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!

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      Web search has been one of those crap ware that I try to get rid of asap. It's annoying and slow. It was a cheap way for Microsoft to drive traffic to Bing.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By WaltC · Posted

      All I can say is that think the USB G8 is better in many ways, and costs the same or slightly less. I wouldn't part with mine. It's even a big improvement over the G6 USB. (You can also use studio phones (up to 600 OHMs I think) with the G8, but I have to say that even relatively cheap 30-50 OHM phones sound absolutely great--far better than through most internal motherboard sound!) Considering the difference in these products I am surprised that Creative is still making the PCIe internal card versions. https://www.headphoneer.com/cr...ve-sound-blaster-g8-review/
    • I have really been nerding out on my desktop icons and feel compelled to share...

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I missed this when you first posted it, but those are awesome icons! I would normally prefer things to be uniform, but each of those icons seems to fit perfectly for the game! If I may ask though, what was your thought process on which icons are circular - MK makes sense - and which ones should be rectangular or square?
    • Microsoft Paint used to be my favorite Windows app as a kid, and it's still pretty good

      By WaltC · Posted

      What I like about Paint is using it almost exclusively for cropping and resizing images I get elsewhere--it's quick, easy and cheap... I keep it glued to my taskbar, in fact. Also, the clipping tool comes in handy, as well (hit print scrn on the keyboard and it activates immediately.)

      I still remember it fondly today. It was so cool to work in 64-color Half Bright mode and 4.096-color HAM mode (interlaced) when x86 was still in 4-color CGA or 16-color EGA low res. C= never realized what it had until it was far too late--the failure of C= was the failure of its top management. The C= Amiga was 20 years ahead of its time, I always thought. It didn't hurt that in only 512k of chip memory, the Amiga could preemptively multitask when Apple was still doing gray scale graphics on tiny screens and along with everyone else was doing cooperative multitasking (running more than one app at a time in resident memory, but you could only run one of them at a time--had to manually switch between them.) I had a ball with AREXX scripting running between programs that had AREXX ports so that when you sent other applications data and instructions, those running applications could process the same in real time to output! Memories...
