    Having a browse on Yes Asia for impending PS3 games, I found this adventure game called Heavy Rain. I haven't heard of it before, but I'm sure others here have.


    Both PlayAsia and YesAsia both list it as being released in June 2007. Unfortunately, other websites list it as being released in Q3 2008 which is a long time off. Anyone know anything solid about it? Nomad Soul was quite cool, and quite French, so this could be an interesting game to watch for, as long as EA doesn't buy Quantic Dream and it becomes Heavy Rain Extreme 2009.

    They don't list anything for either Xbox 360 or PC, so have they been cancelled?

    -------------------
    US Launch Date: June 1st 2007 (according to Yes Asia)
    EU Launch: Unknown
    JP Launch: Unknown

    -------------------

    Youtube video: "Heavy Rain - The Casting" - it's a PS3 demo, graphics look stonking, especially at around 4:00 with the lightning.

    Yeah that tech demo has been out for a while. The same people who made Fahrenheit are doing this I think. Not sure what to expect, I didn't think Fahrenheit lived up to it's potential at all.

    Agreed, I even quite enjoyed the weird third act. Good game.

    You shoud watch it in HD. Its one of the most unsettling experiences i have ever had when watching a game trailer.

    The only time I've been watching a computer generated image and forgotten that it was cgi. And it's not even the graphics which are fantastic but I have seen, if not better, as good graphics before. it's the animations, the little things, that just bring it to life.

    Very true, although her teeth just dont look right.

    Yup, amazing stuff, just a tech demo obviously but with Farenheit as a learning experience, I reckon Mr Cage & his team are going to make something pretty special.

    The HD version

    Hmmm, never really thought of it that way.

    Her lips don't move correctly at all, even basic cartoons do a better job of matching mouth shape to the sounds being produced.

    Yeah, its actually the synching thats out, its a few miliseconds out and it really ruins the illusion. There was a bit of software in the original thread that could sort the timing, made all the difference.

    Found it, VLC media player lets you do it, download the HD version of the trailer, open it in VLC, then In VLC go to settings / preferences and in the Audio tab, click the Advanced options box in the bottom right, At the bottom of all the options that appear is an Audio desynchronisation compensation field. Set that to -130 and bobs your uncle.

    That looked... rubbish!!! The face just looked freakish - like a wax dummy.

    And somebody should send her to a good dentist so she can get those teeth fitted properly!

    Nice motion capturing, tho'.

    What with Cage's interests in how desicsion's made early on have an effect later, and taking into account what 'Mary' says in the trailer, I'm thinking that Heavy Rain might be almost like a life simulator for that one character, the decisions you make dramatically altering how her life turns out. That would certainly be interesting if he managed to pull it off well.

    Fahrenheit made me want to insert high pressure airhoses under my eyelids and blow my eyeballs out of my arse.

    QT events = OK
    Long QT= Not keen
    Long QT with no fucking save point directly after you've completed it meaning you had to go right back to the start of the QT event if you fucked up right at the end = EYEBALLS BLOWN OUT OF ARSE!

    I never could get past that one on the roof where you fight the oracle guy. Furthest I managed to get was where you're running along a wall with the girl in your arms. Bloody Xbox triggers...

    I have to admit, the increasing and over reliance on blinking QT events as the game went on, plus the ever increasingly loopy plot really spoiled the second half of the game for me. The most annoying thing about the QTE's was that you had to be so focused on pressing the right sodding buttons you couldn't watch what was acutally going on on the screen half the time.

    I can only hope that Quantic have learned an awful lot from Farenheit. I read an interview with Cage where he fully recognised the mistakes he'd made with Farenheit, so i've got high hopes for HR.

    I hope so.

    I thought the demo was ace, the way the game started out was ace - then in the full game suddenly it all went a bit wonky.

    I will say this for the game - it introduced me to Martina Topley Bird. It's like having a woman come all over your inner ear. Lovely.

    Quick Timer Event, as coined by Yu Suzuki for Shenmue.

    edit - or Dragons Lair I suppose if you want to go back that far. First time I heard the expression was from Shenmue however.
