New Line Cinema has optioned the rights for a film adaptation of the PS3 title Heavy Rain.

According to Joystiq, the studio acquired the license in May 2006, shortly after a casting trailer for the game was shown at E3.

Developed by Quantic Dream, Heavy Rain has been heralded as "interactive fiction". Its storyline follows four characters as the track a serial murderer known as the Origami Killer.

The game features a unique control scheme, using a trigger button for movement and the analogue stick to control the position of the character's head. Set pieces are carried out through "context sensitive" actions or quick time events. Players can also access their characters' thoughts at the push of a button.

Published by Sony, Heavy Rain is available for PS3 now.

(Minor GAME Complaint - Once again Sony puts out another game a lot of people thought Ingame graphics gonna look REALLY REALLY good, but actually not really that good)

But it's a strong story/gameplay oriented game, so complaint about graphics is like I said - MINOR :)

I DON'T have this game yet (WILL when it's lower in price) but for those who are curious

You know we DO have a HR thread in the PS3 lounge.. there's really no need to post all these clips.

I made the thread because it was about a movie but yeah I didn't ask for the clips :p

Jesus all you people do is complain about what I post!

Yes it's about movie but I post clips to ONLY show what this game is about so people who DON'T PLAY this game can understand what kind of movie to EXPECT!

You think I post the clips to DISCUSS the game? :rolleyes:

OK, here's a post that's on-topic and doesn't bash JediXAngel. :p

A "Heavy Rain" movie isn't going to work too well, as the game is based on being able to carve your own story depending on the decisions you make, leading up to just one of many different endings. A movie version would be just one linear path with just one ending.

wouldnt be cool if there was like 4 different films given to cinemas and they decide which one to show, each has a different ending :laugh:

Well, thanks for not bashing, as it is totally Unproductive!

But you know our Blu-ray technology can have a choose your own story/path feature now? They may show ONE version in the movie theaters, but on Blu-ray hopefully you can carve up your own!

Technically, we already have that Blu-Ray in the form of the actual game itself.

I am just Happy anytime there is a video game-Movie adaptation now days. Frigging Uwe Boll and his minions have ruined the reputation, I am just hoping for a good one to be made to REPAIR the damaged Rep!!!

I just want to see ALL kinds of VG movies made (Fallout 3, Oblivion, Bioshock, Mass Effect, etc AND Dreamfall, Indigo Prophecy because these stories are BETTER!

People always Fear... what if they make another BAD one... well to me we should just have FAITH!!! :)

Well everyone here does have a valid point for not having high hopes for this. Hollywood doesn't have a good track record with video game movies, even is Uwe Boll isn't involved. Even the Hollywood movies based on gaming but not based on a game are usually terrible. "Gamer" instantly springs to mind.

There is always a START to success.... cuz MOST of things/experiments FAIL at first!

When you have a Success it goes EASIER from there, a lot of people are dumb (Uwe Boll) they don't know what they are doing, and unfortunately they are the ONLY ones doing them... Lord knows why BUT if we have RIGHT people involved, I am NOT worried!

Scientists doesn't just frustrate out and say "Hell with it, we tried 10 times it's time to Give up!" we won't have a future with attitude like that! :)

I believe ANYTHING can happen, it's just WHO does it is the issue. James Cameron takes on a Video game-movie adaptation or Stephen Spielberg I know it will be great!

    • Valve will finally let you build your own Steam Machine with SteamOS for desktop

      By branfont · Posted

      If you don’t get lucky with Valve’s Steam Machine reservation system, you can make your own Steam Machine instead. Valve says that “starting with the SteamOS 3.8 release, you can put together your own Steam Machine using whatever PC parts you want.” SteamOS 3.8.10 launched last week with a slew of updates, including “improved compatibility with recent Intel and AMD platforms.” Alongside that improved compatibility, Valve is giving gamers the green light to install SteamOS on their own desktops. In an interview with The Verge, Valve’s Pierre-Loup Griffais said Valve has been “rolling out improvements to [SteamOS] so it’s more compatible with desktop hardware,” including eventual support for Nvidia graphics. Griffais says Valve has “a growing team” working on Nvidia driver support for SteamOS, adding, “We’re collaborating with Nvidia very closely.” While he mentioned that Nvidia support might not come this year, Griffais emphasized that “it’s certainly something that we’re working on in the background.”     Subscription not needed: https://archive.fo/Tssfc Subscription needed: https://www.theverge.com/games/953411/valve-steamos-desktop-nvidia

      I thought they were supposed to reduce the amount of restarts needed to install these updates? It took 3 restarts to install this update...
    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it

      By Jdoe25 · Posted

      I know an idiot at work who is "Director for innovation projects" and inevitably has been tasked with following up on this whole trend of "AI and its work applicability". He recently sent out a survey on the topic, for the workforce to disclose their usage and attitudes towards AI. The survey was badly, sloppily typed out, the questions and answers (when multiple choices) were loosely correlated and, all and all, it would already be miserable in the times of MS Office Autocorrect alone. Then, I had AI responding to it all (on the open-ended questions) with beautiful, to-the-point prose after I provided it with minor but proper guidance, taking me under 10 minutes. All this to say that I am sure that if AI comes to replace someone, it will still be me, and the other idiot will still stay.

    • Microsoft fixes one of Excel Copilot's most frustrating limitations

      By Abercrombe · Posted

      Call me when you can say, "Find all duplicate rows with duplicate email addresses and move the duplicate rows to a new sheet", and Copilot can execute that and not give you VBScript to write to do it. If anyone thinks AI isn't in its infancy and the bubble is about to burst, try to do anything meaningful in Excel with Copilot and you will realize AI hasn't even made it to kindergarten in most use cases yet.
