Do we really trust a BBC correspondent to be able to tell the difference between an industry-changing work of art and…. something a bit shit?

The amost annoying this about this, is no one’s really explained *why* this mystery game will change things so much.

I mean, presumably it’s not going to be in the graphics department because that’s limited by the hardware, so maybe it’s in the sense of AI or the art or the gameplay.

As long as it’s not some bloody MMO, I’ll be very keen to see what comes out of this.

Sorry, I should clarify my earlier post which was typed hurridly before I left for the Farnborough Airshow (woohoo). I have no idea if Heavy Rain is the mythical “BBC game”; I was replying to Paech1200’s reference to it.

Yeah, it’s Heavy Rain.

Which always reminds me of Bowfinger.

I have an acquaintance who worked as a contractor on Sony’s recent Gamer’s Day in London. She said she heard a comment from a Sony PR guy to a journalist which went something like “Heavy Rain will change things”.

On his blog he wrote:
“If the footage I was shown truly is “in game”, as told to me by the Sony PR people, then we could be on the brink of a step change in what games consoles are capable of in terms of story-telling and immersion.”

..story-telling.. immersion.. could it be Heavy Rain?

It think its Tears of Blood; the rumour of its existence was started just a month before GDC08 along with the rumor that it would be shown there…
