Heavy Rain Discussion: New Gameplay Footage Released

Luketheman5 · Posted: Mon Dec 14, 2009 12:53 am�� Post subject:

If it's of any interest. Bajo from Good Game is playing Heavy Rain right now, but he can't talk to me about it until Tuesday. He said to tweet him then. He did say this though on a tweet.
"Is being genuinely upset on some sort of level by a game in the first 20 minutes, hats off to Heavy Rain".

With that said, I think the EU boxart looks nicer. Kinda adds a sense of mystery, which this game seems to have a lot of.

I think the European boxart is quite classy. Simplistic, but serves its purpose no doubt.

Looks like the preview disks have been going out quite a bit.
Joystiq and Kotaku both have there own previews up.
I'm sure other sites will have them up aswell.

I can't wait for this game, my only problem graphically is that the eyes look so dead, it's wierd, because the eyes certainly look like they've been modelled correctly but they just don't seem to have any life in them, maybe there is truth to the whole people having souls crap that gets spouted.

^It's the lighting imo. The specular highlights and reflectivity/refraction of our eyes is very hard to replicate accurately in 3D. Modeling and texturing isn't so bad, but when it comes to how it reflects light and such, it's tricky to get 'right'. Also to me they look too 'straight', as in it's all very thousand yard stare. Eyes are never perfectly straight like that.

They have fantastic texturing on the skin though, looking really nice.

I remember my friend saying people will never look real in games, as skin isn't all one colour in real life, like it is in games. Then this gets announced. Can't wait for this, not enough story based games.

Frozencry · Posted: Thu Dec 17, 2009 12:26 am�� Post subject:

Skin is never the same 'colour' in games, there are several tones in it unless it's built to be a cartoony game. It's achieved by artists painting the UV's of the textures manually. I've seen it first hand and do it myself on my own work.

It looks the goods to me, after seeing screenshots of a game being released on the current generation I really see no need for an upgrade anytime soon

Looking like a great game, BUT, they have released way too much media in my opinion. They might aswell just show us the whole game, theres already a gazillion screenshots around the web, and a least 2 hours of footage, I'm hoping they haven't ruined the game for us is all.

I've got this one in my rental list, but I can't see it being replayable enough to be worth buying. I'm taking the hype with a pinch of salt - with Fahrenheit, everyone was talking about it being a truly interactive movie, when in actual fact the game was hugely linear. I also hope they've sorted out the wonky facedness issue that put the original trailer slap bang in the middle of the uncanny valley. Remember... this?

If Heavy Rain does follow Farenheit in that bat shit stuff I'll probably end up passing... that still gives me the creeps, I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight, knowing that somone might think I'm a dead body and start humping me :S

It wasn't Cages fault either with Farenheit.

Farenheit was meant to be a trilogy except they couldn't find a publisher at the time. Then they found Atari and they only agreed to fund one game.

Cage had to re-write the entire 2/3rds of the game, that's why it got messed up.

Heavy Rain will be my GOTY for 2010. I don't think it will rate highly though or sell a huge amount of copies.

Apparently the collectors edition will have a holographic cover with rain drops 'falling' down on the front of the case. I thought that sounded quite cool, I may have to preorder this one

Theres this new game footage. I am surprise so many games nowdays contains nudity.

Edit: Damm..any ways here r few pics

G3ck0 · Posted: Wed Dec 30, 2009 1:55 pm�� Post subject:

Video has been removed. And why does nudity in games surprise you. Games are becoming more like movies, more realistic etc, so it would happen.
