Heavy Rain (PS3)

Anyone have it/know anything about it?

Just been looking at some reviews etc and it looks interesting but I'm struggling to get the jist of what it's actually about.

Seems to have extremely good reviews though and they all bang on about a 'dynamic control system'.

Could anyone give some insight?

Looks good wish it was out on Xbox...think you get to choose diffrent actions during the storyline

Theres going to be a similar release on the 360 in May. It's called Alan Wake. Loads of hype around it.

As for Heavy Rain, think I'm going to complete Bioshock 2 before I get it.

This one?

Played the demo lastnight.

It's very innovative. The control systems remind me of those little interactive cut scenes in Resident Evil 4 and 5.

From what I can see with it, it's more like a very, very interactive Blu-Ray. Little bits of story, you decide which avenues you're best probing when asking questions, etc. Looking for evidence.

I wouldn't go as far as saying it's the 'best game ever.' One thing I've read on some comments on my PS3 friend list. But it's certainly original, and probably worth a pop.

Erm Ross mate.. I rented it for the second time... and just finished it.

It's like an interactive kinda of movie... but every thing you do can change how the story pans out.

It's a good game to be honest, but just rent it, coz if you stuck at it for a few days you'll finish it, and it's not one you'd buy anyways

But it is good...

p.s. the credits are hella long.

Sounds like a plan that.

Nice one Inert.

Not worth buying then...

I don't tend to buy games nowadays with only offline play anyway.

Unless they're epics like Final Fantasy or Fallout, I'd have to agree. Online does play a big part these days.

Be a bit wierd if Heavy Rain was online though. I wonder if they'll release any additional content? Deleted scenes type of thing?

You get a shed load of bonus material throughout the game. But just like making ofs etc.

And I take it back... you could want to buy it. Personally I wouldn't because the killer is the same in every storyline.

There are about 20-25 different ways your story can end. Mine was kind of depressing if I may say so

Just do whatever you think you'd do if you were in the situation. That's how I played it.

That's a lot of endings to be fair. Do you get trophies for each one too?

I tried to have a nose at someones trophy list and all of them except one are blanked out.

Yep different trophies for each one I think too

I'd reckon so... for certain actions you get certain trophies. So it would have to be different ones for different actions which change your story

I like it. Sounds good for a trophy whore such as myself.

Still, got enough games to keep me occupied for a good while. And by the time I'm done, Fallout: New Vegas and Gran Turismo 5 (potentially) will be very close.

May still be a rental/bargain bin job for moi!

Yeah, to be honest I doubt you'll wanna go through the same kind of thing 20 times to get all the different endings, would be rather repetitive.

Ahem!

Nah, I'm not that bad. Honest.

Played the demo this morning
Amazed









Just brought it

Just got this on rental.

How long will it take me to finish it? In hours.

Apparently about 10 hours, bit it can range from 8-12 depending how fast you are. At least, that's what I've read.

Jesus, about an hour gone and it's just all cut scenes.

Though very atmospheric fair enough.

That scan thing with the glasses you use when you're the busy is quite good.

Deffo a good idea to rent this actually. Might join Blockbuster again.

I bought this game when it came out thought it was like GTA it was nothen like waste of money.

I'm sorry, but if you thought this game was like GTA then you have yourself to blame for being misinformed there.

Finished it.  Really enjoyed it.  Popped it back in the envelope and it goes.

An ideal weekend rental game this one.

Nice one JD, think I'll give it a go too some day soon. How many hours did it take?

The tv ads made it look like GTA ?

Gameplay isn't even close to GTA though. Might want to look more into a game next time before buying it.

Dexter you getting on my Nerves I did look into the game before buying and it looked like GTA it never said you could'nt drive what it made it look like you could and it was just pressing 4 buttons. Pi*s Off.

They have to tell you you cant drive?
And relax dude.

YOU YOU.   

I kind of gathered that when i bought the game Dude.

Ive played i and finished it and i gotta say i really enjoyed and i got use to the interactive controls, when i finished it i played on grand theft auto episodes from liberty city and i was like this is sh*t i want to control everything like in heavy rain, i think more games like this will be coming out in the future, awesome game 9/10.

There is a game expansion thing yeh?
I think i saw it anyway on the PS Store earlier, anyone got it?

Nice one JD, think I'll give it a go too some day soon. How many hours did it take?

Top of my head.... about 10 hours?
