Heavy rain was a poorly written mess of a game and there was nothing inventive or immersive about its QTE gameplay. In my opinion, his heavy handed attempts to manipulate the player/viewer fell short because it was blatantly obvious as to what he was trying to do.
I predict that Beyond will be even more blatant and heavy handed, and that the gameplay will be just as middling as Heavy rain.
(Anyone else think it was hilarious when Bolty catches a bullet in the face? Super is the only good or 'honest' movie Ellen Page has ever been in, and she still couldn't act worth shit in it.)
This is all my opinion of course, feel free to disagree.
