I'm a long-time P&C fan as most of you know, including a fan of Indigo Prophecy which Heavy Rain is very similar to. That said, after all those bullshots I'm extremely disappointed with the visual fidelity of the game. It's not just not "top-of-the-line." It's actually below what I would usually consider standard, in many areas, for PS3. It's technically possible the graphics could be better outside the demo, but it's not very likely. I hope they get better. If not, oh well. The music and atmosphere is great at least.

I hope you do realize that smaller studios don't always have the technical and financial means to set the bar that high. You might be disappointed with most game releases.

 

Yeah, but graphics are kind of one of the bigger draws of the game...

(I haven't played the demo yet, I did that ARG and got a code but the code didn't work ;_;)

It only works with a Euro PSN ID. Takes about 10 minutes to make one.

Ah lol, didn't see that in any of the articles.  I believe I already have EU account that I made for some other demo, thanks!

Actually you can use a US account, just register here instead:

But you do not get the PS Home Heavy Rain T-Shirts code on US promotion. :P

 

Also, I disagree (somewhat respectfully haha) to nanzatip, I really loved the graphics on the demo. There's great, moody lighting and high detail as you move about slowly. Based on the demo, this game is no Uncharted 2, where you can see the glorious Nepal landscape on top a hotel, but it feels more intimate, like huge care was taken in what you see near you. Also in the second part of the demo, where you're scanning with ARI, that highway with the cars and trucks zooming by whilst it's raining is unreal (or should I say very real :P), and beneath you is the crime scene. Just awesome :D

We'll all know how good it is when it comes, but until then I'm very happy with the graphics :) Except when that hooker glitches lol.
