Choice-based gameplay and “cinematic” storytelling is everywhere now with Telltale Games and the recent acclaimed Life is Strange and Until Dawn. But none of this would happen without David Cage. Beyond: Two Souls is flawed and very divisive like all his games but it sure is an ambitious one.

And of course the tough choices are always there, Pizza, Chicken or Beef? Pizza for me

I hope the PS4 version with the chapters in chronological order comes to North America. I’d like to replay the game in that order, and see how that changes the feel.

I think I chose Asian Beef. Don’t remember.

I didn’t know other countries got a chronological order version. I really enjoyed the story in non-chronological order, but I agree, it would be pretty interesting to experience the story a different way.

Asian Beef all the way.

I like “cinematic storytelling” but I’m not crazy about David Cage’s games.

I think Heavy Rain is his strongest game, maybe because he didn’t go overboard on the supernatural stuff and kept it on a smaller scale.

A PS4 remastered version was announced some time ago. One of the differences is that it will feature a optional chronological version. It will be released some time this year.

@Caliburn
Quantic Dream confirmed on twitter it will come to North America, but probably only digitally unlike Europe that will have a retail version.

And people, Asian beef? Ryan didn’t deserve the hassle, heated up pizza was enough for him

I would say Heavy Rain is his strongest game, but not because it didn’t go overboard with supernatural stuff. Indigo Prophecy definitely could have dialed it back quite a bit, but I felt that Beyond’s supernatural stuff was just fine. The supernatural added to the story without making it totally weird. I think what makes Heavy Rain so strong was the repercussions of your actions with each character. It was awesome to play a game where you could make a decision, and it would have an actual effect on the story or on other characters. That’s what makes it so good.

Ohh, I think I heard of the remastered version, but I didn’t really pay attention.

If you like that, you should really play Until Dawn. Goes way beyond what Heavy Rain does with choice and effect.

Ooh, thanks! I’ll definitely take a look at it.
