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!

The gameplay is fairly similar to Indigo Prophecy, which is made by the same developers. You should try it sometime, it's a good game (though it has an awful ending).

I agree. The graphics of Heavy Rain were always overrated, and the look of the characters is nowhere near the uncanny valley.

I love P&C too and believe the game will be good anyway.

I think it's more realistic to have an opinion on a game you have actually played. I'll take Naz up on his opinion, he's actually played it. Others who have played it have also happily disagreed.


+1 for fanboys that have an opinion for an exclusive that haven 't played
