Sony US has said confirmed that Heavy Rain: The Origami Killer has gone gold and revealed details on what the playable demo will feature when it's released on Feb 11.

An update on the US PlayStation Blog from product marketing manager Jefferson Dong (didn't make that one up either) beamed, "It's official! Heavy Rain has now gone gold in North America and is off to manufacturing. This PlayStation 3 exclusive, psychological thriller will be available at retail on Tuesday, February 23, 2010 (mark it on your calendar).

"Don't forget to pre-order your copy now so you will receive the first chapter of Heavy Rain Chronicles (upcoming downloadable-only episodes for Heavy Rain) at no cost, and you'll be able to download the first chapter once you've picked up your copy of Heavy Rain (otherwise, all others will need to pay $4.99 per chapter and won't be able to download until a month later - more info to come on Heavy Rain Chronicles)."

Dong said that the demo will allow players to play two chapters featuring Norman Jayden, an FBI agent brought in to help local authorities track down the Origami Killer, and Scott Shelby, a private detective hired by the families of past victims of the Origami Killer to find the serial killer.

Will that be enough to pull you in? We'll find out soon.

I haven't really paid any attention to it (maybe cos it's so hyped), but there's barely a demo I won't give a go

Everyone keeps saying this but I must admit it based be by until about 5 months ago, just found it whilst browsing the upcoming section on play.
