    Beyond: Two Souls (PS3)

    Quantic Dream's new game. Stars Ellen Page.

    Captures from a trailer leak




    Heavy Rain dev's next game 'is called Beyond'

    That's according to industry site MCV, which also says the title will be narrative driven and use motion-captured actors.

    Earlier today we reported that the Paris games studio has hired a "well-known actor and actress" to provide voice work on its next project.

          Hopefully the voice acting and writing is better than Heavy Rain and Indigo Prophecy.

          If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

            Between this and The Last of Us, I might trade in my 360 for PS3. I swore to never buy another PS3 after it broke, but the 360 is collecting dust and these games look too good to pass up.

                Behind Closed Doors with Beyond: Two Souls

                Cage is coy about exactly how the game will play, but suggests it will be in the same idiom as Heavy Rain, with cinematic camera angles and varied control prompts that correspond closely with Jodie's actions, putting the player in the scene. "People will be surprised to see how we treat action sequences," he tells me. "I don't think we do it the same way than other studios. We have our own take on this, we keep the cinematography, we keep our specific approach to controls, to make them part of the mimicry, to make you feel like you are the character... Every single moment has almost different gameplay," he tells me.
                Cage swells with genuine, starstruck pride about working with Page. "She came in a very simple way... very easy to deal with, very professional, just wanting to give her best. She really respected the medium, which was something incredibly important to me, to have someone saying, 'I'm going to treat that as seriously as if it was a movie, I don't care it was a game.'

                "When you direct someone like Ellen it's really like driving a Ferrari... It's really sensitive. You need to be very careful about what you say because she's going to give it to you." He's full of praise for her work ethic too - and it was work, as different as you can get from an easy voiceover gig. Shooting without sets, props or costumes on Quantic's motion capture stage in Paris "requires a lot of concentration and focus" from an actor, Cage reckons. "She kept saying that this is like an acting boot camp." Has she seen the results yet? "No... not yet," he says a little sheepishly. "But I think she will be surprised!"
                Another challenge of the role was that Beyond follows Jodie through 15 years of her life; her link with the "invisible entity" has been there as long as she can remember, although Cage hints that she isn't the only one who feels its presence. "It's really not a power, it's a character, it's about living with someone," he says.

                He also suggests that the dilemmas and story-altering choices from Heavy Rain will return, this time with the potential to change Jodie's path across the game's long narrative span: "It's very interesting to see how you can play with the same character at different ages, how what you're going to leave with her when she's a certain age will have consequences on her life later on."
                Cage's work divides opinion, but his passion, ambition and commitment are beyond reproach. And you have to extend that respect to his publisher, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, too. By backing Quantic as far as it needs to realise its story and acquire its star, it's brought a strikingly different tone to this E3 - and the hope that not every publishing house is content to see out this hardware generation with sound and fury, signifying nothing. In a conservative world, that's going above and beyond.

                  Looks fantastic!

                  And Ellen Page is dominating the videogames! Well, at least one look alike anyway.

                        Sold.

                        Also, I downloaded the HD vid they showed during the conference off PSN and the eyes are incredible, and so is the skin and especially seeing sweat bead up on the skin. It's a really impressive vid at 1080p.

                            I'm excited. I've enjoyed both Quantic Dreams games that they've put out.
