Heavy Rain: New Screenshots and development footage*

Ah thanks for clearing it up. Graphics looks solid though.

 

Translation I picked from N4G, supposed to be from the Famitsu review :

The game has no "Game Over" !!!!!!!!!!
I think I should stop reading about this game now. This is some surprising info for an adventure game !

 

That info is somewhere early in this thread. If one of the characters dies, the game will continue with the others and you`ll get a different ending.

 

Played the demo on friends PS3.

Found the controls more anoying than innovative IMO. Others will disagree.

I just hated having to button mash to do simple things like get asthma(sp) inhaler. They would be better of by simply making the user glue 4 "Buzz trivia game buzzer controllers" to their body and just press those during (sigh) QTE events and exploration.

Making the old PI/Dick navigate around the dumpster in the alley pretty much highlighted my anoyance.

Like I said, Im sure others will think the opposite. (i did enjoy Indigo Prophecy though)

 

What are the differences between Indigo Prophecy and Heavy Rain controls ?

 

I thought it means no game ending in the sense the game can be played on after it ends or something. Maybe I just misunderstood.

 

Very very nice and immersive demo. Loved every second. Sure, there are some issues but overall it is quite amazing.
Indigo Prophecy on steroids

 

Well in Indigo Prophecy [fahrenheit as I like to call it] you had most if not all actions done through the analogue sticks, here its different you move with R2 & control the direction with L analogue like in a racing game. L1 makes you change the camera angles & every other button is used for actions that is prompted on screen...the Right analogue is used for movements while the face buttons are used for conversations.

Speaking of conversations its just like ME..ie you get a gut feeling & the dialogue to be said is expressed in one or two word followed by the face button required for that dialogue.As for QTEs..well it asks for anything

 

Eurogamer podcast discussed this, mentioned that there are multiple endings (and they really are endings).

They also said a review should be up soon, probably today.

 

Ya ! Infact I couldn't understand how an adventure could not have an end . I think it just means it continues even if some characters die.

 

.. what if they all die?...

 

Story over

 

Either some of them can`t die or you will play another guy, waiting 8 ingame hours at the trainstation while doing "conversation - games" ala Oblivion.

 

If there is the possibility that they all die then there will be a story arc that has been designed to reflect that. Its not like any character can just die at any moment, there will be very specific set pieces where this can occur, likely towards the climax of each characters story.

IGN review 9.0. Seems they liked it. Can't wait to pick this one up myself.

 

I can't believe ign give 8,5 to the graphic ... surely have its flaws but really 8,5 that graphic? wtf? How many games reach the same quality?

 

here you go if you missed these... pretty solid!

 

I'm bit ?? too.
IGN too gave it an 8.5 in that department.

Also I think they must have encountered one of those bugs I got in the demo, which prevented the textures to load into high rez mode

 

Yes IGN not eurogamer, my apologies, fixed now.
