Heavy Rain Cut Into Spoilerific 3 Hour Movie


If you don't feel like playing Heavy Rain, but still want to get depressed, just watch this lengthy movie instead.

Quantic Dream's PlayStation 3 [http://www.amazon.com/Heavy-Rain-Playstation-3/dp/B002CZ38KA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1298560251&sr=8-1], a player has cut the game's segments into a nearly 3 hour movie.

Now, without even having to pick up a controller, you can experience the entire story of Heavy Rain. Watching the movie is not quite the same as playing the game, because Heavy Rain is unique in that it just keeps on going even if one of the characters dies. Whatever happens in Heavy Rain, happens.

As far as I can tell, the movie follows the "best" path possible, where all of Heavy Rain's characters live. Up until the end anyway, not to spoil the spoiler or anything.

The story is is definitely one of Heavy Rain's biggest allures, making the video actually worth watching. The only thing it doesn't express is the enjoyment of opening cabinets and orange juice containers in real time. For that, you'll just have to buy a PS3.

So will this be similar to how the film plays out I wonder? This is similar to when someone posted all the options on Youtube and put it up as the whole game for free =)

This is like a "lets play" I guess. Man, I forgot how much fun I had playing this game.

 

[Leg End]

Well, this may save me 60 bucks.

But... ehh, fuck it, I'll just buy the game.

I like, although I think it's a rather expensive way to go about it and so I shall just have to go without this pleasure.

Seeing as how Heavy Rain was about as interactive as a movie anyway I guess I might as well. Will save me the effort of having to press X every so often.

Watched half of it yesterday.

It was interesting enough, even though i feel that of all people in the game, Ethan Mars looks the worst graphically and has the most awkward animations. Yet he is the one the gamer spends the most time with, it seems.

I would say buy it for the whole experience if you have the option. It really is a great tale, but even better when your choices can affect the outcomes.

Simply watching the "best" story doesn't do the game justice. In just a few replies, I've noticed people operating under the assumption that this is a linear story with quicktime events. They would be wrong. It plays rather different if the "main" protagonist konks out early, for example. And then there's soooo many choices in the interim. Of course, once you know the story, replaying the game is an effort, since the story IS the main appeal.

I told myself, after beating it, that I will treat it like a movie. I will shelf it for a time that it's ready to be played again, when enough of the story has faded in my mind. Though, I won't have to figure out who the murderer is. That, my only complaint, doesn't change.

it's considerably more interactive than that.

If you own a PS3, and don't have this game, get it. It is definitely a unique experience that everyone should have, and it's likely we won't get another game like this for a loooooong time D:

But... I NEED TO BUY YAKUZA 3!

And 4 is on the horizon!

AAAAGGGHHHH, CHOICES!

 

[Baresark]

Haha, this is pretty fantastic. It drives me nuts how the voices are out of sync though.

 

[Ben Legend]

This is good for people who don't want to play the game. But I question why someone wouldn't want to play the game. Its brilliant.

 

[ComicsAreWeird]

Cool. But i´m going to get the game eventually. Dont want the plot spoiled for me. I´ll pass.

 

[Super Toast]

Is it still riddled with plot holes, or did he cut the stupid shit out?

 

[VitusPrime]

Well, watched it...and I enjoyed it. This was gonna be a game I was going to have to skip (Don't own a ps3). If I end up with a PS3 though, i'll probs get the game.

 

[Bwown]

Maybe the company could have just ported the game to other consoles as people OBVIOUSLY want to play it? Hah! Everyone knows console exclusives sell more right? Just look at the list of best selling games, oh wait...

Yeah, but Sony published it so it's not going to happen. Just like people who only own a PS3 can't play Mass Effect 1, because Microsoft published it.
