Thoughts on Heavy Rain

[WeskerIncarnate]

X360-Yeah, you're right. They wouldn't do that.

PC-Agreed; there may be a slight chance, but it's highly doubtful. That really is unfortunate, and for that, I'm probably not going to get a PS3 for a long time.

Oh well. Indigo Prophecy awaits (haven't finished it yet, anyway)....

Heavy Rain Dated for February Release

One of the biggest and most mysterious PS3 titles has been Heavy Rain. After being unveiled around the time of the PS3s introduction, the title vanished for several years never to been seen again until just this past year. With the sudden surge of new information also came a surge of hype. Utilizing new concepts of character interaction, Heavy Rain is going for something totally unique and the release date of the title is sooner than one expected.

Famitsu is reporting a February 18th release in Japan, which means a North American release date will surely be around the same time, too. Though Sony America hasn't formally announced a date, it's been assumed it'll be in the opening months of 2010. Hopefully, this means we'll also have a February release date to coincide with the Japanese release.

We'll be getting in contact with Sony about a North American release date shortly.

Could this game ever see a port to the 360 or PC?

I just can't shell out $300 for a PS3. Not now, not anytime soon either. Or will be like MGS4 in which porting it would apparently become too "hard" because of the PS3's bitchy Cell architecture?

It was originally announced for the PC and PS3 but the PC version was canceled probably because Sony asked them to make it PS3 exclusive.

We use AGEIA technology on console for physics in general. There will be a version using their card and a version without the card on PC. Consoles versions will include physics without needing anything else, of course.

this game might turn out okay. not really too sure that it will.

[WeskerIncarnate]

Right now, it looks to be part of the few reasons I'd like to own a PS3. I anticipate this game will be great, but not sell too well.

New screenshots

The pics include male nudity and a lightsaber duel(that's right)

New Japanese Trailer

I have a feeling that the story will focus more on Ethan than the other 3 characters thus making him the main protagonist.

That type face looks all too familiar.

[Branden_Lucero]

so after all these years, that's the best a box art could have been. anyone on vgboxart can do a better job, i think. the font looks like a silent hill rip off.

[Canas Renvall]

Yeah, I'm actually trying to remember where I've seen it.

It reminds me of either Left 4 Dead or Uncharted.

Or even moreso the new Alone in the Dark. *looking at all the boxes now*

[Ridley W. Hayes]

It reminds me of either Left 4 Dead or Uncharted.

It reminds me of the default item of Cindy on Outbreak File #2 >.> Looking forward to play the game though, I am expecting it since I heard of it.

[Skunky]

^It reminds me of 'Blade Runner'...
Not a bad thing to be reminded of.

Sony “still planning” pre-release Heavy Rain demo

The problem is that they haven't decided which "scene" will include in the demo.
