Just What Can Players Look Forward To In Playstation 3's Heavy Rain
by Randy SpurA game that is garnering a massive level of attention currently is Playstation 3's Heavy Rain. Hitting shelves soon, this game is clearly unique among its peers in the entertainment industry. Whereas gamers are used to finding the usual genres heated up and revisited, Heavy Rain is a game which almost defies conventional genre.
Playstation 3's Heavy Rain is certainly not a game in the standard sense. Best explained as a kind of 'interactive movie', the game plays around a sequence of events which are modified or affected by player decisions or input. Now, we have played this sort of game before, like in classic entries such as Fahrenheit, but never has it been attempted in such depth.
Participants will control all aspects, from everyday tasks to rip-roaring road chases. One scene even jobs gamers with applying a female character's makeup. Everything in Playstation 3's Heavy Rain is interactive down to awesome detail. As such, the game offers giant replay worth and various outcomes.
The sixaxis pad is also put to great use in this game, reproducing the situations onscreen to a high level. Terrifying scenarios such as an unexpected attack will see the controller vibrate and the buttons confuse themselves to mirror genuine panic. Playstation 3's Heavy Rain helps you believe you are actually in the situation, which is what most titles strive to do.
Doubtless Heavy Rain will split audiences. The pace is glacial at times and the lack of continual action will test gamers more used to conventional games. Conversely, it is a bold move into a new type of entertainment and may well light the road for more like it in the future. Playstation 3's Heavy Rain will doubtless provide many debating points when it is released!
