It is finally a new game. It is not like a fps you get every month. Games like these come out may be once or twice a year. I dont think a game like heavy rain ever came out. Also the acton is really cool to. I hope this game does really well. This game shows tht a game does not have to be a fps in order for it to be good. Are any of you going to buy this?

 

Also does anyone know how much this game cost to make.

My estimate is $25 million based on 4 years of development by a team of 60 people on average (Quantic Dream). Their team size has varied between 40-80 people in the last few years.

So, $25 million dev cost (not including marketing expenses, which certainly is at least another $5-10 mill) means Heavy Rain needs to sell well over 1 million copies to break even.

I would guess more due to the amount of CG and VA work that was done

Your right, but I didn't want to go outside of the regular calculation formula cause people would say I overexaggerate the costs of a PS3 game.

There's no button mashing in Heavy Rain.
