With Quantic Dream’s Heavy Rain coming out soon on the PS3, it’s about time we started seeing some serious marketing for the game, especially with the significant increase in TV advertising that video games have had over the last few months. Heavy Rain looks like it could be one of the best interactive experiences that Sony have brought to our homes (we’re steering clear of calling it a game too much, since this looks like it’ll be one that we’ll be watching just as much as playing) ultimately capturing the classic spirit of the Create Your Own Adventure books we all loved before we got into gaming. Some of us even had Mario ones…
[one lengthy, wistful pause later...]
We already brought you a preview of the game when we got a chance to play it, but now there’s a youtube series dedicated to expanding the world of Heavy Rain: have a look below, taking the role of a 911 operator, and see if you can keep your caller alive.
Heavy Rain is due for release on 26th February 2010, exclusive to Sony PlayStation3.
That was pretty cool. Welcome to the new site too
