Heavy Rain -The Official Thread (Launches 2/23/10)
OK, it seems that Heavy Rain talk is filling up the PS3 thread, and since there's so much interest in this PS3-exclusive title, I though it was time for a dedicated thread. Feel free to post questions, opinions, articles, images and trailers here.
From Joystiq: http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.c...eup-010810.jpg Did Qore say February 16 was the day Heavy Rain would be released? It meant February 23! As if specifically intended to correct this morning's report, Sony just announced the for-real North American release date for the adventure game. A reminder: pre-ordering the title will get you free launch-day access to the first downloadable Heavy Rain Chronicles episode, which won't be available otherwise until a later date (at which point it'll be $5). _____________________________________ Cinematic Trailer: <object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/I2vDhZXl1JQ&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/I2vDhZXl1JQ&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object> |

How do people plan on playing this? Let some characters die? Try to keep them all alive? Play multiple times with different actions? Play it once?
I will play it the first time shit-face drunk, that way I won't remember and playing it the 2nd time will be different and AWESOME! Also - worth checking out Quantic Dream's website - pretty cool, and has some demos of the tech. www.quanticdream.com |

I'm really anxious to see how this one turns out. I loved Indigo Prophecy, so I really hope Heavy Rain doesn't disappoint.

How do people plan on playing this? Let some characters die? I would want to play thru with all the characters alive at the end -- unless the story forced a death or two... and I won't play shitfaced ;) |

I just can't imagine playing that way. It sort of defeats the purpose in my mind unless the characters are directly tied together (ie husband/wife, daughter/mother, etc) and not just held together by the plot.

So can I get that pre-order bonus at Gamestop or is it just through amazon pre order?
I'm highly anticipating this game as well. One thing I'd love to see them do is have at the end of the game a movie mode enabled where you get to watch the entire game with the choices you've made without all the text prompts. |
Re: Heavy Rain -The Official Thread (Launches 2/23/10)
My most anticipated game of the year! :banana:
|
Re: Heavy Rain -The Official Thread (Launches 2/23/10)
So I have 2 weeks to finish Bioshock 2 before this comes out GAME ON

Re: Heavy Rain -The Official Thread (Launches 2/23/10)
I was just saying the other day how this reminds me of Indigo Prophecy. Definitely something I'll pick up.

Well it is being made by the same developers so it should remind you of Indigo Prophecy... :) |

Can't wait for the inevitable "you don't do anything in this game!" backlash once it's out, but I am seriously excited for the game. :cool:
|
Re: Heavy Rain -The Official Thread (Launches 2/23/10)
Looks pretty cool.
I had heard the name, but hadn't payed attention to it at all because I didn't have a PS3. Now I'm intrigued. I'll have to read up about it. |

Re: Heavy Rain -The Official Thread (Launches 2/23/10)
so... it's just a bunch of cut-scenes linked by a "Choose Your Own Adventure" type of selection process?
... I'm in! edit: okay, so it's more than cut-scenes. I'm still in! |
Re: Heavy Rain -The Official Thread (Launches 2/23/10)
For those of you who have never played Indigo Prophecy, here is the Quick Look the guys at GiantBomb did for it the other day. It's not Heavy Rain, but it'll give you an idea of the roots:

Re: Heavy Rain -The Official Thread (Launches 2/23/10)
On 1 vs. 100 last night on Live, the Penny Arcade guys were guests, and the host asked what their most anticipated games were - one of them said Heavy Rain. :lol: Of course he got no response from the host.

Re: Heavy Rain -The Official Thread (Launches 2/23/10)
Damn, I was hoping I'd be able to hold off on getting this but that's looking less and less likely:lol:
|
Re: Heavy Rain -The Official Thread (Launches 2/23/10)
does anyone else thinks this game has the same kind of feeling like Alan Wake?
From previous readings it seems they will play different, but for me they get associated like inFamous and Prototype last year. |
Re: Heavy Rain -The Official Thread (Launches 2/23/10)
This popped up in my gold box today and I couldn't resist putting in the pre-order. This game wasn't even on my radar until recently, everything I've seen looks very cool, and 2/23 is my birthday, so I figure maybe it's a sign, lol. Happy birthday to me. Only problem is that Amazon isn't offering release date delivery yet.
|
Re: Heavy Rain -The Official Thread (Launches 2/23/10)
I have no idea why it is being associated with Alan Wake, the games play nothing alike at all.
