Played with the sixaxis and the game flowed smoothly like a river. The game really grips u when it wants to 
! Love the father-son mechanics, always bring a wide smile on my face !
I will continue with sixaxis ! I am missing the well implemented vibration, but I feel controller is what the interface was designed around. Feels very very natural and effortless. With Move, it feels as if I am not the character but the puppeteer who picking up and moving the character around, making him sit and get up n all. Movements of the hand for the sake of movements , a lot of times.
@patsu: yes, I can reposition my hand n all, but that is where it all starts feeling forced and uncomfortable. A lot of times you don't know which movement is required next in combo with the present one.
Anyways, thats the way I feel. I had bought Move particularly for HR, but the way I feel, the smoothnes with which the control scheme fits with the sixaxis has not got transferred equally to Move. Its understandable as it must have taken years to get the sixaxis implementation right while they just got a few months for Move implementation. Also, if they had known about Move earlier they might have had us controlling different things in scenes than what is now.
Also, had I not had experienced the sixaxis controls in the demo, maybe I wouldn't have complained about Move. I would have just played the game without knowing how effortless and smooth the sixaxis implementation was. So, I think its more a matter of choice. I am preferring sixaxis over Move for HR, as I feel it fits better and most importantly, lets me dive in the story better. In other games, where Move is supported, Move felt better.

Yes, this is it. The DS3 scheme is button-based, so your actions can be triggered very quickly. The motion scheme requires the player to role-play the character's action. e.g., slide vertical Move controller from right to left opens a sliding cabinet door.
I finally rented Heavy Rain and I couldnt get myself to play through the first 3 or 4 scenes.
First of all the unobjectable bad thing: I dont have the latest Firmware (still OtherOS capable) and I dint bother to DL the 1.1 GB Patch (probably wouldve required FW 3.50 aswell given it adds move support). Which resulted in the game (I believe) trying to sync the achievements after scenes but constantly failing. Since you get the damn-useless-please-allow-me-to-fucking-disable-them achievements after a scene while the new character is introduced this resulted in myself staring at Shelby while he stared back at me for over 5 minutes... and trying to figure out what the hell is just happenening, thus probably having a similar stupid face expression.
Cue wasting 5 minutes for every achievement staring at faces through the game.
I liked Fahrenheit, particularly the beginning. You had a very clear idea of what to archive/do and could experiment withing the scene to get there.
On this game you get dropped into a scene with a timer, and you can just do pointless stuff for the most part. Whether you do it or you dont (I was talking to someone else while the game played out a scene for me, and the bad thing is I dint feel like missing anything). Theres no real idea on where you are heading with your actions, and I dont really think Im in control for that matter. You do an action and it triggers long sequences that might or might not be anyway related in what you had in mind.
I dont think the game will turn out anything different if I eg do homework with my soon or just let the slacker watch TV and hate me silently, or try to patch things up that apparently happened in the 2 years that the game skipped and I dont know anything about. for the later reason, well.. I feel rather disconnected if I just skipped over 2 years and now Im supposed to spring into action and care about stuff that happened without my consent.
Action scenes dint grab me aswell, I thought I was supposed to have some multiple options? Instead I get single triggers, without knowing the options that would result from taking or missing the opportunity. Whatever you call that its certainly no conscious multiple choices available.
Hmm, guess Im really disappointed by the game, it dint turn out to be anything like I expected it to be

showed the demo yesterday a pc gaming buddy: he was highly impressed and wanted more (unfortunately, I have borrowed the game another PC gaming buddy).
this game manages to put you in the scenery and atmosphere and mood in just about 60 seconds - great!
I wonder why we don't see DLC for this game, would be a perfect match..I guess so, at least!

what do you mean? they already have the first episode out. called the taxidermist for like $5. i enjoyed it but i hated how they used the same voice to play the taxidermist.
Thier working on another episode right now. but probably all depends on how much they sell, hopefully it sells good enough they'll keep making more episodes.

huh, the taxidermist was already included as DLC when you buy the special edition if I remember correctly?!
and it was used to demo the game, without revealing the main plot iirc!
but to be safe:
is it the episode with Madison, where you get into this house and reveal that the killer has all those women as puppets in his house and then he comes back and you have to escape?!?
or is it something else which I missed?
or is it something else which I missed?
so you didnt mean the quote literally then. thats what i was responding to, saying that there is.

well, you are right. for me, this scene was no DLC because I already got it pre-ordere bonus style.
but for others, it is DLC...although it is kind of old, as this was the first thing shown to public demoing the game...
I still hope there is some plot related stuff in production...but they probably concentrate on HR 2
