*SPOILER WARNING* Heavy Rain Story Discussion. No tags required.

Since HR is such a story driven game it is probably best to separate out story discussion from the main thread entirely.

Anyone know how much the DLC episodes will be? I remember reading that the Madison Page section where she is in the club with that sleazy guy is from the Taxidermist.

First off, I've heard that there exist 22 different endings for Heavy Rain - is this true? If not, what's the actual number?

Second, first time around playing the game, I completed it with all four characters still alive. The second time I played the game, all characters were still alive, however, the ending consisted of Madison and Ethan only without the help of Norman.

Hence, I've noticed once finishing the game, there are the "bonus" materials option along with the ability to load a certain chapter of the game. Thus, when it comes to attaining all the different endings, can we just load the last few chapters and just change the decisions from there or do we actually have to play the entire game again, etc?

Your advice on what is the easiest way to attain the different endings would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

All endings are just a matter of combinations. Depends on how you want to play it. You do not need to play the whole game over again to obtain the different endings. Just load whichever chapter you want, and go about from there.

Example, load a chapter where you want the characters to die and let that story flow. Keep repeating over and over. As I said, all endings are just a matter of combinations. You either get everyone dead, or everyone alive, or some live and some dies.

yeah you can reload the last chapter and beat it again differently (according to ps3trophies.org)

I HATE the QTEs in this game. I messed up ONE time and Norman (the fbi guy) gets killed and I don't get the "four heroes" trophy. So I reload and beat that part. Then, once again, ONE slip up and I take a sledge hammer to the forehead and die.

This game is just as annoying as it is beautiful.

The exact same thing happened to me during my first playthrough. Norman died because I failed to press the last button during the QTE. I thought I was not going to get the four heroes trophy because of it but it unlocked, so I got it anyway. Maybe Norman doesn't count as one of the heroes?

That happened to me alot too during the fight with Scott so I lowered the difficulty.

I think its because he (and the others) made it to the final scene you got the trophy.
