Warning, there will be spoilers for Heavy Rain. If you haven’t played it yet, run!
Anyone that has played through Heavy Rain will have noticed that a pretty major plot point is never explained – Ethan’s blackouts. Sony recently posted a new video on the American PlayStation Store showing off some content that was cut from the game, and a very strange explanation for the blackouts. I feel that cutting this explanation was a good thing as it seems a bit silly in the context of the game – and it also shows that David Cage still seems obsessed with cramming in fantastical elements into his games. There is also a deleted scene featuring the Killer and some interesting gameplay mechanics that were removed from Madison’s playable sections. If you don’t have an American PSN account you can see the clip below, credit to SolidusDave for uploading it to YouTube. Video is after the jump as there is a major spoiler in the thumbnail!

Spoilers bring out the worst in people, whether it be kids rushing about the playground with the results of last nights Royal Rumble that you were looking forward to watch when you got home or people speaking too loud on the train about the episode of Lost they downloaded the previous evening. Heavy Rain is released at the end of the week on PS3 and already spoilers are popping up on the net about the identity of ‘The Origami Killer’, ruining the game for many players. Here are some tips to avoid spoilers for this game and others in the future.
