*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.

If you want to discuss spoilers please do so here, from now story discussion in the main thread is a banable offence.

Man, kind of a heartbreaking story so far. But I'm really loving this game.

[gino]

I'm loving this game so far. i had to pause a lot of times just to think about my decision. I'm on my last trial

[Show spoiler]
Pretty much I'm given a choice...drink a poison that will kill me in 60 min, but ill get the last letters where my son is and say goodbye to him... or just walk away and live...but my son will die. lol i dont know what to do

[Grim Reaper]

drink the poison...

[gino]

lol done....i paused the game for like 10 minutes to think about my decision and I'm in the part where I know who the origami killer is. I did not see that coming!

[silversnake]

Just finished it. Loved it, can't wait to go back and change my decisions.

Finished my first playthrough. My verdict, it's one of the best PS3 game, and one of the best in video game history. Definately top notch stuff. From graphics, to story, to OST.

In fact, the story was so good, I would say it rival some of hollywood's best offering. It's one of the most depressing game ever made. Truly an emotional experience. By midpoint of the game, I was completely on the edge of my seat. Full of suspense all the way through to the climax.

Though I got a happy ending. All warm and fuzzy.

With that said, another great exclusive confirmed. So far, this is my game of the year.

Ya, I got the same happy ending. I can't wait to replay and go evil now

[Blu-Generation]

It's funny how we're here in the spoiler thread, but not spoiling anything. lol

[mikejet]

I made different decisions than in the demo with the call girl and I regretted it

Also, Shaun HATES me

Is it better to pick Shaun first when you play with your two sons?

[Warjack Prime]

I thought this game looked cool but decided not to buy it, thinking there wouldn't be much replay value. It sounds like you guys think otherwise. I may have to consider.

I've heard 22 endings or so? Sounds like tons of replay for me.

I have two questions though:

Does creating a new game automatically wipe out any existing game?

On a second play though, can you skip brushing your teeth and the waiting time until the wife and kids come since that is obviously an intro to the controls?

Wow, that was excellent! I just finished my first time through it a few minutes ago and who the Origami killer was definitely caught me by surprise. Glad I didn't see any of the spoilers on that. Anyway, can't wait to play through it again and try to save one of the characters I got killed this time around. From the credits at the end, it looks like I should have been able to do that (from one of the snapshots that they show). Also, it was really surprising when I didn't die from the poison so I was glad it had a happy ending with that. Can't wait to check out some of the others scenes/endings.

Anyway, imo, they did a really good job with this game and while I was initially concerned over the voice-acting in the demo, it didn't bother me at all during the game. In fact, I thought it was pretty good for the most part and the story was defnitely engaging.

I'm on the last Oragami figure where you have to drink the poison to save your son, if you drink this will you not get the trophy for making sure everyone lives at the end of the game?

1)Nope, you have 3 slots where you can save different story modes.

2)I don't think so no, but you can choose to replay certain chapters instead.
