I wonder if this will be co-op, considering his comments about wanting to move his style of game into the multi-player arena.

Hopefully there won't be a 5 year wait between games this time.

Maybe cast native English speakers in the roles this time, eh David?

Kinda jarring when you're playing a game set in the US and the (American) characters are trying so hard to suppress their French accents.

(Unless Heavy Rain was set in Quebec or Louisiana, but I don't think it was)

"native English"

"when you're playing a game set in the US"

Eh? That would just be unrealistic.

He said "native English speakers" which would include Americans who speak English as their native tongue.

I hope this uses the Heavy Rain engine purely so I don't have to wait as long for this one. Please don't make me buy another console Mr Cage.

Looking forward to seeing what he has in store this time.

Americans can't speak English we all know that. And Colour is spelt with a 'U.'

Hmmm... Could this be linked to the audition-like video that involved a lady and her amazing facial expressions, released a few years ago at a time when no one knew what Heavy Rain would be like?

Cue a zero gravity sex scene, in the shower. TRIANGLE... SQUARE... CIRCLE CIRCLE CIRCLE.

Surely we'll have move by then?
Any sex scene would be Wave, waggle, waggle, waggle, waggle, waggle, waggle...place wand in mouth, waggle, waggle...scream into singstar mic!

Hopefully they'll get proper writers this time around. HR was a big let down in the story department.

This is definately one to watch. I'd love to see a Heavy Rain type narrative with a sci-fi twist! I'm thinking Mass Effect combined with a bit of Dead Space/Event Horizon.

"I'm thinking Mass Effect combined with a bit of Dead Space/Event Horizon."

I doubt it tbh.

With all his concerns about it being something too edgy even for him, and the way he's going, I doubt it'll have much in common at all with any existing games.

My bet is something along Solaris lines. He's probably dying to do something like that. His games explore human relationships and when someone explores human relationships in a sci fi setting you're looking at things like Solaris and Moon.

This man loves cliche. How many times have we seen inept boy meets free spirited woman love stories.

Just makes me cringe

@cianchristopher

You apparently never heard anyone speak French in your life, cause Heavy Rain's voice actors are actually British and American. You might think they did a poor job and I would respect your opinion, but that doesn't give you the liberty to make racist comments here.

Heavy Rain had a dissapointing story? A story is pretty much all it had and what made it so awesome.

@Wyrm: As a film Heavy Rain wouldn't be considered an above average experience for me. And this would be fine if it was a fun game to play, but it wasn't.

I can respect those with other opinions, but as someone who was pretty excited for the story I didn't find it more interesting, dynamic or engrossing that most made-for-TV films I've seen.
