Heavy Rain

[Shreds_of_Flesh]

PS3 exclusive. Been interested since first hearing about it, not sure why I didnt make a thread before :D but here's a some footage of it :rocker: The whole concept of the game being over once you die seems pretty interesting.

so this is the evolution of point and click games huh? I think I miss Full Throttle and Leisure Suit Larry.

I know the whole when you die the game ends thing will piss me off A LOT if I buy this game.

[FrighT MasteR]

Been waiting for this game for a while now :fapper:

technically the game doesnt end if you die, there are 4 different characters you play as they all have different reasons of trying to find out more about the origami killer. If you die as one there story is lost, but not the other 3.

Personally, this is part of the reason i ended up buckling and buying a ps3, these guys made a very good underrated game called indigo prophecy. Very excited about this one.

Yeah, if I end up hating a character I'll kill them on purpose. Always wanted to try out IP.

[choptop2]

Looks pretty cool, I wanted to see what happened at the end of that robbery clip!

[FrighT MasteR]

I know what happens at da end :fapper:

[Freddy316]

Game looks interesting. :hmmm:

I'd heavily suggest it, you can probaly pick it up for 5-10 bucks honestly, and believe me at that price it's well worth it, if not a bit frustrating on occasion.

a preview from the game

http://kotaku.com/5425776/heavy-rain-impressions-an-ambitious-sorrow


The player controls Ethan Mars, taking the happily married father of two boys through some basic morning routines. That's the tutorial, teaching the player that a hold of a PlayStation 3 controller's shoulder button will walk Ethan forward, twists of the left control stick will turn him, but that most meaningful action will be generated by presses and pushes of the right stick and face buttons. Getting up from bed is a push of the right stick up. Opening a door might be a slide to the side. Shaving, washing your face and brushing your teeth is a combination of button taps and motion-triggered controller shakes. Any available action is signaled by the presence of a floating controller prompt, making the gameplay largely one of walking, searching for the next prompt that signals an available action. A hold of another shoulder button often generates a swirl of words around Ethan, representing his thoughts or topics of conversation, once he is around other people. This helps the player as a hint system.

Gotta be honest that sounds boring as hell

:fapper: in all seriousness though, looks to share the same gameplay mechanics as indigo prophecy, so im interested.

[Shreds_of_Flesh]

http://www.joystiq.com/2010/01/28/heavy-rain-demo-lands-worldwide-february-11/ Demo on Feb 11 :2thumbs:

[FrighT MasteR]

I'll be checkin the demo. I've always been a fan of story-driven games, just haven't found many good ones that I like.

[Shreds_of_Flesh]

http://kotaku.com/5464839/want-the-heavy-rain-demo-right-now-heres-how :yes:

[FrighT MasteR]

The precint 52 site just keeps loading :nervouswreck:

[FrighT MasteR]

Got my code but the F'n thing doesn't work when I try to redeem it :nervouswreck:

[FrighT MasteR]

Created a UK sony account and redeemed the code. I'm now slowly downloading the demo :pcjerk:

[Shreds_of_Flesh]

Sweet, mines almost done :D

[FrighT MasteR]

Played the demo -- really interesting game, but still dunno if it's something I want to pick up or not. I like the approach its taking with the story-mode gameplay, but some of it seems like it might become irritating down the line. I'll likely wait for reviews to come in before I decide whether or not I wanna get it. :hmmm:

[Shreds_of_Flesh]

Some site already gave it a 6......but they also gave Mass Effect 2 a 7 so F that site

[FrighT MasteR]

but they also gave Mass Effect 2 a 7

:mad:

[slasherman]

Just rented this, getting ready to get into it, I will post my impressions, i keep hearing good things

[FrighT MasteR]

I'm still debating on getting it for the time being :whew:

[steelba]

I'm still debating on getting it for the time being :whew:
why don't you debate on not being bitch :starefreak:

[FrighT MasteR]

:rolleyes:

[slasherman]

i've played through a couple hours, and i've gotta say its really good. way better than i expected. Voice acting is pretty good, and the control scheme is pretty cool. Walking takes a while to get used to but, not too bad.

[FrighT MasteR]

From the reviews it seems there are quite a few plot-holes in the story :(

[beyond]

I don't know if i want it. IGN gave it a 9, but i heard alot of mixed things.

[slasherman]

I'm getting deeper into the game and the story hasn't show any real glaring holes yet. It's definitely keeping my interest and pulling me into the story and game. I'm real glad I picked this one up it hasn't disappointed so far.

[FrighT MasteR]

I think I'mma pick it up after I beat Bioshock 2 :whew:

[beyond]

bioshock 2 kickass and the online makes it able for u to stay.

[Galerian]

I think I'mma pick it up after I beat Bioshock 2 :whew:

Thinking of doing the same...but the Final Fantasy XIII release date is just around the corner so Heavy Rain might have to wait.

[3/6]

Chubby Rain :stare:

[Revenant]

Chubby Rain :stare:

your sig makes me laugh everytime i see it :lol:

[slasherman]

Just played through it for the first time... gotta say it was pretty awesome. I didn't really run into any big plot holes. A few things were a little unclear, but nothing that took away from the experience. I'm going to replay through a couple more chapters to see how shit changes.

[FrighT MasteR]

:rockin:

[slasherman]

:coolbeer: I was actually taken by surprise at how well this game was done. Everything made sense, I was sitting there the whole time expecting something to fall apart.. never happened.

[beyond]

okay i guess i'll HAVE to check this out. i'm goign to wait when it drops price to atleast 40 though.

[slasherman]

I just rented it, but it's definitely worth the buy. I would recommend that you rent it, because it may not be as good to someone else as it was to me. Unless you are absolutely against renting games, that's what i would recommend.

[C.H.U.D.]

Looks boring.

im against renting games because they charge 11 bucks where i live, and i feel as if spending 11 bucks just to rent a game i might as well buy it.

[FrighT MasteR]

I don't rent games, because I don't like having a time limit with'em. I like to play'em whenever and for however long I want :coolburns:

[slasherman]

These are all good arguments against renting. I still rent because I used to work at the video store I currently rent from, they usually give me deals and don't charge me late fees lol, and Im super broke. Played through it one time, then played through again from about a third of the way through, got a totally different ending. I really dig this game but had to take it back today :mecry:

[Shreds_of_Flesh]

Looks boring.

:dance2:

I have it but haven't tried it yet. I will soon though.

[FrighT MasteR]

I think I might use my amazon promotion to get this game. I got a $10 off any game discount after pre-ordering bioshock :dance4:

[strtfghtr]

fully nude glitch...giggity giggity :fapper2:

it was only a matter of time

[FrighT MasteR]

Must purchase game!! :fapper::fapper2:

[C.H.U.D.]

If you guys don't like renting, just get Gamefly. I just signed up for it. It's only $16/month for unlimited game rentals (1 game at a time). I just beat Dante's Inferno, shipped it back, and am now waiting for Bayonetta to arrive in my mailbox. :mummy:

[FrighT MasteR]

F gamefly

Just ordered Heavy Rain from Amazon for $44 bucks :fapper::fapper2:

[Shreds_of_Flesh]
