Yeah, but the 'playing' is essentially just watching cutscenes except you press buttons to decide which direction the cutscenes go in... >_>Cleril said:There are no cutscenes though, you play the entire time.
I've been semi-following this game and I must say I'm somewhat interested. Seems very serious and intriguing. Though it might turn out too boring if it's too much of an "interactive movie" and not enough of a game. Too bad it's a PS3 exclusive.
Still looks good to me. :3 Though...I do think the smaller choices are a little silly. Drink the orange juice or not drink the orange juice...pick up the watch or lay down on the couch...ok. It just doesn't seem like it'd impact the story much. But who knows, maybe I'm wrong. Perhaps the orange juice is some crazy symbol. xD
And even though I'm kind of backpedaling here, I still think it looks good and I'll definitely be getting it when it comes out.

That hasn't stopped a lot of other story-heavy games from demonstration why their story will be interesting, even ones that have big twists/surprises.Jumplion said:
I'm afraid that's just as broken a definition of "mature" as buckets of blood. For starters, boring the audience is one of the fastest ways to pull them out of a story, not a way to create immersion.
Second, actual good writing means being able to develop themes, characters, and ideas while entertaining the audience at the same time. People who think that it's ok for a movie have long, boring parts because it's trying to be "mature" are just trying to inflate their own egos by pretending to have more "advanced" tastes than other people.
Maturity comes from things like having complex themes and ideas and deep characterization. Not being stolid, humorless, and mundane.
Even Gears of War had demonstrated more genuinely mature storytelling in it's pre-release material than Heavy Rain, which is relying entirely on "Well, we don't have blood, so that must make us mature! Oh, and look, tits!"
The script for Heavy Rain is over 2000 pages long, make that of what you will. But aside from that, this game tackles issues like child death, drug abuse/addiction, home invasion, vigilantism, rape, murder, etc... While that doesn't guarantee that Heavy Rain will be more "mature", it does give a brief insight of what "mature themes" it's putting out.BloodSquirrel said:
Now that is taking things completely out of context. Those were 2 seconds of tits where the woman goes into the shower, that's it, hardly something to go "Oh look, tits! We're mature!" about. It's not something like GTA4's DLC where you see the mayor's wang only for the SHOCK value of "OMG, PENUS!" in a game, it's about as much nudity as a PG-13 sitcom.
I said before, I could be completely wrong, who knows what Heavy Rain will be like. But hey, if it fails it fails, and if it succeeds then it could pave way for even more interactivity within games.
That's like saying Ninja Gaiden "tackles issues like losing your family, revenge, and the military industrial complex". We know that Heavy Rain has some of those things happen in the game. That's different than there being any discernible theme attached to them, let alone ones well-realized enough to consider it "mature".Jumplion said:
As for the script being 2000 pages long, there isn't much to make out of sheer volume other than volume. Or, perhaps, the need for tighter editing.
Two seconds of tits that just happened to make it into the trailer.
I found a solution

I'll bring nationality into this, it's Polish, maybe the Polish are less uptight with nudity than America. Quantic Dream is a French developer, I don't think the French are as uptight with nudity as America. Just something to think about, don't know if that makes any point, but hey, just popped in my head.BloodSquirrel said:
As I said, the nudity in the trailer is that of a trailer for a PG-13 sitcom, no big deal. It's nothing like the jiggle physics in "Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2".
I'll bring marketing into this- if something gets put into a trailer, it gets put there for a reason, PG-13 sitcom or not. Nothing is merely incidental.Jumplion said:
