New Heavy Rain Screenies, More Blurry Post Processing

Some new screen grabs from the upcoming PS3 "game" Heavy Rain were released into the wild today. Very little is known about the title with only this freaky video and the new screenshots given as clues.

The new short-haired biker chick and some random fat guy star in the new shots with plenty of heavy post processing and some cool skin texturing. Motion blur makes a guest appearance in the final screenshot of the bike riding over a bridge.

Heavy Rain: The Freak Out

I remember the first time I saw the Heavy Rain: The Casting (tech demo) back in 2006. How I thought it was frickin’ amazing from a visual point of view and an animation point of view. Her teeth were a little freaky but so were Aki Ross's but it just looked so damned good.

Well, I just watched it again after 2 years of progress in the game engine business and I was shocked at how terrible it looks. All those glowy, blurry filters over the top... her freakin’ teeth! ...and those dead eyes. *shudder*

It's amazing how fast our expectations move, especially when it comes to technology.
