Get the Heavy Rain demo now because you're a cheater photo

Want to play the Heavy Rain demo now? Complete the mystery of Sony's Heavy Rain ARG and win a code to download it today. Or, alternately, skip the headaches, and get the answers here and right now.

The four pieces of evidence (which you'll enter over at Precinct 52) are:

  • Short cigarette (117b)
  • Origami bird
  • Coffee shop C (which reads "diner")
  • 117h ("tyre tracks")

Once the code is redeemed, you'll have access to download the game's demo, which features two playable sequences -- one with detective Nordan Jayden, the other with private investigator Scott Shelby.

If you don't feel like going through the hassle, the demo hits PlayStation Network next week. The full game hits stores on February 24, and you'll be able to read our full review on February 10. Those are a lot of dates. Keep up.

Yeah, site's down. Too many people cheating, I guess.

So, the review on February 10th is going to be a double review or something?
Nick Chester and Jim Sterling or just Nick?

I was going to do this...then I realized I have SO MUCH left of White Knight Chronicles to play yet so I will skip the heck out of this early demo.

@Jack. I'm not even going to fan those flames. Just sayin', if we can get multiple reviews, Dtoiders would win.

I think Jim's on his own with this one. But we've both completed the game and discussed it at length; we pretty much see eye-to-eye on this one.

Review on the 10th!

All in all I'm kinda intrigued by this one. I'll probably be disappointed but I'll still be happy as long as it's a fun, well-written experience. At least the graphics look good.

Nick hates fun. Jim causes too muchuva riot.

Since he gave a game I like a 10 I say Brad reviews all the games I want from now on. Starting with Heavy Rain.

The site is now saying they're aware of the issues due to the high demand, and are working to fix it.

Just release the damn demo on PSN like, right now, for everyone. That'll fix everything right there.

Wow, it's hard to believe a SONY server is running slow or is down. This is a first. Bwaahahaha.

SONY buy some new servers yo's, may I recommend some HP Proliants?

I'm not going to lie; I'm very excited for this review. The movies I watched had a distinct "uncanny valley" look about them, but I'm curious to see if this is the next evolution of adventure games. If it does well, I could see a lot more high-def, next-gen adventure games, which would be downright fantastic.
Or it could be a bunch of quick time events paired together. Hence, my ongoing curiosity.

@Shadowiii: I too would absolutely love to see the return of adventure games. Especially if they were no longer confined to only being on PC.

So, wtf?

They make you register on the official site before you can play the game, then they sign you out with no way to log in?

As much as I've been having a non-stop orgasm about the game since it's announcement, I think I can wait a few more weeks. There's way too many awesome games coming out at once. :)

sorry for dbl post but I had a new thought, if the site is down, I guess that means people are really interested in the game and want a taste. Really hope sony's gamble pays off

Looks like I'm getting snowed in today, so this would be perfect.

Here's hoping this Precinct 52 gets its stuff together soon.

Nope, down again. It was up, and I tried logging in, then it just hung, then I refreshed, and the database error is back!

I got the site to load, but every time I try to register it gives me a database error. No good.

Go to http://site.precinct52.com instead of simply precinct52.com. It still works for me.

To be specific: http://site.precinct52.com/case1117_briefing/en_GB but you should be redirected there automatically.

Goddammit, I worked through a half-loaded website to get the code and once I finally got it, PSN is telling me it's not valid. WHY?! I have to leave for work soon. BLARGH!!!

Judging how Jim said "EEhhhh..." on podtoid on when asked about his opinions on Heavy Rain after beating it, I'm not expecting him to like it very much and rate it higher than a 6/10.

If someone got one already, shouldn't the same code work for everyone? I remember the Battlefield 2 Beta for the PS3 just gave the same code to everyone who joined, if I remember correctly...

It's a trick I know it! The website is designed to be down so people get high hopes just to have it DEMOLISHED when they visit the site and find out it's 'down' because of all the traffic. DAMN YOU SNEAKY DEVS!
