Fans of immersive, engaging narrative are being spoiled by today’s news. Following on from the half-reveal of the next Alan Wake, we have news of a retail refresh for Heavy Rain.
The Director’s Cut version of the game will go on sale in the US next week for just thirty of your newfangled colonial dollars. That’s less than a third of a Benjamin, if those rappers taught me anything about maths.
It features the game, of course, as well as a plethora of extra content. The Taxidermist DLC, official score (which is brilliant) and the eight “making of” videos are probably highlights for most people. There will also be three dynamic themes, 15 new pieces of concept art, two bonus trailers and a new menu front end that’s fully Move compatible.
There’s no word of a UK/EU release as yet but hopefully it sells strongly in the US and we get to see it here too. The more people that get to play this kind of game, the better.

What hell. I can’t be the only person on the whole internet who knows about the existance of the Move Edition. The Dir Cut edition and the Move Edition are exactly the same.
As far as I know the Move Edition is PAL only so no surprise that NTSC regions get their version. (even if it’s so late)

Seems a bit crap this director’s cut. You can get HR for £15 or less nowadays and the DLC is £5. It would have been nice to include some cut content, New content that they didn’t have time to put in the game and would not be worth selling as DLC etc..

Echoing others sentiments, this seems rather pointless. If only they had devoted more time to the promised DLC instead.

Fans who bought the game on release however, arn’t being rewarded & are getting stung for their enthusiasm.

Rubbish.
They clearly were- they got the game 21 months earlier.

Just the official score would be great. there is quite a lot included though so I would think that anyone who doesn’t have it (in the US atm) should get this now :)
