"Borderline uncontrollable"

Started to watch,with curiosity about what new ways to be emotionally engaging, David Gage would invent, then saw the artistic integrity guy from IGN and said fuck you IGN and gave up.

At this point David Cage could not get my respect even if he changed his first name to johnny.

 

[FeelTheRads]

David Cage makes the best screensavers.

I disagree, it would be too annoying to have to mash the C key really hard every time you want to Cage to show up.

ACHTUNG! DRAMA ALERT!

Can't wait until this will flop big time.

Like Heavy Rain amirite?

Which was a success for Sony.

Back then it was something new and fresh. Nowadays everybody is already gazing at the PS4. Beyond just doesn't have the same appeal anymore that HR enjoyed back then.

 

[Lagole Gon]

I hope it will be a massive flop.

Despite its redeeming qualities.

Nah, The Last of Us was a succes, this will be just the same. With some heavy marketing, it will not flop.

Surprising exactly no one an Ellen Page shower scene.



David Cage sucessfully defending his title as an immature creep.

 

[Tommy Wiseau]

They're trying to do something different from the rest of the industry by looking at video games as a viable storytelling medium. I'm sure gameplay will outlive this 'ordeal'.

ive always wanted to be a teen girl.

soon enough

Feels like a movie trailer. Why not just drop the computer graphics, hire a cameraman, point the camera at Ellen Page and ... whoa instant emotional engagement from photorealistic graphics.

Seriously from now on everytime when a gamer gets an idea for a game (and we all do) and that idea starts with a story the first question one should ask himself is "why a videogame?"

Would boink, not play.

Funnily enough, contemporary movies are full of CGI (hinged on spectacle and not recognizing its long dead, video games one of reasons why), many mimic games, big studios trying to get back rapidly melting audiences.

"Not everybody was born with a DualShock controller in their hands," remarked notable French game maker David Cage, pacing with emotion at the Eurogamer Expo today.

He was talking about his studio's decision to make its latest emotional thriller, Beyond: Two Souls, playable in its entirety with an iPhone or Android touch device.
It was a decision that originated in player feedback from Quantic Dream's last PS3 game, Heavy Rain. Cage said many and more people played it with a significant other looking on - often with that person calling the shots but not directly controlling what was going on.

"Sometimes it was the girlfriend or the wife," Cage said, "sometimes it was the friend who was not a gamer. Sometimes it was the parents or even the grandparents; there was a guy who told me he played the entire game with his grandmother.

"Cool."

In exploring how to get that second person more involved, Cage and Quantic Dream came up with the idea of bringing a second screen, a touchscreen, into the equation. The result is a free app for Android and iOS devices called Beyond Touch, which is available now.

"It connects to the console via Wi-Fi, and from this point you can play the entire game, in single-player if you want, just using your iPhone ... just with one finger. It's a very simplified interface [and] makes the game very passive and simple."

You can also play the game in co-op, with one player controller Ellen "Jodie Holmes" Page and the other person controlling the spooky Entity that Holmes is intrinsically linked with.

"For us this is a key feature in the game," Cage mentioned, and it's another way - along with the game's filmic qualities - that Quantic Dream is trying to expand the audience of games.

Beyond: Two Souls is due out exclusively for PlayStation 3 on 11th October. A demo touches down on 2nd October - next week.

Truly Quantic Dream achieved it

The Awesome Button of all Awesome Buttons

SO AWESOME IT'S NOT EVEN A BUTTON

 

[dnf]

you don't even need to push "play" button. Progress...

 

[Ninja Destroyer]

Qte that don't need to be executed at all; games that are playing themselves.

"Expanding the audience."

Will "play" it on youtube just for lulz.

 

[DalekFlay]

I bet if we just removed interactivity altogether, make a fictional story play out on the TV without your input, we would have a real hit.
