Heavy Rain has only just hit the shelves but New Line Cinema, home to the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings, snapped up the film rights some time ago it seems. Are you ready for the Origami Killer on the big screen?
Heavy Rain is set to get a demo. Quantic Dream’s dramatic adventure game will emerge as a preview on the Playstation Network on February 11.
Heavy Rain’s secrets have already been revealed in an ESRB report and we know that the game will let you play multiple characters but there’s more. Game director David Cage has revealed that Heavy Rain’s DLC will include the option to play as the villain – the Origami Killer.
Heavy Rain’s “intense scenes” and explicit content have been revealed and detailed in a report from the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB). Expect nudity, sex, drugs, violence and some spoilers ahead…
Quantic Dream’s noir drama Heavy Rain is set to hit the PS3 on February 24 and it’s explicit moments have come under the microscope in an ESRB ratings report.
The report reveals that Heavy Rain features a healthy dollop of sex with shower cut scenes revealing your character’s arse and breasts (when you’re playing a female character). There’s also a topless dancing scene where the female character is forced to strip at gunpoint and a sex scene where you’re prompted to control the characters.
Heavy Rain features four main characters affected by the Origami Killer, a serial killer who kidnaps children in public places. The ESRB reports reveals some of the games most visceral themes with talk of a dead woman in a bath, an autopsy on a dead child, a woman set on fire and a man impaled by a power drill.
The ESRB report says the “most intense instance of violence” occurs during a sequence in which a character is forced to cut off part of his own finger to save his sons life with the option to choose between several instruments (a saw, scissors, a knife). Though the camera apparently pans away from the action, the report claims the “psychological terror may be unnerving for some”.
While sex scenes in the game fade out with only glimpses of nudity, the ESRB says the camera focuses on drug use with characters taking Triptocaine, a white powder which causes them to stagger and turns the screen blurry. The good news for gamers is that the game’s graphics are reportedly “highly-evolved” and “sharpen the sense of realism”.
