Whats heavy rain? Its raining outside but not on my pc..

It was a joke. But I seriously dont know what Heavy Rain is.
It's a PS3 exclusive that is said to have revolutionary graphics for a console.
Which means it would have somewhere around average graphics for a PC game.

It's a PS3 exclusive that focuses a lot on quick-time events. How would that implement good on a PC? Are you just disappointed because it's a good looking game? Because that is probably the only reason a PC-gamer would want it on the PC, seeing as how the gameplay is not PC-friendly.
The look and the story element are really interesting. Why wouldn't the gameplay work on a PC, quick-time or otherwise?
Because they are not only button-based, but you must move the analog stick to mimic movement. That would not work well with a mouse.

And how would the story elements be interesting enough to want it on a PC when nothing has really been released?

You saw a trailer, thought it was epic, and now want it on the PC.
And you can't just hook an analog controller that looks and behaves exactly like a PS3 controller to your PC why? I have 2 ps2 controllers and a 360 controller for my PC, they all have working analog sticks. If a game is 360 exclusive, there is a good chance of it being on the PC. If it's PS3 exclusive there is almost no chance, the 360 is the closest a console has ever come to a PC in terms of architecture.

It's a ps3 exclusive and always has been, so if you didn't have a ps3 and yet hyped yourself up for this game then...yeah. Anyway, I have a ps3 and I'm not interested in this game in the least. It just seems boring according to the dtoid preview I caught wind of.

Tough.

Buy a PS3 if you want to play the game so badly, I don't care if you "don't have any money" or "the PS3 is (somehow) too expensive!" or whatever damn excuse you can think of, buy the damn hardware if you want to play the game.

No point bitching and moaning about Heavy Rain not coming to PC, so what, you think your complaining will actually do anything about it? It's not going to PC as of this time, and most likely won't, as most console exclusives tend to just stay on consoles.

You took the words right out of my mouth. The game looks very boring.

I wish it would be on the PC, but I guess I'll just have to shell out 300 bucks for a PS3 and then another 60 for the game.

I had Fahrenheit on the PS2 and the PC, and it's fine, there's nothing wrong with it on PC.

That is like saying "It sucks that Halo 3 is not on the PS3". Sure the system can run it, but the develpoers built it on one system, so it comes out for one system.
Well that's not entirely correct to use that example, as Halo is a Microsoft owned franchise, and seeing it on a platform owned by a different company would be ludicrous. While Quantic Dream have made nothing but multiplat titles until now, and since the (spiritual) predecessor, Fahrenheit was multiplatform, I imagine he's annoyed Heavy Rain isn't multiplatform as well. And while I doubt it for this one, games can be ported.

Doesn't matter though, still getting it.

Fuck that, I'd rather that they be honest and not do a PC version than give us a shit port. Single platform exclusives? fine. I don't mind. PC has S.T.A.L.K.E.R, remember?

I find it sad how many people trivialize Heavy Rain's interactivity-ness-ess without actually looking beyond the interactivity.

Heavy Rain is trying to get you to care about the characters, and while brushing your characters teeth or checking the watch for time doesn't seem all that fascinating, each action brings you one step closer to being the character. Every little action, every little word, is designed to bring you closer to the character to the point where you want what's best for them, you know what makes them tick, you know their desires and how to achieve them.

Obviously I'm extremely excited for Heavy Rain, it looks like a huge breakthrough for storytelling in games and mature themes. Things like child death, home invasion, drug addiction/abuse, depression, murder, rape, etc... are tackled in this game, and while, yes, the majority of it may seem like nothing but QTEs, that's just one step towards making games all the more interactive.

A bit much, don't you think? The man can still be a tad disappointed the game isn't coming to PC, even if it's been known since the PS3 was released that it was going to that console. If it was a long winded rant that QD stabbed him in the back, then fair enough, but...

I'm not sugar-coating it, I'm being as blunt as I want to be with this.

God knows how many times I've read a thread about "MGS4 going to 360!" or "Will InFamous go to 360?" or "Team ICO would TTLY beneft from selling on Xbox!". And don't think I'm being a fanboy of this (well, mostly...), as much as I hate VALVe for being to lazy not putting L4D on the PS3, I have to either get a 360 or a good enough PC to play it. And yes, I realize I may be a slight hypocrite considering I've had more than a fair share of debates on VALVe's "laziness" and "PS3 ignorance" etc... (I won't go into that.....for now...)

I'm sorry if the OP can't afford a PS3 for whatever reason, or can't steal his friends or whatever, but tough is tough. Either get the hardware or piss off, that's the meat to the bone.

I will agree, I may have come off a bit harsh, but as I said before I'm not sugar coating my opinion on this. But if it was a huge rant on how QD back-stabbed him or some bullshit, I would have honestly gone quite bananas.
