Heavy Rain perfected

[leady129]

Having just completed Heavy Rain, I, like a lot of people, thought that it was a fantastic game which pushed the idea of games used for story telling. Although saying that the controls took some getting used to is something of a gross understatement, I loved the ideas behind the controls so that they worked to directly aid the story. So I'm just wondering, what other games/stories do you think could utilize this style of gameplay or similar in order to create an awesome story driven game. Feel free to pitch your craziest and wildest ideas.

I know an AWESOME game you might like, it's a crazy and wild idea. You go to the store and you pick up one of these strange games called movies. They're slightly less interactive then Heavy Rain, slightly less, but slightly more ploty, slightly more, and they cost less too.

wow... you... totally destroyed the mood right there... And here I was hoping for some creative responses.

Haha! I like this one.

Yeah but I do have an idea, you could take the gameplay of Heavy Rain and just fucking hurl into Dead Rising. Just imagine being surrounded by zombies in a office. Nearby available weapons include a sparking copier machine, a staple gun dropped by the construction guys adding a new section to the floor, a ceremonial Marine sword you boss keeps in his office to show off, and one damn good pair of Timberlands to stomp some ass with. The choice is yours

Just imagine the amazingly grotesque violence that would ensue in that scenario.
