Introducing Norman Jayden

heavyrain0522_03
Quantic Dream released some new Heavy Rain footage. I can imagine the Limited Edition version will include a folded-up poster and those shades. I’d much rather have his necktie though – I can wear a tie for many different occasions; wearing sunglasses at night is just dumb stupid.

The vids shows off more of the QTE’s, something I despise in action games. I still have no idea what the fight between Leon Kennedy and Krauser looks like because I had to watch the bottom of the screen for those goddamn button presses, and Heavenly Sword’s is an exercise in burning off my patience. Heavy Rain is looking like it can fix the stagnation by having the button presses appear and then move with incoming/oncoming danger. It’s an elegant system since you can watch the action and have a greater sense of reacting to the action as opposed to waiting for the button presses to appear in its reserved screen estate.

Although I wonder why the baddie feeds Norman to the car munching machine instead of simply feeding him a bullet.
