Heavy Rain (PS3); from the creators of Indigo Prophecy.

John Hartigan · 05-27-2006, 09:27 AM

Obviously it's just a Tech Demo but it's already looking really nice. Still needs alittle work, though it is apparently all real-time.

I didn't love Indigo Prophecy but I thought some of the ideas in it were very original, so the prospect of Quantic Dream refining and evolving the gameplay for the PS3 with Heavy Rain is quite exciting -- Not that there has been any confirmation that this'll be useing the same engine as I.P. yet, H.R. WILL be an Adventure game however, so it's highly likely.

Oh, and if you're wondering who the Actress is, her name is Aurelie Bancilhon. And yes, she's hooott

Fanible · 05-27-2006, 11:25 AM

Yeah, I thought it looked pretty great when I saw it's coverage durring E3. I will definitly say with that level of detail slapped onto an advanced "Choose your own adventure" game mechanic upgrade from that of Indigo Prophecy, I'll definitly look forward to picking this game up.

If you're able to download the footage from Gamespot or Fileplanet, it's definitly worth taking a look. At E3 you could manipulate the camera and lighting effects.

What? This is their new engine that they're showing in this demo. Why would they use the Fahrenheit engine? Unless you ment the way that the gameplay works, in which case I'm pretty sure it's going to be going the same route. That's where all the great motion capture will come in, using the same type of gameplay, but hopefully a more seemingly real "choose your own adventure" this time around.

Oh that's ****ing awesome! I might have to buy a PS3 now...I love Farenhiet or Indigo Prophecy or whatever the hell it's called. It's one of my favorite games!

Yes: I meant the way the gameplay works.

Wow game mechanics are surely becoming a big thing especially with the Next Generation consoles coming out. Even the new engine being implemented into the new Indiana Jones game is looking amazing. I can't wait to check that out actually.

Fanible · 01-24-2008, 03:52 PM

Apparently a new update from TVG. They said they'd have other interviews up, but I'm not sure any have surfaced yet. You can check out the current here:

And some new screenshots and video footage. Not much, but an update none the less:

I loved Indigo Prophecy...this looks interesting.

Dhamon22 · 01-24-2008, 06:10 PM

This might be the game that makes me buy a PS3. When does it come out?

I never played Indigo Prophecy, but I think I'm going to download it on XBLA.

Andrey83 · 01-25-2008, 08:32 AM

Hmm, so its not a sequel to indigo prophecy. I guess i was wrong in that department. Anyway, im glad its not a sequel anyway so its all good.

roboxeno · 01-29-2008, 04:30 PM

****en sweet! do want this now!

Fanible · 08-21-2008, 10:12 AM

Finally a new trailer. Shown at this year's Leipzig (shot with a camera).

Andrey83 · 08-21-2008, 10:42 AM

It looks so meh. QTE fest with weird animation and lip syncing from the 90's. If picture quality is all they're going for then I'll skip it.

Dhamon22 · 08-21-2008, 11:14 AM

I'm still excited. Loved Indigo Prophecy.

iv3rdawG · 06-05-2009, 05:03 PM

The E3 gameplay looked pretty amazing. Here are a couple of different gameplay videos they had.

Cannot wait. Come on, next year!

Drizzt240 · 06-05-2009, 06:10 PM

Damn, I can't wait to help rip that woman's skirt off.

Dhamon22 · 06-05-2009, 07:50 PM

This is still my most anticipated game. Been waiting forever.

I hope its a little more open ended than Indigo Prophecy.

Justin · 06-05-2009, 08:27 PM

I haven't played Indigo Prophecy, but this looks pretty cool. Gameplay reminds me a little of Shenmue.

Carnage Escobar · 06-06-2009, 02:45 AM

Well, my anticipation just went up a bit.

iv3rdawG · 09-25-2009, 06:39 PM

I really cannot wait for this.

MasterChief117 · 09-25-2009, 06:42 PM

This games graphics are okay, they are way too shiny in my opinion.

Matrix_Fan · 09-25-2009, 08:05 PM

Can't wait for this to come out. Indigo Prophecy was enjoyable in spots (plot got super weird towards the end, though), but I wasn't digging the "Simon Says" gameplay mechanic. QTE seems like a better option.
