Heavy Rain

This Casting demo was whipped up really quickly to be shown at E3. They've said they know they have a long way to go. I agree with all the criticisms, but still found it highly compelling nonetheless.

One thing that disturbs me, though, is that it's just a video clip converted into CG (or real-time PS3 rendering, whatever, doesn't matter). In other words, there's nothing interactive here, nothing that makes it a game. Hopefully their goal is to integrate these principals into gameplay rather than settling for just having the most indie movie-like cinemas in videogame history.

what the bump

Yeah, I was under the impression it was strictly a tech demo but if it actually will be a game cool beans.

It's an adventure game, dude. What do you want them to show?

The gameplay is probably walking around picking up objects and using them elsewhere. Not really trailer material.

My point was that Quantic Dream was going on and on about how they were going to bring emotion into games -- which is great. But then they just show a non-interactive movie clip. How is that a game? Because it's being rendered on a PS3? Literally, the exact same clip could have been shown at a film festival.
