Video PS3

Thanks to a Gamestop promotion on Facebook I was able to download the Beyond: Two Souls a little earlier than normal.
Check out this amazing looking game, Day 1 for me.
Update 3: The Hunted video added...now with sound.

Very happy with demo. Glad to see that the frame rate has been cleaned up pretty significantly compared to previous trailers.

this game looks absolutely bonkers, outclasses some next-gen games. What a weird concept too. Don't think i'd ever play it, but its cool we're getting games like this that are so different and weird.

there's a gamestop facebook page which include a "Early Demo Access code" event.
Maybe you can try this! I've got one from that!

Did you actually play the game? It is very clearly trying to bridge the gap between games and films and makes no bones about it. The game does indeed offer a highly scripted experience, but it plays somewhat like a very linear point and click. Bunch of cgi movies with a little interaction would be games like Myst.

Anyway, this looks pretty stunning visually, and while I am unsure how they will play out the concept narratively, switching between the two protagonist surely will create some interesting gameplay scenarios

It is quite embarrassing how many high profile exclusives have been released for PS3 especially when you look at the competition. I will remember this when buying my next console.

No no kuni
GoWA
Sly Cooper
MLB 13
TLoU
Dragons C
ToX
Puppeteer
Beyond 2S
GT6

Different people like different games some like GT6, some like Uncharted more and some KZ or GOW or platform games. They have games on all genre and all are good. B2S is also different game and the gfx are really amazing.

sony nerds? So that is opposed to you, the "xbox nerd" who is on a gaming forum making fun your "rival" video game console's exclusive games? Look in the mirror.

Coming from someone who hypes a game like Ryse? Wow. For once I actually agree with korndog about something... scary.

PS3 won this gen only for the fact they innovate with the titles they release and don't rely on timed fkn DLC......just saying.

OMFG I've got to get this game, and i'll have only about a month to finish it (selling my PS3 for the PS4). Loved Heavy Rain so I'm sure this one will be good too, maybe even better. Graphics certainly look much better, actually I think this looks better than any PS3 game I've played (even better than TLoU).

They didn't win anything at all. You don't get a prize for selling consoles.

Judging from playing the demo myself and as someone who also really enjoyed Heavy Rain, everything about Beyond from a GAME perspective is leaps and bounds better. The controls are much more streamlined, the engine is performing much more efficiently while looking significantly better at the same time, and there's none of the odd euro accents to the voice work since they went with predominantly American actors this time through for the English version. The only thing that is yet to be seen is whether or not this game's story will carry the same weight as Heavy Rain's. I fear that it may be veering dangerously close to the supernatural cheesiness of Indigo Prophecy/Farenheit, but hopefully they make Jodie's journey the central point and not Aiden.

I have to agree with aphex187. In my personal opinion I own a console for the gaming experiences that I cannot get on my PC(and let's face the facts here: a pc with a $500+ GPU WILL be a better platform for multiplatform titles). And in that regard the PS3 handily beats the 360. Don't get me wrong, the 360 is a fine(for the most part) system with a few decent titles worth checking out if you've got the ability to own multiple systems, but if you're looking for unique and challenging experiences, the Sony with the PS3 just offers them in spades compared to Microsoft's offerings. Full disclosure: I own all the systems in addition to my PC.
