Quantic Dream's Beyond

[Chrisbarnes182]

I'll avoid watching too many videos. It looks great already so I don't want the story spoiled.

I'm with you on this.

I didnt really read or watch anything about Heavy Rain before playing it and I think that added a massive amount to the game and story, literally not knowing what is going to happen next.

So I will be doing the same.

You can pre-order the game for $34.99 at Sony's Online store.

 

[Havok83]

I saw that and it sucks that I won't get the SE but $25 savings beats that.

 

[SpideyVille]

Why is the estimated ship date 12/31/13?

Am I the only one who absolutely loves the facial animations in this game? In the trailers I really felt I was watching actors act instead of animations that look like actors but are not.

Do they charge you now, or when it ships? 'Cause I don't have the money now.

I haven't been too blown away by any of it. The faces look okay, but overall there's just something about the animations that bother me.

Same here. I wasn't planning on buying this, but it looks like a great deal to pass up.

Zenith16, I know, that's why I felt as if none of you is impressed and it felt odd

lol Ok I may not have said much on it yet, cause I'm waiting to play it.

lol It doesn't mean I'm not in awe ,just I need it in my hands in front of me first. I've said in other threads that with stuff like these to me they've become icing and I'm hope the rest of the other elements are as good in equal terms to something like that these days. so that's why I went quiet on that. when it's in my hands I'm sure you'll hear me awe from my side of this here area of north America. Saying how pretty and well done that part is . I just hope the rest of it comes together first .

 

[Destructus86]

I keep hearing the controls are just as clunky as Heavy Rain...which I am actually fine with to be honest. Took me some time to get Heavy Rain's controls down, but once I did I had no problems and really...I was so focused on the story the controls didn't bother me anyway.

 

[Havok83]

yeah when I read that this game has bad controls, I thought HR wasn't all that great either and it was my favorite game of 2010. Im not too worried about this one at all.

 

[Dave McFly]

damn it is back up to 60 bucks on the Sony store, oh well *sigh*.

Don't feel too bad. Just got an email that my preorder was cancelled due to a pricing error. They gave me a $5 coupon to compensate

 

[Nathan]

Yeah, that's lame. Just saw it on Kotaku.

Sony Cancels Bargain Beyond Two Souls Preorders

A few weeks back, Sony's own online store was offering insanely cheap preorders for upcoming PS3 exlcusive Beyond Two Souls. It seemed like a deal too good to be true! It was.

Sony has today begun cancelling those preorders, offering $5 coupons as a means of apologising for the mix-up. Which is a little disappointing; most retailers will honour mistakes like this, especially when it's not a catastrophic price cut.

Still...$5 is better than nothing...I guess?

Beyond: Two Souls has multiplayer, an app that turns touchscreens into controllers

(8 hours ago)
32


​

Beyond: Two Souls features two-player, co-op multiplayer, with one person controlling Jodi Holmes, the main protagonist, and the other controlling Aiden, the entity tethered to her entire existence, Quantic Dream founder David Cage revealed at Gamescom. Players pass control between Jodi and Aiden, on a single screen, by pressing triangle. Yes, press triangle to Jodi.

In multiplayer or solo, Beyond is playable with iOS and Android touchscreen devices, with the "Beyond Touch" app. It's a free app that allows players to control a character – it's a blank slate, with no buttons or on-screen sticks, that players use like a touchpad. Slide one finger around the screen and the character moves. The game automatically switches to easy mode when a touchscreen controller is in use.

Cage said the touchscreen feature is an attempt to reel in casual players or those who don't play games often. Most people are comfortable with a smartphone, though avid players will want to use the DualShock controller, Cage said.

[Havok83]

I had my doubts but the demo definetly saved them. I had no problems with the controls. It seemed in line with HR, but rather more intuitive as the right analog stick seemed to be used alloy more for action as opposed to random button on the controller. If anything it was controlling Aidan that gave me some issues but nothing major. My favorite part was when you

let loose on the lady in the room. I had too much fun terrifying her...lol

With that said, I still wont be buying it day one. It'll surely be on sale a month later around BF. Im expecting under $35 by then
