Heavy Rain Delayed to 2010

[pigeon_of_doom]

As long as it's as polished an experience as possible I'm fine with the delay. Might even be able to afford a ps3 by then too.

 

[Andalusa]

I thought... weather, actual rain. The wet kind, y'know?
Oh well.
I don't have a PS3 so this doesn't interest me in any way. Carry on.

 

[Lyri]

Too me the title "Heavy Rain" makes me think it's a little too artsy, i have no idea why.
It's not something I'd be looking at rushing out and purchasing for fear of massive amounts of pretense.

From the screen shot i can see it's aptly named but having no previous knowledge on the subject, It doesn't look like much of a winner.
No rain slick roads for me.

 

[Xvito]

As long as it's the best it can be, I'm alright with it coming out in 2010.

 

[coldwarkid]

When I read the title, I thought, for a brief second that I may be able to venture outside for 10 minutes without being pissed upon from a great height.

Oh, what a fool I have been.

 

[SharPhoe]

Never heard of it. I honestly thought this was some weird weather report.

I've heard of the game, but I thought the exact same thing.

 

[oliveira8]

I still can't get hyped for a game were it seems to be based interly on QTE...

 

[vickyyfar]

Ah, well. I can wait another year
So far, this game looks really interesting. The stuff I've read about it has gotten my quite hyped. Hopefully, the wait will be justified when the game finally comes out.

 

[Brotherofwill]

Sucks if it's true, but I'm not sure why Keighley would have that kind of inside information.

Fuck! Far bit of dissapointment for me today. First Jaffe, and now this.

What about him?

 

[StarStruckStrumpets]

I'm getting rather irritated with all of the games I know of getting delayed...what's with the problem?!

 

[October Country]

That sucks if it's true. Of course I don't want Quantic Dream to rush things, but it's still disappointing to have to wait untill next year.
Though I still hold this statement as speculation since they haven't officialy announced a release date, which they will at E3.

 

[I III II X4]

I assure you, you are not.

Man...I need to watch that movie again.

 

[MrGFunk]

Hopefully they will take that time to take out all the QTEs.
Question is: will there be anything left?

I like to hear about delays. Usually the final product is worth the wait... Usually.

When in 2010. It's half way through 2009 so it might not be that long. 6 months isn't that bad.

Hated Fahrenheit anyway (see above comment), if they take a little longer to make it good, i'll be happy.

 

[IrrelevantTangent]

So I'll have to split my time between Mass Effect 2 and this when 2010 rolls around? Fantastic.

 

[Mariena]

I'm pissed off that it's a PS3 exclusive. If it was made multi-platform like Farenheit then I'd be happy to wait until next year. Once again us 360 owners lose out to the sweet smell of green...

And PC users. I'm pretty intensely pissed off about the exclusivity given that, bar the staggeringly bad third act, Fahrenheit was by far one of the better recent games I've played.

Absolutely love Fahrenheit, brilliant game. If Heavy Rain stays exclusive I'm gonna be very very annoyed...Sony has a knack for keeping their games exclusive whilst Microsoft are all too willing to hand over their games.

Even when you look back at the second half of Fahrenheit? It went from really interesting detective thriller thing to Dragonball Z with tons of QTEs. Reason enough for me *not* to look forward to this.

Heavy Rain
Some stay dry and others feel the pain
Heavy Rain
A baby born will die before the sin

Heavy Rain
The school books say it can't be here again
Heavy Rain
The prisons make you wonder where it went

 

[MrSnugglesworth]

Never heard of it.

Its justified. David Cage told us the game wouldn't work on the 360. The script is 2000 pages long and the people look photorealistic - pretty sure he's right.

Who cares about graphics if it's a good game? The 360 is a great all rounder and I'd be happy, as would many other 360 owners, to sacrifice a portion of the quality of graphics in return for the game if the gameplay is good.

Perhaps you missed the part about 2000 page script? Meaning full Blu-Ray disc? Meaning anything that doesn't use that won't work? No, multiple discs won't work, that'd be like a choose your own adventure book scattered over 12 different magazines

12 magazines and multiple discs is fine by me. As I recall a similar problem was faced by Square Enix with the upcoming release of FF XIII and they've still deigned to find time to find a way of putting it on multi-platform release. If it took a few years, even, for them to find a way of being able to release this game on 360 then I'd still be happy, even if they have to compress every part of the game to accomodate it beyond current technological capabilities. There are people doing research into that, you know, otherwise we'd still be playing Pong and thinking the Atari 2600 is the best thing out there.

EDIT: What about PC? Most computers can easily hold that sort of memory, multiple discs just to install would be a small price to pay for a PC release.

Gives me an extra year to save for a PS3 so I'm not complaining.
