“Game Overs are a thing of the past”: A Peek Into Heavy Rain

Sunday 18 October 2009 @ 8:40 am | By Sol 4 Comments

I had remembered seeing something from studio house Quantic Dream, about an Origami Killer. Aside from seeing the beautifully rendered screens and marketing buzzwords such as “innovative and experimental” it was easy to look over, much ado about nothing. Then comes the ingame footage and now, a developer diary of sorts.

It’s impressive. I don’t know much about upcoming game “Heavy Rain”, but Guillaume de Fondaumiere speaks above regarding the experience and focusing on the adult audience. Told via 4 playable characters Heavy Rain inputs every action into the overall storyline as you search for the killer. What I find most interesting are the statements of “game overs” being a thing of the past. This will clearly be a film like experience when playing, but I’m not sure how they will be able to pull it off in a neat package. I approach with cautious optimism.

Well, eventually you’re going to run out of playable characters to be killed.

  Then you just start playing as the origami killer. Problem solved.
