Beyond: Two Souls

E3 2012: Watch 25 Mins of (Shaky) Beyond Gameplay Footage

So Beyond was officially announced at E3 on Monday, along with a trailer and footage of what looked like a compelling experience. But what is it, how does it play? Nobody really spelled it out.

Until now. One enterprising fellow has filmed a bunch of it, almost half an hour to be exact, and slapped it on YouTube. This is the game as it will play and it's fascinating, despite the shakycamosity of it all. Doesn't look like it will win the Heavy Rain haters over, mind.

Anyway, watch it below and if you want to know more about the game you can grab it here. Beyond: Two Souls is out in Q4 of 2012.

Same sort of control scheme as Heavy Rain. That's an interesting move.

Guessing whoever filmed that really wasn't supposed to. So glad I stayed up late last night to watch it, I had a feeling it wouldn't last.

It looked epic. There were parts where you play as Ivan, which basically just seemed like parts where you could fly around at will, messing with objects and possessing people. And then there are parts where you play as Jody (or any human you possess with Ivan) which look like they control exactly the same way as Heavy Rain. It's an interesting mix. And the way it works, it made me wonder if Jody actually has any power at all, beyond the ability to talk to Ivan in the first place. Seems like he does all the heavy lifting independantly of her.

I wonder if the plot twist'll be that she isn't talking to ghosts, she's schizophrenic and "Ivan" is just how she copes with her own ability to possess people, cast a mental eye and toss things about telekinetically.
