SCEE reveals Heavy Rain: Collector's Edition

The folks over on the official European PlayStation Blog have lifted the lid on a swanky Collector’s Edition release of Quantic Dream’s forthcoming PS3 thriller Heavy Rain.

Seen below, the CE comes packaged in a specialised ‘rain-effect’ slipcase, which, thanks to some snazzy manufacturing tricks among others, looks as if it’s coated in 3D raindrops.

The meat of the package, however, comes in the form of a Voucher allowing consumers to download additional content for the game via PlayStation Network. See below for a description.

-Heavy Rain: Chronicle 1 – The Taxidermist – Experience Madison’s dangerous investigation in full, before it’s available on the PlayStation Store.

-The Heavy Rain Official Soundtrack – Recorded at the legendary Abbey Road studios, and filled with the powerful orchestral themes that form a key part of the experience of playing Heavy Rain.

-Dynamic XMB theme – Lend a little Heavy Rain ambience to your XMB.

Those of you who don’t fancy shelling out for the Collector’s Edition will still be able to get your hands on the DLC shortly after the release of Heavy Rain in early 2010. Stay tuned for more info on the game as it breaks.

i love this game. it has great story and it feels like you are a part of it. it did freeze on me a couple times so far. for anyone that finished it, how many hours did it take?

 

[Codey47]

I recieved the collecors edition last week. So far I like the game. It makes a nice change of pace to the games I'm familiar with.

Had a freeze (well a sound glitch and the screen went black, but didn't crash)
Patched it to the latest version and so far so good

You can replay the final chapter for a few of the endings. Then you can replay the story from certain chapters to get others. You don't have to do full play-throughs.

 

[mobius387]

and you have 21 different endings to go through for the platinum

maybe thats why they only made it 8 hours to play through

 

[DaMexiRican]

I can't wait to play it

Meet the real Ethan Mars

Heavy Rain has been widely praised for its near-faultless character animation and acting, but what of the actors behind the avatars? Well, we had the pleasure of being introduced to the actor who plays Ethan Mars, a single father looking for his missing son in the game. This is Pascal Langdale, an English actor who’s background in largely in theatre, but who you may also recognise from his appearances in shows like Extras, Casualty and The Bill. As you can tell from the images above, he not only lent his voice to the character, but also his likeness and perhaps most importantly he did all the mo-cap work too.

The process was a complex one as we understand it. Mo-cap of body and face had to be done separately so each scene needed to be repeated on an empty sound stage in full mo-cap gear and then repeated in a tiny booth with motion-tracking dots placed in key positions on the face. Each scene also needed to be repeated several times to account for player choices and responses so that no dialogue felt out of place with the emotions of the scene the player will be choosing to create. All the hard work appears to have been worth it though as the final results really speak for themselves.
