HEAVY RAIN - CAM Screenshots + VIDEO here from Leipzig.

These aren't mine obviously Krigon posted them in the unofficial leipzig topic but I figure i'd make a thread for them.

I'm not gonna imbed them on here because of gamespot's lame side-scrolling crap.

Holy...s***...Wow that is impressive. By chance are those in-game? Maybe there is something behind "teh powerz of the cell" afterall. dragonpuppy

They're gameplay.

heavy fail.....looks like shenmue lolprimateface

I can't get hyped for this game until I know what it's about and how the game plays. So far 99% of the screenshots are pics of a girl. While impressive shots of a girl, I hardly see how this gets people hyped. Of all the target renders they have done on previous games I'm shocked Sony hasn't released anything on this game. I really hope this isn't some Silent Hill remake because I would be pretty disappointed it if was.darthogre

Play Indigo Prophecy/Fahrenheit to see why it should be hyped.

You don't have to play all of it but atleast the beginning, it was very unique imo and Heavy Rain will be the same.

it looks good, but i want to see someone actually conrolling the character in the game, not just quicktime events

Watch the trailer. There are scenes of just walking around investigating.

And where have all the lemmings gone? Maybe now they will finally drop the "but but teh hidden powah!" crap. Hell, maybe they will even drop the MS PR speaking points about how the PS3, if it is more powerful, is so slight it won't be noticeable.

That was shown when she was walking down the hallway and up the stairs, unless you mean like someone on stage with a controller.

Also it showed an interaction when she was at the refrigerator, which looked like Fahrenheit-type controls.

damn, i thought that was just part of a cutscene O_o the character motions are extremely fluid

It doesn't look THAT impressive, stop the massive hype. Looks just like another Indigo Prophecy with more fancy visuals.hugo_ben

Even if that statement were true, I fail to see how that's a bad thing.

Having played Indigo Prophecy, I am not impressed by what I have seen of this game so far (not even visually).

I love GEARS but that was funny!!!:lol:

the game if awsome and the developr know how to make a game like that Indigo Profecy, so thats make me more pumped about this game, you will notice a lot of kids here making hate treads becasue they will not understad the gamaplay of this game the developer says this game is not for kids and teens, is for aduldts with a sence of logic. Umm i expect a few twist in this game.fjburgos

Kids dont understand psychological thrillers.. Kids just understand to shoot things. Kids dont appreciate having your mind ****ed.. I'd rather have a good mind **** then shoot somthing in a videogame now. Im sick of shooters until GEARS2 and R2 come out.

The only problem I had with the game was the alien crap and the button tapping during cut-scenes. They need to ditch stuff like this.

Not that impressed.. Don't get me wrong it does look fantastic, however it's not "mindblowing" as some of the fanatics are hyping it to be... OhSnapitz

Name a console game you think looks better and has a better psychological atmosphere? ill wait :D

So because someone may not like the content and or are not impressed with the game (as so many other fanatics are), all of a sudden they're "kids". You gotta love the logic of the sw's.. :lol:

Graphics look great, and everything was one long QTE...

Graphics before gameplay lol.

Looks like you will be disppointed since there is clearly QTE events and the children are aliens.

Yea! Troll! Heavy Rain looks to be exacly the same as Indigo Prophecy from what it was shown, except the story which should be different (and better!). It looks nice though, don't take me wrong, but I'm not impressed.

Thank goodness this game hasn't been cancelled!

(Indigo Prophecy was a great game. Hoping this one will be too)

Best part of the Gamespot Article:

Quote: (Trailer stuff)
We watched as Madison wandered into the backyard and noticed that the kitchen window was slightly ajar.

(A little gameplay)
Madison kicked some nearby barrels into place so that she could get into the house. Before she entered, a couple of thoughts went on in her head that you can listen to or just move on. Once inside the house, Madison walked around the living room, and we noticed that she could interact with several things in the environment. She could sit on the couch, check out the fireplace, or go through the door to the garage. We were told that you can also explore in narrow spaces and never have to worry about your character getting stuck. In the garage we saw a trail of blood and noticed that there was a garage switch on the left. She headed upstairs and we immediately noticed that the floorboards were creaking. Things started to pick up when Madison discovered a dead body in the tub and then stumbled into a room in which several women had been stuffed.

The rain, the lighting and the colors help set the mood for this short thriller.

(Ed.: Scenario 1)
Of course, that was the perfect time for the taxidermist to return, and the screen split to show the taxidermist on the left, headed into his home, and Madison on the right as she tried to figure out what to do. The music also picked up here to drive the gravity of the situation as Madison tiptoed slowly across the hall to try to sneak out through the garage. Staying quiet, Madison got out of the house by using the garage switch, and she quickly jumped onto her motorcycle, which took a bit of button mashing before it would start. She finally got her helmet on and sped away.

(Ed.: Scenario 2)
After this scenario, Cage explained that this was only one possible story. Like it would in the actual game, the next scenario would take this information and continue to tell the story based on what had been done. Considering that this demo wasn't following the actual storyline of Heavy Rain, we were brought back to the scene in which the taxidermist returned to his house, but this time what followed was completely different. The taxidermist heard Madison upstairs and came looking for her. We were told that there are as many as 20 to 30 hiding places in the house. As Madison hid behind a door, a sequence of buttons appeared that needed to be held to simulate the same uncomfortable feeling of being stuck. She moved to another hiding spot, at which point she came face to face with the creep. He attacked, and Madison fought back with an object that she grabbed off of the nightstand. She ran downstairs and tripped, subsequently heading to the front door to find it locked. Then she ran to the kitchen window, which wouldn't open anymore. She finally made her way to the garage, flipped the switch, and ran to her bike with the murderer close behind. She frantically tried to start her motorcycle, and when it finally did, she took off and left her helmet behind.

(Ed.: Truckload of awesome)
This was a much more intense, action-filled scenario, the kind in which you feel like you're in serious danger, but these were only two of the possible scenarios that a player could have gone through. We were told that the player controlling Madison had messed up numerous times but still managed to escape. You could have killed the villain in various ways; you could have stayed hidden and called the police. Madison could also be killed, and the fascinating part is that the game would not be over. Events would merely continue with that information taken into account. Cage was tight-lipped about any further details as to how this would work or how things would continue, but we do know that there is no game over in Heavy Rain. skiddy666

WTF are we hyping here? Gameplay non-existant, wooden acting by a CG mo-cap or something. What is the hype-gimmick here? It looks good but for a trailer it should well do. Could someone explain why I should bother tracking this?hongkingkong

If you didn't like Indigo Prophecy, I don't think this is for you :P
