Heavy Rain Comparitive Collection

[antoj]

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

And of course the US release has wet boobs on it, duh don't you know anything about marketing!!!!

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?

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.

[kurenai-tenka.livejournal.com]

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~

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?!

[adventureland.livejournal.com]

OMG this is so awesome!! I got the other special edition but this one is so boss compared to it. And that poster... WANT.

Your kitty is like the cutest thing ever btw.

I know this is totally random but, wanna be friends? *___*
Just noticed that we have like 1 billion of fandoms in common and I love me some new lj friends who like games as much as I do!!
