I have not heard much about this game yet, and only found out about it this week. However, now that I know about it I do want it.

It is from Quantic Dream, and they are apparently trying to expand more on their unique emotional and narrative style, having learned from Heavy Rain and Fahrenheit, though they are now trying to build a little more action into it also (good? bad? depends...)

The story is about a gir/woman who have been bound with some form of entity, and the game follows her life through a 15 year period. The main theme is about death and life after death.

Sinizine: Was not a fan of Heavy Rain, but trying to remain hopeful about this. A good step in the right direction is they appear to be going for better actors. For all the work on facial animation Heavy Rain did, I found the voice acting and a lot of the dub to be pretty distracting. Was such a strange oversight for a game that was so focused on storytelling.

amok: Good actors cost good money....

Sinizine: Not really. There are TONS of quality voice actors in the industry. Heavy Rain scraped the bottom of the barrel for most of its' characters. When the average Bioware or Uncharted title does so much better as far as voice acting with workhorses like Nolan North and Jennifer Hale, it's a bit silly that a game like Heavy Rain did not meet that standard.
