Sony dropped a short Heavy Rain demo on PlayStation Network yesterday. You’ve had sufficient time to download it and play it. Now I want to know what you think! This is one of the most divisive games I’ve come across in a while. Some people are totally into Quantic Dream’s style of storytelling. Some are dismissing it as a non-game or barely a game. Now that you’ve had a taste of it, kindly share your thoughts.
On a related note, the game was listed as #1 on Amazon when I went to grab the link. That surprised me.
Hey, forgive me if I forget all the details of my boredom from almot 2 months ago. I assumed with a wait that long there must have been an install as well. But my point was irrelevant of whether it was an install or a title update, I still sat there for an hour waiting to play something. All that does is encourage me to turn on my other system. And once I'm engrossed in something else, good luck getting my attention back.
Like I said to Smartguy, something is wrong. I don't know what but something is not right if a demo takes 3 hours and title updates take an hour. Demos take me no more than 30 minutes and updates no more than 10 minutes. I know that still longer than the Xbox but much better than your experience.
Sorry again for calling you a liar but Uncharted 2 is my baby like Mass Effect 2 is yours. I'm sure if I said something false about ME2 you would jump in and challenge me on it.
@RROD: I would correct you on it, but I wouldn't call you a liar. It's generally better form to assume someone is making a mistake that assume they're spreading a falsehood.
Title updates on the 360 take 30 seconds to a minute. 2 minutes if my internet is acting slow. So than either there's something interfering with my connection to my PS3, or PSN just takes too damn long.
The demo sucked me in more than most full games. A great experience. I wanted more and I wanted to find the origami killer. I so can’t wait to play the full game. I was extremely impressed.
i liked that during the fight, in chapter one…your injuries reflected where you got hit..if you were punched in the face, your nose was messed up, if you got cracked in the head, your head would bleed, if you took no damage, youd look fine…little things like that make all the difference to me
@qtes
these arent traditional qtes, if you miss one, you dont die, you can choose whether or not to hit them or not….its not sega cd people…lol@sewersharks….night trap
That’s the best description I’ve heard about the QTEs. The only QTEs I hate are the ones that catch you off guard and you die a cheap death the first time, like in Bayonetta.
Don’t you guys install games on your Xbox IF you have a HDD with enough space? There are benefits. The games run better and have less load times and you’ll be able to hear the game your playing through the tv if the Xbox isn’t spinning.
Had to download it twice because apparently the 1st 150 minute download was corrupted. So all told it was a 5 hour download in order to get a playable demo. Something's clearly not right.

@RROD
maybe nightshade means whatever firmware updates?
@rrod
I think nightshade could be talking about the firmware updates for the game.
@Nightshade
I believe you. I only disputing the fact that Uncharted 2 had an install.

Gah now that I have some time I can finally do the freaking download lol.

for sure RROD. I guess I don’t know how the PSN or XBL infrastructures work but the difference is striking.
I didn’t get a chance to try out the demo, but I ant to do so tonight.
As for the updates and HD installs, I hate how long it takes. It makes me want to do something else while I’m waiting…..like turn on my 360.

Just finished. Right under 3 hours.
@Smartguy
Seriously, something is not right if it took you 3 hours.
Installs and updates are a one time thing but that jet engine noise is constant.
