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.

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 ^_^
