both these games show so much promise and progression in game genres, the Heavy Rain Audition which was used to display the environment, rendering and emotive mechanics was breath takingly beautiful and I’m very happy to see that Heavy Rain hasn't strayed from its very obscure and open ended game play that was promised in its earlier stages, the project was kept so hush hush and the only piece of information I really had was "you could kill every main character, and still win the game. If one character dies, the game and story continues as the player controls another character.” that has to be the most inspirational concept of all time, it promises to be a truly cinematic experience.
Shadow Complex is a "Next-gen Platformer"; just those three sweet words send shivers down my spine. I love it whenever a new game genre is brought to the table, one day I will make a game genre... one day!!. the two creators Don Mustard and Cliff Bleszinski describe it as a Metroid style sidescroller modernized for a new audience, it makes me think of all the great games that could evolve into this new genre... old games from our childhoods such as Megaman, Final Fight, maybe even a slim chance at reviving sonic and even some indie games like Iji would transfer so perfectly to the next-gen platformer.
Oh how I love E3 and its wave of inspiration.
