Great! I loved it, just like Beyond two souls.
Really curious about their next project, hope it launches this year.

Awesome news! Have very fond memories of this game back in my stoner days, shit was so surreal.

Wow, that's way better than I thought. Good to see interactive narrative experiences doing well!

I liked this game. It felt unique. It had a great atmosphere and a completely (to me anyway) novel way of delivering narrative.
The only annoying thing was the weird French accents all over the place. Either hire actors that have/can do the right accent or set the game in France goddamit.

Well deserved! Really loved the choices impacting on the story with characters deaths actually affecting how the game turned out in terms of endings. I remember struggling to get the trophy for the perfect run of the "driving into traffic" section. Still haven't to this day.
It was also fun seeing how others played through it different and the many hilarious Lets Plays/glitches that came out of it.

I liked it. There were some narrative flaws and like most multiple ending games/outcomes not all the emergent narratives are equally good but it felt tonally consistent and had some excellent sequences. It also avoided jumping the rails to the extend their previous game did.
Deserved for being a risky title that mostly pulled it off IMHO.

Mixed feelings on this game.
Yeah it was something completely diferent and ok, the story was quite engrossing at times ( although the killer's identity is a bit ridiculous) but my god, there's like no replay value at all and the story never branches of in diferent directions no matter what actions you take.

They announced their game in 2015.

Really impressive for what is quite an odd, experimental game for a mainstream release. Good for Sony & QD. I didn't like Beyond 2: Souls all that much, but I'm looking forward to Detroit still.
Imo this is quite an incredible result for a game as "different" as Heavy Rain was back in 2010. Seriously, that sorta project aiming for a mature console audience was quite risky.
Same, I didn't enjoy Beyond 2 souls all that much and quit the game during the infamous Navajo Desert sequence.
It started out promising but the execution was poor.
Have very high hopes for Detroit though, QD games are one of a kind.

Loved it.
Had the ps4 version had the DLC that was on the ps3 version, I'd have bought it again!
The DLC captured a real sense of what I think Cage fully wanted from the game - at least I wish it was because it was perfect. Had the main game been more like the DLC, it would have been a masterpiece!
Still loved it though and I'm glad it's sold so many because I can't wait for Detroit

Wow that's impressive for a game that gets a lot of hate (some justified).
I'm a big fan of Heavy Rain myself, despite it's massive plot holes and ham writing/acting there's something that brings me back to it again and again. It still has an emotional effect on me whenever I play it and IMO the characters are pretty great (in a Twin Peaks kinda way).
Maybe its appeal is that it's a unique experience on consoles. The branching story-lines and multiple endings are something that's hard to get right in games and Heavy Rain does a commendable job of it.
I'm also looking forward to Detroit. I hope Cage hams it up as much as HR.

One of the best games ever made. Nice too see

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
If you video search 'shaun' on Google that's the #1 result.
I never played this, but its on my list of games to buy once I'm done with my backlog.
I was always surprised at how the critical reception went from "amazing game" to "trash tier overrated" so quickly. Even the reviews of the PS4 release were tepid. Do you think this was a response to Beyond?

As games have become more focused on the narrative elements and have seen a general trend up in the quality of writing, the glaring flaws become even more apparent. Same in animation and that particular genre through Tell Tale and other adventure titles. Plus the game is problematic in the technical department, with I think the PS4 port having some additional issues?
Doubt it has much to do with Beyond. I enjoyed both despite their shortcomings, but QD needs to step it up.
