Heavy Rain is one of my favourite PlayStation 3 exclusives. Period. The interactive journey was one of the most memorable experiences I have had in gaming, introducing me to multiple characters, and allowing their stories to intertwine in unique and interesting ways. Though these characters were dealing with the actions of a crazed murderer (known as the Origami Killer), Heavy Rain succeeded at making us care and relate to their emotions.
Heavy Rain developer Quantic Dream wasn’t scared at pulling the rug from beneath our feet, if we made a mistake. Significantly, if players were to mess up certain quick time situations, characters that played pivotal roles in the narrative could die. There were no chances to react, or fix these mistakes, as the game would continue with these repercussions effecting the story taking place. One of my personal favourite characters never made it to the end of Heavy Rain, simply because I screwed up. This made Heavy Rain deliver a sense of intense dread throughout each scene."

Elliot Page and Quantic Dream are developing a television series adaptation based on the video game Beyond: Two Souls.
Ever since Heavy Rain, I've been supporting Quantic Dream. They put heart and soul into their work and create art.
That art might not be for everyone, but it's polished, well designed and engaging for those that enjoy it.
I bought Heavy Rain just to play on my brother's PS3 each weekend, travelled home from uni just to finish it. What a great experience!
Heavy Rain was a masterpiece and one of my top 3 best PS3 games.
Beyond was solid as well but not as good.
Elliot Page is nonsense 🤦🏻
This is actually my favorite Quantic Dream game. I thought the story, supernatural stuff, and cast was great and super interesting. Hopefully the show will be good.
Same here, This one i liked the most. The variety in scenery and set pieces was refreshing and the supernatural aspect was well executed.
I am a bit biased however because I love all interactive movie like games

One of these days I will find this at a Redbox, my luck though the game will be like $20 by then
Was a little disappointed by Beyond .. Only played through once and didnt feel the need to play it again. Whereas Heavy Rain I ended up getting the platinum trophy.
I got a brand new one on sale for AU$24.95 a couple of weeks ago.
Graphics I believe is simply stunning, controls aren't too bad, but the story has a lot of cracks and misses.
Some racial, political agendas gone wrong in there as well.
As for the plot I played it firstly being mostly positive, second time around I'll do it being mostly in negative mode and see if situations do change..
