Beyond two souls

Introduction

As PlayStation buys Nixxes Software from a Dutch company, the possibilities to port PS-exclusive games to PC are now open. In fact, Nixxes software is famous for its various PC ports like Marvel Avengers and Tomb Raider reboots. This progressive move from the PlayStation will make it possible to bring more games from PS to the PC world.

Journey to Bring Exclusive Games to PC

In the last few years, exclusive games like Beyond Two Souls, Horizon Zero Dawn, and Heavy Rain have received a dedicated PC port. But the quest to bring more PS exclusive games to the PC has just started. It is crucial to understand that bringing more exclusive games to PC is bound to create a wider audience of gamers. The dilemma for PlayStation has always been about whether or not bringing their console games to PC is a sustainable solution.

What about Brand Identity?

The market response proves that bringing more exclusive games to PC won’t taint the brand

After a long wait, the release date for the PlayStation 4 version of Beyond Two Souls has been announced. Once November 24 hits, players will be able to purchase the remastered version of Beyond Two Souls for the PlayStation 4.

The new version of Beyond Two Souls on the PlayStation 4 will differ slightly from the original version. Firstly the game has been upgraded with new HD graphics, making the game look even nicer than the original PS3 release.

The new version of the game will cost players $29.99 and will be available from the PlayStation store starting November 24. On top of the HD 1080p resolution improvements, the game now has motion blur, bloom and depth of field effects, as well as improved lighting and shadows. The game also makes use of the DualShock 4 speaker to improve immersion when playing as the Entity.

A new feature will also show what decisions you've made at the end of each scene and you'll be able to see how you compare to other player's decisions.

It's been suggested a thousand times but it seems like Sony are finally ready to bite the bullet and admit that both Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls will be coming to the PlayStation 4.

Both titles have been developed by Quantic Dreams and they offer a more story-driven approach to gameplay than most other games would deliver. Whilst Beyond: Two Souls did receive some mixed reviews, there was no doubt that both Beyond and Heavy Rain were quite interesting ideas that refined the boundaries of what a video game is.

Whilst it would be expected to see a "remastered bundle" for both Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls, both games will be available separately as digital downloads, whilst a bundle version, including both titles, will be available both in a physical and digital format.

So far neither a price tag nor a release date has been announced but it's likely both will be released at the same time. It wouldn't be too unrealistic to believe that Heavy Rain will be released

According to new rumors, Beyond Two Souls may be coming to the PlayStation 4 some time in the near future. Packaged as a 'director's cut,' the new alleged PlayStation 4 compatible Beyond Two Souls will come with a range of previously removed scenes, and an overhaul on some scenes already within the game.

This isn't the first time we've heard rumors circulate about a PlayStation 4 Beyond Two Souls port, and it's certainly not going to be the last, but until we hear something substantial from an official source there's no way of knowing how likely it is that Beyond Two Souls will actually make it to the PS4.

The source for the new rumors leads to two German retail websites, both of which have listed up the 'Beyond Two Souls director's cut' for release on the PlayStation 4. Earlier in the year, a programmer working on the game listed a PlayStation 4 remake within his portfolio, so there is definitely something related to a new Beyond Two Souls release happening in the background.

Beyond: Two Souls may have been lacking in true gameplay content, but it still offered a unique experience that was hard to find elsewhere - I found the story quite enjoyable myself, and whilst it could have been improved in many ways, I wouldn't say it wasn't worth my time or money.

For those that got caught up in the console generation crossover and didn't get a chance to play through Beyond: Two Souls, you may be in luck. Whilst it's only rumors and whispering at the moment, it's looking quite likely. A portfolio from a game programmer working on Beyond: Two Souls has been spotted on the internet, that before it was suddenly removed, it contained an image that suggested coding was in place for DualShock 4 input.

There was also a reference to a "director's cut" that may include cut scenes, and if you're still not taking the bait, the co-CEO of Beyond: Two Souls started to re-tweet a few tweets that referenced a Beyond: Two Souls remake, which would suggest he knows something

For a game that really isn't that much of a game, Quantic Dream's Beyond Two Souls has done significantly well. Despite critics complaining at the lack of gameplay content and the small amount of punishment that was given for player mistakes, it was all in all quite a nice game, and I think QD reached the goals they wanted to with this title.

Beyond Two Souls was never really meant to be about the gameplay content, and instead offered a new "cinematic experience" if you will - something that feels like a movie but gets you just a little bit more involved.

I can personally say I really enjoyed the title myself, and I'm sure a good portion of the 1 million players that bought the game did too.

Quantic Dreams' previous game, Heavy Rain, has managed to ship an impressive 3 million copies since it's launch in 2010, so it'll be interesting to see whether Beyond Two Souls will be able to do the same.

Considering that Beyond Two Souls is console exclusive, I really do

Details and footage of Quantic Dream's Beyond: Two Souls has been recently shown off at the Tribeca Film Festival on April 27^th. Quantic Dream's director for the game, David Cage revealed details about the games overall length and average game experience for most players at the Film Festival, saying that Beyond: Two Souls will take players on average 10 hours to complete, giving it a similar completion time as David Cage's other well-known title, Heavy Rain.

The game does have multiple choices to make in the game that will affect the ending in some way, giving the player an incentive to play through the 10 hour storyline again to experience all of the possible story that Beyond: Two Souls carries.

Although the Tribeca Film Festival showed footage of Beyond: Two Souls, anyone that missed the event and is interested in watching what the game has to offer can watch the new trailer that has also been released alongside the Tribeca Film Festival reveal. The trailer shows

When The Last Guardian was first revealed it looked as if it was going to be one of those masterpieces that you would buy a console just to play. As you can see from the following trailers it seemed epic, grand, mystifying and above all incredibly intriguing. Before even seeing anything about the game we all expected it to be along the lines of the PS2 masterpieces, Shadow of the Colossus and ICO. Check out the trailers:

Yep, you read it right, it was announced in 2010. Has it been launched yet? Far from it. Just like any of those games that gamers are dying to play, The Last Guardian's launch date kept on postponing till the point that it was believed it had been cancelled altogether.

The rumor about the cancellation

Quantic Dream's new game, Beyond: Two Souls

From the creators of Heavy Rain, Quantic Dream, comes another PS3 exclusive - Beyond: Two Souls. This game is going to be another emotional journey that will take story telling within games to another level.

According to David Cage, Founder of Quantic Dream, Beyond would allow players to actually witness the life of a character. In the game we will get to follow the protagonist, Jodie Holmes, through 15 years of her life. We will get to see her grow, mature and become the woman she is.

The story is quite intriguing and has a lot of promise. Growing up Jodie has always felt a connection with something that doesn’t belong to her world. This entity
