You can try to touch her or is this a joke ? I just made 4 attempts but it didnt worked what exactly do you have to do. If I go near her I can just sit on her bed thats all. Sometimes she cries or smokes. I always give her the 50 bucks.Go to her and make her talking about her son. I managed to pick up the picture of her son and she talked about him but thats all. If you are rude she kicks you out. You can help her or not.

Some people might not be impressed yet because this demo is way to short to show how deep the impacts of your decisions will be (atleast I hope so) But after those two scenes there are a lot of paths which you can choose. And this will influence the game pretty much later. If its like I imagine, it will be revolutionary.

Later in the game there will be scenes and maybe even locations and persons you can only see if you made the right decision imo. And the Plot will also change this game will be awesome the reviews already showed that its a good game and I read mostly positive things about it.

from the sound of the reviews though, the demo is like 10% of the game :-/

I hope it's longer than indigo prophecy at least.

That's a great question.  Personally, from the demo, I think HR would be a game that would work very well with Arc or Natal while holding a controller ('cause I don't go for the whole 'no controller' angle and wouldn't accept walking in place to move around).

The challenge I see is that, if you look at the fight, you have a more realistic fight that other games using controls.  Falling onto tables, grabbing stuff, blocking blows, swinging your opponent something, etc.  However, QD (and other developers who don't even try for this level of realism) clearly struggle with having a consistent, non-prompted way of achieving this.  The problem with prompts for me is you have to watch for them rather than watch the game - it inserts a 'follow the sequence' mini-game into the proper game.

To break this I reckon either different input methods are required - for example, with Arc, you could move the controller in the direction you want to grab for something, and press a button it initiate the grab.  Or jerk the controls around to throw someone off (I guess Sixaxis can do this too).

I'm still fairly convinced that with some though you could have a consistent set of controls even on Dualshock, but I can see the challenge.  But I'm sure someone will crack it at some point.

Ten percent? What, the demo lasts about ten minutes, maybe twenty? Don't know what those reviewers were sniffing, but it'll take at least seven to eight hours for a single playthrough and considering the fact that I had all different endings to someone else who played it, replay value is significant.

@ OP

OH MY GOD CALM DOWN.

Sometimes when you give her the photo of her son, she begins to cry, you can try to comfort her and clap her on the shoulder. But as i tried she kicked me out.

You know, what someone on the internet thinks about the game really shouldn`t affect your enjoyment of the game. The defensiveness of some people these days is embarassing. Heavy Rain, looks like a fantastic and unique experience, but its uniqueness will turn some people off IMO.

That's true, but there isn't one for the prostitute though as she is not a character you play with.

I knew Heavy Rain was awesome since E3 2005 lol :D.

Demo was great and I can't wait for the full game!!!

Though the demo did slightly annoy me with one thing... Holding R2 to walk... That IMO is kinda bothering really. It gets uncomfortable after awhile. But that single irritation hasn't changed my mind whatsoever.

True =) but you were talking about the prostitute at first, so that's why I stated the previous :)
