Post Heavy Rain
This is a game I'm very excited about and have been for years (in part thanks to the great game that Fahrenheit/The Indigo Prophecy was).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_Rain

Basically it's an adult game, but not in the sense of porn or shock horror. :roll: Focus is on storytelling, emotional involvement and so forth. Another key element is the non-linear storyline.

Anyway, just read up on it for yourself, can't be bothered with in-depth explanations today (tired). :( It was originally planned for the PC but is now a PS3 exclusive...lame. Let's hope it comes to PC soon. Not gonna pay 400 bucks for a PS3. :roll: Do they still rent out consoles + games for a weekend or so?

I refuse to buy a PS3, so I'm not even gonna look at this game until a PC port is announced. Did I mention I hate Sony?

I think you should bomb the Sony US HQ. No seriously. You should listen to me and the voices in your head. ;)

If I listened to the voices in my head you'd have find dead squirrels duct-taped to all your windows.

lol. I just figured it had rained squirrels that died on impact. And then it snowed duct tape.

I can't get over how expensive PS3's remain, tho. 400+ euro for a machine with fewer games than Xbox 360, more technical issues and less of an online platform? Yeah...thanks but no thanks.

It's all Sony... they're a bunch of bastards. They're still selling at a loss, of course. I think Sony's banking on BlueRay taking off this year. I hope it continues to stagnate and is killed off by HD downloads.

There are some new gameplay vids up at gametrailers. The game looks good and has somewhat disturbing atmosphere (in a good way). It reminds me of Fahrenheit. Damn, i have to borrow someones PS3 to play this.

Edit: Just noticed, its the same developer who produced Fahrenheit (or Indigo Prophecy for other markets)

Yeah, that was basically the reason I started following this game (that and some strong early footage). It's too bad it's a PS3 exclusive, because unless I roll into some unexpected cash that'll probably mean I won't be able to play it at first. And I am very, very much anticipating this game. :(
