[TheVisualizer]

good job on the OP, very clean, very much looking forward to the game, i've been on full media blackout and avoided the demo

 

[Baki]

Played the demo. Frickin' awesome. They nailed the atmosphere and the soundtrack is all sorts of awesome. Can't be there day one (not enough time/money) but definitely getting this down the line.

 

[Kuraudo]

ARI comment: Demo provided a compelling glimpse of the game. I look forward to further investigation of the full retail product.

 

[Juno]

Thanks for the the compliments on the thread guys - really appreciate it.

[yencid]

:lol lamp :lol

that made me laugh for some reason.

 

[Shinjiru]

Nice job Juno!

Two more weeks!

 

[VariantX04]

Hopefully this'll be out here before the US/EU street date as I'm only going to be home until the 23rd.

 

[DCharlie]

when i looked at the Japanese box art, i heard the Jaws theme in my head.

OH MY GOD, It'S A GIANT NOSE!

EVERYONE OFF THE BEACH EVERYONE OFF THE BEACH!

(assuming the JPN version is sub'ed so i guess JGAF gets it a little early - sweet!)

 

[Paznos]

Nice! GJ with the thread.

Can't wait to play this.

 

[TheExodu5]

Ugh that NA boxart is atrocious.

 

[DanDeschain]

having enjoyed the demo, i will be picking this up at some point.

 

[Kuraudo]

Propose for the thread title to be expanded even further with "Located at www.neogaf.com"

 

[Omotesando]

I have enjoyed Indigo Prophecy, will buy this when more reviews are as positive as the first ones.

Lol at banner: Guilt, Love, Fear, Lamp.

 

[CloakedPuppet]

AWESOME! North American box art has teh boobage.

*face 'tard*

 

[painey]

I love lamp.

Pre-ordered for £37 but the collectors edition is a fiver more.. not sure if I should upgrade, especially as Im planning on flogging it when im done with it..

 

[ZephyrFate]

I hope to God they make a buyable version of Madison's jacket. That shit is AWESOME.

 

[Y2Kev]

I an reallyyyyy excited. Demo rocked. This is cage's last chance with me.

 

[msdstc]

I did the 4 day thing twice and both my codes were invalid... I figured I'd just wait. Either way the graphics in this game are insane, hopefully this game can generate some hype, nobody I talk to knows about it.

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

Great job on the thread Juno well done.
I can't believe this game is coming out already. I am definitely picking it up day one but probably wont have a chance to delve into it for some time. Damn You ManEater!

 

[evalue]

Great work op, classy thread title.

Its straight in as the number 10 rated PS3 game on Metacritic...

 

[rataven]

Gorgeous OP! Very fitting to the game. Loved the demo; now just two more agonizingly long weeks to go!

That collector's edition looks sweet.

 

[templeusox]

Nice OP. Hate the thread title.

 

[Succubus Slayer]

Will pre order tonight!

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

Nice OP. Hate the thread title.

I have to admit I don't get the thread title.

 

[kuYuri]

I took a chance and decided to preorder this. Will wait for demo to hit US store.

If you want Juno, you can add in the OP that preordering at Amazon, Gamestop, and Gamecrazy gets you the Heavy Rain Chronicles: Chapter 1- The Taxidermist voucher code. It will be $4.99 otherwise.

[Stike]

Great OP!

Nobody here mentioned the Famitsu score for Heavy Rain?

Result:

Spoiler

10,9,8,10 = 37/40

 

[paperheart]

Great thread. I can not wait for Heavy Rain.

 

[Juno]

Great OP!

Thanks - will add that to the OP now.

Will also be updating over the next day or so with pre-order benefits and the like.

 

[Interstellar]

Played demo, enjoyed demo, pre-ordered.
Never played Fahrenheit/ IP.
Nice OP!

 

[MomoPufflet]

looks great.

here's a high res JP cover in case you want a replacement: http://z2-ec2.images-amazon.com/images/P/B002M76PG2.09-00000000000000.MAIN._SCRM_.jpg

Thank you for these.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

I am excite!!!

 

[JambiBum]

The only thing I didn't like about the demo is the ARI mode. I loved the beginning at the sleazy place. I just felt like ARI was too tedious. At least in that area of the game.

 

[-DarKaoZ-]

Hmmm... Sept 16 possible release date???

Do I miss something??

If yes... then awesome!

 

[Erebus]

Eurogamer's review is gonna be up on Wednesday according to their podcast.

 

[Arnie]

That US boxart is the most horrifying thing I've seen since I last searched for "chicken boy" on Youtube. And that's something I don't advocate GAF.

 

[Replicant]

I thought the US cover was just a mock-up. But I guess not.

Glad I'm getting the limited edition EU one.

Oh forgot to add, I posted this in the other thread but worth repeating here. The full song for Ethan Mars' theme, "Mars" in case someone hasn't heard it yet:

[TheUndead]

OP is good! GJ Juno!

 

[Son of Godzilla]

I was about to say I actually like the American box art best, but that font is so fucking atrocious. I don't know what is worse, it casting a shadow on her chest or the incredibly lame way they chose to bold RAIN. The latter is especially glaring compared to the JPN one.

 

[zero margin]

pre-ordered today.

 

[Deleted member 30609]

I love the Japanese case.

The EU case is alright, I have no problems with it. The US case, though... icky.

 

[firehawk12]

Ugh that NA boxart is atrocious.

Seriously. Between this and Yakuza I guess it's confirmed that all marketers feel like Americans are assholes and won't be attracted by obtuse box art.

 

[Denzar]

Amazing OP. My internet connection can't handle it. It just craps out!

 

[Loudninja]

Really boxart discussion again? Besides that nice op.

 

[VeryGooster]

How the hell is regional box art decided anyway? "North American players need to be shown everything from the beginning, so slap as many main characters as possible with curious or determined facial expressions and remember, the less appealing-looking the better. Spare me the subtlety BS." At first it was just an annoyance, but now it's really starting to piss me off.

Like if I didn't know anything about Heavy Rain, the EU version would at least get me to turn the back of the case over.

</nerd rant>

 

[Majmun]

Can't wait to play this. The reviews took me by surprise.

I have to admit I don't get the thread title.

I guess it's about the nature of the game. It's like an interactive movie, but it's still a game. So it doesn't belong in the Offtopic Forum, where you talk about movies, but in the Gaming Forum

That's the Joke™

 

[templeusox]

Game is #7 on Amazon's top 100, which is very strong 2 weeks prior to release. It is also generating strong buzz amongst casuals.

This is going to be the nichiest game to ever sell 2 million.

Ahhh thank you for the explanation good sir that makes sense.

 

[TheSeks]

God the japanese box art is terrible. :lol

What? No.

the dad/architech dives in front to try to save him?

Some choice/open-ended story that is. :/

 

[will123456]

Nice op.
Looking forward to this.
