I've been interested in Heavy Rain since I first heard about it, and that interest grew into excitement when I heard that the team behind it was Quantic Dream, the same chaps responsible for the magnificent Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy. Sadly, however, trying to find information on Heavy Rain is like trying to find condoms on a Catholic honeymoon.
Ah well, at least this above image is really pretty ... in a creepy, uncanny valley kind of way. You can check out a handful of other images of this young lady and more right over here -- certainly detailed and impressive work. Heavy Rain, thus far, is really selling itself on how unnervingly "lifelike" the characters are, but I really want to see some gameplay now. Women with eyelashes are terrific and all, but give me more to chew on than this, please.
You're good people, Quantic Dream. Don't let me down.

I wonder if I can cut her realistic face to pieces with a chainsaw?
That screenshot does look incredible though.
The only reason I have to look forward to this is that once its released Quantic Dream can focus on the greatness that is Omikron 2. mmmmm sweet, sweet nomad soul.
Also, how come there's a link to "More in our Xbox 360 section" under this story? This is a PS3 exclusive, made by Sony. :P
Goddamn Indigo Prophecy was good. I think I'm going to replay that.
Isn't this a PS3 game? O_o
and Yeah... I can't wait. The graphics are definitely gonna be awesome but, I want to hear more about the GAME itself.
