Crack Heavy Rain challenge, get demo early
Know that “Four Days” challenge SCEE’s throwing for Heavy Rain?
If you’ve completed it, you get early access to the demo, which isn’t publicly available until Thursday.
We’re not gonna tell you how to get the demo here – for spoilers, obviously – but there are instructions on how to get it over at Kotaku.
The demo will be available for all on the PS Store this Thursday.
The full game is out on February 23 and February 26 in the US and UK respectively.

The challenge site is very slow (or even down), possibly hammered by popular demand.

EDIT: Thanks Psycho – I had the impression it was activated merely by adding quote marks, not the actual tag.

It’s particularly hard to type without it screwing up.
You need an open blockquote tag, then the text, then the close blockquote tag. What you’d write for italics… but instead of I, blockquote.

It worked fine for me earlier Moonwalker. Well… it was slow but it worked. Download speed for the actual demo is horrible though, plan on leaving it on while you sleep.

That’s nice… took me over three hours, and sickeningly that’s on a 50mb connection.

So it’s great eh? Ah nice. Well it’s almost morning now..nah wait, it IS morning…basically always 5 o clock. I’ll call it quits and play the demo when i wake up in a few hours.
I loved Fahrenheit so i see no reason why i would dislike this one.

Not sure Just got it 4 hours ago and I had to make a EU account for it. Lots and lots of refreshing.

I started downloading a fair bit earlier than that (about 18:00), I guess the servers were a little more screwed at the time.

I must say…very good article,although you should have mentioned other technical stuff as well like graphics,sound to give a full view about the demo. Personaly i found them top notch.The Voice Acting isn’t so good though.
Overall the Demo does it’s job right…and does justice to the game to a certain degree, which i didn’t expected for the game to be that good.
QD did a very thorough and good job here.Developers like that must be rewarded
