Heavy Rain play target is “8-12 hours,” says Cage

I really loved Fahrenheit, and whilst the ending was really weak, the game had some incredible moments, and I can't wait to see the results of Heavy Rain.

Its the late introduction of sci-fi that ruined it for me. Anyone can invent a seemingly in-explainable story up...then introduce sci fi and explain it all. I am not against scifi, I love stuff like heroes but it should be sci fi from the off.

Hotel dusk, well told mysterious story, no random sci fi crap to explain it all.

Looking forward to Heavy rain, love my atmospheric games

They did that in Fahrenheit didn't they?

Yes.

I don't think any story focused game needs to stretch above 12 hours, it'll just end up getting dragged out and diluted.

Something Fishy

I think this makes sense for a very narrative driven interactive movie experience.

Sounds fine.

I enjoyed both Nomad Soul and Fahrenheit so I'll certainly be giving this a try, even if it is only to marvel at the graphics. i admit that I am slightly concerned about the gameplay but that is based on a lot of fan reaction after the first trailer was unveiled. As long as the game isn't completely on rails I'm sure I'll like it.
