usually wind up staring at the words "Game Over". You can't ever actually fail in Heavy Rain. There is no Game Over screen, and nothing will force you to have to replay anything. No matter what you do, the game, its characters and the story move on.
This has multiple effects. If you're in an action sequence, missing one prompt might not mean much other than that the fight or chase would play out a little differently.
Rather than taking out the bad guy right then, you might get knocked down but get another chance right after that. Miss too many and the bad guy might get away, but like I said, the story will continue on, no matter the result. In other instances, these options as there is often more than one button available to you at any one time will decide what a character says, how they react to something, what you interact with or so on and so forth.
The result is that although you're still matching button prompts, Heavy Rain feels much more like you're choosing and influencing what happens in the game, rather than simply reacting to it.
This is a major and key element of the control mechanics that separates Heavy Rain from the likes of Indigo Prophecy, Dragon's Lair or even God of War's boss takedown sequences, and it's really what makes the actual gameplay work quite well. What's really interesting is that Heavy Rain manages to always keep you on your toes, and if you don't pay attention and keep your cool, you'll pay for it.
There are action sequences that happen when you least expect them, and if you're not ready, you may "fail" them. In other cases, the opposite is true: events can happen very quickly and your gut instinct may be to react to them, when the best option may have been to wait for a better opportunity or not react at all. The first time this last bit happened to me, I had to stop playing for a minute and think about what I'd done and what the consequences would wind up being.
Things can get pretty intense, to say the least. The great thing about all of this, and the reason that Heavy Rain may not have worked with any other control scheme, is that everything in the game revolves around the story. This isn't something where Quantic Dream came up with some cool scenes and then wrapped a story around everything to tie it together; the story is the utmost focus, and everything that you do and everything that happens directly feeds into it, without exception.
Without having a "defined" control scheme that only allows you to perform a set number of actions, the changing control options allow the mechanics to adapt to what makes sense for your character to do at any point to keep the storytelling as unopposed as possible.
