It's interesting and impressive, but I didn't feel anything...Honestly, I was hoping the guy would fully disassemble her.
Does that make me a bad person?

It should be noted that this video demonstration was done over a year ago, and the technology their presenting has advanced even since then. They're just finally showing KARA now.
Looks good, though I'm a bit more concerned if they can get more down on substantial gameplay than animation and story telling.

I don't want a Quantic Dream game. I just want this to be an actual film or mini series or something.
Kinda sad that this isn't connected, in a story way, to the game they're working on. I don't think I've ever been emotionally invested in a tech demo before.
Heavy Rain was indeed 'problematic' in a lot of acpects and far away from being a perfect experience. But it plays heavy on something that most gamers do not seems to care about (or are just unable to comprehend it), ladies and gentleman: EMOTION.
Somebody who played the game and the only thing that he/she remembered from it was this 'Jason, Jason' line, is truly pathetic.
It's true that the emotional message in this game is not on par with the other, better established, media, but just look at how ridiculous movies were in 1920's.
There's still a room for improvement, but hey, if you prefer clones of Mario, Master Chief or Nathan Drake just because there's no "Jason, Jason" in there, well I guess you deserve to be labeled as 'immature, prone to violence...' or whatever those people like Jack Thompson are trying to prove

@togusa : Well said sir, well said. I'm just tired of seeing this line. Heavy Rain involved me in its story (alas a bit flawed) and in its characters more than most of current-gen games.
Now when people criticize Quantic Dream for their robotic characters, it will actually be a compliment.
Does look good, hope Cage can stay out of his own butt long enough to make something good out of it.
I bought Heavy Rain for $20 and beat the crap out of it. It wasn't perfect but I did not hate it at all and felt compelled to finish it! With that experience in mind I can safely say that this interests me.
"I am entirely at your disposal as a sexual partner" - Ahh the future.
..And Holy shit when the "I'm scared" popped up...that video was pretty amazing!

This should make you despair even further.....i haven't even played heavy rain! That's right, I mocked something I haven't even played!
Who pissed in your cornflakes this morning?

Thank you. I just can't stand these constant bashing against every thing that has something to do with Quantic Dream.
If you hate Heavy Rain - good, that's an opinion. But stop posting this pathetic nonsense about David Cage etc. Calm down, see what evolves from this and then criticize.

@Togusa: Couldn't agree more. Even though some of the gameplay of "Heavy Rain" leaved something to be desired, it was still an enjoyable, thrilling and emotionally riveting experience. It was one of the best games of 2010, in my opinion, and I never understood the bashing which accompanied it.
Nor did I understand the bashing that was directed at David Cage, the man behind one of my personal favorite games of all time: "Indigo Prophecy." Quantic Dream's last two games were reminders of what an open artform video games can be if used properly, and were far more ambitious than a lot of other "thriller" games.
Quantic Dream is a talented, competent developer, who really doesn't deserve the asshattery people seem to foister on them.

It was cool until it got all Hollywood in the last few minutes. It would have been so much cooler if she would have gotten disassembled.

I liked Heavy Rain. I said it. I played the game with the assumption that my choices, good or bad, were my choices. I failed a few of the missions (driving, electric, got the detective compacted in a car) and I lived with the decisions. No resets, no nuthin'. It made the game more fun.
both tech demos made me feel more emotional than all of Heavy Rain. too many plot holes and bad writing to really be able to care about that game. and i had a lot of hope riding on heavy rain years before it came out.
Now if only David Cage would just not direct/write the game. "Heavy Rain" is just a miserable example of how to do storytelling. "Indigo Prophecy" isn't much better, either.
The man can definitely make games, though. Just leave the other stuff to professionals, or sane people.

Wow, that was an impressive video. I don't understand all the Heavy Rain hate -- It wasn't about about the gameplay. It NEVER was.
@sofik
And yet you'd kiss his ass all day long if something of his came to the 360.

That was cool. A good short story, but I hope Cage hires someone else to write his next game's narrative.
Pedrovay2003: Heavy Rain was about the complete package. An interactive cinematic experiance. I didn't find much to fault in the gameplay. I, like many others take issue with the broken narrative, poor dialogue and spotty acting. Oh, and please think of the children. Those horrid, creepy children.

Wow I can't wait to see what games this new 'PS3' they're prototyping for could pull off!
Really what the hell is the point of doing a prototype of this kind at this point of the PS3 cycle if it's not supposed to be representative of any larger project. It's a fine short film I guess but seems utterly useless in any other context.

For his next ground breaking venture into the unexplored land of eliciting an emotional response from the audience, David cage will stab a basket full of kittens to death. Kittens!
I found the video to be a little too rushed when it came to trying to be emotional, the transition from typical android to human (hair sprouting up in a second) had no development. It was a little... er... robotic shall we say!
And the subject matter is obviously well trodden.
Still, it shows some improvement.
Now can Quantic Dreams make a game that lives up to this?
Not likely.
Will the gameplay be good?
Nope.
