I imagine the storyline will shock people too. I mean, just look at the preview. A taxidermist (someone who stuffs dead animal) has murdered a pair of women, stuff them, and then dressed them up as sex dolls, presumably to rape them.
Has someting as dark and mature as necrophillia ever been seriously attempted in a videogame story before?
After all, videogames are still thought of as children's toys. hence all the controversy surrounding GTA and the Mass Effect sex scene, and I wouldn't be surprised if Heavy Rain sends a shockwave through the media. The inevitable sex scene (all of QD's games have a tasteful sex scene in them) will also probably stir up a bit of controversity too.
