Supposed Heavy Rain pics give sneak peek at new characters
We're not entirely sure if these new images of Heavy Rain are real assets from the game, but they do look eerily similar to what we've seen of it before. Are these photos part of an upcoming feature (or video content) in the European mag PSM3? Quite possibly, since its watermark is plastered on all the images.
If these pics do prove to be legit, then we're looking at some of the most realistic facial renders ever seen. Just look at the attention to detail. And, is that Mexican bad-ass Danny Trejo (NSFW link) as a design inspiration? (Check the image after the break.) Wow, this game just got ten times more interesting. See the rest of the images here.

Wow - what the hell is that game going to be about?

Its the follow up from the creators of Indigo Prophecy. From what I've heard its a murder mystery about a killer taxidermist but the most interesting thing they are trying to do with it is give it a dynamic plot where the choices you make change the entire course of the game. I'm not talking about going from point a to point b and get ending 1, 2, or 3. Supposedly if you kill off the protagonist, the story shifts to focus on a secondary protagonist, if they die another character takes the spotlight. Supposedly even if all protagonists die the game still plays on, and the dynamic aspect of it means you could be playing a different game each time.
Very ambitious project and I've been waiting for years to see how this one turns out ^_^

Seems very ambitious to say the least. My interest is definitely piqued from those photos!

This is about as impressed as I've ever been by sheer graphical power. :P

OMG, If that is in-game character models...then...holy shit.

i've been waiting for at least a little more information of this game for so long now
it looks great.... but there is no need to say it, right? xD

The face on the right is the actor that is being used as the basis for the face bump map as well as the light map. I repeat: The face on the right ISN'T rendered, it is a modified photo used in the map creation process.

Can't wait...
Kdiggy @ May 21st 2009 10:26PM
I don't know... they could be rendered. After seeing Visari's opening speech on KZ2, I would believe it. I think that might be the most impressive face work done n the PS3 yet.

Danny Trejo FTW

This only makes me want this game more and more.
I'm glad I put my $5 reserve down months ago, huzzah.
