I haven't actually seen better character models than HR, not even this demo. Where it does look better than current cycle offerings - environmental effects, lighting, and textures. Just a clearer vibrancy and appearance, but I agree that the character model is nothing mind blowing. I don't see the resemblance of HR to this demo at all either way.

And a little off-topic but HR can't be a "walking CGI" as it's all rendered in real time.

Then why do people think Uncharted 2 looks better than Heavy Rain... from what I have seen I would have to disagree.

I disagree on the character models though, I think the pic that is there, just the little details blows the heavy rain one away. I dunno that might just be me.

Because Heavy Rain is only characters and there is more to a game's graphics than a character model.

Uncharted 2's atmosphere and killzone 2's atmosphere thoroughly destroy Heavy Rain's atmosphere(although there are exceptions like the butterfly level which looks next gen almost).

Its a game where there's a lot of screen-tearing, Uncharted 2 runs @30 fps with no screen tearing. It probably has better AA than Heavy Rain as well.

OT: I expect next-gen to look a lot better than this. This is unreal engine and unreal engine usually favours character models over everything else which is why so much priority is given to the the face and textures in the screenshots.
