Heavy Rain

Hero sounds like a battered girlfriend who's afraid to love again.

I enjoyed the demo, but it's hard for me to get a feel for what the entire game will be like. I am assuming small decisions like whether or not to steal the $50 back on your way out of the whore's room will add up to story branches or different endings later on. I think what interests me is that it's different. It seems like almost every other new IP can be described as a mix of two other well known ones. I don't think Heavy Rain fits that mold.

I agree, the little things that you will or won't do are what makes this really interesting. After I spoke with the whore and I bumped into the guy at the top of the steps I'm pretty sure I could have just left instead of going back to make sure she was alright. I'll have to give that another go and see how it changes things.

[Yoshi]

You bumped into the guy? I had an asthma attack, and the guy walked past as I was recovering.

Indigo Prophecy had a great start that quickly devolved to shit.

If this game is like that intro only all the way through, it'll be pretty interesting. Less to no supernatural shit would be fantastic as well.

Should be worth it around the $20 mark after it fails miserably in a couple of months.

I didn't mind the supernatural stuff in IP early on when it was mysterious (like the opening scene), but it was when they peeled back the layers of the onion that it just became so apparently stupid.

"Indigo Prophecy had a great start that quickly devolved to shit."

This developer is the undisputed king of this. Omikron had a really good start and halfway through the game it went to complete hell.

[YellerDog]

I don't think I've heard of Omikron.

It's a kick in the balls

OH MAN the game with Bowie's face in it.
