Ahh so you are not impressed but you are impressed with PC tech demos...

You are aware that thanks to Microsoft rushing a console gen... instead of waiting the two years and making their console based on Dx10 GPUs, both, and read that BOTH current gen consoles are based on early 2005 tech GPUs.

Try not to let your head explode thinking about that and your claim that better is better is bullshit.

A top of the line PC graphics card from EARLY 2005 cost and average of $500 to $600 for both Nvidia and ATI back then. and remember thats ONLY for the graphics card, not the CPU and ram and motherboard, etc.

Those PC 2005 graphics cards were surpassed by over twice the raw performance in 2007, again with top of the line non-overclocked PC graphics cards that still cost $500 to $400 each. And that PC cycle continues on.

Now I have a GeForce GTS 250 1GB (G92b), thats a toaster and ancient GPU here in 2012 yet that card in my system can render all of the impressive Nvidia tech demos up to the Medusa tech demo that uses some ridiculous levels of rendering that I am not going to bother listing, yet you can manipulate it and it completely destroys both the human head and Adriane tech demos.

So just crying about how current PCs are just so impressive when even the game dev whom already has shipped a finished retail game with Heavy Rain confirmed that its just a basic tech demo to give an indication of their future current gen console tech for their next current gen game.

Give up some respect to Quantic Dream for at least trying and not sitting on their collective laurels, they are improving their tech and NO it does not make sense to believe that ZOMG thats teh next gen console graphix because not only does it not make sense but you are completely missing the point of console game development and advancements.

The PS3 has a higher installed user base than it did when Heavy Rain was released, so it makes more sense to expect the new game to do much better in terms of sales.

Now if you did not like Heavy Rain thats fine no one is forcing you however your argument of realism is crap, why don't you go ask COD players that, they seem to think that COD is a realistic game and thats pure BS because number one your health does not magically re-generate after getting shot or jumping from a second floor window with a rifle, a bazooka, hand gun, grenades and flash bangs because they add more weight to your body resulting in possible and permanent injury. and thats not going into the graphics that current gen gamers seem to believe is realism.

The point of this tech demo was to convey the tech and the emotion, not realism, where have you seen a humanoid android like that? that does the exact same things as the one in the video game, no where thats where.

@andrewsqual you hit the nail on the head, game devs make target renders and tech demos all the time however we are talking about PS3 here so there will be some people with huge personal problems against that.

So to Xoar I would say hey how about that Halo target render that never delivered the enviromental reflections in Master Chiefs visor, how do you like that, how do you like how the graphics of both H3 and H-Reach never matched up with that CGI target render used as a tv commercial.

Also you need to go play Heavy Rain and LA Noire before posting negative comments of graphics on this very simple tech demo.
