I am looking forward to it based on Heavy Rain experience. I completely understand why opinion was split on that and is on this.

I'm a little upset that the scores are so low because I am all for this direction for games, they have their place in the industry. Also, should game reviewers really be reviewing this game, since it also is a movie experience?

I think the game industry alone is inadequate at scoring a game like this honestly.

Not quite at the point yet where the film critics can properly rate this either.

 

What we need is a serial killer slasher title like this. How many times have you watched a movie like Friday The 13th and was like "No stupid! Don't go that way! Go inside the house, NOW!"?

I would love to play something like that and yell at the movie and have it react.



OMFG! I.MUST.HAVE.THIS.GAME!!!!!

They gave Heavy rain 87.

so I guess you could expect an average of mid 70's overall based on that very unscientific stab in the dark.


Yeah,yeah i know but the problem with me is that i expect big scores like the ones for TLOU or Uc2 from every game that i like. :(

Don't worry. BEYOND isn't only aimed to us gamers.

It was selected to appear at the Tribeca Film Festival for a reason.

 

As much as game reviewers might whine about "where is the actual game", this is the best type of game to play with family around you. Well, that's what I do anyways.


Just no

Explain then, because your response is nothing more than an empty "No" with no actual argument behind it.

My fiance loved watching me play HEAVY RAIN.

What type of game is great for people who just want to watch you play and not actually pick up a controller?

I was pretty excited about this game, but I have to be honest. I thought the demo was LAME.

I know that B2S has some (albeit limited) multiplayer. I agree this is really a great experience for a familiy viewing. I am really hoping this takes off in an episodal model in the future it can be a great cross-over between games and movie/tv series. It is a very promising future for gaming.

Many games lack the fine stories in tv series, and TV series lack the interactivity of games. Imho this could be win-win if they just change the delivery ever so slightly.

It will drop below 70

Quantic may not become an official member of the PlayStation family now..

I definitely don't want any studio in the PlayStation family to be one that produces garbage/rubbish. Zipper was closed SuperBot didn't make the cut, United Front Games(LBP Karting and Mod Nation Racing devs) had a potential shot at one point but also didn't make the cut and now QD might have missed their opportunity

I'm not sure if Beyond isn't getting much love because it's garbage or because of something else


I guess Quantic Dream could still become one of the newest members of the PS family depending on why Beyond scored lower than expected


So, we ignore Heavy Rain now?

Partially

 

Heavy Rain released 2010. Beyond is releasing now in 2013. A great developer is not one that makes 1 good game and the rest are garbage. You want a developer that can bring quality with EACH release

 

I'm tired of looking forward to games that will end up being garbage. Do you remember games like Haze and Lair? Those games looked like they were going to be SERIOUS but they came out and were garbage. Do you remember what the PS3 launched with? It launched with 4 exclusives but the majority only remember 1 and that's Resistance. It had Genji, NBA 07, Untold Legends and Resistance. why does nobody ever remember the other 3? BECAUSE THEY WERE PRETTY MUCH GARBAGE!

 

Aint nobody got time for no damn flops!

 

Beyond is NOT garbage but it was close to being on the bad side.

 

I will be happy if it reaches green(75 or above) on Metacritic
