Heavy rain is the Best Game I've played in the past decade.
Is it OK to post spoilers on here?
Anyway, my favourite character has to be Norman Jayden in those bad-ass Neo glasses.

Yes. I'll edit the post title to something more noob friendly.

Awesome. I must have played the game about 20 times, trying to get my platinum.
Did you hear that they are planning to make a Heavy Rain movie?

THIS should have been the cover. Perfectly encapsulates Ethan's depression, and possibly, redemption.

When I first played the game, I was honestly shocked to find out that Shelby was the Origami Killer. It was only on subsequent playthroughs that I picked up on the twist.

Ethan's blackouts... one of the more controversial moments of the game, because they're never explained. My theory is this: Remember how Ethan's shrink said that all sorts of mental disorders could arise from a violent shock to the brain. That could account for the blackouts. Why, though? Deep down, Ethan really, REALLY hates himself for what happened two years ago. The Origami Killer case is very high profile, all over the news. The deaths of the children reminds him of his failure to save Jason. His inner self, which arises during blackouts, basically decides: "What the hell, I'm going trick himself and everyone close to him into thinking that he's the Origami Killer." While he blacked out, he made the paper dog. But how did he get to Carnaby Square? He could have heard about what happened there as a kid. One fan theory suggests that Ethan is a reincarnation of John Sheppard; that was kinda close to Cage's original idea, where the accident at the mall causes Ethan to mindlink with Scott Shelby. There would be visions of Ethan swimming through his house, and seeing Jeremy Bowles and such.

Are you just making a Mortal Kombat reference or are you just a spoiler hound?

I love Heavy Rain too, the characters and the storyline were so submerging. I can't favorite out scenes or characters - it was all done so well!! I'm normally good at figuring out plots and storylines, but I never expected who the Origami Killer was - I was all like "No way!! !" :)

I am kind of pissed they canceled the Heavy Rain Chronicles because they opted to re-develop the game to fit the new Sony move controller.

I adore Heavy Rain, it's one of the main reasons I got a PS3.

Who is your favourite character? Mine is Norman.
