Sony Addresses Heavy Rain Problems

As it was reported earlier in the week, Heavy Rain is having some problems with freezing, locking up, and glitches. At first, it was thought to be due to the 230MB patch, but it appears that may not be the case after-all. The issue has finally been addressed by a Sony developer. He reassures everyone that this problem is only occurring in a low population of machines, Sony is working on a solution to release to the public so everyone can enjoy the game without a problem.

Hadn't even got in the shower, had a look outside and a wander around the rooms and my sound stopped, when I quit the game, it reset the console.

Ah well, minor glitch aside... back I go! :)

Saaking5925d ago

I finished the game and I've replayed some of the chapters. I have yet to see any problems (other than the slightly annoying stiff walking).

villevalorox5925d ago

The only issue i had was sometimes the audio would cut out for a blink of an eye and some screen tearing.

harrisk9545925d ago

The internet always blows this stuff out of proportion and makes it seem like it is happening to everyone...

BkaY5925d ago

when a game has updates or gameinstalls. i dont play the game right away after the installation.. i quit the game and restart the console..

it works most of the times...

this has some screen tearing prob... no biggie...

PEACE - HAVE A NICE WEEKEND

came home from work around 3:30pm, their was a unknown key placed in my mailbox along with my regular mail. I don't know where this key came from, nor what it belongs to. I have never seen it before, thou looks like its a car key, but i don't own a car and their is no identifiable marks on the key. This is by far the strangest thing I've ever had happen, and my mailbox was empty on the 24th cause I checked and paid my bills.

feelintheflow5925d ago

but I have had sound issues, and occasional screen tearing. It has only frozen up one time, during the crime scene chapter, when I went to put on the glasses, I turned away and it froze. Had to re-boot and start the chapter over. Other than that, nothing has been wrong. The sound issue is the only one that bothers me, you miss out on dialogue. Somehow I knew that Saaking would not have had any problems so far.

matarchy5925d ago

Can they fix the issue of freezing with UC2, I am on my second run through and it has been freezing about every six chapters. It is getting a little annoying.

Bigpappy5925d ago

Sorry to hear the game has bugs. That could be annoying. But, if the game is good enough, people will overlook the flaws and wait for the patch. Morrowind had a lot of bugs when it was released on the 360. I just saved a lot and kept on playing until the patch came. Still my favorite game till this day.

Got the original 60gig.
I have consistent problems with speech dropping/muting (ok when there is text, but I had the bug happen when Jayden is using his glasses and the voice and text of him inspecting would not show up at all, so I had no idea what the clues are). Few times of people in the back ground/"extras" are in the wrong "starting position" and walk right through the story characters or going through stuff. Had only one crash where the whole screen went crazy and made a continuous loud sound. Other small issues like late/low rez high rez texture pop in.
Started this game day one with the patch, had problems so I removed the patch, got other problems so I installed the patch again but still had problems.
Today I was playing as Madison, made a mistake so I exited menu (when there was no save sign, then went back to my save, started at the beginning of the mission, but at the end where I chose a different rout, the play back voice of the end was the bad choice I made last time while the on screen was displaying the new choice I made, but with Madison's body missing in the scene. Guess the game remembers and made her model appear at the last bad choice I made. Pretty funny so I let it go to the next chapter then I turned off the PS3. I wonder in the save which choice it'll give me, either the good or the bad when I go back to Madison's chapter.
So far this is the buggiest game I've ever played. Even though still enjoyable restarting and playing the same chapters again, it really take away the experience (which is the most important part of this game, to suck you in) when the bugs happen so often.
Anyway, still love the game, just sux to be the unlucky one getting the constant bugs.

WhittO5924d ago

Just been playing past 4 hours, wow this game is so interesting and tense to play! Loving it so far, nice break from the constant blah action of MW2 etc.

As for issues, had no freezing or locking up yet, that goes for U1 & U2 aswell for people having issues with those games.
Although there is some screan tearing and glitching but im guessing thats just the game - seems hard to run with all the high res textures of environment/AI etc.

On the original 60gb here, still going strong :D (you just have to treat it with respect haha)

i had to reset the system and begin the chapter all over again.

Daves5925d ago

Well happy to say, didn't happen again.

GRAMMAS BOY5925d ago

The screen just froze....so I just held on the power button..not 2 bad.

Szarky5925d ago

Mine froze as well when your sitting on a bed about to bandage up somebody (don't want to give too much away to the people who haven't got that far yet).

Had to restart the PS3, sort of sucked considering how few of my games have ever froze.

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.

BLAKHOODe2009d 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.

sourOG2009d ago

No. Some games are like movies.

medman2008d ago (Edited 2008d 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.
