gamescom Cologne starts next week, and of course, we’re getting some quality time with Heavy Rain developer Quantic Dream at the show. So you know what that means — we need your questions!
You’ve no doubt recently seen or read about the game, whether from our E3 virtual booth tour or the PlayStation.Blog.Europe‘s Friday interview with Guillaume de Fondaumiere, Executive Producer and CEO at Quantic Dream.
So once again, we’re opening the door to you! What do you want to know about Heavy Rain? Do your research, then drop your questions in the comments section below.
Some of you really need to watch the video on EU Blog.
And i hope it doesn’t have online
Hi, my questions are:
1- will we have a tree to see the branches for the choices that we make in the game in order to see other consecuencies?
2- If there is sex scenes, will be soft or xplicit?
3- Have the developers deleted scenes for too sexual or too gore (if there is any).
Thanks for answer and good luck for 2010
Do the characters in the game know each other before they meet?
For example are they co-workers, oe in a relationship, et cetera.
What are you aiming for in terms of rating?
Due to the fact that Norman has futuristic glasses, what year does this game take place?
Thanks!
Is it true you will be working with ridley scott on the bladerunner prequel “Purefold”
and if they would be interested in using the Heavy Rain technology to explore other IP’s for future games like the bladerunner universe.
How much communication\influence have they had from sony’s edge group (ICE/ATG).
Oh yeah also,
This game kind of reminds me of an interactive book. Will there be chapters in the game to kinda help you along the way?
Also, This may not be able to be answered at the momment, but I’ll ask it anyway.
Are you planning on doing a movie as Quantic Dream is part of a movie studio?
Will this game kick ass??
Will there be free roam or co-op?
In regards to the bathroom scene with the girl. I noticed that there didn’t seem to be the option to stop fixing her up at any time. This seems odd in a game that stresses choice. I figured in a situation like this, the different ways you dress yourself up would effect the outcome of the game slightly.
So I’m wondering if I just missed something or maybe it wasn’t there but will be in the final game? And are all these scenes done the same way(ie. All or nothing.ie. All or nothing)?
This is an odd one, but one I’d LOVE to have answered!
Are there any sex scenes and if so, is it possible for me to skip that part of the story (even if resulting in death) or curve the story to avoid the scene?
The questions EVERYONE should be asking on ANY PS3 game is:
-Ingame music (ok not for Heavy Rain)
-Ingame SCREENSHOT (only very few games have it, do dev’s even know it exists?)
-Home Support
-Game launching (for multiplayer games)
-Frame rate? Resolution?
-Will there be a mandatory install?
1. DLC????
2. How many times can I play the game (appox) until I start seeing the same scenes.
3. Will this be easy for my (verry) non-gamer GF to play? – i.e. mostly QTE.
4. not a question but. MAKE A DEMO!!!! Can’t wait for this don’t let us down!
Release date? I’m anxious.
Heavy Rain doesn’t seem to go easy on button pressing action sequences popularized in God of War. These have been seen in the development community as a way to unify cinematic cut scenes and gameplay.
The main flaw however, is that the player isn’t fully paying attention to the cut scene for the developer to properly invoke intended feelings upon them.
How is a player supposed to enjoy a great story if they aren’t paying attention to it? Obviously you’ve seen this flaw but what did you do to fix it?
These unified cut scenes/ gameplay sequences also require minimal amount of feedback from the player.
Are there moments where the player can actually directly control the character on screen or is all gameplay done through these “context clues”? (I think that’s what they are called)
My questions.
1) How much gameplay can we expect out of this title?
2) Is there a New Game+ Option?
Please ask them this dealt want to put my head to rest.
Compared to indigo prophecy which had a mood system and a “life” system which served as your consequences lose your lives you die, too low of a mood you go crazy, in heavy rain will there be any other means of a consequences such as the mood system as or something similar?
In indigo prophecy the way quicktime event were executed was to move the analog sticks in the prompted direction.in heavy rain is it only going to be face buttons i.e. Triangle.square, etc. If you guys have taken out the analog stick quicktimes for what reason made you decide this.
Technical
1)How far are you in the production of the game?
2)People have been claming that the graphics have been downgraded at least on the character models part(madisson looks wodden during the make-up part).Will they improve and reach the standards of the taxidermist demo?
3)Can we expect DLC with new charactes and new stories?
4)Can we expect future projects from them?Do these depend on HR’s success?
Question to quantic
1)Is there a way to contact Quantic( forum,mail etc)so we could give thoughts,opinions on the game and where they could hear what the community is saying on the game?
Sorry for the double post,its because of the 1250 letters restriction.
do u get to control your character or is it like watching a movie with a controller in your hand pushing button sequences cuz that would suck if you dont contol your character. that wouldnt be inovative that would be boring
1: will Heavy Rain be a very detailed game meaning will the small things in the game be detailed to?
2: can the decisions i make in the game affect the out come of the of the story line?
Hi, I’m really looking forward to his title and also have 2 questions.
1) How limiting is motion capture in your vision of creating this game ? How constraining is it to have to capture most actions/movements by real people ?
Would your ultimate vision include ‘synthetic humans’ which you can make behave and move in any way you see fit (within the boundaries of the script) ?
2)will it be possible to view your story as you played it after you have completed the game ? As HR looks so cinematic, having a complete movie/series at the end of it sounds like a great reward
It could also be something to show of to others, who might not have the patience to sit through the complete game with the player, but can still enjoy it like that.
Any chance characters can die from diseases or other occurrences?
thanks chris, here are my questions:
1. will the characters meet during the game?
2. Will there be a lot of trophies?
1 if i die will there be a retry option?
what if i want to find out if i passed that bit and dident die, im not going to replay the whole game just to find out what if.
2 release date?
What problems or barriers that you ran into on Indigo or any game that you help work that you were able to adjust and get right this time around?
Or what features that you put in the game that you wanted for Indigo?
Either one will do
1) What do I have to do to get your avatar? Then I’d have like, a very cool VIP avatar :D
2) Please, can I have it?
Can’t wait for the game by the way :) No further questions.
@168 – sentry-23
your second question is really interesting. looking forward to it if chris actually ask it.
Will there be exploration elements where you have to work out what to do through intuition? In a similar vain to games like Broken Sword.
If early critics begin to act unfavorably towards the new style, what type of contingency plans are available?
does the game is just to much for the cell processor? because in some gameplays that i saw the game looks like slow-mo is just a video or ps3 got to its limits?
does the is just to much for the cell processor? because in some gameplays tha i saw the looks like slow-mo is it just a video? or the ps3 got to its limits?
uncharted 2 have i think tha it has better grafics and runs well on the ps3 or is the design i hope is just the video bcuz ps3 hasnt unleshed 100% its power
Dear devs,
thanks for reaching out to us fans and answering our questions.
my questions are:
1. will the game be autosaving or manual? or can we change it to our preference at the options menu
2. Can we at anytime, pause the game and play a previous part over, as if a movie with playback.
3. Can we choose the order sequence of characters to play?
4. Can we play as the origami killer? Can this be considered for dlc?
ty
I really enjoyed Omikron: The Nomad Soul back several years now. What lessons did Quantic Dream learn from that game, and what similarities, if any, will we see in Heavy Rain?
Why did the club scene look like it had been designed by someone who had never set foot in a club? It was the blandest, most sterile depiction of a club I’ve seen. It should have had cool pumping techno, been hazy, with shimmering lights, disorientating. Make it so.
Just wondering, but is there any prize? Even if there isn’t a prize, i’ll still do the quiz.
will it have downloadable contents such as side story mode like GTA4’s Lost and the Damned?
Any unlockable contents?
When will Heavy Rain be released in the US? Also,will you guys be releasing any Heavy Rain PSN avatars?
This game looks pretty cool and I no idea what to ask, so here goes:
1)Will there be a special edition of the game?
And-
2)What will be included in the set?
Also-
3)How much will it cost?
1) will there be a demo
2) is this a game you could call an interactive movie experience
3) ROFL @ #29 XD
I love that this is a story driven game. We need more games like that.
You’ve said that if a character in Heavy Rain dies you will control another character and so the story will never really end. It will continue depending on how you play.
In that regard, what happens when all four (or however many there are) characters die? Will the game just end or will you continue onward some other way?
Can you confince me to start liking this game. Because I’m not confinced yet.

Looks like all my questions have been asked,
