Here is a new video of Heavy Rain. Once again this video shows more than you may want to see before its release. Meanwhile we learn interesting elements about the storyline and characters of the game. That could convince some people that this game might be worth a look.

Anyway, good or bad, it'll most likely bomb just like every other title that doesn't fit into the blockbuster scheme.
Looks particularly good but gamers are a shallow stupid lot on the whole - it's also why Bayonetta wont command bigger sales than it deserves
Add some fps in there and it might find some success lol
Also, since when was snuggling a menial task!?
There's just too much wrong with those two sentences.
What an awesome game, the gameplay is superb...
Time to get a PS3 i guess?!
Too bad.
This statement is clearly faulty.
the prospect of a more grounded fahrenheit is awesome.
This statement is clearly faulty.
heavy rain looks to have more scenes akin to those times in fahrenheit when you could just chill out in your appartment and do any number of things, from jamming on your guitar, listening to music, drinking some milk etc. mundane tasks, but it made you connect with the world better then most games try. you felt more in control of your characters actions then any "action" game ever has imo.
for me, heavy rain is taking what made shenmue interesting, be the insane level of interactivity (searching through every draw and every cupboard and being able to pick up the contents of said draws etc) or the storylione, and stripping away the stuff that didnt work or had no reason to be there (like the crappy streets of rage style brawler sections you'd randomly come across throughout the story)
if you dont like these slow, narrative based adventure games, be it shenmue, dreamfall, monkey island, grim fandango, fahrenheit etc, then heavy rain most certainly isnt for you. but thankfully i love them. they're a great change of pace compared to the million modern warfare clones out there, and generally they make you use your brain a lot more then you would bashing a few buttons and making a combo. although those games have their place to. i'm just greatfull i'm an open minded gamer, otherwise i'd have missed out on some truley amazing adventure games.
