Heavy Rain = Heavy Flop

Heavy Rain... Heavy fail... heavy loss... Heavy HAIL TO THE XBOX 360!

All I know is I liked where QD wanted to go with it, the game imo was enjoyable and I liked how different decisions led to different outcomes.

I enjoyed the game personally and the character/facial animations are what made it look very appealing to the eyes (not much else) however it had its issues, did it ever!

Glitches
Screen Tearing
Sound drop outs
Sync issues with audio (sometimes audio would be off a few seconds)
Sync issues when you'd hear the Blu-ray spinning, caused pausing in the game (something you'd think the mandatory HDD install would fix)
Freezing (froze many times playing as Norman Jayden)

Sony and QD need to test the shit they put out better, hope the same is not said in regards to GOW 3.

lol i was actually surprised that it sold this much. i thought it would have sold less than 150,000 week one. but still a FLOP

I played Heavy Rain.......I see it as a over priced PS home. I have never been so bored in my life. I quit within 5 minutes and went right back to Halo 3 and MW2.

sales = fail

Same here, played the demo for about 10 minutes and deleted it straight away.

When I read this, Okami came to mind. Bad sales, yet it won GOTY for ign and I'm sure many others. And just because a PS3 owner did not buy a highly anticipated game does not make them a fanboy. Most PS3 users are over the age of 18 and usually wait for games to be rated. They would also wait for a friend to tell them if the game is any good. This causes a chain effect. If one friend waits for the other and the other waits for the other, then that equals not to great sales. Sales don't determine the game as good or bad. Unlike Halo, where the game is already so established that it is expected to be a good game not a bad one, so therefor friends do not wait for others or reviews so there is no chain effect. Heavy Rain did not do so great in sales yet I thoroughly enjoyed it and have played it over 4 times now. Each time is different.

i dont see the point in who done its they are always the person "you least expect" after seeing alot of them you see a big man get killed and a little girl is around then the little girl killed the guy by accident and her father came around and covers it up. things like that i already knew who the killer was after seeing one video on it.

I think if it wasn't an PS3 exclusive, it would have made at least 1 million in the first week.

Shame cause Heavy Rain has a good story.

Heavy Rain is a great game. But I wouldn't be surprised if Quantic Dream made all their games on PS3 exclusives. PS3 will possibly be getting a handful of exclusives from Respawn Entertainment.

Makes no sense. A company made by ex-Infinity Ward employees who will have their games published by EA made a PS3 exclusive.

Lol. Happened with Square Enix n,n And Sony had a contract with them. MS offered them a shitload of money and so they ported FF13 to them.

I still don't see why you guys are surprised... fanboys are all hype. And then some stupid retarded people rent them and not buy them.....*cough* TTSUF *cough*

I agree with Kendo. Respawn Entertainment will probably try and release a MW killer or something, and they will most likely make it multiplat. And EA isn't really good at getting stuff on PS3 *cough* Orange Box *cough*

I understand that, I am in the same boat you are. But they hyped and hyped this game a lot. I would have bought it if I had money for it.

Killzone 2 only selling 2 million copies is one of the most embarassing cases of them not buying games.


On another note, Mass Effect 2 is at 1.5 million, a very healthy number......currently more then MAG and Heavy Rain combined

It has surpassed 2 million by now. Plus PC number's aren't really tracked.

isnt it 1.75 mill tho?

With all the money Sony put into it and all the promises and hype I'd say it was a flop.
