PlayStation Blog have announced they will host a live-stream of the April 27 event, which will showcase a 1-hour scene from the game, debut a major trailer and all new behind-the-scenes footage."

Great!

This is one reason why I believe Sony is needed in gaming.

I am a Nintendo Fanboy but I believe all the current gaming console makers bring something great that furthers the industry as a whole.

(Yes, I know that Quantic Dreams is choosing to be exclusive but they backed by Sony and they seem to share a similar passion for Merging movie concepts and games. Making games that are Movie-Like and have Strong Narrative driven games.)

I have always wanted Video Game Industry to be just a broad in content as the Book, Television, and Film Industry.

This is another Milestone...

Yep from their past games and of course how great Beyond is looking QD deserves recognition outside of the gaming industry.

They always manage to pull off the perfect blend of gaming and storytelling (movie if you will) and makes the player feel like a real part of their games.

It's not the first game to be selected by that film festival if I'm correct, LA Noire was presented back in 2011. Anyway, that's a good publicy for the game, and video games in general as well. Hopefully it will incite even more developers to go further into storytelling and come up with thought-provoking experiences.

The facial animations on that game are terrific.

Sony reported on their Blog it was the first of "this kind". I also saw the LA Noire selection before, maybe they were different types of selection? I am not too sure how film festivals work in all honesty lol

[ShugaCane]

I don't know either lol. But I assume both games have been selected for a simple presentation, not in any particular categories. That's just a guess, though.

Sounds like another bore?

Always good to see video games get widely recognized and respected. To have this type of recognition though the story telling in B:TS must be incredible.
