Console Monster has a nice preview up for Heavy Rain: The Origami Killer, giving us probably the most extensive look inside the game thus far. Some new screenshots are included, some of which you can see here. Enjoy!

Remember Farenheit (or Indigo Prophecy to our overseas readers)? It was the story of a man who unwillingly kills a man in a diner and simultaneously followed the story of two detectives trying to uncover a string of murders across the city. It is, by far, one of my favourite games for the original Xbox, even if the last hour or so were a bit farfetched. It is one of my favourite games because of how original it was, how it was presented and the story itself. The main aim of Farenheit was to immerse you in the story. It did this by letting you control the lives of the characters. You controlled how they opened doors, you controlled when they sat, when they drank and when they went to slept. This, personally, lets me know the characters on more than just a surface level. Giving that much control over a character in an action adventure game was something very new at the time as well. It wasn't as deep as The Sims, but it was a lot deeper than your typical game. It was probably the closest to the feeling of a film you are participating in, until now.

      Alan Wake of 2004 looked fantastic, personally it hasn't been seen of since and i think that game will look really dated when they show it off again. I think that game has been cancelled as to be honest there isn't a Microsoft Game Studio's game out there that isn't overhyped, why aren't they bothering with Alan Wake...

    Funny, graphics looks fantastic, but the sounds of the gameplay doesn't hit me. I was so looking forward to this game last year, now Im not.

      I rather like the idea of the controls; controlling in real time would just feel...I dunno, wrong with this kind of game.

      Though I pretty much expected you to say you won't like it.

        I never said I don't like it, Its just the sounds of the gameplay doesn't hit me, or on my cup of tea as I thought it would be last year though. Maybe for 30 bucks I'll buy it.
