BEYOND E3 2012 Announcement Trailer June 4, 2012

Quantic Dream’s latest game has finally been unveiled.

Director David Cage personally introduced his company’s newest game for the Playstation 3 as the first game previewed at Sony’s E3 2012 Media Briefing, BEYOND.  Right off the heels of releasing 2010’s PS3-exclusive sleeper hit Heavy Rain and the KARA Demo at this year’s GDC, comes a whole new game.

It seems that Quantic Dream is once again dabbling in the realm of supernatural.  In the game you play as Jody Holmes (played by Ellen Page) who has established a mental connection with a spirit.  In the game, we follow Jody through many years of her life, which is a highly unique concept for a video game.

It really seems like once again they are bringing something new and fresh to the table.  The following is a scene that Cage stated comes early on in the game.  All footage is real-time running on the Playstation 3’s hardware.

David Cage promises that this game will focus more on action than Heavy Rain did.  He also promises that we will have full control of Jody as well as the spirit over the course of the game.  From just watching the trailer it does appear that Jody has supernatural powers that can be used as a part of gameplay, but David Cage would not go into specifics about what would be available to the player just now.

BEYOND is coming exclusive to the Playstation 3.
