Not that Sony representatives are fans of hype or anything, but an excited PR man seemed so thrilled with Heavy Rain that he made one of the boldest statements we’ve ever heard, claiming that Heavy Rain is graphically superior to the current benchmark of console visuals, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves.
The rep had been demoing Quantic Dream’s artsy fartsy adventure at CES and was asked how it holds up to such good looking and action-heavy games like Uncharted 2. His response was simple and bold: “Graphically, it blows Uncharted 2 away.”
A big deal of course has been made of Heavy Rain‘s animations, despite the creepy, uncanny valley atmosphere they seem to provoke. Even so, this is an epic claim to make, with Uncharted 2 considered by many to be the best looking home console game ever made.
Will Quantic Dream impress our eyes in the same was Naughty Dog did? Maybe if they fix the terrifying, unmoving eyes on all their characters.
