Steve points us to this awesome demo video for the upcoming adventure title Heavy Rain.
Super cool. Super creepy. Great example of the 'uncanny valley'

"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects." - Robert A. Heinlein

Actually, if you watched it render at the PS3 booth, it wasn't creepy. Pretty amazing. Watching a small video replay of it removes a lot of the detail and (apparently) shifts it into the valley. Interesting artifact of not seeing real deal?

Could we actually be seeing the rise back *out* of the uncanny valley? This is still pretty creepy, yet not quite as bad as other stuff I've seen (ya'll see that Tiger Woods EA thing?)
