So, recently the gaming world has been going absolutely crazy over Heavy Rain, Sony's newest exclusive. Now, I don't know, maybe this is my usual hype aversion kicking in, but really, what's so impressive about it?
No, no, hear me out. My information has been based on previews I've read online that have described, very basically, a movie-like game that I should already know loads about. There's something about a serial killer, and a weird control system? Maybe? That's all I know. But everything I've heard so far says to me "really, this level of hype for a glorified interactive movie?"
But maybe the previews have just done a bad job of describing things to me. Maybe the weird control system I've heard about is actually surprisingly intuitive. Maybe it's not just a glorified string of quick time events and is, in fact, an enjoyable game. Maybe it isn't the tech demo it currently sounds like to me.
Only way to solve this dilemma. Since I'm not one to badmouth a game until I've played it, I'm downloading the demo. And when I've played it, I shall report back and let you know what I think.
If it doesn't take 2 hours to download like it's claiming, that is. Seriously, 2 hours? That's not right, surely?
