    Did anyone else find the ending hilarious?

    I laughed for a good minute. The whole thing is so overwrought, this game is going to be amazing.

    Really though, I know kids wander off a bit sometimes but not to that extent.

    Also, one balloon for $2?

    Still gonna be amazing.

    Fucking kids. Anyone notice the huge telegraph of seeming evil in the video?

    edit: Jesus christ. Look both ways, you asshole.

    Also, what part of Heavy Rain is like The Room, besides the wonky voice acting and wrinkled face?

    You mean the clown?

    Clowns are spawns of evil, I swear.

    That's about it really. Plus the camera shots from that scene kinda remind me about HR.

    No, I meant how the camera kept lingering on that guy in sunglasses and the douchey suit.

    You know, I really hope we have an option for smacking that kid.

    Also, I can't be the only one scared of clowns.

    That is just stupid. Why would I want to pay to inflict that sort of arbitrary drama on myself?

    It was a generic character model - you see him go down the escalator as the dad goes into the store, then the same guy comes walking in from the right, gets on the same escalator, then comes walking out of a store to the left.

    And I swear that NOOOOOOO at the end was ripped right out of a Dane Cook sketch.

    I gotta say, I was (am) really looking forward to this, but that clip was just really off-putting. Everything looks (and sounds) so fucking awkward.


    Edit: I am almost open to the idea that this will be the videogame version of The Room. How am I supposed to take any of that seriously

    Sorry but that is not a way to build emotion. The kid is an ignorant little shit unaware of most basic knowledge of survival, he deserves what he gets.

    Except it was all believable. I wandered away from my parents before when I was a kid. I am lucky I didn't get kidnapped or something. Hell, I crossed the street before without looking. Its just a roll of the dice that I didn't get run over before I learned my lesson.

    Was it a Damn Tour?

    I really wanted to find some Dam Bait, but the Damn Tour Guide just ignored my Dam Question.

    I later wandered off and couldn't find the Damned Dam Tour.

    1) No clown is going to use their "real" voice to sell anything. It's part of the act or job to attract customers and using your joe-schmo, chain smoker voice isn't going to sell it when you're in that get-up.

    2) The kid's VA was pretty awful. I'm also in the camp that there better be an option to give him five across the eyes.

    3) This game will have me in tears from pure laughter if there's more drama like that. And I will enjoy every second of it.

    I mean, its supposed to be dramatic, its a game. I'll be expecting something dramatic happening around every corner. I also wonder, what if the guy had gone a completely different direction in the mall?

    Also, the voice acting wasn't great, but wasn't bad enough to take me out of the experience. I can totally see myself getting 'into' this game.

    You don't disappear downstairs and across the road in 10 seconds nor do you have to take your eyes off the brat to get money out of your many pockets. Sorry but while it may be a sad situation in real life that short segment made me dislike that kid and his weirdly blind father a lot.

    I will admit that the situation was almost a suicide.

    I do find it fascinating that when they first showed the game, I was blown away by the graphics. It seemed like an entirely different level from what I'd seen before. Now they just seem commonplace. Technology advances way too fast.

    I will personally take paid leave and drive to the home of whoever compares this game to The Room to kick them solidly in the nuts

    The comparison is totally invalid

    EDIT:

    By the way, the trailer looked like it was edited for time. It will probably make a bit more sense in the final release. The only thing that bothered me in the whole bit was the spotty voice acting for the kid. Luckily the scene can end with his death.

    Well, if we get the chance to beat that kid with a tire iron I'm doing it!

    Also, I couldn't imagine that feeling as a parent ... at the least, if I would turn around in public and *poof* my kid is gone, I'd have a heartattack ... most likely severe that would invoke lots of twitching

    Those of you who have a bad feeling about that gametailers mall scene should watch the E3 demo Cage gave. The one starring the FBI agent/junkie.

    The acting is a lot better in it.

    Yeah, there were def. cuts to give it a more dramatic feel. To me, it just seems like an awesome adventure game, Point and Click Style, but with an interface that's built for Consoles.

    I'm def. gonna pick this up.

    "Right here"

    As in I'm one of the people who doesn't know which pocket I keep cash in

    Cash starts in my wallet. When I buy something, whichever hand is free, that's the pocket it goes in.

    Typically I don't use cash though

    Anyone trying the online Heavy Rain game? They have a decidely creepy twitter account. I suspect it is the Oragami Killer descending into madness. They also had a series of youtube videos with buttons where you kept a woman calm on the phone. Soon we'll have forensics evidence from the murder she witnesses.
