Heavy Rain Nude Shower Scene Also Leaked

[Deleted]

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.

The sniper from TF2 would like a word with you.

So do the guards from MGS and Travis Tochdown.

Are you just scared that its a girl? Its okay I didn't know they peed out of their not-dicks too

Sure, that must be it. Thank you for pointing out my issues, doctor, your fee will be wired to your account later today.

You missed the point, youngin. I don't give a damn about the urinating process being realistically portrayed, my beef is with the fact that it actually had to be included in a game. For Christ's sake, when I play a game I want to see all kinds of things, preferably something not common or possible in everyday life, but not this - if I desperately wanted to see women urinate I'd type 'golden shower' into google, not buy and play a video game.

Well this one scene can't ruin the game for you
'Oh no she peed this game crossed the line I can't get the scene out of my head ahhhhh'. You may not like it but perhaps when we play the game the tone would be more serious so it is called for.

For the record, I am going to play it, if only as a rental, since I don't like being left out of the loop.
However, you seem to have missed my point again. Believe it or not, I've actually had a girlfriend or two in my life and I managed to accidentally walk in on one of them in the bathroom; why would I be unnerved by a bodily function, a simple biological process common to all of humanity? I am not unnerved by the depiction of a woman urinating, I am miffed about the fact that they had to include this in a game. When I play a game, especially one that's being heralded as the greatest thing since the invention of fast food, I want to experience fantastic and uncommon things, and seeing someone take a piss (regardless of gender) is about as common and mundane as it gets; I could just as easily put up a mirror on my bathroom door and recreate the same scenario with better graphics.
Furthermore, this is by far not the first and only thing to set me off Heavy Rain. There's nothing wrong with being proud of a game you and your team have put a lot of work into, but the level of pretentiousness David Cage exhibits is, for lack of a better word, infuriating. Seriously, have you seen the guy talk about the game? Have you read his statements? I get the feeling this man fancies himself some kind of modern god, and the more bullshit he spouts the less attractive the prospect of playing his game becomes for me.

Our quotes will block out the sun! If I wasn't on the Wii I'd shorten it, so sorry to everyone else wearing out their scroll wheel.
I guess I did misunderstand so let me see if I get it now:
You're saying that the potential epicness of the game is reduced because of the peeing which isn't excatly cutting edge. Especially now when we need games to push the boundaries?

Don't take this as flaming but you missed their point. They put that scene there TO push the boundaries, you wouldn't mind seeing/hearing pee in a movie so why not games? The guy is trying to carve new paths for games/interactive movies, at least thats what I think.

Oops, forgot about snipping the quotes, sorry... ^^°

Once again, the fact that the peeing is included in the game does get me miffed, but in the end it's just one more factor in a growing list of things that make me sceptical rather than enthused about Heavy Rain. I'll play it anyway because it IS something completely new by the looks of it, and it could potentially turn out great, but by this point the game will have to do better than present high-end graphics in order to amaze me. I also realize that the inclusion of the aforementioned bit is intended to push boundaries, but in my opinion this wasn't a boundary that needed pushing.

And no, I don't take your statement as flaming, you're making civilized conversation, which is the way it should be.

(I'll be back later, I have a lecture in 15 minutes.)

Damn, girl knows how to fight!

It was only after it finished that I realised that literally made me sit forward to attention. Nice.

I'm probably going to get blasted for this, but here goes...i actually enjoyed Fahrenheit. .

Blasted?
Hell, it's my #2 favorite game of all-fucking-time, and I'm doing allright.
There's nothing wrong with liking Fahrenheit, in my personal opinion, it was a work of art.

Me too! Its just that, unless you can wall-jump or shoot someone in the brainhouse, people dont wanna know about it. They dont wanna think about their game, they just wanna play it.

 

[The_root_of_all_evil]

Speaking French though. How could you!

Well all we need now is a bunch of 12 year olds with a chronic need to jack off and the game will sell bajillions.

They're busy playing another popular game title and yelling about it.

But shaking the controller to dry yourself off? That's gone past the uncanny valley directly into onanism.

It does make me wonder though. If you're identifying with the father in the first part (and the identification is strong because of the UV effect), then if you're playing the mother, surely there's going to be some strange Freudian overtones to this whole thing.

I bet we won't be seeing as much male nudity. If Cage could just grow up and stop being a sexist pig, I'd be able to take him seriously. Nudity and urination does not equal a mature game. And from what I've seen, it seems that every time the game gets really exciting, it ends up being a quicktime event. This can get old real fast.

Well, the Escapists are definitely smarter than that, it's just that the whole movie-game thing is not too popular here.

Those breasts just didn't seem real. I mean, breasts are soft, they move around if they're not supported. Hers just looked like someone had rolled them out of Plasticine and stuck them on her chest

 

[Galad]

Why is it called "nude shower" scene, when the "nude shower" part of it was the LEAST interesting? -_-

 

[azzamatazz]

i've seen better, no shit, the japs are years ahead when it comes to realistic 3d boobage lol, but they have issuses.

also, WAY too much "press X to not die"

 

[Hazy]

Is it just me, or do the faces seem vastly different from the video with the clown? They seem far more, well, real.

Possibly the better lighting.

Faces look much better when the lighting is strong enough to cast a shadow.

I know I'll be buying it...

What is this Uncanny Valley?

I couldn't tell if you were joking or not.
So, here's a chart.

The left side of the "valley" represents stylized characters. They boast some human characteristics, and this delights us, as they're notably fake with unhuman forms. (See: Wall-E, Mario, etc.)

But then... The drop. This indicates that the previously unhuman object has been added in such a way, that they now boast human characteristics. Which is bad, as they now look human, without being human. This can be attributed to the blank stares of Oblivion (You know the ones) or stiff movements, coming from a character that looks like you or me.

Spoiler: Here's a good example of a robot that has dropped into the Uncanny Valley

Here's a gaming example. [http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/images/dead-rising-screenshot-small.jpg]
[sub]Note the absent stare? That's a good indication of a drop into the Uncanny Valley.[/sub]

Finally, if we build past that, we develop a character that looks or acts like you or me. However, it is VERY hard to do. Only a select number of games, if any, have been able to overcome the drop. This is difficult, because it requires completely obliterating all bugs that cause characters to act robotic. Any programmer will tell you that completely removing all bugs is next to impossible.

I sorry, but the "game" is just a giant QTE movie.

While its nice to try and make an endearing, emotional experience, this is not the way to do it.

 

[CrysisMcGee]

This reminds me of dragons lair. Push a button to survive. Nudity is nice in games, though not really necessary. This has an artsy feel to it.

Looks interesting, but I doubt I'll play it until I read a review.

 

[Brotherofwill]

perhaps worst of all speaking French

Hahah, classic. I was going to watch it but phew...close call. Thanks for the warning.

 

[khaimera]

Not that this shower scene is why but this game is the first that makes me want a ps3.

What about all of their other great titles like God of War 3 and...uh...Duke Nukem: Forever

And maybe, possibly, kinda, sorta, Kingdom Hearts 3

Those games sound great, but they are not enouggh for me to buy a whole new system. In all honesty, heavy rain won't either, but thats because I'm a broke ass.

The Duke Nukem part made me laugh though.

 

[Zac_Dai]

So the game is going to suck because of what the burglars just happen to be wearing?

It's called disbelief, suspend it!

Ah yes, and the obvious satire of the post wasn't clear enough I see. Especially considering that the entire article was on the fact that there was a blatant nude scene in a video game (a perfect reason for any member of a certain censor-crazed government to get their knickers in a twist) and that I only showed any sense of shock and disgust at the fashion sense of the totally-minor minions.

The attached negative review was as well a satire of the fact that I have totally judged a game without any knowledge of the gameplay, story, or characters beyond the fact that the men wear ski masks.

A wee bit clearer now?

Lol, the classic "it was satire and you are dumb for not noticing" back pedal!

Anyway, game looks interesting but it seems there is a huge divided opinion over it.

Though its not my thing and I'd doubt if I would ever play it.

 

[ryai458]

looks like a boring movie and at the end I wanted her to die, really didn't like her, and the face is ugly and how many guys are in the apartment its hard to tell because they all look the same generic, heavy rain=fail, but thats just an oponion

 

[RatRace123]

I like the choreography, even considering the uncanny valley feeling, still I don't think any other games could do better.

I'm eagerly anticipating this, and it will either be another triumphant point in the games are art argument, or a failed experiment.
We'll see in a few weeks.
