20 Something Gamer

At long last there has been an update for Heavy Rain! This video from 1up.com (viewable here as well as right here)

I know it's more of an interview than an update, but this actually shows gameplay, and that is what I have been waiting almost a year for.

So, gameplay-wise it looks a much more advance versions of Fahrenheit's, but with the X,O,Square, Triangle buttons coming into play. Seems you have to keep a look out for them aswell not just look at the top of the screen and wait for them to appear. 

Level design looks amazing, but really thats not much of a plus seeing as this is 3rd gen and is expected from most games now. 

Still no talk of a release date, and David is still keeping his mouth wire shut about the story, (BTW does he sound less and less 'French' each time he does something like this?)

Want this game so much.

Not only is that good news, even better is that there are 2 NEW DLC packs in the works for Fallout 3; Point Lookout and Mothership Zeta. No idea what Point Lookout is about, but I can guess that Mothership Zeta is about and alien invasion, given that the scout ship you find is called "Scout Ship Zeta", BTW I love the Alien Blaster, kills most Super Mutants in one shot.

Hopefully this example of 'sharing the love' will be noticed by Rockstar and Valve and any other company that sold its soul to Microsoft, if not, maybe seeing the money roll in from us PS3 owners will get them to give us The Lost and The Damned, and the Team Fortress 2 DLC.

N.B. I'm not biased against Microsoft, but getting a company to make DLC for its versions only, just doesn't seem right.

Decided to take a break from my revision, and this showed up on my youTube subscriptions. 

I really like Team Fortress 2, but sadly I only have the PS3 Orange Box version, which apparently will NEVER recieve the updates that the PC version get. I only got Orange Box because I didn't think my laptop could cope with it, but I recently got a copy of Half Life 2: Death Match and Garry's Mod off Steam, and they work quite well, so after the exams, (and when I'm in a place where the download speed is faster than 56Kb/s) I might get myself a copy.

Anyway, back to revision, I'll start again properly at the end of the week, and remember...

Spy Checking, It could save lives, and end theirs!

P.S. Speaking of Steam, add me if you like my ID is ThePhyonix

Id like to wish you all good luck.

Called it!

So here is some info I've found:

Time and Place: 15th Century Italy. 

Protagonist: Ezio Auditore di Firencze

New Abilities: Can swim. May possibly fly later in the game.

'nuff said.

Though sadly this isn't real.

Fahrenheit (or 'Indigo Prophecy' in the states) is set in present day New York City, in the middle of a cold snap. The opening scene shows a guy, Lucas Kane the games protaganist, sitting in a diner's bathroom stall, holding a knife, another person is in the bathroom, washing his hands. Lucas comes out of the stall and in a zombie like fashion, walks up to the victim and stabs him. Lucas then snaps out of his trance and realises what he has done. From there you have control of Lucas and the game starts. Using the games unique control system you clean up the crime scene and leave. 

You play Fahrenhiet by moving Lucas (or the games other 3 characters) with the left stick and interact with object with the right stick. During the games many action sequences, you will play using one of three methods;

• Two circles appear on screen representing the analogue sticks, you move the sticks in the direction indicated by the circles.
  
• A bar will appear at the bottom of the screen, and you have to max it, by rapidly pressing R1 and L1.
• A bar will appear at the bottom and a slider will start in the middle, you have to try and keep it there by pressing R1 and L1 to shift it right or left.

Fahrenhiet has Sims style mentality metre which measures the character's state of mind, and it is affected by you perfoming different actions, such as getting a drink will increase your mental stability, wereas hearing or seeing something bad will lower it.

The game is practically one long cut scene where you have some say in what happens, though you are raely left just watching the screen.

I recommend Fahrenheit to everyone, and when I do find another person who played it, they love it too.

N.B. I want to avoid using fan videos in 20something gamer, but this one was too good to not use.
