Heavy Rain is finally on the horizon, which means it's clearly time to start getting some details on upcoming DLC for the game. In an interview with Quantic Dream's David Cage, French site GameBlog TV was given some tidbits about what we can expect post-release.
Called Heavy Rain: Chronicles, the DLC will be short expansions to the story. As we already know, The Taxidermist (the first demo level of Heavy Rain shown back in November of 2008) will be the first bit of content. Subsequent episodes will include a prequel story about drug-addicted FBI agent Norman Jayden and a chance for players to play as the much touted "Origami Killer" who lies at the center of Heavy Rain's plot.
I'm digging the idea of playing as a serial killer, especially in a serious context. The new content should be arriving fairly soon after the game releases, though no specific dates have been given yet.

And finally, a game that lets me play as a serial killer. I wonder if they will give you the subtle option to renounce your killing ways and get some pizza instead.
Because I'd totally do that.
This made me smile.
I thought;
Origami = Tofu man
Nice to hear it's something better. I hope it'll turn out to be something better.
I'd love to play as The Origami Killer, it'd be interesting to get his side of the story, maybe understand his motives and intentions a bit more. Maybe he has a reason for doing what he does... a la Zepp (Saw).
In a serious context? As compared to what? A comedic one?

As opposed to every other video game out there. Name me a game where you're a serial killer that actually has a serious tone to it, because as far as I know, it doesn't exist.
I'm hoping that's what they bring to us with the Dexter video game. Hopefully it'll ... oh wait.. what this? It's a Marc Ecko game. Ok, nevermind.
