Sony has confirmed that Beyond: Two Souls will be launching its fine ass in North America on October 8th.
Also revealed was the character Nathan Dawkins, “an enigmatic scientist working for a top-secret government division studying paranormal activity. His professional curiosity in Jodie, driven by personal tragedy, is a central theme in Beyond: Two Souls.” He will be voiced by Willem Dafoe, who you may recognize from the Spider-Man films.
I remember watching the reveal of Beyond: Two Souls at last year’s Sony presser, and despite the amount of alcohol in my system I remember thinking, “DAMN SAM I REALLY WANT THIS GAME IN MY MOUTH.” And yes, I said there was alcohol in my system. I blame Sony. They always give out free food and drink before their conferences.
Like I said above, I can’t wait! Are you stoked for Beyond: Two Souls as well? I’m pumped to see what Quantic Dream can do — hopefully we’ll get another meme out of this game. “SHAWWWWWN!!!” “SHAWN?” “SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWN!” “JASON!” “JAAAAAA-SOOOON!”
I really really like quantic dream as a developer. They are masterful at capturing drama and creating a movie like enviroment where the human condition is explored. Even though they probably did a 3D scan of ellen page and william dafoe I was amazed at how quickly I recognized Ellen page as the little girl. Hopefully one of these days I will get to play one of their games.
YES YES and YES. The way they’re able to capture emotion is mesmerizing. Whenever you get to Heavy Rain (or Beyond!) let me know!
Anything with Willem Dafoe is automatically 1000% better than it was without him on the project.
I thought you’d say that ;)
