Quantic Dream officially announces Heavy Rain

[Morgoth]

Here's a new Heavy Rain interview.

 

Read and feel the Love!

[Darque]

Whoa

 

That was "just" their first attempt?

 

I'm far more impressed now

[Dark_Raven]

Interesting.

[SteveThaiBinh]

It's wonderful that they're working on a new game. It's also good that they're not trying to continue the story from Fahrenheit. That would not have been good. At all.

 

The gap between what Fahrenheit did with motion capture and most other games I've seen was huge. The gap between what this game seems to be doing with facial expressions and, for example, Oblivion (which I'm playing at the moment) seems equally great.

[Morgoth]

Seems like Quantic Dream is now hiring full steam and revamping their homepage currently, which means at least Heavy Rain might have found a publisher....

With any luck, we will learn first infos sometime 2016, and then in 2022 we'll learn it was canceled (like so many other QD projects). Heh.

 

Edit: From the jobs description:

 

Heavy Rain is set in a realistic North American city (East coast) in a close future and is an

interactive film noir inspired thriller.

 

Now they should only see that they don't release it at the same time as Alan Wake.

 

Edit 2: Oh, I also found an interview with Guillaume de Fondaumiere.

I really liked Fahrenheit, despite the way that the story crapped out in the last 25% of the game. Although the "Simon says" button pressing game can go die in a fire for all I care. They were fun in the beginning but they wore really thin the further the game progressed.

[Morgoth]

Yeah, but there's no mention HR is gonna be like Fahrenheit. In fact, Infraworld got canceled last year because it's Fahrenheit like concept didn't appeal to the publishers.

 

But Noir and Life-like digital actors is always a good thing. I only hope they also bother to make it for the PC.

[Darque]

Infraworld?

[Morgoth]

Infraworld?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yes. You want some infos about Quantic Dream and it's (canceled) projects, you can visit this website.

[Sand]

I found Indigo Prophecy a fun game but it had no replay value. I say it as an evolution of the gameplay style that was first introduced in Dragon's Lair and Space Ace. Games like these are renters but very entertaining renters.

"Origami Killer"

 

So, am I gonna kill people with little paper-flowers and paper-planes? Or am I gonna kill these artists? English languge, vague language.

[Pop]

So Quantic Dream is making a Blade Runner game, eh?

[mkreku]

I like that picture. And my girlfriend loved Fahrenheit (well, up until the necrophilia). Hope this turns out good.

[karka]

If they make another pathetic effort to implement stealth parts, I'll pass it gladly.

I'm not familiar with crime/journalism procedures in Europe, but at least here in the U.S., killers often receive nicknames based upon specific repetitive features of their crimes called signatures or M.O.'s (modus operandi). Thus, I would presume the Killer here leaves origami at the site of his murders along with the body as a sort of calling card.

"How far are you prepared to go to save someone you love?"

 

This is, by far, the most overused tagline ever.

 

And the answer is always the freaking same.

I am prepared to go down the street with a frozen burrito.

 

Is that far enough?

[Tale]

Why the frozen burrito?

[Sand]

In case I get hungry. Think of the missions one can undertake to successful nuke a frozen burrito!

[Tale]

You get hungry just going down the street? Pack a sandwich. Eat a granola bar before you head out. There's nothing wrong with a burrito, so long as it's not frozen and it is bean and cheese.
