Heavy Rain details shake off very little mystery

Everything surrounding Quantic Dream's title Heavy Rain is mysterious. We know next to nothing about the game, except to anticipate our minds getting blown. A Dutch magazine, Chief, apparently got an exclusive with the game's developers and spilled a few morsels of goodness we simply can't ignore. We'll lay down the important bits below.

There won't be a large, free-roaming city like Grand Theft Auto, but there will be "big sets" with crowds: malls, subways, et cetera. The graphics are getting very positive responses from Sony, but Quantic wants to do something else unique with them aside from as photorealistic as possible. Speculations abound. Heavy Rain is going to expand on the new elements of gameplay Fahrenheit introduced.

The story? Well, normal people in extraordinary situations seems to be the key phrase. The story is meant to be personal, focusing on a father's love. The main story revolves around four main characters and their perception of events -- what's right, what's wrong, all the ambiguous morality you could ever want seem to be standard story elements for the game. More details will come whenever the developers decide to talk some more!
