Adventure Gamers - Forums

I apologise if a thread has already been created, but I can’t seem to find out. I’ve just seen this trailer and I feel that perhaps this could end up being an adventure game:

Of course, it’s early days, but I don’t see this as being the type of game where you combat monsters, but more like you solve puzzles to overcome obstacles and avoid capture (think ICO, but without the combat).

Supposing this does end up being a fully fledged adventure, would anyone else be interested in it?

Could be an interesting game. I like when Sony Japan goes experimental in some PSN games. Psone and ps2 had lots of these games on retail but the rising costs I’m glad it’s possible to find some of this stuff on PSN.
The concept and visuals are original, now it depends on what they do with the “gimmick”.

New Trailer

Confirmed Purchase, quite emotional.

Looks great.  I actually hate buying downloadable exclusives on the PS store (I never bit the bullet for Journey - kept waiting for a sale that never happened), but I think I may have to spring for this one when it comes out.

Rain will be released on October 1, 2013 for $14.99 in the United States. Pre-orders are opening today, with a music montage, avatar pack, and dynamic theme available as bonuses.

I tried the demo at E3 and it was awesome. My only concern is if they can keep using the mechanic for the whole game without it getting repetitive.

Check out the music in GamesCom trailer

Little late to finish it, but man what a ride. Simple , heavily artistic, genius concept,
oldschool, fixed camera and kafka-esque world in the end 10/10.

Liked it more than Brothers, my AG goty 2013.

I so missed hide and seek gameplay of clocktower, and haunting ground, glad to have it as extra bonus.

I haven’t been on here in forever (new baby) but I literally finished this up a couple hours ago and ironically was web surfing and decided to see what was up on the AG forums and spotted this, lol.

Absolutely loved it. It is a platformer at its core but none of the platforming is difficult and the jumping has a pretty good assist to it that non-twitch gamers will like. The ambiance and setting are exactly the type that would appeal to an AG fan. Highly recommended, especially if you like games like Ico, Journey, and Limbo.

Two minor complaints, the occasional frame stutter (seems to skip ahead a few frames every once in a while which is a personal pet peeve) and the fact that it is not a more developed, full-fledged retail release. I really wish this was a “bigger” game that gave you more interaction and exploration within the great environment…maybe in a sequel. But absolutely loved it and cannot recommend it enough.

Now where the heck is Haunting Ground on US PSN Classics!?!?

I enjoyed it well enough, but in terms of console adventures, I much preferred the likes of Stacking, Brothers, Contrast, Stick it to the Man and even The Cave to this.

Rain got a bit repetitive, and kind of lost the plot towards the end.

Great atmosphere though, I agree on that.

Crapcom future strategy is DLCs and Smartphones, they have Killer7 too that begs
HD ver or PSN classic…but no its Crapcom, they wont do it.

Yeah the game could have benefitted more from extra money, glad even now Sony
mobilized Acquire to finish it up properly, otherwise would been even cheaper
effort.

I dont mind repetitiveness if the concept is fresh and aint no one even thought about that.

Ill be blad if they release Blue Ray Physical copy of the game…......
I always prefer physical copies over PSN downloadable contents…......
