Heavy Rain Is Not a Game

[sephiroth1991]

If ain't a game why they chaging £40 for it and not the usually movie fee

This game looks quite interesting but that guy isnt doing himself any favours with statements like that

I can see what they're getting at but it is just a long QTE really, except you're allowed to fail as much as you like. I'd still like to give it a go. It seems like a real interesting concept. Especially the whole, main-characters-can-die-half-way-through idea.

Games desperately need a fancy name to describe the pretentious stuff.

Books become literature. Movies become cinema. Games become...?

Interactive media? Sounds shithouse.

Regardless, I may as well just watch it on Youtube after its released. Assuming thats legal.

There's hundreds of "Let's Play" videos up on the youtubes. Don't see why Heavy Rain would be different.

It really aint a video game, since it puts you in a movie, a drama movie where all you do is choose to either "sit and do nothing" or pat an npc. Im not interested

Um, there's a bit more to it than that. Each senario has about 4 different outcomes, which develop the story in different ways. So yeah you could play it twice and have vastly different endingd.

You'll be in control of the character's every action! Including blinking and breathing during the cutscenes!
