I've been eyeing Heavy Rain, but just looking at it, my feelings are pretty ambivalent. I'm open to the idea of a game that's not really a game so much as an interactive movie - a real one, I mean, it really does look like the crystallization of all those naive ideas from the early 90's that went nowhere (at least nowhere good) - but if I'm going to sit down to play a movie, is it a movie I want to see? If Heavy Rain were a film, I don't think I'd give it a second glance.
So, I don't know. I'm looking forward to hearing some impressions when it comes out.
Green Gibbon is my hero. He put everything I hate about this game into words.
David Cage is incredibly full of himself and always makes all of these promises that his next game will have extremely genre changing and innovative ideas. It never works out that way, and that's what happens when developers overhype themselves. To me, the guy's just a wannabe Molyneaux.
The guy writes like a pretentious douche who makes made for TV thrillers for the USA Network. Also none of the character designs or animation are realistic or revolutionary. In all of the gameplay videos, people just look like they came from Playstation home and move around and emote like they are cursed with down syndrome.
There's better things to waste $60 on.
