So, Heavy Rain was on the Store after all, it’s just that it’s locked unless you complete the Four Days challenge.
Once completed, and the evidence is all submitted, you’ll get a code to download the demo which, according to this chap, is nearly 2GB in size.
So, hopefully you’ve been following the Four Days thing and you’ll be on your way to grabbing the code today – let us know what you think!
Update: it’s easier than that. Head on over to http://www.precinct52.com/case1117_briefing (assuming you’re signed up) and then choose 4 pieces of evidence. They are:
- The short cigarette butt from the cigarette butts
- The odd right hand driver picture from the tire tracks
- The diner with a Sphinx picture on it
- The Origami Bird
And the code will be yours. Thanks, Kotaku.

Huh, 4 days thing? Never heard of it. Let me guess, it takes four days before you can apply for the demo right?

I still don’t know about the demo. Will 4 days help me understand the game when I get it? Will the demo be part of the game or again something that can help me get the feel with no spolilers.

For Christ’s sake. Can this be solved in like, an hour? I really want to play the demo to see if it’s actually worth forking out £40 on a game whose main characters look like something straight out of Madame Tussauds.

yeah i think you can solve it straight away if you read through about 100 pages of people trying to solve it to get to the spoiler posts. but i dont have a clue if you can sign up still.

I’ll just swerve the demo ,seems a lot of hassle and this game screamsRental to me . Off topic I rented The Saboteur today and really like it , would never have risked buying after reviews but I got loads of free rental vouchers . If you are 30+ and enjoyed Commando, Victor and Battle comics and making AirFix kits back in the eighties then rent it out you will love it.

Pretty good reward for completing it there!
I’m not going to play the demo though. I’ll wait for the full game and keep it as spoiler free as possible.

I miss demo excitement, it doesn’t roll around as often as it used to.

Very good demo indeed
**Possible Spoiler**
Played demo twice – First time got no info and got beat up, second time got info and beat him up!! There is going to be so many permutations in this game it is unbelievable!!!
Can’t wait for this now

I really like it. I let the poor guy take a right pasting 2nd time around
I still got the info and a different end to the scene. That bit in the trailer, where you have to decide about chopping…….. that’s going to be friggin awesome!
It looks absolutely stunning and the gameplay has a little bit of the old school adventure about it.
The only niggle i would have so far is that i think there will be times when i will want to sprint.

Yeah lack of sprinting is the only bad thing, everything else was brilliant.

Best place to pre-order Heavy Rain is HMV, as they have an exclusive Collectors Edition containing the origami bird, the first of the episodic DLC and something else, £39.99 which is same price as the retail standard edition although you have to pre-order online to get this price.
