I pre-ordered and got it day 1 on PlayStation 3 so I was one of the first to have it upon release :3

Is there any point in me getting heavy rain if i know the guilty party ? ...no spoilers for others please.

I don't think it's ridiculous at all. It's a great game.

I thought single player ps exclusives didn't sell though?

Excellent exclusives sells

Of course it's the SP magic that's PS!

Quality deserves recognition. It doesn't always happen but when it does it is a nice feeling. Heavy Rain is quality. I'm glad it's sold well over the course of the years since its inception.

It got it's second pair of legs on PS4! That's freaking amazing. It's amazing, I remember when it got the first "9" from OPM, other editors from other journalist from gaming sites wrote to the Reviewer to find out why, and then went on to try and enjoy the game. Sony really took a big risk that paid off... It spawned confidence in the genre and the a slew of high profile titles that all broke a million

My 2nd favourite game of all time

exclusives don't sell and gamers like watching others play instead of playing

understand this QD went to ms to do this game and were denied due to that sexual blackmail scene

HUH!!! I totally slept on this game....Is it worth a try???

The game started out good but unfortunately was bogged down by too many plot holes and a ridiculous ending(the Agent's conclusion).

The game came out 8 years ago(?) and is just now reaching this milestone? I guess it's good news that it is still selling.

Excellent game and definitely deserves it. Simple minded retards insult quantic dreams style but anyone who appreciates great storytelling will love this game.

Great game, I was wary when I first heard about it but after the first couple hours I was hooked. Hopefully Detroit is just as engaging, it looks great

we're in for the long run baby. ;-)

Well deserved, one of the best QTE games and the best QB game atm

It has it's flaws, but it is a high quality generation defining game. Well deserved.

Read how games like Heavy Rain, LA Noire and Until Dawn appeal not just to gamers, but merely-observing audiences, too.

Could easily see a future of this genre in which fine-tuning of the game dynamics and design lend towards luring in and entertaining non-playing viewers just like a typical produced television series or movie. A platform in which the player is akin to a dynamic, 'in-motion/on-the-fly' scriptwriter/director.

The first major hurdle would probably be making sure such games steered away from repetitive scene attempts (id este: dying a lot at a hard part). Instead, playing a part ineffectively could just result in weaker upcoming experiences—hence better players could draw larger, more excited viewers.

Furthermore, this could kind of be like a movie being made multiple times with different scripting decisions.

That’s pretty amazing. And some people think there's no place for video games like this.... I remember being so excited for Heavy Rain releasing ( almost 8 years ago ) and just telling all my friends how excited I was to play it. I said “I’ll do anything to find my son” and boy did this game challenge me.
When I finally played it, I couldn’t believe how visually incredible everything looked, but also how engaging the story was, along with how interesting the characters were. I refused to kill that drug dealer, as Ethan, in the drug dealers kids bedroom & didn’t get clues to my sons location ( which made me an emotional wreck ) and than when my son died in the end. Hearing the man say something like “Please, I’ve got kids, i wanna see em again, and sobs” i thought “I wanna save my son, but not this way. This man has a family too.

In one of the last scenes, after I failed to save Shaun, Ethan shot himself at Shaun's grave, with Madison standing a few feet back. I screamed “Ethan, Nooo” just like her lol. Say what you will, but the game was an emotional experience beyond anything I’d ever experienced before in a game, at the time. Like David Cage said “We want to challenge the player, in their mind, not on the stick” that they did.

In the end, I cried myself to sleep, no joke, because I couldn’t believe I wasn’t willing to go far enough to save my son. QD, for me, accomplished their goal with the game.

Much love to Quantic Dream for crafting one of the best/most engaging games of the last generation & ever. I believe Detroit has the potential to be their best game to date.

I still have to buy this...

I loved this game. The story was full of massive laughable plot holes, but it was a good experience.

Heavy Rain and Fahrenheit are masterpieces. Heck, Fahrenheit is still in my top 10 games of all time and Heavy Rain was super addictive the first few playthroughs.

Well done QD, i can't wait for Detroit.

This game is perhaps the only reason why I brought move controllers back on the ps3 (still have them now for VR) and I was totally blown away by it. Whilst not a game that is for everyone, it was certainly a solid title and no doubt, the recent controversy (whether true or false) has probably helped it pass this milestone.

Wait, I thought single player games were not viable?

How much has Beyond: Two Souls sold

Love it!

I hope Detroit is awesome

Better than any telltale games, this is where you have some really choices to make.

That's great and all but, don't let this distract you from the fact that it took 8 years and 2 console generations to sell 5 million. As good as this games was it should've sold way more.

shawn !!! shawn !!!!! shawn!!!!!1 id love for HR2 with vr

B...b...but majority of gamers hates interactive movies and they should die already.

Whoo good work everybody

i bought heavy rain, too, it was ok. BUT i never bought and never will buy a game by quantic dream again. zero replayability except if you felt like doing the 20 endings. meh. but then again, i don‘t like playing or watching movies when i‘m gaming. usuall skipping every cutscene. so good luck to this genre.

Ummm... 8 years later? LoL this is the most absurd article

Still got my special edition for the PS3 knocking about somewhere, including the origami bird (that seems to find its way to random points around my house).

I feel kind of like a jerk I beat Beyond 2 Souls and have barely made it halfway in Heavy Rain. And now the backlog thickens. This will eventually come back to me. Right now working on platinuming the newest need for speed.

I loved this game so much bro

SHAAAUUUUUNNNNN!!!!

I have been waiting for it to go on sale on PS4, the bundle has but not the individual game.

Loved the game

Need to play this game from my backlog. Really enjoyed Beyond Two Souls and heard this one is even better.

Ok wait a second 5.3 million in 7 1/2-8 years those are horrible numbers and Sony fans will brag about something like this however it took Nintendo a few months to break those sales with Mario Odyssey and Microsoft a few months with Halo 5. Give credit where its due it took close to a decade to sell over million compared to Halo 5 and Mario Odyssey doing it in a few months thats crazy.

JASON!!!!!

What year is this?

I triple dipped 🤣

I love this game.

I love that Sony is giving them AAA budget to experiment with the medium. No one else has the balls to do that.

Game was/is phenomenal. I remember it had my grandpa hooked...and he didn't even speak English!

I remember when Sony said it was a niche game.
I remember when David Cage said he'd be happy with 200k sales.
It's sold better than most exclusives around.

Still have yet to play this. I will before Detroit is regressed.

I would rather play this excellent game ten times over again than to play any online multiplayer shit that is releasing in the next 5 years. Excellent single play story games are the reason i game. When and if they stop i stop gaming.
