Heavy Rain is all about choice. To get the most out of the game, when it arrives next month, you’re going to need to play through the story (which takes about eight hours) more than just once – and you’ll not only be experiencing the way the story can lead you given the decisions you make, but you’ll also unlock different Trophies depending on your actions.
Sony have told TheSixthAxis today that there’s a reason most of the Trophies in the game are hidden, and this is due to the way the game’s plot ebbs and flows with the conscious choices you make as you play. “They vary for your different choices,” a Sony rep told us this afternoon, “and it would be a bit of a spoiler to know them in advance.”
“You will need to play through multiple times to get them all,” he confirmed, “because different choices result in different Trophies.”

So, I guess the trophies will be a little longer lasting to get than the Terminator Salvation ones..
Sounds good to me..

Most story led games require more than one play through so this isn’t exactly groundbreaking.

Thanks sony you have really enlightened me as I had no idea that this would be the case. Do they have anything else to tell us that is not blindingly obvious? Like filling everyone in on the godforsaken wavystick that has no release date, a billion names and doesn’t have a use! I don’t want more info released on heavy rain! Sorry nofi if I got a bit out of hand as you are only doing your job but you have to agree that sony seem to be a bit off the ball recently…

I’m not blaming him at all, I just think sony should release more relavent info rather than ‘you have to play through a game that has multiple endings more than once to get different trophies.’ I’m sorry but is that what they have to say? What is that!? Do they think that everyone can’t think for themselfs? Hmph

You were on about me? I wasn’t blaming him either.
I was implying that Sony could have said something a bit more.. relevant, than something extremely obvious like “It will require multiple playthoughs”.

If the storyline is so multi-pathed, I don’t mind!

damn, i’m so clever!

Yup… although each character has multiple decision branches every step of the way, so you’ll need to multiply 4 characters by the decisions they can make and thats assuming none of them die and you continue playing without them

Finding trophies on this game could be a bit like Groundhog day for me, I can’t remember what I did just now, let alone play through and purposefully make different decisions………..what was I saying?
