remember that weird fuckin mexico thing lmao

Let me start off by saying I loved Fahrenheit (on its release mind you, but admittedly it aged horribly) and Heavy Rain (still stands as a great game), so I was quite interested in Beyond: Two Souls. And the ride started off interestingly enough, but soon ended up being a trainwreck that didn't stop going from bad to worse. This almost felt like someone was fed up with David Cage's games and decided to make a parody, trying to accentuate everything that was not so great in his previous games, by going over the top in almost every scene possible. A poor experience and a disaster of a game that ended up being a colossal disappointment!
Pros: Graphics in general are incredible (stills from the game could pass off as real photos), most of the acting is strong enough to keep things going along in spite of the horrendous script (Ellen Page and Willem Defoe being the highlights), diverse locations and (gameplay) scenarios pique your interest every once in a while (but never deliver), good music, PS4 version lets you play the game in a chronological order, occasionally (unintentionally) funny, Aiden is a cool gameplay mechanic...
Cons: ...but of disappointingly limited usage, insultingly bad and shallow script, characters all too frequently behave irrationally and downright stupid, weird and/or wooden body and face animations, story had potential but went south with its terrible blockbuster-esque direction, laughable action scenes and limited free movement make gameplay a bore, less choices and interaction than in Heavy Rain, occasionally looks bad

Cage tells of a woman he met at a party, who told the developer that Beyond's homeless chapter reduced her to tears. She had been living on the streets herself for two years, and the game "took her back to that time of her life".

"I was so moved by that," he said. "When you're a creator, you can't hope for a more powerful reaction than that. I think there's a tradition in video games that they should be separate from the real world and not talk about real issues, our society and so on. I don't know where that comes from.

$30's a bit much for me, but I'll get them cheap somehow
Hopefully the game can *at least* run at 30fps this time :p (though I'd prefer more)

"Jodie, you need to stop!"
>hasn't done anything because I didn't wanna scare the lady

oh man, this game desperately needs to run at 60FPS. Considering how mediocre the visuals are, you'd think the game could at least keep a decent framerate

According to detective GAF Sony will eventually release a Director's Cut of my second favorite game of all time - #Beyond: Two Souls - (I have horrible taste) for #PlayStation 4. source: http://bit.ly/1uN53TX

Sony spent about 40 million Euro on developing, marketing and distribution of Heavy Rain, which sold 2-3 million world wide so far. According to Quantic Dream "Sony earned more than 100 million Euro with this game, it's very profitable".

Soo now we learn that Beyond sold 1 million copies in its first 12 weeks, unless the total budget for this game exeeded 40 million (Beyond's development cost: 27m, Heavy Rain's development cost: 23m) it could be considered a mild success.

Let's see how things turn out, I think Beyond has a huge tail and many will pick it up once it hits 20-30 Euro.

Do you think this was beyond their sales expectations???

Proof that #David Cage was heavily inspired by 2005's #Mouth to Mouth when he wrote #Beyond: Two Souls' script:
