I think some of the ladies and gentlemen here are misunderstanding what the main focus of Heavy Rain is!!! The graphics, which IMO look freaking amazing, are great, as are the animations, but the focus or heart of the game lies in puting you, the player in these intense life or death situations, that is part of the reason why the game has no GAME OVER!!! If you're in a strugle for your life and you miss a punch here and there, you don't tell your attacker timeout and rinse and repeat!!! In this game the QTEs act as every single one of those punches and actions which in the consequences of the game could mean life and death!!! That's why it's vital to get each action right, because once you're into the game and the more you start caring about these characters, those life and death situations are gonna become, more and more intense, because you're gonna care if your character lives or dies and you'll strugle and fight to keep them alive!!! That sort of imersion is what makes Heavy Rain so special, I hope I helped some of you understand the focus of the game a little better, besides it's still early, the game will improve it's graphics and animations as developement continues, I have faith!!!

Theoretically:

This is the first game for which I'm genuinely excited that's on an HD console this generation. It has a lot of potential.

Realistically:

I probably be heavily let down and the game will be heavily watered down and the guy's "adult orientation" probably pertains only to the one shot of the woman in her underwear and nothing more. Or it will be only a ridiculous amount of QTEs, or it will be the most boring story ever, or something. It is a console game after all.

P.S.

Graphics are extremely underwhelming this time around.

Well in the US probably, remember Indigo Prophecy, Europe got the uncensored version where ther were actual sex scenes while for once America got the shaft.

This reminds you of adventure games? It's a psychological thriller movie.

...

I saw the video. It looked like a shitty attempt at a CGI movie.

Its a button command game...no different than DDR.

It's ok, we understood. Nice contribution. There, there...

Its a button command game...no different than DDR. Basically, it is a simulation/movie of terrorizing people without true adventure gameplay. There is no way a person can feel immersed in the game, besides for the fact that they are responsible if the person gets hit.
