Let me see if I have this right: ya make a game that is less a game than a movie called Heavy Rain, which had a pretty ridiculous plot, poor controls and more potential than actual fulfillment, a game that despite massive promotion and hype barely managed to sell 1-million copies, so of course the only natural thing to do is convert this garbage into a movie that will ultimately fail. Correct? I thought so.

Heavy Rain has sold 1 million units since its release in February. The game’s combination of murder, rain and an inherent atmospheric gloom evokes memories of the David Fincher-directed Seven, one of the formative blockbusters at New Line when Shaye and Lynne grew that company into a rival to the majors.

Players hunt the “Origami Killer,” a serial murderer who drowns his victims four days after they are abducted, leaving only a small origami figure and an orchid on the corpse. The game becomes a procedural in which four characters try to solve the crime after another potential victim is kidnapped.

Unique has a first look deal with Warner Bros, but Shaye liked it enough to use his own money and not wait for approval to buy it. A deal should be sealed shortly.

Tron Evolutions is the movie-tie for the forthcoming Tron Legacy, which is itself a sequel to the classic Disney film Tron. Considering there is a rule of nature that states all games based on movies must suck, Tron Evolutions shouldn’t have much going for it beyond the name. Someone didn’t fill in Propaganda Games, because they are apparently making something pretty cool, judging solely from the screenshots.
