That is hilarious.

Deadly Premonition has now been added to my "When-I-Get-Around-To-It" list of games to play.

I started playing this yesterday. It's pretty good. And as a father with two young sons, the opening scene in particular got to me, I nearly cried. Heavy stuff.

No, Red.  It's called "Heavy Rain".

Alan Wake Motion Capture Expert Calls Heavy Rain "Visually Uneven"



PS3 exclusive Heavy Rain looks fantastic. Mark Carson, head of mo-cap specialist CaptiveMotion, told website VG247 that while the psychological thriller is "beautiful", it is also "visually uneven". Here's the quote:

"It's beautiful and brilliant but visually uneven at points, which unfortunately is the nature of the industry because of the scope, budgets and time-frames required," says Carson, who worked on the mo-cap for Xbox 360 title Alan Wake.

The specialist admitted that he does not own a PS3, but had "pored over the reviews and extended play video from the various sites." This doesn't sound like rabid fanboy, but rather, Carson trying to sell his company and his company's services.

"I would have loved to have worked with them on that project," Carson said about Heavy Rain. "I think we could have help with that. In the end it's a very different product from Alan Wake and I think everyone will agree once it comes out." And then the people who did Heavy Rain's motion capture can say how they did a better job.

Heavy Rain was released this past February. Alan Wake will be released this May.

Heavy Rain Sells A Million

Outdoing early guesstimates on its retail performance, Sony's PS3 thriller Heavy Rain has managed to sell over a million copies worldwide since launching in February.

The game's creator, David Cage, says pre-release estimates had the game selling only 200-300,000 copies. Which for a major first-party release with a big marketing campaign would have been a bit of a disaster. Luckily, then, it's managed to move over 1,000,000 units, with Cage figuring another 500,000 will be sold by the end of the year.

At face value, that's still not great considering the game's exposure level. But remember, it's a thriller, with a unique adventure game style that's not exactly common for big first-party games. Take that into account and one million sold is a great achievement for Cage and his team at Quantic Dream.

Heavy Rain Sells A Million

Good for them.  Maybe they can now afford an actual storywriter for their next story-based game.
