I was surprised no one commented on this earlier, once I saw the bonus content I was IMDB'in. For one of the few times I think the actress is actually better looking than her CG counterpart and does her a disservice.

And Antec....

If I remember correctly they downplayed the FBI involvement in the press conference and did not mention a name. I must be missing a scene that triggers this meeting, much like the explanation of the poison.

Re: Heavy Rain (PS3)

Man i want to play through this again to get some different endings, but I've been holding off because i want to play it from the beginning each time and treat it like a full movie.

Still, I'm hoping this opens up more games along the lines of what Heavy Rain did.

For me, one of the most intense scenes in the game was the one where you have to decide whether or not to cut off your finger. I spent like 4 minutes contemplating what to do before finally chopping it off.

Spoiler

I didn't hesitate. I gathered every weapon in the apartment and put it on the table first. I thought, OK if I were to chop my finger off what would I use. I decided on the ax. I didn't realize there was a piece of wood to chomp down on until the end credits.

The hardest decision for me was the Drug Dealer.

I'll just spoiler the entire damn thing..

Don't read it if you don't want to know the ending.
I apologize for the horrible grammar, in advance....

Spoiler

I'm at a loss for words. I just beat this game and I feel like the ending wasn't that spectacular. I mean, if I had played my cards right a little earlier in the game, then I'm sure the ending would have been spiced up a bit.

The father was locked away in jail (I slipped up and got caught by the police at the hotel), Jayden got knocked out by the big mechanic dude (it never showed me another scene from his p.o.v), and after Shelby walked in on me looking around his apartment and I escaped the fire...

I went to rescue the little boy, while playing as Madison. Shelby confronted me and we had a little chase and it ended up with me having the decision to save him or not. I knew perfectly well that there is a trophy for everyone staying alive, but I kind of figured I had all ready lost Jayden and I was also skeptical about giving Shelby another chance. I have given second chances throughout the game to a few and I thought my judgement was very good on them, but this time I just couldn't do it..

not only did I witness him betray everyone he came in contact with, throughout the story, but I also felt like he betrayed me (LOL), so I let him fall.


Good news ? saved the little boy and Madison and Ethan are still alive.
Bad news ? Shelby is dead and I'm assuming Jayden is. When Luitenent Blake puts on Jayden's glasses at the end, Jayden appears.. but I'm assuming he's still dead since they were talking about his funeral ? IDK

I apologize for the horrible grammar...

Re: Heavy Rain (PS3)

The demo was so awesome even though I'll probably only have the system for a month or 2 before getting a Wii (though after 2 disapointments here I'm wondering...) I went and bought this anyway. Luckily they had just got one in like an hour before I asked. Used of course,the oragami wasn't even folded. Guess they really didn't like the game.

goh, personally man, I would keep the PS3 before ditching it for a Wii. Or ditch this system that you have since it had issues and get a new PS3. The Wii is a nice system, but I would never give up my PS3 for it. I think you game heavily on the 360 anyways.

[goh]

Re: Heavy Rain (PS3)

Well if all I had was a PS3 I wouldn't ditch it for a Wii.
360 was the only system I had for the last year so yes it would look like I played that a lot more. Though after getting my PS3 back after a year and being disapointed by 2 of the big games I'm just concerned the same thing will happen to the Wii games I want. No real reason to keep the PS3 though.

Other than this game. This game is fantastic. It's like GH/RB for adventure games. Can't change what's gonna happen much but still feel more connected than the usual game.

Re: Heavy Rain (PS3)

Hearing everyone talk about what ending they got just proves what a masterpiece this game is. It also proves that achieving the trophy for seeing every ending might be the toughest one on the PS3!

This sort of fell of the map pretty fast. Did it lose its appeal?

Re: Heavy Rain (PS3)

I haven't played the game but I gotta say i'm not really all that interested. I tried out the demo; and even though all the reviewers are writing that the game is not one big quick time event, that's exactly what it felt like. the controls were clumsy slowly walking around searching for crap in the dark just got a little cumbersome.

It is a beautiful game and I'm really amazed with the presentation but I felt like i was watching a movie with a controller in my hand. I respect the fact that the developers included multiple paths to complete the game but, let's be honest, the average player will never see most of that work because they will probably only the play the game through once or twice. Since i don't have the time to play this stuff through multiple times I can just watch the special endings and cut scenes on youtube.

If i want to watch a thriller I'll rent 7even or Kiss the Girls. It really just felt like a technology demo for the PS3.I'm sure someone will tell me I'm wrong about all this but the gameplay demo just didn't sell me. Maybe I'll try it out when the price comes down.

I got a month out of the game. Pretty much all you can ask for in a story driven game.

It only has so much re-playability. That being said i'm keeping it because I enjoy the experience so much.

I just 'beat' the game last night and my ending was even worse.

Spoiler

I got Jayden killed at the auto yard, Lauren drowned in the car, Ethan got arrested, Madison was choked to death by Shelby, the little kid died, then Ethan hung himself in prison.

I'm not sure I could have messed up any worse. I was terrible at any of the QTE's that involved rotating the controller around. At least I didn't get Madison murdered/raped/whatever by Dr. Death I guess.

Strange that you didn't get another Jayden event after getting knocked out by the mechanic dude. In mine I woke up tied to the steering wheel of a car getting lowered into the car crusher thing, then messed up the QTE, getting him killed.

I'm now picking it back up from the first major challenge I failed, and playing back through the game making sure not to mess anything up.
