Creepily-realistic dermatology aside, these new Heavy Rain screens are looking great, and some give us a look at the convenience store scene we've all been hearing so much about. It was apparently part of the demo that was playable at PAX this year, which is one of the things I'm sorriest to have missed out on.
It's been said a million times before, but this game really does look fantastic, and if it's as engaging as Quantic Dream's David Cage has been telling us it is, then our excitement won't have been in vain. This is really one of the titles I'm most looking forward to feeding my PS3 next year, especially after hearing first-hand accounts of the scene pictured above.
Did any of you guys get to check this out at PAX? What did you think of it?

After seeing the trailer, I really couldn't care if this turned out to be one long movie (let alone QTE-laden), it'll definately mark a milestone in the sincerity of digital acting and story telling.
I dunno, maybe I should look at it again.
While nothing beats getting up close and personal with a game for yourself, the convenience store episode have already been quite comprehensively covered in readily available gameplay videos (such the Gamescom presentation with 1UP, to name just one example) in which the scenario is played through multiple times to show several drastically different solutions to the problem.
But GODDAMN am I excited!
I'm just excited because it's really pushing the boundaries of what "gaming" is.
I strongly believe that should HR be what the devs promise, once other devs have played it, it WILL change gaming, period.
Crazy to think that when most of us started gaming it was a case of play this repetetive timing / coordination game over and over, and in a few short years we're qat the point where games are becoming a viable story telling medium. I love it.
Honestly, what Narishma posted got me more excited for this game than ever before. Even though I've seen all the vids, watching it in crystal clear high def and knowing that it's only going to look better when it's actually IN my PS3...
Absolutely WANT!
