It smells and looks good

 

[MidnightRider]

I am sure it's going to be heaven......

 

[cjtiger300]

Can't wait!!!!!!

 

[Kagari]

Very nice. The Q1 release I'm anticipating the most right now.

 

["God's Beard!"]

Any word on statues coming to life and firing Kamehamehas from the cold hands of a flying zombie?

 

[ElurI]

I'm intrigued now. I will have to follow this.

 

[Animator]

I cant wait. My preorder is paid in full.

 

[OriginalThinking]

Fantastic. I'm really looking forward to this. *off to read reviews*

EDIT

Here's the google translation of the French Eurogamer review

http://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl=en&sl=fr&u=http://www.eurogamer.fr/articles/heavy-rain-test-2%3Fpage%3D6&ei=zVZnS-D1DIz00gT6sNnKBg&sa=X&oi=translate&ct=result&resnum=5&ved=0CBMQ7gEwBA&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dhttp://www.eurogamer.fr/articles/heavy-rain-test-2%253Fpage%253D6%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-GBfficial%26hs%3DmN5

 

[Kagari]

Any word on statues coming to life and firing Kamehamehas from the cold hands of a flying zombie?

No supernatural stuff.

 

[Sword Familiar]

Very nice. The Q1 release I'm anticipating the most right now.

Same. Only three more weeks to go...

 

[offshore]

Aw crap, so I've got to buy this now? I'm going to have to take out a loan at this rate.

 

[Empty]

Isn't the game still a month away? A little early for the embargo to release.

 

[McLovin]

Nice, I expect this game to have high review scores.. its sales that I'm worried about.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Haven't looked at the reviews yet, but have the reviews played through the entire game? We all know how the tail end of Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy ended up.

No supernatural stuff.

That still doesn't necessarily guarantee that the end sections don't end up feeling rushed.

 

[Broseybrose]

Thank the Lawd!

Been waiting a looong time for this one.

 

[Nemo]

French sites eh, seems too good to be true. I was expecting solid 8s. If the rest of the media gives 9s this'll be a day 1 purchase for me.

 

[marathonfool]

I want to know what they rated Indigo Prophecy/Farenheit compared to Heavy Rain.

 

[EmSeta]

Awesome.

Any word on the negatives yet? I'm curious about nitpicks, having heard so much praise.

 

[JWong]

Man, the Futureshops and Bestbuys around my area do not have the preorder yet. Kinda sucks.

 

[bridegur]

I was slightly interested until I saw that mall video. The voice acting is incredibly distracting.

 

[CancerBullet]

Great scores so far. I just hope it has some decent sales. I can't wait to see the Kevin Butler ad for this :lol

 

[warthog]

Very nice. I was going to get it either way.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Isn't the game still a month away? A little early for the embargo to release.

It comes out in Japan on February 16th and in the US/Europe on the 23rd/26th.

 

[Scythesurge]

Cool to see the game is getting positive reception, I really thought it was doomed for a while. I'll wait a bit to play this game but it should be a good one!

 

[cjtiger300]

it will be interesting to see the US scores compared to the Euro ones.

 

[wizard341]

This is great! I was a bit worried Heavy Rain wouldn't quite turn out well enough to get anything over 7 / 10's, thus I was a bit worried when I placed my pre-order.

 

[Balb]

This doesn't seem like the kind of game that would get universal praise. Nor should it.

 

[cjtiger300]

I was slightly interested until I saw that mall video. The voice acting is incredibly distracting.

You going to base your opinion on one video? People who have played the game say it is one of the weaker scenes in the game.

 

[BobTheFork]

Nice to see, but the only reviews I care about are the major ones, and that's only because those are the reviews I have to hear people complain about.

 

[moojito]

Glad to see this finished at last. I hope it has some cool moments like the beginning of fahrenheit when you're walking out of the diner and it goes into split screen while the cop goes to the bathroom. That was a memorable scene.

 

[alr1ght]

Interested, but reserved. Looking forward to playing it due to it being so different. If they actually market the game, it could sell to the older demographic quite well. It will probably bomb though.

 

[cjtiger300]

This doesn't seem like the kind of game that would get universal praise. Nor should it.

Why is that? You do realize that you are saying this before you have even played one minute of it. This could be gamings Citizen Kane for all you know.

 

[Solideliquid]

ME2, Bioshock 2, Splinter Cell, Heavy Rain. God damn, son.

 

[yurinka]

nice reviews

[ZephyrFate]

This doesn't seem like the kind of game that would get universal praise. Nor should it.

Why, exactly? I think it has many reasons to deserve it.

 

[cjtiger300]

ME2, Bioshock 2, Splinter Cell, Heavy Rain. God damn, son.

Best February ever? Hell, you didn't even mention another big budget game, Dante's Inferno!

 

[Stike]

No way that game will feel "rushed"!

They had over three years to develop and complete that game, almost four years I believe. David Cage started work on the story right after Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy.

Got already the Collectors Edition preordered. Cant get the game without the soundtrack.

I am also SO curious what will be next. Quantic Dream made a 2-game-deal with Sony, so lets see what happens...

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

Awesome.

Unfortunately, I can't see myself affording this day 1. I have to buy Yakuza 3 in March, and the rest of my money is spoken for, so it'll be an April title for me I reckon.

 

[MikeE21286]

HYPE HYPE HYPE

 

[tacotime77]

I honestly might rent this to play on a friends PS3 I'm that pumped about it. If this was ported it'd be amazing.

 

[cjtiger300]

I feel your pain, but that is what Credit Cards are made for! Heavy Rain, God of War 3, and Red Dead Redemption are my guaranteed purchases for the spring! My Gamefly will get a workout too!

Edit: Damn it, I forgot about Battlefield BC2! That might be my next MP game

 

[Agate]

Awesome stuff, this game is definitely on my list. From what I've seen altogether my interest has been piqued a good bit, glad to hear its getting solid scores so far

 

[WTFing]

it will be interesting to see the US scores compared to the Euro ones.

Indeed. Can't wait to compare the scores.

 

[Vinci]

Good luck with that one.

That still doesn't necessarily guarantee that the end sections don't end up feeling rushed.

The fact that Indigo Prophecy had supernatural stuff had nothing to do with it going downhill. Hell in the first 5 minutes you are doing some crazed mind controlled murder.

Glad to hear the early great reviews.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

I feel your pain, but that is what Credit Cards are made for! Heavy Rain, God of War 3, and Red Dead Redemption are my guaranteed purchases for the spring! My Gamefly will get a workout too!

I could've afforded it easily if I didn't get Mass Effect 2 (which I was way more hyped for <3) and had a girlfriend that wasn't born in Feburary. :lol Yakuza 3 takes priority just because it's a guaranteed awesome time, whereas the last quarter of Fahrenheit burned me bad.

I'm quite glad I don't have an overdraft, really. I buy enough games as it is.

 

[GeoramA]

To me this is 2010's Flower, but with a high-budget and adult situations.

Nice scores too. Hope more of you pre-order this.

 

[Empty]

More interested in GAF impressions from those who didn't love Indigo Prophecy. I kind of feel like the gaming press strongly rewards games that they think give the medium artistic credibility (see: GTA IV) not to suggest that they aren't honest opinions, just that like with Indigo Prophecy which scored very well i may be out of sync with the reviewers on these kind of games.
