Heavy Rain, the Quicktime Event heavy murder mystery game that completely changed the ‘Are video games art’ debate by allowing sexually marginalized gamers the chance to make a woman take a shower, could be coming to cinemas according to Deadline. Despite even the biggest fans of the game generally admitting it didn’t make a ton of sense.
The game has sold 1 million copies, and the deal is being closed by Bob Shaye, the guy who used to be the genius behind New Line until he lost his fucking mind and made The Last Mimzy, the cinematic equivalent of the Titanic captain urinating on folks escaping in life rafts.
In Heavy Rain you play four characters searching for The Origami Killer, who drowns his victims and then leaves a piece of origami at the scene; possibly he’s telling them they’re replicants. The title was mostly noted for its gameplay, some examples of which I’ve included below.

First clip is beyond tedious. But it weirdly makes the second clip one of the funniest things I've ever seen in my life. David Lynch needs to make this movie.

Egh… I hope this doesn't get very far. Whatever merits the game has as a "game" (which it barely it is), it completely fails as a compelling narrative. Its DTV tripe.
That this game is being touted as propelling the medium towards further legitimacy is pretty depressing.
I have a PS3 and can safely say that I have no intention of ever owning this game or that other dung heap Little Big Planet. I am quite proud of myself for that actually. BTW that 2nd clip is genius.
Keep playing WoW, Devin.
Who wrote the story for this game, a 17 year old? Jason got what he deserved. Any kid that is that ADD, or let's face it, just plain dumb, would've gotten killed sooner rather than later. "Jason! Dont climb into the Lion's exhibit!" or "Jason! Don't get in that car with that stranger!"
Um, so Little Big Planet is a dung heap #4? A DUNG HEAP. I guess you just don't like good things.
I second #7
