  1. The Move Edition looks pretty good, really. It’s basically the Special Edition from HMV at launch, which I got, plus a couple more XMB themes and some making of vids… But there’s already plenty making of vids on the original disc anyway.

    Looking forward to the patch, I wonder how big it will be?

    • I did the exact same as you and yet … it sits on the shelf unplayed. I nearly started it earlier this summer and then I heard about it being Move supported so I thought I’d wait.

      Anyway, come the 8th I’m hopefully going to be giving Enslaved the once-over so maybe Heavy Rain will get a little loving during the Christmas/New year period.

      • Sounds like me an Uncharted 2. Bought, and told myself I’ll play it soon. Soon never came =( Hopefully when I get back home after October, and have some weeks to spare, I’ll give it a serious go along with the MP. Then it’s Heavy Rain!

  2. I’m going to pick this up for sure! Looking forward to getting the Move too =) Boy this season is going to be expensive for me.

  3. It should have included all the avatars too.

  4. il probably pick this up then.

    was extremely excited about this games release, then just never bothered to pick up a copy.

    same with demon souls.

    • Seriously, pick up Demons Souls. The Black Phantom edition is fantastic value and you won’t regret it.

  5. hopfully not mandatory
    as space is sparce

    • I doubt it will take up much room. A few icons, a bit of game code and maybe an extra options menu.

    • How could it be mandatory? No patch has ever been mandatory, you can skip them by pressing o. Just means you can’t play whilst online as it signs you out, which is not a problem for heavy rain.

    • So you can afford 4 GB of install, but not 500mb?

      • After reading what GT5 desired install-wise a few weeks back, I felt compelled to tidy up my HDD.
        After much dusting (MUCH!), I realised that PSHome had 12gb partitioned, wow! 12gb! Needless to say, I put paid to that. I very rarely use it and the icon remains even if you delete it.

  6. cool to try this out again, thats if i do get my new ps3 with move which is a doubt as the dates keep changing, but loved heavy rain and have platted it and with move it should be good

  7. Looking forward to having another crack at Heavy Rain with the move, it looks like it’ll be a lot more intuitive than the pad controls.

  8. I will surely wait for the move-editon.

  9. Will stick with my original thanks :) bring on move!

  10. Even though I’m not going to get Move because I’m not a motion-gamer,
    I still think this was a great idea that they re-released this game and supported Move.
    Best Horror/Drama game = Heavy Rain
