PhysX does NOT require a PPU

The article erroneously assumes that a "separate" version of the game would be necessary to run on computers with a physics processing unit. However, NVIDIA's/AGEIA's PhysX SDK includes a full software solution that runs without the appropiate PPU. The only necessary "extra" version would be one with reduced numbers of physics objects, although this would probably only apply to games with a high amount of those. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.127.104.236 (talk) 21:41, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Irrelevant sections

I've moved talk sections that are outdated and thus irrelevant to the newer versions of the article. --Szajd 19:51, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Title

It's called Heavy Rain not Heavy Rain: The Casting or Heavy Rain: Virtual Actor Demo. The article is about the game that is coming, not the tech demo they showed. Allthough they are most likely the same thing in the long run. Havok (T/C/c) 20:44, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Tech demo?

Looks like it's just a video to me. The article shoudl probably be changed to reflect that Artw 14:56, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

POV

In the response section "Because this title is in its very early stages of development, there is a good chance its tech will improve dramatically." ??? can't you say that on all technology demos ?

I changed it slightly so that it'll sound less biased. I don't know if it should be removed completely, though

Camera

I work with Sony cameras pretty much every day and am sure that the camera graphics used are based on a Sony HVR-Z1 HDV camcorder, does anyone think this is worthy of comment in the main article? Kejoxen 23:09, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Made a complete overhaul

I just made a complete overhaul of the article [1], adding lots of details, all referenced. The only thing I largely kept was the plot of the tech demo -- it was quite well done, although I think it could be shortened a bit.

I deleted the "Response" section, and didn't add anything in place of it. Maybe I'll do it one day, but someone should go around and collect real responses and impressions referenced.

Please read through it, correct any mistakes I made (sorry if my English isn't 100% perfect), and discuss here any issues you find.

Thanks,

Quantic Dream website still under construction

Not really relating to the article, but might be important for information about the game.

As you may know, the Quantic Dream website is "under renovation" since January 2007. Up until now, the page said "We shall be back in shape on June 28th 2007." (See this Google cache page [2], from June 12, 2007). They've suddenly changed this sentence to "We shall be back in shape on July 25, 2007." (But still at the January 24th news article.)

I thought (completely my speculation), that we would get to know some more information about the game through the site from June 28th.

Just a heads up.

Is not under construction anymore... So I erased the part where says [under construction]. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.240.30.194 (talk) 21:04, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Platforms

Is there any confirmation that the games is going to appear on other platforms besides the PS3?

Yeah it is, but the video you saw or pics you have seen is just a tech demo for the ps3. But Heavy Rain is a game itself, for all consoles, except for Wii.

Is there a link somewhere that says that Heavy Rain is definitely a multiplatform title? Because I can't find anything that says it is.

. I removed mentions of 360 and PC. I have yet to see 100% clear proof. --Plankton5005 04:01, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Wikipedia editors,

Please refrain from declaring the game as a Playstation 3 exclusive, unless you can provide cited proof from a TRUSTED source. See Wikipedia:Reliable sources.

I have carefully edited the "Gaming platforms" section of the article, so it lists all relevant information, but doesn't judge by non-reliable sources.

Here are some of the paragraphs I cut out:

An extract from a gaming magazine^{[citation needed]}, lists "Sony" as the publisher of the game.

In an interview, it was confirmed^{[citation needed]} that Heavy Rain will be PlayStation 3 exclusive.

Sony Computer Entertainment of America announced on July 02, 2007 that they would be fully funding and publishing the Quantic Dream project. The game is announced as a Playstation 3 only title by Quantic Dream. ("REFERENCE": "Heavy Rain confirmed Playstation 3 Exclusive". Gamers-Creed. 2007-07-02.

The Details section mentions the PC platform in relation to PhysX, but this seems like a meaningless aside about the nature of PhysX in general, seeing as it is not quite clear yet if this game is coming to the PC at all. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 160.39.157.33 (talk) 06:23, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, that part about PhysX on the PC was mentioned in connection with Heavy Rain, by David Cage himself in 2006 (check out the reference). I put this in the article before everyone starting reverting back the article to say that it will only come out to the PS3. (Although nobody was able to show any valid reference about that [i.e. that the game Heavy Rain will only be out for the PS3.]) Anyway, it seems like this part was left in the article. If you really want to remove it, I say remove it; although I'd first like you to check the reference, and check out whether there are trustworty claims that the game will not be released for the PC. --Szajd (talk) 20:36, 20 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is this the mythical "BBC game"?

Increasing speculation on the internet that this is the mythical game shown to a BBC journalist which blew him away. Anyone know if any of the speculation is from "reliable" sources?

Should the article mention that this is reliant on Quick Time Event

I had to lookup what a Quick Time Event is while investigating the very different nature of the game. Seems this would be a benefit to those coming to wiki Heavy Rain. Rudolpma (talk) 19:25, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
