Heavy Rain Comparitive Collection

  • May. 29th, 2010 at 4:53 PM
antoj: (invisible balls)
So in similar style to my inFAMOUS collection post, I'm going to post up my Heavy Rain stuff. It's significantly less, but I do have three versions of the game. :'D still have more infamous though.

o boy kitty wat u got dere...


first of all my poster i just put up. yes i didn't crop my infamous poster out because it is a cool bro too. ffffffffffffffffffff but i like this poster mmhmm. and jayden and ethan are next to each other so obviously makes it a +10 (i'm dumb ok).

okok

From left to right~> limited release special edition, generic north american release, and the "origami" version (it's a press kit).


this is the inside of the non-exciting north american release. also i just want to say i don't like the cover of the NA version. why is madison prominently featured on the front cover. i mean idk if its just me but shouldn't ethan be the one more prominently featured? ....idk..... i think they just wanted to promote the game using soggy wimminz. but i am not approval. but no one cares what i think.


origammy version. it looks so boring. also i just wanna say i imagined this thing to be bigger than it actually was when i got it. D: maybe cuz the inFAMOUS press kit is huge. and comes with art and stuff too ffff


oh boy some hints to what it is!!11!!!


it folds open and looks like a cool nasty bro. the insides of the folded pieces have pics of the characters. YOU CAN SEE A MADISON HERE.


more folding out. shelby and jayden on the inside of this bits here.


ethan is on the bit that folds out in front of the discs.


some cool stuff on the other bit.


this is it all folded out entirely. :o cool.


it has two discs, yea. the first disc is probably the game (i haven't put it in yet because i don't rly fancy 9000 installs of hr on my ps3 like i do with infamous D:) and the second disc (the asset disc) is full of images and information about the studio/actors/characters/etc/etc. it's really neat. :o i pulled off some images and character bios off the disc already. the images are really really big (like 10k+ px wide lol) so its like super HD time. they are beautious let me tell you. but yea. that's the press kit!!!!!!! COOL!!!!!!1


And now for the limited release special edition. :o Apparently this was only for sell in *one* store in the UK, and then in australia it retails at over 100USD. I got this sucker on eBay for $50 shipped from the UK. Which is less than I paid for my standard NA release. :I stalking ebay like a creeper really does pay off sometimes!!!. i kept the flash on so you can see the shiny 3d rain effect things on the box. :o spiffy.


the back of it (left) compared to the NA one (right). gee i sure think the SE is a lot cooler. :[


it has a much nicer layout ok. look at that.


much like the inFAMOUS one, it slips out of a cardboard cover to a 3 panel fold out thing. OH BOY ITS SCOTT SHELBY. :U


boobs.


Ethan is on the third fold out bit. origammy


HERE IT IS ALL FOLDED OUT!!!!!!!! also the code doesn't work and the origami paper is all folded but but w/e w/e i got this shit for less than retail.


the coolest thing is that this dude is like the instruction manual. its kind of confusing how it folds out all hueg but i like the art on it and stuff. :o


HURR'S THE BACK OF IT. DERPADERR.


i remember being kind of butthurt that i didn't see jayden on one of the fold out panels, so i thought oh hey maybe..... yeeeeeep jayden is hiding under the game disc. lol. but you know what this means...........


..........yea i'm really dumb plz ignore me.


so here is a picture of my cat sitting with her leg stupid to make up for that bad joke. :D

:U IT IS COOL OK. i like how the flash made it stand out more too c:

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF i guess. it just makes madison look like an important character WHEN SHE RLY ISN'T!!!!!!!!!1 i would have prefer soggy jaydens on the front but idk that might just be me

LOL YEAH I HEAR YOU MAN. She seems lame okay, like she's only around to touch Ethan's peen. :I Jayden and Ethan seem more like the main characters, but I haven't played the game myself SOOOOO yeah.

Silly boobs.

But no seriously that rain effect on the cover is freakin' sweet.

Yep, my cat frequently sits with her leg in the air. (She usually forgets to put it down after washing it.) XD

I want to steal your kitty! She looks so fluffy~ Both of my cats are old and fat and not as soft as they used to be.
[identity profile] antoj.livejournal.com wrote:

She is very fluffy. c: She has a nice coat too, so she's really soft. and softer after i get to bathe her, which isn't as much as I'd like to |D

Want that press kit sooo bad!

Did it come with those fancy postcards for each character or was that something these lucky bastard reviewers got seperate?

The press kit sells for a good deal of munz now. Generally over $150 (I lost 3 previous auctions for them, one of them went over $220 even). It's really neat though. :O the art on the disc is pretty cool! (but also you need a blu ray player (for your computer) to view the disc contents, as the ps3 doesn't open *everything* on the disc :\)

As for the postcards I'm honestly not sure where those came from. I was under the impression they were with the special edition, and it looks like the art that was on the postcards is on that fold-out manual that came with the SE, but either way I don't have them. Though most of the promo stuff I've been snagging has been from Europe. Maybe the post cards were US promotion items? for some reason finding promotional items for the US seems a lot harder, and I'm not sure why.

I can actually reply to this now LJ has finished derping around. (If it gives me another PAGECANNOTBEDISPLAYEDLOL page, I'm going to scream.)

I had a look around and it sounds like only reviewers were sent the postcards as bribes so I guess none of them have decided to put theirs up for sale.
It's because QD are French and were sucking up to the rest of Europe for good scores by sending out free shit because nobody likes the French. I'm just joking btw everyone! Please don't hurt me.

Actually, generally, sadly Europe seems to get nicer stuff. 99% of the stuff in my inFAMOUS collection outside of one super kickass book has all come from the UK.... aaaaaand Suckerpunch (the dev studio behind inFAMOUS) is an American based company. D: I think Sony-Europe is just a cooler bro in gen.

it makes me jealous ok

I'll have to keep an eye out for the post cards. THOUGH I DOUBT I WILL EVER BE ABLE TO AFFORD THEM AUGH.

Hi, I stumbled over here from the Heavy Rain LJ community. =D

And, so, sorry to pester you, but I was wondering if you had bigger versions of the pictures of the SE Instruction Manual? I want to read it, for some reason. D:

I'm also incredibly jealous that you have all that stuff.

Haha. I actually don't currently have readable pictures of them. I could try to get one though! I don't think it would be doable in my scanner, but maybe tomorrow when the sun is out I could try to get some better pictures. c:

Thanks for this!

And ahahaha, it really gives credence to that theory that all American releases have to have the characters on it. XD

I love the SE version with the wet effect though! So cool. The actual pic and back are exactly the same as the English release though. :) Which is cool to know~
[identity profile] antoj.livejournal.com wrote:
May. 31st, 2010 09:15 pm (UTC)
and not just *any* of the characters, they have to put the sexy lady in the front because obviously it is the only way to market games to american males. oh look at me over generalizing and totally not butthurt at the stupid NA cover :'D

The fake raindrops on the SE is part of what makes it so cool... I mean other than the cool fold-out thing too. |3

I was actually looking into the different releases of the game...because i like to collect this kind of stuff i guess? and so far i've seen that the japanese version has a different cover, but i'm not entirely too interested in it so i might pass.

Hmm, I didn't particularly notice that Mads was so prominent... probably because I just glanced and say it that she was standing out more my having light clothes and bare arms.. or something. Though your reason is more likely, tbh.

I had a look at the Japan cover, googling gave me a load of articles about how bad it is. XD Though tbh I quite like it. Not as good as the English cover, but still. :)

It's definitely not the *worst* cover they could have done... but its a little "UHHH WHAT" kind of... xD; IDK. someday when I have money again I might pick up a copy of it IF I AM SO INCLINED... but yeah.

Europe/Australia still got the best cover...and I guess I like the north american release slightly more than the japanese one. but idk. :I

Haha, yeah I was a bit 'wut' at first, but I think the concept's pretty clear (don't see what those bloggers weren't getting..) it's just the whole... well... nose aspect. XD It's definitely different though! So good for collecting in that vein. :)


And yup, I'm very happy with my European cover. ;) We seem to consistently get better covers, which is a small compensation for getting every game so late, I suppose.

Mines a regular edition, so I couldn't say. :) But if that special edition cover was from over here, then go us, I guess. :D

Yea, the Special Edition of both Heavy Rain and inFAMOUS that I have are both europe/australian exclusives. :C Though the heavy rain was apparently super limited release in the UK.

ITS JUST NOT FAIR OK.

Arggh...the Special Edition! I wanted that, but HMV in the UK sold out after the first few days...so I had to settle for the standard PAL version, as I did NOT have £100 to fork out!

I love the Origami fold out. So pretty. x

And why is Shelby so sinister looking in the NA release?!

This is why stalking eBay can pay off. I got my Special Edition for £37 shipped...to the US. (Which is less than what I paid for my domestic copy of the game.) I sometimes wonder if the person that listed it is kicking themself seeing as every other copy I've seen is listed for easily double that (or more).

HAHAHA I NEVER NOTICED THAT BEFORE FFFFFFFFFFFFFF. idk man but i'm not entirely fond of that cover anyway. I guess it's better than the japanese cover but I prefer the EU/AU version much better. :[

HELL YES!! Well I like Infamous as far as I've played it, Heavy Rain of course, Pokemon, Zelda and Animanga like Digimon and Death Note for example!! Ok, that's not a billion but already enough of awesome stuff I guess!!
