New screenshots released for Quantic Dream’s future psychological thriller, Heavy Rain, reveal an astounding amount of detail, not only in the characters but the environments and mood as well.

Quantic Dreams, known for their work on Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy are aiming to give as much control to the player as possible, with interactive cut-scenes that affect the overall story - even if you make a mistake, the game will continue, allowing you to see what repercussions such mistakes can have on the unfolding plot. Check out footage of the game to see an action sequence taking place, all in real-time. Heavy Rain has a cloudy ‘2009’ release date.

Amazing, heart-pumping Heavy Rain footage

Posted by Oliver on August 22, 2008 at 03:28 PM

Quantic Dream, known for their previous thoughtful thriller, Fahrenheit, have released some footage to show off Heavy Rain, their new game in development.

Heavy Rain’s focus will be on mature storytelling, not only in terms of the subject matter, but trying to provide a mature storytelling technique for video games. In Heavy Rain, players play the story instead of experiencing it via cut-scenes, each action affecting the unfolding story, with repercussions both seen and unseen.

The trailer shows off the amazing in-game visuals while also revealing some of the game play mechanics. Heavy Rain is sure to set the graphics bar high and will attempt to do the same as far as story delivery is concerned. It has a tentative release date of 2009 on PS3.
