    I feel like this game is going to be a real challenge to market. I consider myself to be pretty educated on a lot of the higher profile releases, and I still don't know what to make of it. Anything refreshing and original usually will pique my interest, so we'll see.

    I'm interested. Who knows if it'll be good or not, but I like what they've accomplished visually. Now can they tie that to a good story and good gameplay?

    But normal people play video games, don't they?


    Actually, I think it would be quite interesting if our character in Heavy Rain could play Heavy Rain in the game world. It would also be interesting if they licensed out some retro games for this real person ton play.

    Absolutely adored the first game...up untill the AIs made an appearance for no real reason.


    If it had just kept with the slightly crazy supernatural aspect instead of going into batshit insane territory with the killer computers I probly would still be playing the game to this day.

    Normal average people... sounds exciting.


    But seriously, this could be cool as long as they stop it from being boring.


    It's the kind of thing some developers can fool them selfs into making horrible decisions with. "But it's realistic!" ok, but I don't want to play an adventure game where I have to brush my teeth each day.

    I'm not saying normal life in games *is* boring. You can make anything interesting and fun if you do it right and have good ideas.


    It's just it's easy to rationalize a boring or un-fun element because it's realistic.

    This is the best news I've heard yet about this game. I so want a next-gen Indigo Prophecy without necrophilia, mayan tiger chase scenes and the internet terrorizing us through the body of a grandma.

    Hell yes. The "normal" parts of Indigo Prophecy were the best that game had. Then it turned into Dance Dance Matrix.

    This type of game will not appear to that big of a fanbase. I doubt people will buy it, at least those alien games have replay value via multiplayer. I can't imagine playing this once, then going back to it. See: MGS4.

    @collusioned: Fully agree. Real life sucks and is boring, that's why we play video games. I am someone real and I already have my own life that I have to pay for. I don't want to pay to have a real life as someone fake. So it's Home but really realistic. That's stupid. No one will play this game if you advertise it as real life. At that point it's just an interactive CGI movie and if it's not done by Pixar, it will probably be horrible.
