Playsyde.com has posted some screenshots and an E3 trailer from Quantic Dream's upcoming title, Heavy Rain.
Quote:
Heavy Rain is Quantic Dream's new project and was shown during the Sony press conference. This trailer is that real-time demonstration, and some images were released too.
Sweet jesus!!! Quantic Dream is known for Indigo Prophecy/Fahrenheit.
HEAVY RAIN™ is a new video game franchise, designed for next generation consoles and PC systems, based on emotional immersion and innovative game play mechanics.
Holy shit.
I must go and finish Fahrenheit!
I liked the conceit for the trailer, made it one of the more interesting I've seen for a game. And the animation went from slightly off, to just stunning.
I've been waiting to be creeped out by this whole uncanny valley thing, but I guess what creeps most people out just fills me with awe. Seeing the animation done that well... Well, it's not only what I want from the type of game these guys try to make, but I'd love to be able to do it myself.
Having finished Farenheit - which ill add, was enjoyable simply because its a break from the "norm", among many other positives - I'm excited to hear the studio is looking to keep pace with another unusual entry. I really appreciate the focus on story telling, which it appears this will continue. I don't mind a 10-15 hour movie for my money, assuming its fun to interact with, and the plot keeps you going.
That was a brilliant trailer, tech demo, concept piece, im eagerly anticipating the final product. My one pet peeve however, is Valve's lip synch tech, which utterly puts the mouth movement in Heavy Rain to shame. I think had it been implemented here, the suspension of disbelief gets notched significantly. Its a minor gripe, but god it would look so damn good.
Holy shit.

Are there 2 videos of this? because I saw the one with the woman pretending to be in a auditioning for a part. But her face looked bad and its lip syching was way off, the entire face and glowy eyes and her mouth had weird things going on in it. Are there 2 of these trailers? Because what I saw doesn't sound anything like what people are describing?
Truly amazing!
These guys are real masters at motion capture, no doubt.
If it comes close to Indigo Prophecy, with this kind of graphics...
...That will be one sweet game!
Forget First-Person Shooters, I'm not looking forward to any of them.
I really believe there needs to be more story oriented, adventure type games, like Indigo Prophecy.
Just more original ideas, for a fracking change!...
