In a new presentation video for Japanese audiences, Quantic Dream’s Guillaume de Fondaumiere discusses the upcoming Heavy Rain for Playstation 3 through an extended gameplay tour. The walkthrough focuses on the character of Ethan and his role in the unfolding story, so spoilers are inevitable.
Heavy Rain is one of the PS3′s most anticipated exclusive titles, which promises to be a uniquely cinematic and immersive console experience. The sheer scale of the production is touched on in the interview, revealing that a staggering 170 days of motion capture footage were shot, amounting to around 3 motion pictures.
Heavy Rain is scheduled for release sometime next year, but a confirmed date is said to be announced soon.
