Heavy Rain is light on information: Have a smart screenshot instead photo

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.

Is this the game where your character has to lug around a gigantic rain blob that is actually quite heavy. Its been neither seen, nor heard for the longest time.

I wonder if I can cut her realistic face to pieces with a chainsaw?

I have really high hopes for this game. Hopefully they will show some gameplay of it soon.
That screenshot does look incredible though.

Just looking at that screenshot, I feel the uncanny valley creeping in. Also, an unknown jiggle in my pantaloons.

Good on ya Quantic Dream. I just hope they dont make this like Indigo Prophecy or at least if they do follow in its footsteps make the story make sense at the end of the game. Oh, and no lame QTE.

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.

I'm extremely happy about this, actually. That screen looks amazing.

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

Yeah, it's hard for me to get excited about a game that shows close to nothing.

Although, whatever team ICO makes, I'm buying.

We know little to nothing about this game, but I just know that the game will be one of the greatest games I've ever played.

Goddamn Indigo Prophecy was good. I think I'm going to replay that.

The detail in the eyes is nothing short of remarkable.
