Heavy Rain: A Gaming Revolution

January 12, 2010 in Blog comments 2

Will Heavy Rain revolution gaming. Robert Lamirande at Critical Gamer think so and has written why it will revolution gaming.

So what do you think will it revolution gaming or not?

Heavy Rain, the Playstation 3 exclusive coming out February 26, is going to change the way people think about games. That's right. I said it, and I'll say it again: Heavy Rain is going to change how people think about video games (yes, even you) and it may very well alter the medium forever.

What is Heavy Rain, exactly? It's been described as an adventure game, along the lines of titles such as Grim Fandango or Day of the Tentacle. The game's story centres around a serial killer (dubbed the origami killer because duh, he leaves an origami figure with his victims), whom you pursue over the course of the game. Writer/Director David Cage has described the game as a "film noire thriller," while others have simply dubbed it an interactive film.

    I don't think this game is going to work out. If it does, I'll give them a standing ovation. But for now I suspect that this game i will follow into the trap that other designs similar to this have: there will not be enough interactivity to satisfy most gamers.

    To put it simply. No.

    It will revolutionize how storytelling SHOULD be told and even blur the lines between right and wrong (I'm sick of games that always has the "do good" option in blue and "bad" option in red)

    Though even after it's released not much will change. That's what I see though.
