Want to Play in the Rain? Get the Heavy Rain Demo Now [Update]
Heavy Rain is easily one of this year’s most anticipated titles. So why wait until next week to download the demo from the PlayStation Store, when you can get it right now? We’ll give all the clues you’ll need to solve this mystery, after the jump…
Heavy Rain asks you: “How far would you go to save the one you love”, however the question at hand is really, how far would you go to get a chance to play Heavy Rain earlier than everyone else?
You’ll need to provide 4 vital pieces of evidence revealed through the Heavy Rain ‘Four Days’ challenge and of course you’ll need to be registered on the official Heavy Rain website; if you aren’t already click here.
If you’re registered just head on over to http://www.precinct52.com/case1117_briefing where you’ll enter the following pieces of evidence:
- Short cigarette (117b)
- Origami bird
- Coffee shop C (it says “diner”; has a picture of the Sphinx)
- 117h (tire tracks)
Enter these correctly and you’ll receive a code to download the demo from the PS Store.
[Update] It seems the storm of eager fans wanting to get their hands on the Heavy Rain demo early have crashed the site. At the moment only a message remains:
We are currently working to address some site issues caused by overwhelming demand.
Sincere apologies for the delay, and please check back shortly.
The site will likely be back up shortly.
Expect our review when the embargo lifts on February 10.

sunnofahbich. im not european!
hello …
i started to play the 4 days thingy, but with bad weather on my part of the world (heavy rain & thunder LOL) i couldn’t connect often & nearly got myself late on everything.
I shall try it later .. thanks for the hints
cheers!
kind of sucks for the people who have been playing it for real, (I’m one of those)
because now all the last minute/random people just want something free etc.
have crashed the site.
man thats weak i dont have a EU store account. Oh well I’ll just wait till it hits the store.
It’s wroking now…
Peace,
VG
crap I can’t get into this at the moment, too many people on the site maybe i’ll try in a minute, I hate those morons, I reckon it should have been on home and required both a password from the first puzzle and the T-shirt from PS Home. THAT way only people like and solidcake who joined for the game get the demo and not the morons who want a free gift at the last minute.
BTW sucks this they didn’t do it for NA, part of me wants to laugh at you american gamers but that would be horriable and low so instead I’ll just say that you should consider making a fake PSN account from the UK, if it’s for a free demo the SCE can’t really get annoyed.
After all it’s their fault for playing favourite with one region.
I can wait, lol..
i cannot fucking believe this, I still can’t get onto this site. This should only be for followers of the four day week and not last minute add-on’s to it because they heard they got a demo a week early.
It’s later and I STILL haven’t got onto the site.
Got mine earlier but awesome article A.S
! Heavy Rain is gonna be great…..
Keep trying the site u will get in……..
Nice Work psls.
yeah I did but it still gets me down, I’m preparing to upgrade my PS3 just for this game.
I redeem mine at US Store…
Yeah the demo code works on the US PlayStation Store as well
I don’t think it matters one bit really.
thanks for this. site seems to be working now. won’t be long before i test out the demo
Just played it. The fight scene was great, but overall, I didn’t love it. I’m definitely interested enough to pre-order though (gotta get that Taxidermist episode).
Yeah this works on US PS Store, downloads, and plays
You do not need a EU account period.
been Trying since 1130am CST just got mine 10 mins ago Lol.
Yeah Heavy Rain looks like a day one purchase to me. Not sure if I want the special edition, I might pick up the special edition just so I can get the DLC if I want it.
Demo was awsome I like the Controll Layout for the game and the Graphics are Simply Stunning Damn now Should i get this or Mass Effect 2 ? lol
lol, this didnt work on my EU account but when I went back to my main account (Canada) it worked. :S
Actually i just did it and it works and it is about 1.3 gb. However, seems to be whatever country you choose you live in while registering on heavy rain’s official site (before doing the evidence part) this is the account you have to use on psn. so use euro ps store if you registered as an European on the HR website!
I got the code and it didn’t work so I went through again got the same code and it still didn’t work. Tried on my US acct only anyone else have the message “code already used or invalid”?
@sizzler
Yeah that happened to me too… so I put it in my spain account and works. maybe you have to do it in european account or spain account if you do it in spanish. That’s a maybe anyway, worked for me, but the codes works just try in another region then
I got the demo. I finished downloading it but couldn’t play it cuz I had to go to work. I was thinking about not going to work so I can play it though lol.
Hey I created both a US and EU account on the site, and it allowed me to get a code for both my accounts. I entered the EU first, just to get in case US doesnt work, and am in the process of the downloading. So I go to the US version of site (same thing as EU), so I get the code. Go to US acct, and enter code for the same name of the demo. Now, I don’t know why, but when I looked at the downloading there are two different icons (i thought it would be like the game coverart), but it wasnt, I clicked status and the EU demo is a 1754mb download and the US is a 1384mb download. There is something going on here… Are there going to be different levels or are the final products going to be different? I will come back with more answers once it finishes downloading.
Played the demo and loved it!!! The controls take a few minutes to get the hang of, but after that it’s great. Loved the Shelby fight scene. Had me on the edge of my chair!
@matheaks
Same here. downloading them as we speak.
yep,it works again now, just downloading it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*update*
UK downloaded and installed. US stuck at 66% download… Dunno. Try again later.
Hello matheaks did u find out if the American download was different?
Got the Code, Thanks PSLS.
Now Im just waiting for the kids togo to bed to try it out!
I Can’t Wait!
[...] demo! If you enjoyed the demo, be sure to pick up the full game on Tuesday February 23rd. [Via Playstation Lifestyle] [Thanks to InfinitiProject for the heads up!] [...]
I love you PSLS
make saminseattle my words!!
Luv ya PSLS
downloading my demo now
from what I can tell the demo’s are the same for US/UK don’t know why the US is a smaller file size. The gamma settings were different between the two as well(US version was darker?).
