convenience store got held up, i was sneaking up an aisle behind the criminal but i failed to catch some bottles that were falling down so he saw me

but you probably keep going, the whole game's theory seems to be to let you live with your mistakes

I thought you could fuck up so much that you die and then you control another dude/dudette instead?

and that's like how the story can be changed so much or something

Well you only get a few chances to fuck up, and I'm sure the later you get into it the less forgiving it becomes, but yeah the game would suck if it strung you up by the neck everytime you didn't press the circle button.

you get to play 4 characters and if you get killed as one of them, thats it, the story adjusts to it and youre done with 3 characters

if all 4 characters die the story ends there

well in that scenario you can fail at a ton of different points and the story still proceeds

watched a guy get shot by the criminal and get carted off by an ambulance, watched a guy try to beat him up but got his ass kicked

i was the only guy who got the 'optimal' scenario - talked the criminal down and got him arrested. store clerk is so grateful he gives me a bunch of potential evidence that i'm sure affects the game down the line if you don't have it, as in the other scenarios

The demo I saw was on the ps3, I have no idea if it's exclusive though

And I feel like if the game progressed no matter what, that would make the game really, really bad. Like, insanely bad.

pillow · January 2010

Besides like, the very first screenshots released what seems like a decade ago, that video is the first thing I've seen of the game.

Between this and ME2, I HAVE to get an xbox. I thought I was good on not having to get one for awhile, but apparently not.

UnbreakableVow · January 2010

Exclusive to PS3

Published by Sony so no chance of going multi

I've been jonesin' for a game like this forever, it seems. RPGs like mass effect, dragon age, fallout etc just don't feel natural in the choices like this seemingly does

I'm very interested in the kind of game this could turn out to be. How challenging are the, er, physical demands of the game ? My reflexes do not compare favourably with those of a parapalegic with Parkinson's, so I'd be concerned about actually being able to fully experience the game.

I was too, but I'm sure I'll get a chance to play it on a friend's ps3 or something.

I used to have a really great collection of 360 games, but unemployment took care of that rather quickly. I'm hoping to get another xbox soon for mass effect 2, and someday when games drop in price, rebuild what I used to have. I'm sure Bayonetta will be on that list.

i'm actually writing a noir text adventure that works off a lot of ideas i got from playing heavy rain

Artreus · January 2010

This game looks entertaining but isn't anybody else getting tired of everybody shouting "OH MY GOD THIS IS GOING TO BE THE BEST GAME EVER" when it is really just a good game at best.

edit: Ori, heavy rain comes out next month !

My narrative adventure game design document laid out a method for handling relationships and how that would affect the events of the game as it moved along a narrative path.

Raneados · January 2010

makes me curious as to what happens if you fuck up the more mundane tasks like opening that box

Artreus · January 2010

Also there has got to be a ton of stuff they put in the game if there is the option to keep going after screwing up. Instead of only having to write and animate/program/everything what happens if you succeed and just make you repeat it til you beat it, they have to do everything for failing too.

That is cool.

i wrote an article a while back about using text adventures to prototype gaming mechanics, and that's actually a central tenet of IF design

gotta spend as much effort on the failures as the successes if you want the player to feel like he's got a choice

Viscount Islands · January 2010

So is the crux of the actual gameplay just lining up lines with lines so bad things don't happen?

The storytelling looks superb though.

I am imagining doing mundane tasks in a game but fucking them all up slightly. Ripping your newspaper as you open it. Spilling orange juice all over the table during breakfast. Cutting yourself shaving and then dropping the toilet paper on the wet floor as you try to get a small piece to put on the cut

I am loving this game
