Yeah, this is getting banned in Australia.
OT: I'm not voicing an opinion anymore on this game until I get to play it.

I bet this will be Yahtzee's GOTY will the entire scene being a sequence of quick time events. Im alright with the occasional quick time event but this is just over the top. No thanks.
Congrats Greg, you have made my Quote of the Day.Greg Tito said:
OT: While that was cool and all, some of the movements and such didn't seem very fluid and nipped at the Uncanny Valley.
Are you kidding me? This is exactly what the industry needs. Something fresh, mature and innovative when everyone is busy spending their millions on making the same game over and over.Eukaryote said:
Your opinion on the gameplay is yours to have, but don't be so bold as to say this is bad for the most creative industry in the world just because it's different.
I really, really, really think you're over-reacting. You have the right to not like the game. Heck, you have the right to hate the game before you even play it. Whatever, I don't mind. You don't like quicktime events and seeing people go through their nightly routine, that's fine. I personally believe it just creates the atmosphere and sets the tone for the whole thing, but whatever, I digress.Eukaryote said:
But from there to saying that it's bad news for the "industry" (games? movies? interactive media?)... it's just too much. Heavy Rain is an experiment. It's coming from people who've done something like this before, but at a smaller level.
However, it sounds to me like you're worried that Shepard in Mass Effect 3 is going to have to go to the john before every mission or that Kratos will need to shave his legs in God of War IV, or that a future GTA game will feature full-frontal male nudity (oh, wait...).
You're worried about the direction "we are going as a medium". Which one is that? You're fearing that all games will become entirely quicktime events now? Or are you worried that games will try to build up atmosphere more? Or that games, heavens-forbid, evolve into the same crappy graphics as Heavy Rain? (I wish!)
I think you should calm down and realize that there are many things that are worth hating and insulting and generally building up rage points for in life, but a video game (any video game) is most likely not one of them. I can assure you, Heavy Rain will make the "industry" crash and burn.
I gotta admit, the towel scene was just a giant tumble into the uncanny valley. Other than that and the seemingly overuse of the sixaxis, I'd say it looks pretty interesting.
To tell the truth, I was always fairly nonplussed about them, but I can see where people can get irritated by them. As I've said before, the reason people don't like them is because they are essentially improperly incorporated into a game, and also dumb it down to "Press X to not die". I think it would be a difficult job to get over the idea of a quick-time event basically being "Press X to not die", but I've always been of the opinion that there is a way to build an intriguing and entirely functional gameplay system out of quick-time events, and I think Heavy Rain is a convincing step towards that goal. Whether or not I'm right in that respect is yet to be seen, but I am definitely going to buy Heavy Rain to see how well they've implemented it.TylerC said:
