I would describe it as a suspense thriller told through multiple characters that intertwine at key points and revolves around a serial killer called the Origami Killer, I’ll leave it at that.Ī couple aspects of Heavy Rain don’t completely hold up for me: 1. I don’t really want to go deep into the story because if you haven’t played Heavy Rain it’s an amazing experience to go in completely blind with. You play as multiple characters and control many of the choices and possible survival of these characters (think Until Dawn but not slasher horror). For those who haven’t ever played Heavy Rain, this is a must play experience. Quantic Dream upped the resolution from 720p to 1080p and improved other graphical touches here and there (shadowing, lighting, multi-thread rendering, etc). I have to say, Heavy Rain holds up to the test of time in almost every aspect, and in other aspects it’s even better than some of the newer releases.īack in 2010, Heavy Rain was one of the most gorgeous games for the PS3 and I have to say with all of the improvements made with this remaster, it’s graphics hold up to many current PS4 titles. Heavy Rain was a favorite of mine when it was released for the PS3 and it’s a title I was eagerly awaiting a potential remaster for. So I’m going to try and refrain from repeating myself here, check out that review if you want my opinion on the current gaming atmosphere. Now in my review for Beyond: Two Souls ( here) I went on a bit of a rant about the current state of video games and the publishers taking advantage of the consumer with constant rereleases of older gen titles. Playing them in reverse order makes me miss some of the improvements made to Beyond: Two Souls but that doesn’t diminish the great story of Heavy Rain. Beyond: Two Souls should have been the second remaster released in my opinion because it improved on many aspects of Heavy Rain. This past November we saw the remastered release of Quantic Dream’s follow up to Heavy Rain Beyond: Two Souls, which now after playing both, was a kinda weird release strategy. Six years later it’s making a 1080p debut on the PS4. Originally released for the PS3 back in 2010, Heavy Rain really took the interactive drama adventure game genre to the next level. Now it’s time for the second part of Quantic Dream’s remasters for the PS4: Heavy Rain.
