Forums - Sony - Heavy Rain officially hits 1 million

Barozi on 13 April 2010

Hi everyone, I’m pleased to announce that since its launch in February, Heavy Rain has hit is millionth mark in sales worldwide! Congratulations Quantic Dream!

Praised by media for its gripping storyline, thought-provoking themes, innovation and engaging example of non-linear storytelling, it’s no surprise that more than a million gamers agree.

Don’t believe us? If you haven’t played Heavy Rain yet, then take a look at the following trailer highlighting the award-winning, critically-acclaimed, and one million unit-selling Heavy Rain!

In addition, the only true way to experience what makes Heavy Rain so unique is to download and play the PSN demo for Heavy Rain straight from the PlayStation Store.

We hope you’re enjoying Heavy Rain, and the newly released Taxidermist Level (available on PSN for $4.99). But, if you’re looking for more, continue to check back here on the PlayStation.Blog for the latest updates!

I know CGI made a thread about it 2 weeks ago, but I thought an official confirmation is worth an extra thread.

Still haven't played it yet (demo aside), but I'm going to buy it in the next weeks. Could someone tell me how long the game is (I know there are several ways to play it, but I only wanna know the normal playthrough time)

It's an awesome achievement, even if VGC called it already

And about 8 hours should do it I think, that was my playthrough time anyway.

just a shade under 9 hours for me. its a decent lenth.

after complettion you can just easily start new game, i want to finish it with all 4 chars alive.



...not much time to post anymore, used to be awesome on here really good fond memories from VGchartz...

yeah about 8-10 hours for a playthrough, if you want to platinum it, try to keep all your guys alive on 1st playthrough, makes it alot easier, unless you want to replay from start each time to try different stuff - I have yet to ever play a game a second time after beating it, started to on WKC but when I found out I couldn't do MP again until I progressed through game a bit I said meh.. and also attempted another playthrough of ME2 but the game froze on me near end of 1st cutscene :P

(PS: Cutscene and playthrough should be a word)



Unicorns ARE real - They are just fat, grey and called Rhinos

Does this mean its overtracked then? Because Sony says Uncharted 2 has sold 3.5m copies

I want to say my play through took between 8 and 9 hours; play time was split over two days of a weekend. I have to add that I can't remember the last time I played through a game that quickly (over a single weekend, not the total number of hours played), due to wanting to see how the story ended.

I only received one epilogue though and I'd like to see some of the others.

Offhand, I'm kind of thinking that most players will be content to see one ending, assuming they don't get a really bad one, which may end up hurting the longevity of sales, even with periodic chapters being released via PSN.
