Heavy Rain (PS3 only)

download the demo. It is short, but it is awesome.

I've heard great things about this game. Probably the only time I'll wish I had a PS3.

Never heard of it, but if you've come out of hiding to make this thread, then no need to google it and read a second opinion...

What this reminds me of though, is that I fucking need a new PS3 or a bigger HDD...Sometimes, the demo is all I need to see of a game, but I'm running out of space...I don't think that it fully deletes things, cause I don't see how I'm using the space I am, but whatever...I'll probably fetch a replacement and keep it moving, cause now that I think about it, I don't think the new PS3's are backwards compatible...

slave an external memory device to it. much cheaper.

I got it. summary:

You play four people;

1. a fed with a VR forensics unit. he can use augmented reality investigation to scan and access crime scenes. very cool stuff.

2. a woman, don't know anything about her. just not sure yet.

3. a knuckle heavy private investigator. don't know who he is working for.

4. a concerned father, looking for his son, after losing his first years ago.

story: (semi spoiler from playing the first two or three scenes; nothing big, and plenty of suprises left in the intro.)

Spoiler:

you are in what looks like "new philly" in a fairly reasonable future. in various acts of the game you play different people from the list up top. The backdrop is a serial killer called the "Origami killer' is responsible for seven boys, aged 10-13. Their bodies are found in secluded public places with a origami figure and an orchid. they are all drowned in rain water.

The fed who was called in (one of the four you play) has noticed the time of death for the drownings are all connected to 6 inches of rainfall. the amount needed to drow the child whereever they are. you have about 72 hours to find the missign boy, who will be the 8th victim,
