I’ve managed to keep my head buried in the sand when it comes to Beyond: Two Souls, having played and loved the developers last title “Heavy Rain” I figured I had a vague idea of what to expect from this game, but as far as the actual gameplay, story or much of anything beyond the initial launch trailer, I was going in blind and spoiler free. Quantic Dream aren’t like many other developers, they’ve managed to stay afloat despite making some really odd games that have been both loved and hated by the gaming community, in fact it is often remarked that this game and their last game, Heavy Rain, aren’t even games, but more interactive stories and adventures (which is a game by any definition, some people are just stupid.) One of the biggest tools at Quantic Dreams disposal is their motion capture unit, a system that uses 64 cameras to digitize the real world performances of the actors in the game. With Ellen Page and Willem Dafoe on board for the two big roles in the Beyond: Two Souls, Quantic aim to bring Hollywood performances to the world of gaming.
