Heavy Rain [PS3]

[Myth]

I thought it was a really impressive scene, there was the odd hitches but overall I thought it was great.

The whole scene seemed really realistic when she held the gun to the screen after standing up.

[Rossco]

Wow, impressive stuff. Apart from the dodgy mouth..

[Wools]

Just as a slightly off topic (Well on topic acording to you lot! ) isint her mouth, her?

She looks like that with her teeth further down her jaw. As graphics get better there's less abstract looks with people's faces and more natural look's and it will now become normal?

I'm in favour of this. Although Lara is now more subtle with her looks & Snake is old it will now herald a new time where it dosent simply mean:

Men: Young - Mussles, skinny or fat.
Women: Young - Curves, skinny or fat.

Has there been any other mention of this anywhere since last May?

All quiet on there too, other than they're still recruiting for 15 positions.

[Fat_Bob]

it's still in dev don't worry, it just takes a long time to turn a tech demo into a fully fledged next gen game. just look at K2

[Family Fry]

Well thier web site is now under dev, hopefully see something new at E3
As they have given it a full name and sub title now..

Heavy Rain - The Origami Killer

Take it that's the official full name now, this game could be something special.
I enjoyed Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy certainly had serious potential, let down by odd storytelling at the end.
Now it looks like its on a nice serial killer theme.

I presume its not about some kid putting paper swans out in the (heavy) rain?

[MiaBocca]

Creepy!

[Rossco]

Nice, be interesting to see whats happening with this. Hopefully get some word soon.

[Concept]

Nice poster.

I was initially critical of the poor body and lip sync animation in the tech demo, then I learned they'd knocked both the engine and the trailer in the space of a couple of months.

Despite the last third (where the game committed seppuku really), I really enjoyed the Fahrenheit. The controls were clunky and the stereotypes were jarring, but the design, narrative direction and overall atmosphere were in the right place.

Let's hope Quantic Dream don't pander to the third-person action adventure audience and keep exploring the adventure genre a little further. Not that I have anything against action adventures, it's just that I miss more character driven games. We've not seen all that many this gen so far.

Apparently this is now being published by Sony, so PS3 exclusive.

[Mr M0by]

Really looking forward to this. On the whole i enjoyed Farenheit, barring the stealth-by-numbers-sections that were forced in.

[EvilBoris]

Apparently this is now being published by Sony, so PS3 exclusive.

That should pay for Quantic Dreams' new mo-cap studio then

[Concept]

Hopefully we'll see some new media on this at E3.

Hopefully this will be as good as Fahrenheit!!!

It's always a little worrying with follow-ups games like Fahrenheit though...will they be able to be as creative again?
