More 'Heavy Rain' info

I think it's pretty much accepted nowadays that the PC is back to being the most powerful gaming platform at this point in time, and until the next generation of consoles comes out and the cycle starts over. So it's not a matter of the PS3 having the only awe-inspiring hardware that Heavy Rain could run on, it's just that Quantic Dream have an annoying exclusive contract with Sony, and we don't have an emulator.

And if history's anything to go by, you won't have one for a good long time.

Yeah, I was afraid someone would point that out...

Back on GT, a new short piece with Cage has been (http://www.gametrailers.com/player/43620.html) put up. Not exactly new facts, but a tasty little morsel or marketing, I guess. In fact, a little bit too tasty to be taken in without a grain of salt.

(http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/heav-rain-hands-on) The first real preview's up.

So we finally get a little more information on the story. Seems intriguing, but there's still not much to go on. We're obviously being drip-fed information until (hopefully) the press blow-out at E3.

In the meantime, there are (http://www.eurogamer.net/gallery.php?game_id=9088&article_id=571171#anchor) some screenshots. Not bad for alpha code at all. It's darkly beautiful... or beautifully dark. Whichever. You know what I mean.

This is featured game of this week's GTTV, I think.

EDIT:
Yup.

Really, a talented law enforcement investigator with a substance abuse problem? Nice job at avoiding the genre cliches.

Hopefully the full game is more than just James Patterson/Ashley Judd fodder.

It still sounds interesting, indeed, and I did really like the part about the overall story not being strictly dependent on the success of each individual arc. We'll have to see how it all works out, and there's also the issue that, as quoted in the article, any gamer's typical conditioned reflex is to press the Quickload button.

Then again, since I don't have any hopes for a PC port, unless Sony shit out a cheap PS3 offer, I'm not likely to ever find out.

I'm officially disappointed. I wanted more of short-haired hottie on a motorbike, not Fox "Crackfiend" Mulder and his huggybear showerbuddy.

MADISON FUCK YEAH! And, no surprise here, but if the nudity part refers to the characters, I do hope it's her, not Junkie McDopealot.
