Heavy Rain Platform: PlayStation 3 Style 1-Player Adventure Publisher Sony Computer Entertainment Developer: Quantic Dream Release: February 23rd Back at E3 2006, one of the highlights of the PlayStation booth was an early tech demo showcasing an actress auditioning for a role. Her realistic facial animations nearly crossed over the valley, and this brief look made it clear that there was some serious hardware behind Sony's console. However impressive the demo, it didn't shed a lot of light on what kind of game Heavy Rain would be.
Over three years later, I've played several of the opening chapters and still don't know exactly how to describe it. Within standard game definitions, it probably fits in the adventure genre, but it plays much-more like an interactive movie. Not in the "Uncharted 2 feels like playing an Indiana Jones movie!' kind of way. Rather, Heavy Rain feels like a mixture of serious drama a la American Beauty and a murder mystery.
In-game animations and backgrounds are incredibly realistic, whether you're playing in the backyard with your kids or investigating a murder in a prostitute's seedy hotel room. Each area fits the mood of the chapter, from the initial cheery suburban life of Ethan to the grim and bloody crime scenes later on.
We have to think that the main reason for this is that the release versus the production curve as a whole played an important factor.
If you'd preferably feel like a competent father, you can feed him ceremonial dinner and tuck him into bed. Someone told me that they think this will be at the top of there game list this year, I'm not sure if I can say the same.
