As title states, has anyone put spoilers in the heavy rain thread?
I was reading it about an hour ago and there was talk of spoilers so now i have avoided it.
I would be pissed off big time if i read spoilers but i want to discuss the game in the lead up to release.
Yeah some smart **** will soon put spoilers in here but hey we cannot all be respectful, mature and happy within our own lives so we dont have to go around mindlessly annoying people.
And yes this thread does fail. So what bite me.

There was a 200+mb update and a lengthy install but it showed you how to fold origami while waiting (****ing superb idea).
The graphics are a toss up. Facial expressions/detail is good but some/alot of textures (walls ect) are very average.
I like the controls they are more than just quick time events.
As i said i have only played about an hour but they are mt first impressions. In all honestly the success of this game will be wholy dependent on the strength of the story.

Im getting this Friday reading what you said sounds good but is this more than an interactive movie? Plus have they sorted the controls from the demo? I mean i kept walking into walls and stuff having troubles at times getting my character to face in the right direction.

@ Dumbnutz, played some more now and i agree about the walking. Its very clumsy, i walk into alot of walls/tables/chairs/any interactive oblect. I cannot see why they would not just make the left analog stick move the charachter instead of hold R2 and use left stick to move the camera. Its not a game breaker but it is frustrating.
Is it more than an interactive movie? No not really (the fanboys are not going to like that one), sure you can move around freely but you can only do certain actions at certain times and it is all to progress the story.
The story, the most important part of the game. So far it is great, it's really picked up after the first hour and has me hooked.
Do not go into this for some hardcore gaming, go into it for some great story telling and a simple but effective gaming experience.

@ Westy, the controls are fine (although 90% of reviews have said the walking is not to great) but they could have been much much better. The walking becomes a chore (i actually thought while playing it last night it would be better if they just took the walking out completely) but then it would not be as immersive and the minor exploration aspect of the game would be gone.
The quick time events are awesome best i have ever seen in a game.

it should be....one of those type of games that comes out like once every 5 years i think (last game similar to this was Farenheit) ? not many developers have the balls , brains or $$$ to create something soo different....

Aaaand i'll be the first to say, i'm rather dissapointed in the special edition, looks allright and all, but it's certainly no mass effect 2 special edition thats for sure.

got it from EB games, all it has is a slip on carboard cover, it looks like the "rain" was made with super glue or something and there is a piece of paper in there with an oragami you can fold

and thats it.

it doesn't look all bad, but christ, mass effect 2 puts this special edition to shame.

I know the game will be absolutely amazing, but was really hoping for a nicer special edition, but there is nothing special about it.
