Early 2010 is gonna be huge not only for PS3 gamers but also for Quantic Dream in particular. This is when Heavy Rain will be coming out, and there is undoubtedly a lot of expectations for this game. Will it go over and beyond the expectations set up by the discriminating gaming public? Maybe the demo that will come out will give an idea.
Early 2010 is gonna be huge not only for PS3 gamers but also for Quantic Dream in particular. This is when Heavy Rain will be coming out, and there is undoubtedly a lot of expectations for this game. Will it go over and beyond the expectations set up by the discriminating gaming public? Maybe the demo that will come out will give an idea.
David Cage confirms that there will be a demo coming out, but the issue is more of what’s going to be in the demo since the game does carry a lot of varying scenes. In an interview with G4TV, he explains why they’re having a difficult time deciding what’s going to be on it:
We are currently working on a demo, which is a real challenge. Finding one scene that can convey what we are trying to achieve with Heavy Rain is something really difficult. If we show an action scene, some players will think that this is what Heavy Rain is all about, and it is the same thing if we show an exploration scene. The problem is that each scene of the game offers contextual game play, which is something very difficult to explain and convey in a single demo.
Demos are often a double-edge thing: if you don’t release one, players might think that you have something to hide. We also know many good games that ended up not being massive hits because the demo could not convey the quality of the game behind it.
Because Heavy Rain is a anew concept and since many gamers will want to check what it is before buying it, we will be releasing a demo. We just need to find the best scene for it.
Heavy Rain has been given the release window of Spring 2010, and since the demo’s content is still up in the air, it would probably be safe to say that the demo will be coming out around the first few months of the new year.
