Sony's line up of PlayStation exclusives that were shown off at E3 during their press conference didn't end with what are largely considered "mainstream" titles. One of the most hotly anticipated PlayStation 3 titles currently in development is Heavy Rain, currently in development at Quantic Dream, was also shown off.
Heavy Rain is not a "game" in the traditional sense. The title is considered an "immersive and emotionally-engaging experience", bringing cinematic visuals, a deep story, and memorable characters to life on the PlayStation 3 in what can be best described as an interactive film.
The E3 trailer for the game shows off some in-game footage, and reveals some information regarding the "Oragami Killer" who fills the role of main antagonist. Along with the trailer, we've got a bunch of new screenshots from the game.

Heavy Rain follows in the steps of Fahrenheit (also known as Indigo Prophecy in PAL regions), where the player controls a number of characters throughout a sequence of events that can have multiple outcomes. The actions taken as one character form the options available to other characters, allowing players to shape the world (and the progression of the narrative) as they see fit.
This gives the game exceptional replay value, and also allows players to explore the consequences of their action in-game. No release date has been announced yet for Heavy Rain, but it is likely that we'll see the game early next year.
