The feature I've seen most requested and talked about is the inclusion of cross-game chat. Obviously, my habits are not representative, but then, neither are the people who have headsets and keyboards attached to their consoles in general. So it seems that cross-game chat to most people would be using the text facilities available with the control pad. In other words, messaging so slow, you might as well just send it to each other using the email-like messaging service already available on the PS3 anyway.

Heavy Rain is one of the best games I have ever had the pleasure of playing. Did you notice that I called it a game? Interactive Movie? Collection of Quick-time Events? Giant Cut-scene? Nope, game. Divisive it certainly is, brilliant it certainly is. For everyone, probably not, but what game is? It is however, inarguably excellent.

Dull.
