Not much has been shown or said about Quantic Dream's upcoming PS3 exclusive, Heavy Rain, since the E3 06 casting demo. If you don't remember that far back, the video showed how the development team hopes to use photo-realistic graphics and animation to create never-before-seen emotions in video game characters. However, today, new screenshots of what we presume to be in-game renders of Heavy Rain have leaked onto the net, as the original website to post them, has since taken them down. No worries though, cause we have them here on PSU.com for you to gaze upon.

    I honestly and truly don't think this could even be possible on 360 (at least without sacrificing alot of other things). I loved Indigo Prophecy, so I am definitely all in for the Heavy Rain.

    I like the warm-feely environment how when it rains and it haves that dim look and everything is warm while the rain is also warm very very amazing.

    Quantic Dream have outdone themselves once again apparantely. I have high expectations from them after playing Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy. Hopefully the story and gameplay live up to the graphics...

    Man, this game is lookin good, just hope the gameplay matches it. Can't wait to see some gameplay footage in the future. So far, looking real promising! Sweeeet! PSN ID-Demented007

    Quantic Dream makes games that use a variety of gameplay styles. Often they use the Quickk time event style of gameplay but also have more traditional styles. But they use these in the attempt to tell a story more than create a crazy open environment. So the game looks this good because there's a very focused story at work that they try to keep you from deviating from. When you have the opportunity to influence the direction of the game  most likly you wont ba able to jump on a table and shoot a gun randomly as you would in other games, Think of this like Silent Hill but with better narative and less roaming around.

    Is Heavy Rain supposed to be a PS3 exclusive?  According to IGN (ps3.ign.com/objects/811/811232.html) it is also coming out on PC and xbox360.  Does anyone know for sure?

    Edit: Never mind.  A little research goes a long way. ;)

    These are a joke and they look terrible. Kidding, just kidding. Serious screens there. Although, I prefer the original model in the first trailer. The only thing that weirded me out about that one was that you couldn't see her tongue forming the words. Creepy.

    This makes me think the hole uncanny valley theory is bull.

    These screenshots are perfect, they don't look human and they don't look "creepy".

    They look just awesome and, yet, you can see it is not a movie.

    wait a minute now I could be wrong but I sware I read some place that Quantic Dream were making PS3 exclusive for this generation

    What concerns me is that most of the images may be pre-rendered video. If you look at the last image, that looks like it's in-game, and the quality - while still very good - doesn't appear to match the others.

    Was Indigo Prophecy's gameplay all just timed button sequences?

    HOLY S**T, From the home page I thought it was a picture of a real person.  This is sick.  Now if the story & gamplay is as good as this screenshots than this may be a sleeper hit.

    hahahaha.....don't make me laugh. Seriously is this ingame??? I am looking forward to this game with lots of attention. As for it being exclusive, I will believe that only the day the game will be released. Back to the graphics,  this is killing, can the ps3 actually do that in-game??Please Quantic Dream's say something....if this is true then there won't be any graphic capability comparison btween the ps3 and any crappy machine for years to come. can't wait to c what these guys have in store for us.
