Heavy Rain Sells 2 Million Copies Worldwide But Second Hand Sales Eat At Quantic Dream’s Profits
Posted by Sakinah in Heavy Rain, PS3 on September 12th, 2011
Over a year after it’s release worldwide sales of Quantic Dream’s interactive drama, Heavy Rain, have reached the two million mark. Such an achievement for a unique new IP in this crowded market of shooters is noteworthy but according to studio co-founder Guillaume de Fondaumiere, Heavy Rain’s sales could actually be much higher.
“We basically sold to date approximately two million units, we know from the trophy system that probably more than three million people bought this game and played it.”
“On my small level it’s a million people playing my game without giving me one cent. And my calculation is, as Quantic Dream, I lost between €5 and €10 million worth of royalties because of second hand gaming.”
Fondaumiere blames the state of the economy for the increase in used gaming sales as consumers look for more affordable means to buying games. He also warns that if the situation continues developers will “stop making games if they can’t recoup a profit”.

Heavy Rain’s Successor Details Released – Not True – April Fools
Posted by Oly in Heavy Rain, QuickNews on April 1st, 2011
Quantic Dream designer David Cage had already said that a Heavy Rain sequel would be unlikely:
“I’m not sure there will be a Heavy Rain 2. I’m not a guy who does sequels, because, when you work on a story, you have something to say. It’s a response to a moment of your life and what you want to express. There are so many great stories to tell. That’s why just doing sequels of sequels of sequels doesn’t make any sense.”
However, he never said anything about not doing another similarly styled game. Well, now, new information has been leaked that details some of the plot for the next title. Check after the jump for more details about the plot.
David Milch Adapting ‘Heavy Rain’ for the Big Screen
Posted by Oly in Heavy Rain, Heavy Rain Move Edition, QuickNews on January 27th, 2011
Variety.com is reporting that David Milch, “creator/exec producer of “NYPD Blue” and “Deadwood,” will be writing the screen adaptation of Heavy Rain “once he’s finished work on the first season of HBO’s horse-racing series “Luck.”
Producers, Bob Shaye and Michael Lynne, of Unique Features, along with Warner Bros., are “fast-tracking the project,” so expect to see it sooner then later. This is all great news for us fans of this great PlayStation exclusive game.
Heavy Rain Deleted Scenes

Since it wasn’t just the video itself that contained spoilers, the ‘thumbnail’ also did, so I hid the entirety of the video under a spoiler tag. With that said, I think that some of the stuff that they showed here should have been included in the final version of the game, especially the Madison Paige bit, which would have made her less of such a mysterious character.
The other stuff? It’s rather obvious why they wouldn’t include all of that (what, with the weirdness and everything from the Ethan bits), but there’s no denying that the concept behind some of those scenes were a neat idea.
Move Support for Heavy Rain is Coming Sep. 22nd
Posted by Oly in Heavy Rain, Heavy Rain Move Edition on September 13th, 2010
The official PlayStation Blog has announced that on Sep. 22nd, Heavy Rain will be patched to utilize the new PlayStation Move controller. The PlayStation Move navigation controller (or a DualShock 3) and the PlayStation Eye (as with all Move games), will also be required to play. The DualShock 3 would have to be held in one hand and the Move in the other, which seems a little cumbersome to me, so I’d reccomend the Move navigation controller. There will also be a Heavy Rain “Move” demo available in the PlayStation Store on Tuesday, Sep. 28th. It will feature two levels “from the game, Sleazy Place and Crime Scene.”
“Heavy Rain has been given a PlayStation Move makeover so expect to be drawn into the action more than ever. Now, your every move will make a difference!”
Didn’t my every “move” make a difference before? 
Anyway, I’ve been meaning to go back and get all the trophies, and this will give me another reason to do that. I hope it’s as good as it could be!
Heavy Rain Success Surprises David Cage
Posted by Sakinah in Heavy Rain, PS3 on August 16th, 2010
..and me!
Heavy Rain director David Cage recently told gamesindustry.biz that he and Sony were surprised at the reception the new IP received.
“Heavy Rain is a commercial success and that’s not something Sony or Quantic Dream expected, to be honest,” Cage said in a packed session at GDC Europe.
The gamble of creating an adult game favouring emotion and storytelling over violence has paid off – Heavy Rain sold 600,000 copies in its first two weeks on sale, sold four-times the predicted amount in the US market, has passed worldwide sales of 1.5 million to date, “and we hope to reach 2 million soon,” said Cage.
Cage also hopes with the success of a mature game like Heavy Rain more developers will tap into the market.
“Stop making games for kids. Adult is a huge, untapped market – there is almost nothing for adults, I’m not talking about casual or family games. There is a real market based on sophisticated values. See yourself as a creator, not a toy-maker. Ignore the rules.”
