"Heavy Rain's visuals look so phenomenal, so realistic, so lavish, that they probably qualify as the most impressive graphics ever produced for a video game. "

And the game hasn't been released yet! Even the title screen looks sensationally realistic.

Better than Crysis?

GamePro has no credibility. That's not saying much, given the website I'm posting on, but I don't give a damn.

Then again, all gameplay we saw is interactive movies. Now if HR had those visuals with as much going on as, say, MGS4, now we're talking.

Well, the PC is a lot more powerful than the PS3. I'm not some blind fanboy.

I do think heavy rain looks pretty good, but I'm worried about how playable it is or what exactly it plays like.

That was gameplay and running in real time graphics.... Didn't you see the circle and triangle buttons appear? It's going to play like Indigo Prophecy where you don't have direct control but you are given many chances to alter the way the game is played depending on what actions you choose to do and what you choose to say. It's basically playing an interactive movie. Very interesting concept and should prove to be fun.

What makes you say that? For every positive article towards the 360 or Wii there's 10 toward the ps3. They've always been biased toward Sony, since the days of the ps1.

Yeah the graphics are pretty nuts, Crysis is pretty sick to.

But it comes down to the gameplay.

Looks pretty good graphically. I knew crysis would have to be brought up too lol.

Thing is, and this is what consolites need to realise, crysis not only looks amazing but is technically amazing. The fact you are taking a game with tiny little game environments, virtually 0 special effects, a game that can use all the PS3's graphical power to render those tiny spaces, then comparing it to a game with massive environments with every effect in the book going on says alot about just how stunning crysis is.

Heavy rain still looks great though. All i can say is imagine how it would look on a PC lol.

I'm sorry but it looks like complete crap. The textures are so bland and low-res all throughout the game, not to mention that the rain effect that's supposed to cover up those textures looks horrible in itself. The best game graphically is Crysis, without a doubt, and no game is even close to matching it (besides Crysis: Warhead).

Edit: All throughout the scenes and pics that were shown.

I take it you've never played the game, much less see it in motion. It looks so far beyond anything and everything else.

i was just kidding... but seriously its stupid when people think gamesites are biased.. everybody used to think GS was biased look what happened.. seriously dude just lay off biased stuff. i mean come on, gamepro gave too human a 4/5 a better score than GS, ign, 1up, and most gamesites.. so does that still make GP biased towards ps3

His face texturing is overdone. It looks like it was scrubbed with steel wool and then it healed over or something.

Either that or he had acne all over his face.

He actually looks worse than the close up of the fat man's face.

It's called stylizing, it prevents uncanny valley, if you look at his eye's in the cut-scene they look slightly lit up. Heavy Rain is also stylized to aviod this. If you watch the Heavy Rain video when she talks to her little recorder it clearly gets dead eye syndrome and fails miserably like Mass Effect.

Heavy Rain has a better art direction, despite Crysis' technical superiority.

Art direction? Seriously? Both went for a realistic look, although Heavy Rain is in the suburbs, and Crysis is in a jungle.

other than the charcter models, the rest of heavy rain looks fairly unimpressive. but people percieve it to look good because of the blur
