This is one of my most anticipated games of 2009. I expect a lot of people to just 'not get it' though.
It's not like most game, where you actively compete against others (be they real people or AI oponents, or even the environment in the case of platformers) and reaction time and skill is required to win. If you look at almost all games being produce now days they almost all conform to this sort of gameplay.
Heavy Rain is as much an experience as it is a game.
Also, it's a serial killer story. They're always cool, be they in movies or books. I don't think I've ever heard of a videogame with a serous serial killer story. I'm really interested in seeing what the game storytelling medium can bring to an otherwise overplayed genre.
