The game Heavy Rain is due to be releases on 26th February 2010 and looking at the video's and screen shots I'm looking forward to this.

My wife isn't into computer games I normally play (Modern Warfare 2, Gran Turismo, Uncharted 2 etc)but I think she will like this one - we plan to play the game together so we can both make the decisions as we progress through the game.

Anybody on here going to give this game a try?

Looks interesting, and is certainly different. I'll probably give it a go just for the experience. Everything I have read indicates that it isn't so much a game, as an interactive movie.

Read about it in the gaming magazines 2-3 months ago.

Trailer looks alright:

Wanted to reply to this thread ages ago but laptop went schizo and couldn't then I forgot about it!

Anyhow, Heavy rain is not an interactive movie. You move the character around and decide what to do. It is like the adventure games of old. Yes there are fight scenes that play out like QTE (quicktime events) but these will still shape the outcome of the story.

Heavy rain will be one of the best games of the century so far. No modern game embodies the "anything is possible" mantra of the computer games of old.

The challenge will be in replaying the game enough times to see all the possible outcomes.

It's by the people who made Farenheight - which was awesome. This will be well worth a purchase

Played two 'scenes' at the Eurogamer expo (scrapyard as FBI, shop as Detective) - must admit up until then I wasn't too convinced. That coupled with more detailed hands-on reports that I have read have made me want to get it. Normally the story in games is worthless, but this game has been built around it, so if it's good enough I think it will be a winner.

I love games which have a story, rather than being made around the online!

I hated the fact MW2 was so short.

DEMO is out now - what do we all think - I'm loving it - have played the Sleazy place a few times, and loving the black eye, if you are not too quick to the rescue!

Reminds me a bit of a classic Amiga game, beneath a steel sky.

I might just buy a PS3 for this game as i like the thought of actions influencing a game over how many people you can kill in a minute...

I'll be buying this on Friday. Will be the first time MAG is out of my PS3 since I took it out the box when I bought it!

Played through the demo and was pretty impressed, I love the cop's enhancement glasses etc. Roll on Friday biggrin

maybe I won't be downloading the demo tonight then, as its just taken me half a fking hour just trying to sign on to the PSN then when i finally manage to get online with the fking thing i click on the Playstation store it tells me its not available in my country/Region

Im seriously getting pissed off with the this so called "next gen" console i spend more time going online on my PC trying to figure out how to get the PS3 online then i do actually playing games!!!


And breath madfurious


Anyway back on topic, looks like I will have to wait for some reviews on the game before I buy it, but the more I read the more I want
