Heavy Rain to be 'fully satisfying' even without DLC yet

Gotta love David Cage. He knows his cards. He's playing it pretty well too, if we go by this recent quote from him. As it seems, he's going for the route less travelled - one which forgoes having to rely on microtransactions to make a game "good."

Yes, Heavy Rain has already been planned to be getting DLC. Back in August, downloadable episodes were revealed to be a possibility. But what's important here is that, though Quantic Dream already has a couple in mind, they still want to give the game its bang for the buck factor. A quote from Cage:

Honestly, my focus is on putting as much content as possible on the Blu-ray. We have many plans for DLC, but I wonÂ’t work on them until the game is finished and fully satisfying. Games are expensive; my focus is to give as much as I can to gamers for their money.


Yes, that's good news for you, the consumer. Though of course, for one to call something "fully satisfying" - that's pretty subjective. For example, the game's playtime is clocked to last for about 8 to 12 hours. For me that's fine. "Fully satisfying," at least for me, isn't determined by length.

» Some one gets it on DLC.

I like hearing this from someone who makes the game. I should not feel forced to have to get DLC just to get the full game. Not all games are like that, but it feels like most only make half of the game and the rest are DLC. We will see how "full" this game will be, but it looks like it will be fun.

» Just guessing...

I'm guessing you're probably the kind of person that likes action-packed movies like Transformers, and never pays attention to the story.

» I saw the trailer...a 20 minute one...

it looked boring as hell. And how can they compress a 2000 page script to 8-12 hours? That's like 20 movies. Not to mention what little gameplay there will be...that should bump it up a bit too.



Sure, I'll get flamed for the reason that I'm not appreciating its story-driven premise enough, but hey I'm paying 60 bucks to play a GAME. I want to have fun. Sure, the movie might be good, but I could just watch it on youtube once someone beats this "game."
