Heavy rain review Ps4#
If you haven’t played Heavy Rain before I would consider it a must buy if you like the interactive drama adventure genre in the least (plus, if you already purchased Beyond: Two Souls on the PS4 you can get a discount on the purchase of Heavy Rain).“We’ve been in drought conditions, so the ground soaked up a lot of it but when you get that much rain over that short a period of time, it’s certainly going to cause flooding, and that’s what we saw, definitely in the urban areas here,” Huckaby said.Īcross the area, rainfall amounts ranged from less than 1 inch (3 centimeters) to over 15 inches (38 centimeters), said National Weather Service meteorologist Sarah Barnes. While the voice acting isn’t as good as Beyond: Two Souls, the story and chilling score soundtrack are top notch (and as I mentioned earlier the game is still visually stunning). I would probably put Until Dawn at the top of the list of games in the genre, but Heavy Rain still holds a red balloon in my heart. The PS4 is now fully loaded for all the interactive drama adventure genre games you could want. Some of the dialogue can be laughably bad and while it does hurt the experience just a bit (JASON!?!?), Heavy Rain still effectively tells its story and is captivating from beginning to end. When it was time to release another title, they made it a point to bring in some real hollywood actors (Juno and Klaus Daimler). Clearly Quantic Dream realized the voice cast and performance was lacking after Heavy Rain was released. This is the main reason that I questioned the order of release for these Quantic Dream titles. Any game that forces me to move the controller while I play brings back memories of the Wii and it gives me post-traumatic stress. I would have preferred an option to turn these movements off, but unfortunately there is none. My main issue with the controls is the areas of the game that involve physically moving the controller side to side or up and down using the gyroscope inside the DualShock 4. That’s not a huge problem for me, but at certain points I did find myself forgetting to hold it down. I don’t care particularly for the holding of R2 to walk.
Heavy rain review serial#
I would describe it as a suspense thriller told through multiple characters that intertwine at key points and revolves around a serial killer called the Origami Killer, I’ll leave it at that.Ī couple aspects of Heavy Rain don’t completely hold up for me: 1. I don’t really want to go deep into the story because if you haven’t played Heavy Rain it’s an amazing experience to go in completely blind with. You play as multiple characters and control many of the choices and possible survival of these characters (think Until Dawn but not slasher horror).

For those who haven’t ever played Heavy Rain, this is a must play experience.
Heavy rain review 720p#
Quantic Dream upped the resolution from 720p to 1080p and improved other graphical touches here and there (shadowing, lighting, multi-thread rendering, etc).
Heavy rain review ps3#
I have to say, Heavy Rain holds up to the test of time in almost every aspect, and in other aspects it’s even better than some of the newer releases.īack in 2010, Heavy Rain was one of the most gorgeous games for the PS3 and I have to say with all of the improvements made with this remaster, it’s graphics hold up to many current PS4 titles. Heavy Rain was a favorite of mine when it was released for the PS3 and it’s a title I was eagerly awaiting a potential remaster for. So I’m going to try and refrain from repeating myself here, check out that review if you want my opinion on the current gaming atmosphere.

Now in my review for Beyond: Two Souls ( here) I went on a bit of a rant about the current state of video games and the publishers taking advantage of the consumer with constant rereleases of older gen titles. Playing them in reverse order makes me miss some of the improvements made to Beyond: Two Souls but that doesn’t diminish the great story of Heavy Rain. Beyond: Two Souls should have been the second remaster released in my opinion because it improved on many aspects of Heavy Rain. This past November we saw the remastered release of Quantic Dream’s follow up to Heavy Rain Beyond: Two Souls, which now after playing both, was a kinda weird release strategy. Six years later it’s making a 1080p debut on the PS4. Originally released for the PS3 back in 2010, Heavy Rain really took the interactive drama adventure game genre to the next level. Now it’s time for the second part of Quantic Dream’s remasters for the PS4: Heavy Rain.
