Day one can't come soon enough. This game is screaming with the critics thus far. I'm really hoping for some great sentiments here in the States. Really surprised how well the Famitsu/Dengeki scored this one. I've played the demo every day so I can calm the urges.

I'll tell you what people; The best thing you could do for yourself until release is WATCH all three seasons of Chris Carter's Millennium. Someone mentioned it in one of the Heavy Rain threads, and it is obviously a show I missed out on back when it was running. It's got a great atmosphere and is a great accompaniment to Heavy Rain anticipation. So thank you to whomever that was!

So I guess it's safe to say that Ethan is billed as the main character for this game? He's the posterboy...

I'd say yes, the main focus is on Ethan; he's the driving force of the conflict at least. Though I suspect each character plays a significant role.

Great Official Thread

Can't wait to play Heavy Rain.

ACE 1991 · Feb 10, 2010

Everybody should be able to have fun with it, and that is the most important part.

-Destructoid

Isn't that definitely not the most important part of Heavy Rain? :lol

Ploid 3.0 · Feb 10, 2010

Whoa, Heavy Rain is the real deal. Get Hyped (a fighting game saying)

Majine · Feb 10, 2010

The reviews are better than I expected. I always thought half off them would love it, the rest would simply "not get it", because let's face it, it's a pretty niche title.

Juno you did an amazing job on the OP but you should have used that banner for the thread title.

HMV is very reliable.

I made my preorder last night and didn't get a card for the DLC

Dude said that he might have them closer to the release date.

It's probably been said a million times but that US boxart is fucking disgraceful.

they said they will put the other 2 on their site for us to download and print off if we didn't like our box art.

i personally could give two shits.

"don't judge a book by it's cover" right?

So glad to see this reviewing well. Already have my money put to the side for it.

SiegfriedFM · Feb 10, 2010

alr1ghtstart: FFS, that's pretty much a shot by shot telling of most of the game. MAJOR SPOILERAGE, including some areas not previously shown which are close to the end.

HMV is very reliable.

Great. It shouldn't matter that I'm living outside the UK right? Their FAQ says that they ship to my location.

I've ordered a couple of times from there (I live in Sweden), and I've always received my stuff (currently waiting for a Bioshock 2 PC CE). If it helps, this is their Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hmv

Mr. Wonderful · Feb 10, 2010

Just preordered.

What are the AV specs for this game?

Ok, thanks

I've preordered the special edition

dark10x · Feb 10, 2010

Man, the game looks so fantastic. Fantastic level of detail in every scene, perfect image quality (based on the demo), and some fantastic camera work. My only complaint remains the eyes, which still don't look natural. It's a shame they couldn't make that work as it is less convincing in that regard than even Half-Life 2 (despite the massive increase in detail).

You know, something just struck me while reading one of those reviews...

neos · Feb 10, 2010

I must admit that i would never have expected review scores to be so high.
i'm curious about heavy rain, i already know it will probably be immersive as hell, but i thought it is too "strange" has a game to be loved by most of players (and most of reviewers).
If i was @ QD now, i'd probably being partying

well I haven't played the game and have no real idea of any of the characters outside of the main four, so they have no context for me. I guessed they weren't a big deal. edited anyways.

I suggest "Love" and "Lamp" be next to each other in the thread title, for the Anchorman reference.

If there's decent interest I might put together some avatars over the next few days.

I'm loving the Anchorman references from the post, but I gotta say the reason for 'Lamp' in the header is...

Hefty spoiler below [and NSFW]...

Benson · Feb 10, 2010

Massively hyped for this game, got the CE on pre order from HMV and can't stop replaying the demo. The only drawback so far I've found is the somewhat clunky movement controls eg. trying to manouver around the bed in the sleazy place demo, I keep on turning round in circles and bumping into things!

Gaming did not go this way. Heavy Rain is very different from pretty much everything else on the market these days.

BlazingDarkness · Feb 10, 2010

If i walked into HMV tomorrow and pre-order HR special edition do i pay in full there and then? Sorry i've never preordered from a store before

I want Heavy Rain to succeed for selfish reasons. I want adventure games to make a glorious comeback. After the awful Indigo Prophecy game, I was very skeptical about David Cage. I hope the reviews are right and we'll see more games like Heavy Rain.

Hobbun · Feb 10, 2010

Just preordered off of HMV.

That special edition looks sweet.

Those things are just weird and creepy. So you're walking up some stairs and all of a sudden you're right up against the guy's face, staring at him as he turns his head around in some dark void. Like...what is that?

Juno you did an amazing job on the OP but you should have used that banner for the thread title.

Heavy Rain | Official Thread | Love. Guilt. Fear. Lamp.

Another vote to rename thread!

And by the way, G4 gave heavy rain a 4/5.

Lord Error · Feb 10, 2010

That's a lot of very positive new reviews. I was honestly expecting this game to create much bigger love/hate divide. Seems like those that don't like it however are far and few.

templeusox · Feb 10, 2010

Hype building. #3 on Amazon's top 100.

More impressive to me is that the "harsh" reviews are still giving it a 7/10. That's always a good sign and certainly casts aside the idea of early reviews for a high score.

Awesome!

Best news so far

I just hope everyone will keep the spoilers down and will be careful.

Great adventures/stories really deserve more attention i.e. sales.

Edit: lol top of page two in a row

Filldough · Feb 10, 2010

Pre-Ordered last night. I'm always looking for new game experiences and this sounds pretty unique from everything I've read. Really nice seeing such positive reviews so far though! Just have to decide if I'm going to play the demo tomorrow or just wait for the full game...
