So, I've perused this board over the last few months without posting and I have to say, I'm disappointed that this hasn't been brought up. The search function brought up zero results.

This game sounds like it has the potential to be extraordinary, both gameplay and story.

quote:

From the visionary mind of David Cage, director of the award-winning Heavy Rain™, comes the most powerfully emotional experience on PlayStation® 3. A singularly unique psychological action thriller delivered by A-list Hollywood performances, BEYOND: Two Souls™ takes you on a thrilling journey across the globe as you play out the remarkable life of Jodie Holmes.
quote:

Born with a connection to a mysterious entity with incredible powers, Jodie was different. In an adventure spanning 15 years of her life, your actions will determine Jodie's fate as she faces extraordinary challenges, danger, and heartwrenching loss on a journey to discover the truth of who she is. Beyond promises an emotionally-charged journey unlike any video game before.
quote:

Dive into a gripping and unpredictable psychological action thriller starring Academy Award-nominees Ellen Page and Willem Dafoe.
Although I'm not usually a fan of actors jumping into video games, I do like both Page and Dafoe.
quote:

Explore stunning and varied settings across the world in an epic journey through 15 years of a character's life.
quote:

Control Jodie and an invisible entity through spectacular action sequences and puzzles with unique controls.
From what I've seen, the times where you play as the invisible being, the amount of actions you can choose are staggering. The sandbox setting sounds like it could be a blast with high replay value.
quote:

Experience cutting-edge technology from Quantic Dream in one of the best-looking games ever seen on the PlayStation®3.
It is a PS3 exclusive though. On the plus side, with the new consoles releasing soon, it'll probably be easy to find one for cheap.

Trailer

Anyone else excited about this game? Its probably #1 on my list for this year.

Release Date: Oct. 8

Saw the trailer at E3 and it does look great. A change of pace from typical games these days.

But I am a fan of a game a lot of people hate, Heavy Rain.

Yea. You gotta mix it up. Call of Battle Honor 18 is tiring and repetitive.

Need something to shake the cage.

I've never played Heavy Rain. I've heard mixed reviews, but it sounds like something I'd like.

It pretty cheap now, you should give it a try. I've never played a game like it. Until The Walking Dead series came out; kinda similar.

Beyond wouldn't exist without the success of Heavy Rain. Go play it, it's super cheap and a great experience.

Eh, Cage is always ranting and raving about his games. I thought Heavy Rain was a unique experience and a great thriller but it wasn't the trans-formative experience that he claims it to be.

Although I've never played Heavy Rain, I have heard complaints that it didn't live up to the hype.

This game however sounds amazing. Sounds like it could be a completely original game experience. At least that is what I am hoping for.

It's definitely original. A lot of it is sort of an interactive movie (which I like, some don't). And the fact that there is over a dozen legitimate endings is pretty crazy. I was on the edge of my seat the entire game and no other game has given me that experience.

I could go on for days, but I'll stop.
