Forums - Sony - Heavy Rain Dev Believes it can SELL Despite PACKED Release Window!

sergiodaly on 02 November 2009

i think i will buy this as soon it hits the 25 pound price range... it wont have on-line play so it is not those type of games that we have worries about on-line community!

Proudest Platinums - BF: Bad Company, Killzone 2 , Battlefield 3 and GTA4

Hmm it could possibly do that, and my opinion if they make there money back from the game its a success.

I hate to say this because the game looks great, but I don't see huge sales for this game. I see 700k-1.1M LTD. I could be high, I could be low, let us hope it's the latter.

Agree with this post, also Munkeh above.  With so many sequels to established franchises releasing it is going to be hard for new IP's to carve otu a niche.  Still, I've been impressed with what I've seen of the game, and I enjoyed Indigo Prophecy so I may give it a rent to play on my roommate's PS3.

They already had my money.

I only want GoW3 and Heavy Rain now, so I'll definitely buy these two.

Quantic Dreams always deliver. I have faith in this game being very good, not selling so well though.
I think it fits well the PS3 demographic, but we both know that doesn't help much sales...



They will know Helgan belongs to Helghasts

What would you define as huge #'s?  How much is the budget for this game?

I don't know, 3-4mill maybe. I see it doing 1.5mill though, which is actually good. To know if it was profitable though, we need dev figures obviously.

Well they released their last game in 2005, and given the tech they are using, I think it is going to struggle to be profitable

I have no clue how Heavy Rain is going to do for it self. Well hopefully.

But if I had to choose one game from the entire console 2010 lineup that I wanted the most, Heavy Rain would be it. Screw God of War 3, Gran Turismo 5, Splinter Cell Conviction, Mass Effect 2, Super Mario Galaxy 2, every console game aside from Heavy Rain.

I want it so badly ;_;

1-1.5mill is about all I'm expecting. Regardless, I think Quantic Dream has the potential to be another Team Ico in their efforts with PlayStation.

But aren't they 3rd party?

@Munkeh111

same here, I WANT THIS.....but I may wait till its cheaper.

Quantic Dream is 3rd party, but HEAVY RAIN isn't a 1st party game. It's basically like Gears and Alan Wake.

Well it looks like Quantic Dream is 2nd party, but this information is according to wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_Computer_Entertainment



MY HYPE LIST: 1) Gran Turismo 5; 2) Civilization V; 3) Starcraft II; 4) The Last Guardian; 5) Metal Gear Solid: Rising

I want Heavy Rain SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BAD

I think it will struggle to get rave reviews and decent sales.

I reckon 81 on Metacritic and 800k LTD.
