Heavy Rain Nude Shower Scene Also Leaked

[SimuLord]

As a lady, I have to say--boobies do not impress me.

Also, this plays out like some....kind of creepy fantasy. What was the point of her 5 seconds in the shower and her toweling down. I mean, really?

You have to ask? Say you're the developer and you know you have to convince the publisher this will be marketable. You're filling the marketing copy with all kinds of drivel about "feelings" and stuff that reads like chick-lit. Most potential buyers of a PS3 title are young, male, and behave like they're auditioning for a beer commercial. If you want to convince the publisher to greenlight, you have to convince them that there's a core among those beer commercial kids. What's the magic word? "Boobies."

I submit that's the entire point of that little exercise, in much the same way that a fair few chick flicks feature a love scene where the female lead goes topless---guys are more likely to want to take their girlfriends and pretend to be sensitive because "hey, you see (famous attractive actress name here)'s tits!" He won't say it to his girlfriend, but he might justify it to his buddies that way to maintain his cool factor.

Yes, I'm trading in stereotypes here (not trying to offend every woman on the Escapist, really!), but if I learned anything in Marketing 210, it's that marketing is all ABOUT trading in stereotypes!

I know why. I was just making an idle comment. I think it's silly but I know for guys that this is relevant for them. It's just not relevant for me. It doesn't make me want to play the game more. But I am not the target audience. So it's fine for them.

I know you were asking a rhetorical question---I just took it as an excuse for a few paragraphs of illumination for the viewing audience.

 

[hypothetical fact]

-She didn't use soap in the shower
-She barely dried herself so she'll be tracking midew around
-She put the same dirty clothes on after the shower
-She didn't use toilet paper or shake, whatever women do to keep urine off their underwear
-She didn't wash her hands after the toilet

This woman is disgusting. Also those attackers were incompetant.

Congratulations, Mr Cage. You've included urination into a video game - something absolutely nobody wants to see or hear while playing. Screw good graphics, Heavy Rain is turning into a laughing stock for me before it even hits shelves.

You can tell it is just a game because girls don't pee.

They just walk into the bathroom, stretch a bit, and walk out.

Do not question my beliefs! This MUST be true.

Why... yes, certainly. Nothing to worry about.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'll call ahead and arrange an appointment with you psychiatrist for the day after Heavy Rain gets released. Why, you ask? Oh, no reason... >.>

For something that is supposed to look like a movie, those are some really shitty graphics. The water textures that pop on screen, feet clipping through the floor, hair clipping through everything, jerky physics, 2d objects, looping sound, re-used models etc. It looks like a in engine cutscene of a late ps2/xbox game, or a roughly 2003-2004 PC game.

Also, common sense fail at everything mentioned before, storywise.

 

[ace_of_something]

that looks like a really boring game... 'shake the control to dry off'

 

[bartholen_v1legacy]

OKay, seriously. Heavy Rain is either going to be revolutionizing or the biggest failure of the decade, and it's only 2010. Who really wants to press a button, watch 20 seconds of animation, press another button, watch 10 seconds another animation etc.?

And when David Cage said Heavy Rain is "not porn"... blah. If he wanted to make a cinematic experience, he should at least had some decent camera work in the bit where the woman dries herself with the towel. That booby-shot was absolutely gratuituous.

 

[LordZ]

You have to undress her, fiddle the knobs, towel off, dress her and all that other nonsense but no wiping and no washing your hands? Is it because this is the French version?

Edit:

-She didn't use soap in the shower
-She barely dried herself so she'll be tracking midew around
-She put the same dirty clothes on after the shower
-She didn't use toilet paper or shake, whatever women do to keep urine off their underwear
-She didn't wash her hands after the toilet

This woman is disgusting. Also those attackers were incompetant.

I forgot about how she didn't use soap, shampoo or condition. She also didn't use a washcloth.

Another thing missing from this list is wiping down the shower after using it but mostly only women do that.

 

[ShotgunSmoke]

And the urination was necessary...why?

The fight was truly intense. What kind of bastard decided that this won't be released on PC?

And now I'm so very glad that I took French in high school

"There's someone in the appartement. The telephone on the desk! I could call for help. The door...it's the only exit out of the appartement. If I can reach it, I have a chance." amrite?

All in all, the video does evoke suspense and atmosphere like a good movie should. The fight feels tense and, beyond being um, titillated, by the visuals, I'm impressed at how well the action is portrayed in this cinematic game.

Wow, the movie sure is atmospheric, and the action looks great from a cinematic point of view, but the gameplay looks absolutely awful! It's just like those Dragon's Lair laser-disc games in the 1980s, where you just wait for the signal to punch whatever button the game tells you to. I thought people had written off that kind of completely-on-rails gameplay as a failed experiment way back then, but I guess not.

If nothing else, this game will be good for the development of games in general because it will show adult content in a more mature context which has been lacking in games up till now. If there's a game that might get Australia its R-rating in the near future, this could be it. But would I buy it? Hell, if the amount of interactivity in the final product is what is implied by this demo, I wouldn't even play it for free.

 

[gamefreakbsp]

I kind of wish I had a PS3. Oh and a Wii too.

 

[jimduckie]

gee a nude shower scene ? no shit , usually when ya shower it's in the nude , i'm still not buying it

as for the scene , eww she didn't wash her hands , usually you either pee b4 showering or pee in shower

Has anyone played that other game by the same company? I was considering getting Farenheit (a.k.a Indigo Prophesy) but I'm still not sure. I reckon I would enjoy this. Much of its gameplay releis on quick time events, but seeing as how they are used fairly consistently and work well for the sake of panicky suspense (the game doesn't seem to automatically end when you miss some of the events, like many other titles do) QTEs seem well integrated.

One thing I noticed though - the woman put the same clothes back on she wore before the shower and didn't wash her hands after the bathroom visit. Bit of a skank if you ask me.

Indigo Prophecy was a pretty good game with the same feel and intensity as this one... Until the plot degenerated into the stupids halfway through. Similar QTEs and I swear to god that apartment is the same as in Indigo Prophecy. At least the walls and layout are pretty similar.

 

[sramota]

That's the worst definition of "Heavy Rain" I've seen and heard...

 

[Sparrow]

*huge SNIP*

Urgh. Seriously, how much of this isn't fanboy talk?

I get the fact the QTE's span into a big, huge sprawling storyline... but they're still all QTE's. And therefore, I can't consider this a game.

 

[kibayasu]

I'm not sure its creator considers it a game either.

 

[ckam]

Also, boobies. That is all.

Well that explains almost everything in the video.

 

[Jory]

The predetermined animated bits didn't seem to match up very well to the walking round bits. A bit jolty and unnatural. Still, I wouldn't mind playing it.

 

[The Austin]

...What was the point of the nude shot?

There was none. She didn't even shower, she just got wet and than put her clothes back on.
Therefore, Heavy Rain once again lose interest.
