When you pick up Heavy Rain next week and get the voucher code that allows you to download the first episode of the Heavy Rain Chronicles: The Taxidermist, you will have to wait two more weeks to download it off from the PlayStation Store.

Is there a reason why this isn't already on the disc?

Triella5961d ago (Edited 5961d ago )

The Taxidermist is the ~15 minutes demo that was shown to shocase the game engine, it has nothing to do with Heavy Rain's plot, unlike the AC2 chapters that Ubisoft is selling separately as DLC.

DLC for Heavy Rain? Is that because it didn't fit on the disc?

It seems DLC is just part of this generation of gaming. We see it on the PS3 and the 360 in almost equal degree. It's mostly just a way for the developers to earn more money off their gaming franchises. As long as it is good I don't mind DLC.

The DLC has nothing to do with the main story line. Wouldn't make much sense to include it in the full game...

xHarvey5961d ago (Edited 5961d ago )

You still need the Disc for the DLC. The DLC has nothing to do with the main story line ? that's no excuse for not having it on the disc. Heavy Rain Chronicles is part of the Heavy Rain franchise.

right now i have the game(the original not the Chronicles) and it gives me a 256 mb update
whats that all about?
i know it's a bit out of topic/sorry

rdgneoz35961d ago

You're partly right. It would be nice if it was on the disc. Though seeing as its labeled as the first episode in the chronicles, not having the 1 part that is about done (though delayed a little) on the disc while they're going to be releasing other episodes as they make / finish them up isn't that bad.

It's more to play but it's a shame that it got delayed. Oh and if it was shown already how come it has got delayed ?

Please stop comparing video games to movies

"Many video games catch not only great commercial attention but remarkable critical attention as well. We have seen games like Heavy Rain, The Last of Us Part II, and even entries in the Metal Gear series described as fantastic interactive experiences, even heralded in the same way as Hollywood's greatest films.

I would suggest that not only is this an unfair comparison but also a harmful one. Video games, by their very nature, are an intricately different medium and should be weighed against one another rather than another form of media," Phillip writes for GF365.

Yes, please stop. They're better than most hollywood drivel nowadays.

BLAKHOODe2038d ago

I think Hollywood films will becoming increasingly more like video games in the future, especially as the world embraces the "new normal" from the pandemic. It makes sense, as games like Spider-Man: Miles Morales showcase just how realistically we're reaching in graphical capabilities, as well as showcase extreme action sequences in spectacular ways. And as time goes by, it'll get easier and cheaper to produce such "art", as well as create new star "actors" that never age, never die, never complain, never gets involved in scandals, etc. Technology is amazing and we're only just getting a taste of what it'll eventually be.

No. Some games are like movies.

medman2038d ago (Edited 2038d ago )

No. For the money spent, a quality game provides far more entertainment value than a quality movie. Especially when looking at what is going on in the world, and how a studio can attempt to pilfer from consumers by charging 30 dollars for Mulan via streaming. Ridiculous. There is no comparison....games all day.
