Quantic Dream Gives PSLS a Detailed Walkthrough of Heavy Rain
During the E3 convention on the show floor, the PlayStation Lifestyle staff sat down with Quantic Dream, developer of Heavy Rain for an interview and a short playthrough of the E3 2009 demo.
The developer reiterates that Heavy Rain is a mature game and deals with extremely mature elements. An interesting piece of information discussed in the interview was the fact that every character in the game, and all their choresponding movements, were motion captured by actual actors. Even the crowd characters were given just as much dedication to detail as the main characters. In other words, no two characters will be alike, regardless of their importance in the game.
Even though a checkpoint system is in place, Quantic Dream urges players to continue through the game to understand the consequences of their actions. Heavy Rain is expected to hit store shelves Q1 2010. Check out the video below, and make sure to enjoy it in HD!

I wonder how they’ll tweak it in the next 8 months or so?
it looks like something new, so glad it’s not another shooter.

This will be a good change from the mostly repetitive games that have been coming out lately. Looks neat, can’t wait!

In that SCEE lounge upstairs, I was able to play through this demo. The camera angles along with the environment really contributed to the feeling that I was playing a movie. Also, you have to really be on top of the button prompts because there isn’t much time to push the corresponding button. One thing that hit me on my way home was that I forgot to try out dieing so I can see what happens when you do. Because it was a demo build, it might have just returned to the start screen, but anyway, it was fun and I’m really excited for this game.
