You really need to keep up on the Sony stuff if you intend to mock it. Heavy Rain was shown, and seems to have been quite well received. It was behind closed doors though, so not much has been reported.

Well okay, anything concrete about it? I showed my dick to Salma Hayek behind closed doors once and she was hella impressed.

Not really, just N'Gai saying that it wowed the crowd, and some 1up chick saying "wow."

Come on, you read GAF, there's a whole thread on the matter there. Which is somewhat amazing given how little has been said.

ngai said that if you were a fan of fahrenheit/indigo prophecy, heavy rain would be your thing. Didn't say more other that that he was really impressed with it

I hope Alan Wake still exists

Kid Icarus Wii, Pikmin 3, and the Team ICO game... really disappointed these weren't shown. Also, surprised I didn't see SO1 and 2 PSP pop up in the PSP game montage at Sony's press conference. Perhaps it was due to the S-E snubbing the previous day.

Supposedly, Heavy Rain is being showcased in Leipzig. Are you going to that show, Borys?

N'Gay loved a PS3 exclusive.

BIG SURPRISE!

It's racist because it portrays white women as being overly emotional and sensitive.

i don't understand why people are so jizzy over alan wake and heavy rain

i mean, can anyone even tell me what type of games they are, or how they play, or anything at all about them besides "wow those graphics in that ten-second clip looked awesome"
Title: Re: MIA: E3 08 Games
Post by: cool breeze on July 21, 2008, 12:24:49 PM
It's because the developers of those games made great games before them.  Heavy Rain I am still trying to figure out why people want, but it seems like they were going for some kind of deep emotional impact with the characters.  I don't know.

Alan Wake is made by the guys who made Max Payne 1 and 2.  That is enough to have me pumped for it.

I like the goals that the creator has set for Heavy Rain. Keeping in mind, of course, that the last time I allowed myself to be excited about goals set by a developer with a less than remarkable track record, we got Haze. So yeah, not hyping this one. Make a good game, then talk.
Title: Re: MIA: E3 08 Games
Post by: Eel O'Brian on July 21, 2008, 12:28:28 PM
but what are they about?

i have seen the same little snippets of these games for two years now, and i still have no fucking idea what the games are about, or how they'll play, or anything
Title: Re: MIA: E3 08 Games
Post by: Crushed on July 21, 2008, 12:30:59 PM
Alan Wake is some kind of horror action game where you fight with a gun and flash light.

Heavy Rain is apparently a non-game where you play as a woman's face.
Title: Re: MIA: E3 08 Games
Post by: duckman2000 on July 21, 2008, 12:32:31 PM
I have no idea what Heavy Rain is about, but I like what the guy behind the game has said about it, which is that it will focus on a more personal story, a closer experience so to speak. No clue whatsoever what that will mean in regards to the actual game, or what quality the game will be, but I think that with every other game being about the world in some form coming to an end unless I pull off some heroic feat, something more personal and human is a welcome alternative.

I haven't followed Alan Wake at all. I know the developer has a good pedigree, and it looks very atmospheric, but I don't know anything about the actual game.

Because I live in Poland not in Germany?

Europeans travel. It's what we do, damn it. If we didn't travel, the world would be filled with bloodthirsty hippies.

I just want my Alan Wake and Heavy Rain.

Seriously.  Wasn't Alan Wake demoed like 3 years ago?  I still remember the cyclone demo deal.  That shit was insane.

Heavy Rain will be sex.  Indigo Prophecy :hump :hump

Alan Wake is survival horror which is reason enough to be excited.  I didn't expect it to be shown at this E3 though.

And yeah, if they learned their lessons with Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy, Heavy Rain could be brilliant.  I don't have the slightest clue what it's about but that doesn't really matter.
