If you haven't already, I recommend checking out this weeks 1UP Yours podcast:

http://www.1up.com/do/minisite?cId=3149993

Shane from 1UP just got to see Heavy Rain and talk to David Cage (head at Quantic Dream). This game sounds absolutely phenomenal. Yes, it's going to have a lot of QTE's, but it's only because the game will be very cinematic, and make it unlike any other gaming experience you've ever had. It's a game made for adults, and not just with immature violence. This will be a true mature game with a mature storyline. I've been hyped on this one since I saw "The Casting", and because I also enjoyed Quantic Dream's 2 previous works. I expect Heavy Rain to be a AAA game, no doubt about it. Especially since they only have to develop for one platform this time around.

We're not talking about credibility here. Everyone says this game looks great, and 1UP also has good shows and podcasts, even if you don't like their reviews or previews.

I'll withhold my hype until we see some more substantial gameplay footage. I will say, however, that this game has more potential than the vast majority of 2009 releases put together.

I think Heavy Rain and Alan Wake will be the 2 best games next year (if they both come out, that is). Both are very different in gameplay and tone to pretty much anything out there, and it'll make them feel new and exciting. Not to mention, both games have great devs behind them.

Its a mutli-path adventure game, story is about a serial killer. Play indigo prophecy if you want to know what its going to be like, just take away the sci-fi supernatural elements and you've got the idea at least for gameplay behind heavy rain.

I won't play it, and I won't buy a PS3 for it. That being said, I'm a big Quantic Dream fan, since Omikron and I feel weird about not being able to play this game. It's the only game on PS3 so far that grabbed my interest.

Please let that be sarcasm! :P

I mean, looking back at other adventure games that I've played with QTEs...there's Broken Sword 3 (which was terrible), and Fahrenheit (the last third of which was terrible). It's certainly not a common feature of adventure games, and has never been done well enough to account for the lack of puzzle solving found in those games.

Heavy Rain will definitely be one of the many 09 PS3 games to own! Indigo Prophecy was really, really good and I'm guessing Heavy Rain will be even better...

It'll have the hype, that's for sure. Heavy Rain will be more of a favorite I'm thinking, though.

I see Heavy Rain delivering, but I don't think it's going to be a very popular PS3 game. Not that it matters, but it's a shame.

I been waiting for this game since I first saw the tech demo early 07. I was so glad that the development wasn't scrapped on this game. I can't tell how long I've been waiting on a game where your actions can change the development of a story. This game's uniqueness will deliver.

It's certainly the exclusive I'm most looking foward to. I loved Fahrenheit so I can't wait for this. I'm going to take Cage's promises about the game with a grain of salt, since not everything he said about Fahrenheit ever came true, but it should still be a phenominal experience. Those complaining about the use of QTEs need to broaden their horizons a little, it's not as if that's all you'll be doing for the entire game, just for the action sequences.

True! Unlike MGS4 (which I LOVE) Heavy Rain will totally *mesh* gaming and cinema into one, not just put them side by side. David Cage's vision for HR is something spectacular. I hope everything is finished and he realizes his goals. True adventure games are a thing of the past :(. I'm very pleased to see a game such as HR come onto the scene. Shooter this, shooter that.

And for the sake of SW I will say that HR and Alan Wake will be compared alot. I really want to see more on AW as well.

Doesn't interest me; looks boring; too many QTE's. The only thing that sounds interesting is the many ways the story could play out.

If by puzzle-solving you're referring to the "combine stuff with other stuff until you hopefully find the correct combination of stuff/check gamefaqs", mechanic, then good riddance I say.
