Watch the official trailer for BEYOND: Two Souls, debuted LIVE at Tribeca Film Festival. Witness the powerful storytelling and performances that earned BEYOND the first Official Selection by Tribeca Film Festival for a PlayStation exclusive video game.
David Cage and everyone behind this game are simply GENIUSES!!! Can't wait for it to come out. Evoking Emotion is what will drive this game to success and I'm glad David is sticking to his visions of making more mature games because there's obviously a market for it. Honestly the scene where they're asking for money is really touching and just shows the struggles homeless people have to go through. The birth scene is beautifully done as well that it brought a smile to my face. This studio is going places and I'm truly looking forward to their ps4 game nuff said.
I just hope that Beyond gets a PS4 port. I mean come on, they're launching at nearly the same damn time.
I'd feel wrong unplugging my PS3 right after the credits roll and dusting off for the PS4 setup. That would be kinda like Christopher Robin taking Pooh out for a last walk through the Hundred-Acre-Wood and then dropping him in the attic right after getting home.
I'm manically depressed.
Here's the recording of the live stream for those who missed it. It starts at the 3:40 mark.

Before this trailer i didnt have much interest in this game lol. I'm just not into these kinds of games but that was pretty damn epic.
I dont like it. but for all who do i get it. :)
I do like tlou but for some strange reason this doesn't do it for me. :(
oh well kill me with disagrees *sigh*
This is going to end this generation with such an emotional explosion. Look at the first Beyond Trailer. This is such a graphical improvement. David Cage is amazing and such a pioneer in the future of interactive dramatic experiences. I have no doubt that this game will be up there as a Game of the Year contender without a doubt. I can't wait for this. Sony has been delivering amazing games right down the the very end and I hope this game does very well.
ellen paige and the green gobline william defoe? this is big time blockbuster productions here. cant believe its 10+ hours and then alternate paths and endings on how it plays out so probably be like 30 hours and not even including dlc and trophies.
If it's going to be another game that only offers quicktime sequences, they can keep it. I might watch it on youtube as a movie instead

Just like heavy rain this is a must buy and keep in my collection
Can't wait it looks like QD learned a lot from developing on ps3 and with their new engine this looks amazing
yep i actually am gonna replay heavy rainn and the dlc pretty soon. i got the platinum already as well. this new games has some good actors in it this time this is just crazy. cant wait to do a "chronicle" the movie run and just be bad and destroy everything with the powers lol.
Wow. Just watched the whole gameplay trailer.
My mouth was literally open for a alot of that. I almost welled up when she went to jump and Aiden caught her. I probably would have if I wasnt so damn macho.
Ummm... The same reason why Halo is not come to Playstation...
Console exclusives are exclusive to one console [oh my god - am I really having to explain this?].
I think it's a little bit more than that. Cage explained how they work is that they usually develop an engine with every game they release. That way they can tune it to do exactly what they need it to be for the game. In that respect, one platform allows you to really focus on one target. I guess they started with Sony at some point and the relation ship fostered. No reason to switch. And the PS3 looks like offers them all the power they need to realize their vision - yet. And, well, plenty of PS3s available to play that game;)
With a name like PCfanboy, I would've expected you to say "Why is not come to PC?". Though I am a PC gamer I have my PS3 by my side for games like these that XBox simply can't have. I'm complete!
David Cage has done a great job on this game. With 10 hours of gameplay with multiple endings and a great cast i will definitely be considering purchasing this game in the future.
Looks like a $60 movie to me. But oddly enough, I still want it. Looks really good.
I'm hoping the gameplay doesn't mainly consist of quick time events like Heavy Rain did.
It looks really good, but the quick time event style gameplay (regardless of how many outcomes it produced) simply wasn't enjoyable to me.
Actually the gameplay is like HR...I really wish David would start making normal gameplay games as I really love the stories in his games but dont like hitting X or Square every time to do something or hit the trigger buttons to run.

David is a genius and I wish he would also start making Hollywood movies.
You don`t like pushing buttons in your games?
You must be one of those kinect kids.
Don't spread lies Knight_Crawler. The game plays nothing like Heavy Rain besides third-person control. Cage himself admitted that he is doing away with QTE for the most part and it's normal third-person adventure gameplay mixed with first person exploration and interactivity using Aiden.

"Cage has done away with Quick Time Events, a mechanic which bore much of the weight in Heavy Rain. Beyond’s combat is based on a bullet time-type system controlled only with the right analogue stick. If someone’s swinging a baseball bat at you, you just move the stick in the appropriate direction to block it. Cage showed us a training sequence in which Jodie is sparring against a man in a gym. We didn’t get to test the combat in the play session, but, as with everything else in the game, it looks completely contextual."
@ raptor so its QuickTime events with the analogue stick instead of the buttons so it's still a form of QuickTime.
if you look on you-tube someone has posted a 35min video it looks great, definitely won't be beaten graphically this gen.
I'm really impressed.
How is this game any different from other games where you have to press buttons? How about you jokers stop trolling for a change?
@DayZ
I don't like quick time events. There's a difference. And I don't own Kinect, but nice try on your baseless assumption.
@DigitalRaptor
Thank you for your actually useful comment.
@Shadowgeist
It's a game made mostly of quick time events. I despise quick time events in any game. I do not like pre-determined button commands, they take away a sense of freedom and control for me and just make things feel too static and restrictive.
But that's just MY OPINION. Which I guess to you and the likes of DayZ (and those that agreed with you two) mean that I can't have an opinion unless it's the same as yours.
So thank you both for keeping fanboyism and immaturity alive. God help us if we all don't like the same stuff..
You're free to like whatever you want. I'd also appreciate if you didn't throw the fanboyism card at me because nothing I said implied that I was being a fanboy or immature to begin with.
Heavy Rain was not just a series of quick time events. It was based solely on interaction between the characters. It was the type of gameplay that drew you into the story.
You didn't answer my question the first time when I asked you and Knight Crawler how is this any different from pressing buttons with any other game.
With the Move to be honest. It made so much sense and it was not a gimmick. I was amazed and sold on the potential of motion gaming for a game like that. I play with Dual Shock and MOVE prefer Move...it made the game far more engaging and powerful.
I'm not sure if anyone played Heavy Rain with the PS Move, but It would be interesting to gauge peoples opinion..
In normal games you can control the majority of your characters moves. In heavy rain, you are restricted to make movements when the game wants you to. If someone was coming at me with a knife in any 3rd or first person game, I could back up, move side to side to jump out of the way, attack the person or w/e through skillfully timed maneuvers.
In heavy rain it's literally "press x to move out of the way into a pre-determined position" or "attack this guy the same time, every time".
I called you a fanboy because you assumed I was trolling simply because I didn't like heavy rain, fanboys usually don't know the meaning of the word "opinion" or deny its existence.
I want to be able to have full control over my character, or at least as much as I can get (gaming tech/development isn't to the point where we can control literally everything about our character). Heavy Rain is more restrictive when it comes to character control. That's the difference.
But you do have control over your character. I called you a troll because if you don't like something, you should stay away from anything that pertains to what you don't like. There are some people who appreciate these types of games. Don't knock on them just because you don't like it.
You don't have as much control over your character as you do in other games.
"I called you a troll because if you don't like something, you should stay away from anything that pertains to what you don't like."
So a comments section should consist solely of positive comments, no criticism, no argument, no actual discussion? Just a page full of ass-kissing comments "sweet", "awesome", "looking forward to this!" "this looks amazing!"? Sorry, but no. The comments section is for expressing your opinion, whether or not you agree with it. I simply gave my opinion on Heavy Rain.
"There are some people who appreciate these types of games. Don't knock on them just because you don't like it."
I'm not knocking on them be cause they appreciate these games, I'm knocking on them for not respecting my opinion. If you can't respect my opinion (you don't have to agree with something to respect it) that I didn't like Heavy Rain and wont respect my right to post my opinion, then screw you. I hate games like call of duty, but I don't insult those who prefer it to something like Battlefield.
The comments section is a place for discussion, and if differing opinions offend you so much, then you might as well get off the internet right now, because not everyone is going to agree with you on everything all the time.
Yo their streaming the Tribeca live gameplay right now on playstation blog and on Sony's Ustream! YES, actual gameplay, not just trailers!!
EDIT: CAGE just finished showing it, but i'm sure the Link below will let you rewatch it from the beginning (if not, then it will let u do it later). ATM he's doing a live panel interview.
Also David Cage just said that the FULL game takes 10 hours to complete.
Do you guys relly want to spoil yourself the experience? I'd rather play a story-driven game like this without knowing anything, I already felt bad watching the trailer but it was just too interesting to close it before it finished :S
Don't be stupid. He already stated that he isnt watching it, he was alluding to why people like you must read every article, and watch every spoiler filled video, essentially ruining the experience long before you have the chance to play it... To each his own i suppose.
http://youtu.be/-MCtC_U4e2o...
... It's only half hour of a 10 hour story with multiple endings and dynamic plot twists.
Even if you watch it, doesn't mean that is how it will play out for you.
I understand that logic for most games, but not this one. And it's not like they revealed the ending.
That footage from film festival so impressive!!!
don't know about you but i just couldn't stop watching.
this game is really something diffrent and special
this trailer:

:OOO
You should have seen and played Heavy Rain. This game looks great, but not that much different then Heavy Rain (in terms of graphics) which isn't a bad thing.
People are freaking out over this game and Last Of Us simply because only a hand full of teams this gen actually really made beast games, Naughty Dog, Team Bondi, Quantic Dreams, Fox Productions etc. So when we here "looks next gen" its simply because those teams where just on another level and or used a system to its fullest capabilities. Teams like this, make any gamers want a PS4.
Last Of Us, Beyond Two Souls and The Last Guardian are the type of games that make one want a PS4, simply because its just a taste of what New IP's await gamers on that system. This type of attitude towards gaming is what makes one buy a PS4 EASY. If your teams are making games like this every gen, count me in EVERY GEN. Never mind what you played last gen, never mind that you didn't like Motorstorm, Warhawk, Resistance, Killzone etc, you may like Knack, Driveclub, The Last Of Us etc. New IP's are a way for a company to say "give us another chance, were not done with you yet"
Can anyone really be mad at a publisher for doing so? Or is the rehash of the same IP's ok for a whole gen for most gamers?
Checked the game's website after seeing this trailer and...
"We have recently completed Beyond: Two Souls (internal production), the world's largest performance capture and motion capture production ever realized: 60 days of multi-actors full performance capture, along with 120 "conventional" motion capture shoot days!"
http://www.quanticdream.com...
180 days of shooting for a video game? Dude...
them graphics!!!! OMG..... man this and last of us, will take the gaming bar to a next level. i mean how can you pull of story and graphics like that on a ps3 is just amazing... paus at 2.10 and you will know what i mean.
The graphics look like a PS4 game. Seriously, compare PS4's Killzone to this game, and you would swear they were on par.
True but Killzone 4 has a much greater scale and field of view. Just imagine what Quantic could do on the PS4 :o
Let's not drink *too* much punch. Beyond and TLoU are going to be amazing, but PS4 will quickly outpace them.
You can't seriously go back to the KZ:Shadowfall trailer in 1080p and tell me you think they are on par.
@Gumtrol: Yeah definately. Of course Killzone is way bigger. Games that come out during the end of a console generation, tend to look almost as good as early launch game NEXT gen games. For example, remember how Vagrant Story on PS1 looked almost as good as an early first year PS2 game? I'm not saying it really is on par technologically, it just looks that way (probably because Quantum used short cuts to squeeze all they could out of the PS3).
EDIT: @Conzul: Of course PS4 will outpace them, but sometimes launch games of new consoles look on par with games that come out at the end of the previous consoles cycle. It's just an opinion. People are acting like I said something wrong about PS4. I'm just complimenting the PS3. Hell, even David Cage's PS4 old-man face tech demo looked better than BEyond. So we know PS4 will look way better. But I am only comparing Beyond to ONE ps4 game, not the PS4's prowess in general. Relax, it's just an opinion. You don't have to like it. I just don't care either way enough about it to argue. I'm getting this and a ps4, so I already win as a gamer.
@Donnieboi
Ok, I accept your reasoning and I don't find any fault with you, but Beyond is NOT on par with Shadowfall, graphically speaking.
@conzul I was more impressed with beyond than killzone, the animation, setting, acting and script make it feel more realistic than killzone.
Go look at the 35min youtube clip if you don't mind spoilers
This is part one of a two-part interview with John Baez and Dan Paladin from The Behemoth, makers of the Alien Hominid, Castle Crashers and the upcoming 'Game 3'. In this first part they talk about the success of Castle Crasher's, Game 3's development and Castle Crashers and Game 3's influences.
Gamervision writes:
"It's been quite a while since we've heard anything from developer the Behemoth about its enigmatic third game project. The company behind both Alien Hominid and Castle Crashers has offered very little in the way of new information on the game, outside of the above picture of a sad box-faced fellow, and a teaser video that came out way back in August (okay, I know August isn't exactly that long ago, but in a 24-hour news world, it might as well be the Dark Ages). However it looks like there might be some movement on getting the game #3 closer to consoles, as the Behemoth has filed a pair of trademarks with the US government for new game names. The patents filed were for the usual gamut of items, from "leather and imitation leather keychains" to the all important "computer software for use in video games", under the names Hostage Negotiator and Battle Theater."
Srry, im not buying any game from them anymore.
go to hell Behemoth,
