Well given I was talking about this game, and fahrenheit so much i should really comment on here.

I recently got hold of the version with sound, and must say I was blown away.

The music and voice acting was really good, the story told in that part is really good, I totally wanted it to be a game that I could play through.

Anyway I have watched the trailer maybe 5 times so here are some thoughts.

Firstly to me, the girl looks like ' Shelley Duvall' from Kubrick' s " The Shining"


Big eyes and big teeth, I think it' s the closes match for me.

As for the ingame model, it is well done, like the graphics overall. It is however, lacking in facial animation. When she moves her mouth or makes expressions generally, her face doesn' t react to it. There is no muscle structure beneath her face. Her cheeks really need work.
Also the lip sync wasn' t fantastic.

However there is one point in the trailer where even her chin creased up - " Such a corny moment" she says @ around 1.42 (of gamevideos trailer)
This i thought was nice, there was lots of nice details that added to it. The blowing curtains and plants really made a big deal too. I' m sure the game will improve, and it is my favourite trailer of E3, I must be one of those rare people, who isn' t bothered in the least with MGS4

Oh yea, she does look like the girl from The Shining. She' s not quite as pathetic as her though!

I agree about the mouth too, it' s a bit wooden, but she almost makes up for it with the other detail in her facial expressions. I liked the detail where she wrinkles up her forehead/brow when she gets a bit upset later on.

Hmm, I really don' t agree but i' ve never seen sweedish men


this game gonna freak me out

Hopefully, it' s kind of what i am hoping for. The trailer has such an instense feeling to it, and she did the part well, just need to animate the muscles of her face more. Can' t wait.


but she almost makes up for it with the other detail in her facial expressions. I liked the detail where she wrinkles up her forehead/brow when she gets a bit upset later on


Me too, I said there wasn' t any brow changes, until i watched it again playing close attention. It' s all in the details, and it' s on my " to buy list" If it ever went 360 exclusive (like alan wake ) i think i' d have to forget ps3 for a long time.

Dont get me wrong,i liked fahrenheit and im sure this game will be awesome,if david cage doesnt rush it as farhenheit then ps3 got AAA title.
But they need to fix her face,and dont make a 7 hour long game...and dont skip middle part of the story and suddenly its some weeks later and people fallen in love with each other meanwhilke,that was just retarded.

I agree fahrenheit was rushed along a bit too much, it was fantastic at the begining. but at least they put in multiple endings.
It was one of my favourite current gen games. I liked the bleakness of it, it was great.

I' m sure that with the experience of Fahrenheit, heavy rain will only be better. And I doubt they will leave the model like that - heck they might not use it, it was after all only a casting session and apparently she was " too old" i think.

I read this is a sequal to Fahrenheit.

Is that true?

Hmm, I doubt it... Probably just a new game from them, if they are ' famous' for fahrenheit then people will refer to it as fahrenheit 2. For the time being i guess... Like ICO 2.

Thought there is a slight possibility of a sequel, but i think quantic dreams would want to do something new for the new generation, building on what they did and learned with fahrenheit.

Either way, it' s on my ' to buy' list - unless it' s the ultimate in crap ^_^;;

Make her look like this and make the story longer then fahrenheit,and dont miss out on the middle story,and you may have a AAA title :)

when she points the gun at the camera and the backround is out of focus, damn, that looks allmost lifelike.

Just shows how some nice effects can enhance everything.
