Beyond: Two Souls discussion

Yeah but come on that one in Fahrenheit was just all kinds of wrong. :crazy:

Was it? I don't even remember it, at this point... There were a lot of things that were pretty messed up about the storytelling in that game. The last quarter seemed completely cobbled together out of confusion and cannabis. I still count it as one of the more memorable games I played on the original Xbox, though. Although I love good stories, I don't really need excellent storytelling in games. Sometimes, just trying is enough, because so few actually try. I guess that's what I'd say in Cage's defense: he's no master of the art, but at least he tries.

Why did the demo had to come along and totally catch my interest afterwards? I want to know what this story and the characters are all about.....here goes my....plan to just not buy a single game anymore after GTA V. But i think i'm gonna make an exception for this one. Maybe for Batman too, if it succeeds. It clearly is Heavy Rain gameplay wise, but with a totally different concept, an awesome concept at that.

Same way i felt. I had the game on my radar but didn't plan to buy because i am waiting for the PS4, but i really enjoyed the demo.

Yeah exactly. And after Indigo Prophecy and Heavy Rain i just now the story and characters will be damn strong.
 
Presentation by Cage at EGX. I found the segment from 18:20 to about 31 most interesting, where he talks about interactive story-driven games and the non-obvious choice and control mechanisms.


 
That sucks, I played the demo of this game and thought it was awesome, I wonder what happened to the full retail game to give such low scores.

Btw Anderson, did you end up buying a PS3 ?

I would just wait until tomorrow when we can see a ton of reviews and decide. I will say i was going to get the game tonight and decided to wait based on Anderson's post.

No, I'm still wringing the last bits of juice out of my 360. I've got four or five games to go, and then I'll probably trade it in for a PS3.

Like dkrause said, these are just a handful of early scores, many of them from weird countries no one has ever heard of (j/k). We should get a better idea tomorrow.
 
Ohh so your going finish the 360 games, then get a PS3, then play all them, then get a PS4 ? If so you probably won't be getting a PS4 till about 2015 :D
 
lol just realized this was out tomorrow. I thought it was next week. Either way, as much as I loved Heavy Rain and want to play this, I'm going to hold off until I've beat GTA5.
 


Not sure if anyone here is a fan of RadBrad, but he does playthroughs (probably the most popular ones on youtube) and he's doing this game. I'll be giving it a watch myself.

Looks like I'll wait for the price to drop on this one. I still want to play it but not right away.
 
Wow. I'd have to read the reviews to make sense of the disparity of opinions. No time right now. Definitely a mixed response.
 
Well, it is getting some good scores. Maybe it's one of those "love it or hate it" games.
