Honest Game Trailers Season 4 Episode 87 HEAVY RAIN (Honest Game Trailers)
- March 8, 2016
In the latest episode of Honest Game Trailers for season 4, episode 87, the spotlight is on Heavy Rain, a game that's not quite a game, but rather an interactive movie. The show takes a humorous and critical look at this intriguing title that has been around for over a decade.
The premise of Heavy Rain is simple - the player takes control of four different characters who are in some way involved in a series of events that lead to the kidnapping of one of the character's sons by a serial killer called the Origami Killer. The game takes place over a period of four days and each day is split into different chapters. The storyline is nonlinear, with the player's choices affecting the plot, leading to multiple endings.
The Honest Game Trailers team lauds the game's story aspect, which offers a compelling and emotionally engaging tale that tugs at the heartstrings. The writers also couldn't help but make fun of the game's heavy use of rain, which is a constant throughout the game. The show also highlights the game's incredible graphics, which were impressive for their time, but may not stand up to modern standards.
One of the game's biggest selling points is its use of quick-time events (QTEs) during gameplay. The Honest Game Trailers team pokes fun at the sheer number of QTEs, but acknowledges that they do add an extra level of tension to the game.
The show also explores the game's rather unconventional control scheme. The player must use a combination of button presses and analog stick movements to perform actions such as opening doors or punching people. The Honest Game Trailers team makes fun of the quirky controls but notes that they do add to the immersion of the game.
Another aspect of the game that gets highlighted is the voice acting. While some of the performances are solid, others can be a bit over the top. The Honest Game Trailers team makes fun of some of the more ridiculous lines of dialogue but acknowledges that the voice acting does add to the game's emotional impact.
Overall, the show has a lot of praise for Heavy Rain. The game's intense storyline, use of QTEs, and unconventional control scheme all make for a unique and memorable experience. However, the team also pokes fun at the game's quirks, noting that it is definitely not for everyone.
In conclusion, season 4, episode 87 of Honest Game Trailers provides a fun and informative look at the game Heavy Rain. The show takes a critical, yet humorous approach to examining the game's various aspects, both good and bad. If you're a fan of the game or just looking for a good laugh, this episode is definitely worth a watch.
