First 30 min of Heavy Rain Gameplay - Can you handle it?
Brandon DavenportThe guys over at GamesRadar took the time to sit down and endure the first 30 min of Heavy Rain during one of their Live Streams, but what I discovered was that this game seems to be a little dull -- I mean, when I watched the trailer for Heavy Rain, I was instantly excited for the controller to be in my hands and my heart racing with suspense and action. I was wrong. This is like Sims 3 meets Second Life. Gameplay, what gameplay?
According to this video, the first 30 min consists of shaving, getting dressed, drawing a house with grease pencil, and other way-to-normal gameplay elements. The most suspensful moment is when you lose your son in a shopping mall, which is not that un-common these days, but you do end up managing to get hit by a car with your son is in your arms. The trailers seemed to make it feel like a film-noir, sci-fi style story teller, and I know it is, but the main focus seems not to be the "Gameplay" but the story and in-depth attention to detail, maybe too much attention to detail. I mean, QTE Shaving?
