It's not going to get good marketing, it's coming out around the same time as MAG and God of War III.

Those titles will take a lot of hype and marketing away from Heavy Rain



I wonder do the people who invested in it expect it to be profitable?

I can see two mindsets that would invest in something like Heavy Rain:
-Interactive movies is a way to bridge movies to gaming, thus potentially being something more mainstream than the typical game
or
-I don't think this will make money but I'm willing to act as a patron and progress game art

I think the former would be mistaken, but while the latter is not my cup of tea, it's their money and it happens all the time in writing, painting, etc.



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

So you work for Sony, when did they inform you that this was the case? Please do tell...

From what i have seen Sony actually seem to be paying more attention to Heavy Rain than even God of War...



                            

I think it will sell a million. Like, 1.1 million. :3

This is assuming it lives up to its potential.

the same time? thats never going to happen dude. no one would like to release all their games in short periods.



@Carl.
its probably cause Heavy Rain , is a new IP . and sony wants more people to know about it.
almost everyone who plays games knows God Of War.



I think if this game get to sell 1 million it will be a great success, and if this game wasn't exclusive it would be tottally different. I think this would show the PS3 potential to people and that's good :D.
