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.

  1. Now you can understand why I was upset when information about it releasing yesterday was leaked out there ;)


    • Yup.


    • Hi,

      I have completed the four day challenge and got my demo code but where do i download the demo from? Do i do that on my ps3 through the store? or do i download on my pc, im confused lol

      cheers.

      P.S What a fucking amazing game this is!


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


  3. No do you understand why I’ve been repeating myself about his OVER and OVER again on Twitter? I did everything but actually tell you outright!


    • OK fine, i should have listened *goes and signs up* HAPPY NOW? ;)


      • Yes you should have…silly, silly :P


      • oh shh mike :P

        got my code and my lady is being kind enough to download it for me now so i can play when i get home. thanks for the tip TSA and EUBlog :D


      • Honestly, I felt like Rain Man saying the same thing over and over again…


      • Heavy rain man more like.

        I’ll go.


  4. i have my demo downloading as i type this now.


    • thats just mean…. :(


  5. 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.


    • yes its worth it


      • 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.


      • yes you can still sign up now, kotaku also has a post giving all the answers.


    • 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.


  6. What the hell is this 4 days thing?!? Im at school atm, so ill check it out later when i get home.


  7. Damn, I knew I should have kept playing that!


    • if you signed up for it you should have still been getting the emails from heavy rain so just check your junk mail box for them


  8. Well i’m trying to sign up now and the bloody page doesnt work :(
    In all honesty i cant be bothered with this, but i’d like to play the demo, any kind readers wanna inbox me the answers please? (i love you loooong time)..


  9. Zuler’s just told me how to get it really easily…


    • Spill the beans then! :D


    • Tell me please….the site keeps crashing :(


  10. 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.


  11. Hmm, do you have to go through Playstation Home to get the answers? I hope not, I haven’t updated that thing in over a year…


    • no you dont you can just go staight to the website above and claim you demo. the home part of the challenge was just abit of fun and nothing really to do with it


  12. Downloading now. This will be interesting.


  13. Got my code, will be downloading at lunch and sampling this evening. Really looking forward to this game.


  14. Only 700 megs to go! I’m giddy like a schoolboy…

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


    • and done.

      First impressions are good.


      • yeah very good


      • just played the demo and i must say it has really got me draw into the game and i did not pre order it but will now…can anyone tell me the best place to pre order it in uk


      • 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.


      • Up to 42.99 on HMV now, and the DMC is the dynamic theme an soundtrack…..meh!


      • So Discochimp is paying £42.99 Bad? When You Get Dynamic Theme,DLC And The Soundtrack?


  15. ahhh you gota love the internet
