Good news for the fellows over at Quantic Dream. Heavy Rain, a flagship PS3 title and one of this generations defining experiences has sold over a million copies since its launch in February. That’s over a million people who’ve pressed “X” to yell “Jason.” I’m happy the guys are finally getting a bit of commercial success instead of just critical …

Mark Carson, head motion capture specialist at CaptiveMotion – the company responsible for Xbox 360 exclusive Alan Wake’s Motion capture – has said the Quantic Dream PS3 exclusive was technically incredible but flawed. “It’s beautiful and brilliant but visually uneven at points, which unfortunately is the nature of the industry because of the scope, budgets and time-frames required,” he said, …

It’s Thursday which means it’s Zero Punctuation day, this week Yahtzee is reviewing Heavy Rain and… Well I don’t know really, I was up pretty much all night and then overslept this morning and haven’t even watched it.

Roger Ebert, famously, sits as the most vociferous opponent to the medium being considered high art. It’s something that could be debated endlessly and tirelessly from both sides. Tate Britain, the National Gallery of British Art, may have put …

Heavy Rain is easily one of the most interesting titles of 2010, if not the entire current generation of gaming. With it’s unique take on an interactive cinema experience, developers Quantic Dreams knew that Heavy Rain was a risk, with the possibility of being something great. I believe that it is the latter, and was heavily impressed once the credits …

Heavy Rain is out now and in case you didn’t notice, we really loved it. Being a game that keeps itself as close to a cinematic format as possible, the possibility of a movie was likely to be on the cards, provided that the game was popular enough to warrant its production. It looks as though someone else already had …
