Heavy Rain will definitely be something we haven’t experienced before, but Sony says it goes further than ‘just a new experience,’ it is, in essence, “a large departure from the norm.”
“Heavy Rain is a pretty unique concept in so far as it is a large departure from the norm. The range of actions that the player controls is extremely diverse,” Lucy Duncan, Sony product manager said.
“It throws down new gameplay challenges in that there are multiple plot paths to achieve the final outcome. In some situations, you may actually lose some of the key characters.
“Now we’re all used to just keep on playing that level so that character survives, but Quantic Dream actually want you to move on… and in so doing the story may unfold in a different, and perhaps more advantageous direction.”
She added: “It’s going to be a real topic of conversation when two people complete the game but have had completely different experiences getting there.”
I don’t know about you but Heavy Rain is a must buy for me; I mean, I don’t really know how it’ll turn out but it’s surely a game any true gamer would love to experience.
Experience it late February, play the demo on the 11th.
Thanks, CVG.
The more I read about this game the more i want to play it. It’s sounding better and better, and I am definitely picking this one up.
That makes us both man!
Make that three, can’t express how Febuary can’t come soon enough. And with all the different plot paths to get to the end, the replay value is through the roof as many gamers will talk to their friends and talk about how the beat it and what didn’t happen in my story that happen in theirs and vice versa. How can we fast foward three weeks, somebody must invent a time machine I need to experience this game.
