With mere days before the PlayStation Move hits the marketplace, more and more stories are popping up about the upcoming accessory. The patch date for Heavy Rain's Move support has been set for 9/22 as dedicated Move retail locations are opening.
Owners of Heavy Rain on PlayStation 3 will be prompted on September 22 to update the title to integrate a Move control option into the interactive thriller. In order to take advantage of the new control method, players will need the PlayStation Move motion controller, as well as the PlayStation Eye. Some additional controller inputs will be needed, so players will need either a PlayStation 3 standard controller or a PlayStation Move navigation controller to fill that role.
While plenty of hardcore fans will likely make the Heavy Rain their first Move-enabled experience, the mature-rated game will probably not be promoted very heavily in the new PlayStation HQ's opening today across the country. Starting today in San Francisco and New York City and spreading to eight additional store and mall locations in the U.S. over the next month, the PlayStation HQ locations will let gamers get their hands on the Move. It's not entirely clear whether the products will be purchasable at the locations (all of which will close in mid-October and November), but it would behoove Sony to make them as easy to buy as possible.
Will you play (or replay) Heavy Rain with Move controls? Are you planning on hitting up any of the PlayStation HQ locations? Sound off below.
