Heavy Rain the new fallout?

R

raunchy

First time out of the vault
story driven gameplay, touting real choice and consequence, dark noir thriller, "not just about being good or bad, but finding the right balance"

check it out. if it aint more similar to fallout than the current fallout 3 ill eat my shoes
 
...and a possible PS3 exclusive.

I like Quantic Dream, and even after Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy I'd pick up Heavy Rain if it came out for the PC. However, I really don't think you could label Heavy Rain the next Fallout. If anything, it looks like they are building on the "cinematic" focus of Fahrenheit even more for this game.
 
I did not know that Heavy Rain will have a post apocalyptic scenario.
Or is only the gameplay from Heavy Rain the same as from Fallout?
 
the title was tongue and cheek. my intent was to make the point that this game could possibly have more in common in terms of story driven choice and consequence gameplay elements than fallout 3
 
The game focuses on several characters, and the death of one of them isn't necessarily bad (which sounds very familiar with what they promised for Fahrenheit back in its time) so at least sounds interesting. It's all about how they manage the whole "choice" matter.

Even when things got so bizarre near the end O:
 
I read a preview from the game this morning. The writer described a scene from the game. As I red the text I thought I'm reading a thriller :o .

You should know better than to get too into what people write about a game. If you believed half the "thrilling" stories that journalists and Beth developers have written about FO3, you'd have to honestly believe it's the second coming of Christ in video game form.
 
I remember this game being described back during the first E3 after these "next generation platforms" were announced. Some reporter was talking about this scene where a nearly photo realistic chick was talking while holding a gun to her own head. He was really intrigued by the video but couldn't hear what she was saying because of all the noise and couldn't find out the name of the game or whatever it was. He wasn't even sure if it was a game. He posted a pic and now this pic is on gametrailers video for this game. It got stuck in my mind for some reason and I remembered that dude right away when I saw it. Now that I know that it's being made by the same people who did Indigo Prophecy, I get it and I'm very disappointed. That "game" was pretty much an interactive shitty movie. This will probably be better but it won't be enough.
 
Considering how crappy Fahrenheit turned out, it won't be much more than a linear adventure game with the occasional button mashing and broken promises.
 
Wasn't that the adventure game with the insanely stupid storyline about colors and cyberspace and Aztecs gods and whatnot where the character basically died and had sex with a woman who theoretically had sex with a zombie and then was floating around running around with a little girl fighting some Aztec dude in John Woo slow motion while destroying the roof of a building and dodging bricks and crushing people with water towers?

Yeah, that game was really, really, really brain meltingly stupid.

Oh, and spoilers.
