Does anyone know why there is so much screen tearing in heavy rain? I thought that it only occured when a game was ported (badly) over to a console (like bayonetta for the P.S.3) but Heavy Rain was made excluively for the PS3 so it doesn't really make sense that there's so much of it.

Edit: I thought I'd include a picture to show what screen tearing looks like because if you're not familiar with it you might not have noticed it:

Yeah, I've played through the game twice now and just bought the D.L.C. for it there seems to be quite bit of it.

Hmm I beat the game and didn't notice the slightest bit of it. And it doesn't really make sense that it could screen tear, I'm sure they vsync it to 60hz tops. Maybe your video cables are having issues?

The engine itself is very buggy in a graphical sense as if that part of the project didn't get as much financial attention as the rest of it, which is fair in my opinion. If any other aspect of the game hadn't been given considerable polish, the game would be flat-out broken. Since it hinges on interactive "drama" the character performances got the spotlight which means putting together an absolutely ludicrous amount of digital assets. I am guessing that's where the time and money for graphics QA went.
