Im pretty sure this remaster is legit. The game was running on a modified PS4 engine that was tweaked for the PS3 which was why it sometimes appeared to look like a first gen PS4 game in certain parts.
Then ofcourse the Dualschock 4 popped up in on LinkedIn profile for a developer working on the game...
And then of course, The Founder of QD said that the studio has "PROJECTS" in development for the PS4 in association with SCE. My Guess, They'll Announce Beyond 2 Souls on PS4 at GC2014 for a Fall Launch 2014. and they'll unveil their new PS4 IP.. Similarly to how ND showed off 2 Trailers, one for The Last Of US:Remastered and Uncharted 4: A Thief's End at E3.
The game was profitable it Sold 1.5 million units last year in the midst of a ravenous launch of 2 next gen consoles, and multiple blockbuster title releases... COD, AC, BF, GTA5, KZ. This game did pretty well against those incredible odds. I say bring it. Since this year doesn't have a lot of strong titles for either platforms as far as exclusives go, so its makes sense
^Sevir, I agree. Also, when Sony brought out the Move controller, Quantic Dream reworked Heavy Rain's controls and released the Move Edition. They clearly embrace new technology, so I can imagine them working in new DS4 features.
Heavy Rain and Beyond Two Souls were both spectacular games visually. However, I'm inclined to agree with everyone else that Heavy Rain had a much better story (even if a couple of the characters were "broken").
Beyond Two Souls story squandered its potential very early on. It was promising for about 3-4 chapters, but once you get beyond (no pun intended) that point the story begins to fall apart and looses TONS of momentum. If you "abridged" the story to the best parts (while keeping some sort of continuity) the game would be about 1/3rd the length.
Heavy Rain on the other hand kept you in all the way to the bitter end. Ethan and Norman felt like the weakest characters to me and I lost interest in them very quickly. Madison and Shelby definitely had more to them and were far more favorable than the other two.
Both were awesome games but the way the stories are, they don't have much replay value (Knowing who the origami killer is etc.) This is a really cool thing for 360 gamers who went with a PS4 this gen to experience but I won't be buying them again for PS4. I do plan to get TLOU on PS4 because that was one of my favorite games last gen and ND are amazing devs. I can't wait to see how TLOU looks on the PS4!
I really hope this is true, I want all the PS3 exclusives that launched last year to come to ps4
TLOU Disgaea D2 Beyond 2 Souls Puppeteer
And some of the multiplats as well . reason being I was saving for NY ps4 last year so I had to skip a lot of those great games, thank God PS store sales helped me get a bit if them for cheap.
Another remastered of a game not even a year old, ugh. Anyway, they better price it correctly. It can be bought for 30 bucks new on amazon for PS3. This should be priced at 40 bucks max if you ask me.
i can understand the GOTY TLOU getting one but this is rather getting out of hand. BEYOND was garbage and the graphics definitely werent one of the the many problems it had, , It still looks fantastic and i dunno how gfx and fps improvements would prove game changers in such a slow paced game, we dont want games for the heck of it. id rather have these HD-ifying teams make their own games or assist in others
"'BEYOND was garbage and the graphics definitely werent one of the the many problems it had...'
Your opinion. But you don't speak for the rest of us. I'm glad you have no influence on what games do/do not get released."
Actually, the general opinion of the game when it came out was that it was mediocre. Never played it myself, so I can't judge. But I think his opinion is valid. Remastered versions of games should be for widely regarded titles and not just anything. This remastered game stinks of just petty money-grabbing.
I don't understand people that get mad about these games coming to current gen systems. If you aren't interested just don't buy it. Why complain or get pissy?
I am a huge QD fan, Indigo prophecy and heavy rain are awesome games but B2S disappointed the crap out of me. What's frustrating is that David Cage doesn't want to learn from his past failures
he should have seen what worked in Heavy rain and should have made the proper improvements, but instead we got an interactive movie. Heavy rain atleat had a lot of gameplay while in B2S you don't have to do anything for long periods of time
I think he's referring to her body. She's pretty flat front and back, plus she's short on top of that. Pretty and mature in the face but yeah her body looks like the girls I use to see in 6th grade.
I really liked Heavy Rain, but I finished it up and would not buy it again.
I really intended to play Beyond, but never got round to it so I would buy this one.
I never finished TLOU, so I would buy this.
But generally with all these remakes, it would have been nice if they had stated their intent to release a PS4 version before releasing the PS3 games. It would hurt the short term sales for that platform as I am surely not the only one that would choose to wait for the definitive visual experience, but that doesn't really justify hiding the choice imo.
I rather enjoyed Beyond Two Souls, but I wish they'd announce Kara instead. I want/need to know that game is in development. The tech trailer was to good to do nothing with it.
I called it a tech trailer because that is what it was. A tech demo actually showcases the tech with running gameplay of some sort. Sort of like the tech demo for Gears of War 2 they showed years back showcasing how water would look in the game. Kara was a trailer showcasing a new graphics engine. Thus a tech trailer.
Why the hell didn't they just wait to release it on PS4 and PS3 Simultaneously, and then they could have fooled TWICE as many people into thinking it was worth their time and money... Now tho, Most of us know better than to buy this... What a wasted opportunity.
But in all honesty, the ONLY reason I will forgive Remasters of YEAR old games is because it give the devs some familiarity with the new consoles before making THE BIG-NEW-EXCITING-RISKY-AND-HOP EFULLY-GOOD! new IP's.
WRONG! A man platinumed and still has his steelbook edition. It's a fun romp and highly replayable with Willem Dafoe giving his best performance that it brought a man to tears near the end.
I'm a big fan of David Cage and actor Ellen Paige' work. Games like this deserve commercial success. I'll always support good risks.
I believe Beyond Two Souls had a budget of around 27 Million, and sold approx. 1.3 Million copies. Sony are great at green lighting risky projects. Yu even said 4/10 PS games do not make money. But, the alternative is more oversaturated Shooters/Sports titles. That's safe & boring IMO ;/
Not sure how it would benefit from the PS4 treatment. For what I played/heard the graphics were the one part that didn't need improving.
Last Of Us I understand as it was one of the best games last gen and many 360 to PS4 owners might want to experience it, this on the other hand, not so many, if any.
because fanboy logic>>actual logic whats sad is that i wanna games on my ps4 that i havent already played on the ps3.
i said the exact thing and was bombed with disagrees and butthurt fanboys/ the game failed and its quite out there,dunno why people think making it look even better would make the game better.all i said was id rather have all these resources put in new games.
/for anyone about to call me an xbox fanboy and a troll ,im more than capable of proving im not
Not surprised if this comes to the PS4. I imagine it was a fairly expensive game to make, don't know how well it sold on the PS3, it can fill some holes in the PS4 line-up as many wait for big AAA games, lots of new Playstation fans who never owned a PS3 can now try it.
It is looking like Sony is in trouble. DriveClub was delayed for what, and now Sony seem to focusing on remastering old sh! as well as this massive Indie push. Not saying there is anything wrong with the indie push but it seems to be toooooooo much. I'm just saying WATCH THE TREND GOING ON AT SONY, Doesn't look to bright. GRAPHIC'S GRAPHIC's GRAPHIC"S. Games are built on more than just a visual.
Just gonna break down your comment for you cause it's a freakin hot mess. ----
"DriveClub was delayed for what"
Better gameplay, better graphics, online social integration and a more polished overall product that fares well in the eyes of gamers and those that have played it in recent weeks. ----
"and now Sony seem to focusing on remastering old sh!"
If you think that games less than 12-months-old are old, well... you might need a little bit of perspective. ----
"Not saying there is anything wrong with the indie push but it seems to be toooooooo much"
You're right, there's nothing wrong with having a plethora of unique, creative and fun games to compliment the larger games coming out. Still, can't say it's too much if Sony didn't have larger, more ambitious indie games on their roster like No Man's Sky, SOMA, ABZU, Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, RiME, The Witness, Shadow of the Beast as well as the smaller titles like Hotline Miami 2, Titan Souls and Broforce.
Diversity is king.

"I'm just saying WATCH THE TREND GOING ON AT SONY, Doesn't look to bright. GRAPHIC'S GRAPHIC's GRAPHIC"S. Games are built on more than just a visual."
Yeah, you're right. Games ARE built on more than visuals. Otherwise we would not have controllers to interact with their gameplay. But hang on a sec, i thought you were complaining about indies, where the focus is gameplay over graphics, but you're complaining about Sony's first party developers setting standards for visuals yet again?
"i can understand the GOTY TLOU getting one but this is rather getting out of hand."
Vishmarx,
Thank GOD, I thought I was the ONLY one that thinks this PS3 extra, ultra, HD-ing up is a f^cking joke.... Just make a better version of TLOU, & forget ALL the rest, we've got enough of the old stuff, & when some of the turds of last gen (like this one) start making there way across, it starts to get on my nerves...
I still think Indigo Prophecy is there best work, by far, but Heavy Rain was certainly an excellent next step, BUT FFS, Beyond was ordinary in every aspect (except voice talents)... That aside, even if there best game yet, MOVE THE F$CK ON, & make us something BETTER again, built from the ground up, for our PS4's...
Who would've bothered upgrading to a PS4 or XBone, if the majority of games in the immediate future were remakes, & not even 3 or 4 gen old remakes, BUT FRESH, only just played last gen titles.
Would I have preferred Sucker Punch to throw a redone Infamous 1 & 2 compilation at me, ready on launch day, or Infamous:2nd Son, A BRAND NEW STORY, with PS4 worthy attributes.... F^cking not even a fair question, as any sane fool, would prefer a BRAND NEW GAME, TO COMPLIMENT, A BRAND NEW CONSOLE.....It's a no brainer.... Currently, when I hear about ALL these overkill of LAZINESS on developers parts, by throwing 2nd attempts at sales of old games on new hardware, I feel as though I am being slapped in the face with my NEXT GEN CONSOLE. These developers are sticking there d^cks in my mouth, after just only had, having it in my anus hole. They are trying to feed me there d#[email protected] sandwich.
WHATS SO F%CKING HARD ABOUT GIVING US NEW GAMES...If these developers were working like mother^ckers to pump out to us, new IP's, or complete new games in familiar IP's, then we would have a f%ckload more games to be excited about... Imagine, instead of the time & money being wasted on the Tomb Raider PS3/360 to PS4/XBone port, that effort went into the new sequels to the isometric Guardians PSN/XBL title, & the follow up to Tomb Raider. We'd be playing AT LEAST ONE of them RIGHT NOW, that is what you'd not have to imagine. Too much time, money & clout is being invested in OLD shite. Give us gamers credit. The ones like me, who bought a PS4 on launch, but still bought plenty JUST BEFORE current gen released, as well as after... I have probably bought 6-10 PS3 & 360 games since I bought my PS4 (not including downloadable titles, as triple that number otherwise). So, what I'm saying is, these remakes won't sell significantly better, unless a TLOU, or GTA5, but EVERYTHING else is a waste of space on my PS4 NEW RELEASE SHELVES & schedules. What's the point of labeling them a NEW RELEASE, if they are your older brothers sloppy seconds?
The point of these remasters is to have games to play asap. Quantic dream are working on a new ps4 ip but if they can split the team and can make this in 3 months why not? Not everyone played this game including myself
IF true, it should be bundled with Heavy Rain imho.
that would be a cool bundle.
If true I definitely must have.. Ellen Page Naked on PS4 ;) AWESOMENESS!!!
"Playstation 3's most loved game, Beyond: Two Souls"
Wat?
I would buy it again. I hope Heavy Rain comes also. Would be fun to play that again on the PS4.
I rather enjoyed Beyond Two Souls, but I wish they'd announce Kara instead. I want/need to know that game is in development. The tech trailer was to good to do nothing with it.
