Dermatologists pore over new Heavy Rain screens

Remember Heavy Rain? Quantic Dream's upcoming PS3 adventure ran into the Uncanny Valley and many were concerned it wouldn't be able to come back. Two new very close-up images from the game are meant to show the game's incredible skin rendering capabilities. Look at those imperfections! They're so ... real?

We don't know much more about the game other than its potential to further graphics and performance in games. Hopefully, we'll get something much more concrete soon. For the rest of the images, check out TVG.

"Pore over..."

Oh my gosh, I think that pun made me a little sick, Lol. J/K, Andrew Yoon, you are the best...

Dang, this game looks pretty good! It might garner more attention, graphics-wise, than Killzone 2 already has.

The problem with good puns is that they are simultaneously so, so bad.

The skin luminosity in the original Heavy Rain tech demo was already gorgeous; this is even better. What'll be interesting to watch for, though, is whether the level of detail is maintained when the camera zooms out. As incredible as close-ups of Mary Smith looked in the tech demo, when the camera zoomed out and the engine dramatically dropped the level of detail, the illusion of realism was lost immediately.

For a game I know so little about I'm fairly excited about Heavy Rain. I loved Indigo Prophecy (or Fahrenheit if you're European) itjustifies paying $60 for whatever quantic dreams did next.

I dont think this should be called game... to me is just a good example what ps3 can do. :S where is the game play? if its just a "ps3 adventure" they can make a dvd version and when it comes to interact...just press the opcion :P
