Quantic Dream's anticipated #Emotion compilation will launch at retail on 4th March for the PlayStation 4 in Europe, but if you've already bought Beyond: Two Souls for your new-gen system, then you'll be able to nab Heavy Rain at a discounted price. The asking fee, in the UK at least, sits at a very reasonable £7.99.
The port of the popular PlayStation 3 thriller will feature improved visuals and 1080p presentation. To be honest, despite only being six years old, we're not entirely sure how the murder mystery is going to stack up by modern standards; the voice acting and dialogue was shaky at the time, but it's going to look ancient in 2016.
Either way, we really enjoyed many of Heavy Rain's ideas, so we're looking forward to donning our anorak and thwarting the Origami Killer all over again.

Hope the US gets a similar deal.
No thank you. I honestly wish Sony stopped funding Mr. Cage
I want both the games but will wait till they go on sale as I have already played them.
@DominicanGlory lol why?
Is this getting a retail release?
My favourite PlayStation game of all time, and one of my favourite games in general.
Not bad considering I'm a lifelong Nintendo fanboy.
@JaredJ In Europe, yes. It's called the Beyond: Two Souls and Heavy Rain Collection or something.
one of my all time favorite games! cant wait to play it again all pretty like
Where's @Batman when you need him? There isn't nearly enough "David Cwage" patter going on in here.
@get2sammyb because they're garbage.
DWAVID CWAAAAAAAGGGEEEEE. I loved Heavy Rain, I even somewhat hesitantly embraced Beyond: Two Souls, but I will not be buying either again.
#EMOTION
@TheMightyPunram Thanks for shining the bat signal and bringing this to my attention.
@Batman Any time. Where there is Cwage, there is peril.
@Dominicanglory upcoming cage game Detroit says otherwise, I just think you have bad taste in games
JAAAASSOOOONNN!!
I loved Beyond: Two Souls, especially two parts that actually brought me to tears.
But I'm going to avoid Heavy Rain as much as I can. I saw a clip on youtube where... uhm, is this a spoiler? should I mark it as a spoiler?
Spoiler! Don't Read Past This! I Mean It!!

End of Spoilers
Ok, so I don't remember if it shows that or not, but I'm too squeamish to try to find out.
@Timdametsfan tell me how the origami killer's identity makes a lick of sense?
Tell me how hard Indigo Prophecy jumped the shark?
Tell me how ridiculous the twist was in Beyond two Souls?
Cage is a hack. If YOU have bad taste, that's ok, I won't give you grief for it
@DominicanGlory
Can't speak for the other games, but I thought the twist in Beyond Two Souls made some sense. If we're talking about the same twist.
The only thing I didn't like was... sigh, is this another spoiler?
*Spoiler! Spoiler in the dungeon!

@get2sammyb maybe I will import it.
@Dominicanglory I actually never played these except a demo so getting this bundle next month is plus for me.
I actually have good taste in games, not my fault your simple minded and can't handle games that make you think
@timdametsfan . . . I can't... even...
Seriously, guy? This site isn't known for gutter tier trolling, so please, reform yourself or hush.
Heavy Rain was just poor. The story was whack and that was the whole point in the game. Beyond: Two Souls was very good in my opinion. I'm not sure what the criticisms are of it, it seems that it's a game people love to hate.
@Neolit The move controls really made this game stand out. While the default DS3 controls were decent, the immersion that the move controller gave with all of the actions really sucked you in.
@Bad-MuthaAdebisi Opposite for me. I enjoyed Heavy Rain much more than I thought I would. Yes, it's an average game, the plot is full of holes, the love scene is horrendous and every other criticism but as a whole package it was enjoyable. Like a bad movie you see on Channel 5 in the afternoons. You know it's meh but if you switch your brain off you'll enjoy it.
Beyond was all of that again, except not enjoyable. Found it such a slog and so boring. Every new level just seemed to take forever and add nothing. Plus every single limitation of David Cage's poor writing skills and direction were shown constantly.
Wouldn't go as far as what @DominicanGlory says about not finding Cage anymore, I'd just say he needs control taken away from him. He's isnt a writer, he isn't a director and he never will be. That's fine. Sony need to put in someone who knows what they're doing and flesh out his ideas - then he may create the masterpiece he's capable of.
@DominicanGlory agreed! They've got a game engine that looks phenomenal, some great talent on board with acting, animation etc... but the games are just no fun to play, horribly written, and (in parts), horribly acted.
Both ps3 outings just reeked of squandered potential to me. Cage needs to go make something like Rapture or Gone home (which actually manage to nail all this "emotion" he's always on about). Then people may realise what a hack he really is.
Is this the game where you use motion controls to take off bras? Non thanks then.
