I'm really hyped for this. Been on blackout since the original long trailer and only caught glimpses of the military trailer. Having really enjoyed Indigo Prophecy and Heavy Rain, I'm all in for any David Cage game.

I played the first hour and a half of the game sooooo amazing
The Party during middle aged ellie
I love this game already.
Edit: I misspelled spoiler and had a panic attack when I tabbed back and it wasn't in spoiler tag. . .
A related video about games.
Sorry
. I just get all flustered when i think about that kiss
The Party during middle aged ellie
I was talking to the guy at the part and he put his hand on my ass, so I moved them up but gave him a kiss because I thought it was sweet how he didn't make fun of my link with Aidan. Then he called me a slut and said I was following him like a puppy dog. . . .
So I threw some pots and pans at him then a convection oven at him. He stopped moving and I said "Oh shit I killed him." I left and he was still alive I kind of felt disappointed and happy at the same time. . . .

Fix your spoiler tag please
I don't get to judge though because I was a hot mess accidentally in the Last of Us thread.

Wishing I still had friends working at GameStop. Wait, I think I still do, but not anywhere near my house... grrr.
Oh well, I'll just do all my errands before 10am and then be at my GameStop when the doors open (San Jose, CA)

Excellent, managed to hold a copy for pickup via Redbox down the street. New games aren't really in the budget for a bit, looking forward to playing though!

It's out in Forest Hills/Rego Park NY thanks to Gamestop.
Sorry
Absolutely no problem, like I said, I was an accidental hot mess all through the Last of Us thread. Haha.
Glad you're enjoying it and I'm excited to start tomorrow!

I fear tomorrow might be both uplifting and demoralising:
How have things evolved since 2010? Am I "too old for that s..."?

Hopefully all of Sony's promises with the store and digital content for the PS4 pan out. There really isn't an excuse for a first party title to not be offered Day 1 digitally.
Edit: Actually, I think the store will update later today for Beyond and also to provide SoC to PS+ members. So technically Day 1, but the timing is still sort of weird since it won't be until around 4 pm, and then all the downloading and installation.

David Cage had a live interview with the readers of 20 Minutes newspaper (in French), yesterday: http://www.20minutes.fr/vousinterviewez/1232181-20131004-interviewez-david-cage-createur-jeux-video
He talked about working at Quantic Dream, QD's next game on the PS4, making video games in France, QTEs, playing Metal Gear Solid, Fumito Ueda, making games for PC, not making sequels, etc. I'll translate later if people are interested.
Oh God yes! That's the best way to create things. Thanks, David.
I also agree that the supernatural is not the main point of Beyond. It's a literary tool to ask philosophical questions about life and death (and tell. While I'm not a fan of fantasy or science fiction (I have no interest in monsters, magic or robots, as I'm interested in human beings and their lives, their joy and suffering), using supernatural elements in Beyond has freed David Cage -creatively- to get his point across more efficiently. The problem with Heavy Rain is that it's (almost) strictly realistic so they had to do whatever they could within this frame. In the end, we got a crime story/drama, which is nice, but felt to me like 'just another genre story'. However, once you allow yourself to write things that wouldn't be possible in the physical world, everything is possible. It's easy to over-indulge in the supernatural and just write mindless escapism (Game of Thrones is cool, but does it tell anything significant about life and the human condition?) but Cage seems to have always kept his point in mind. He used only what was strictly necessary in Beyond.
Cage also said 'It's a pretext to tell the life of someone who has to accept his/her difference and accept him/herself as he/she is'.
I totally agree and that's why I identified so much with Jodie*. I'm not a girl, I don't live with an entity, but I am a person who's been struggling with accepting myself, for different reasons. I think any person who's in the same situation can identify with Jodie, if only in a metaphorical way.
*(not to mention I have known loneliness, hostility from my parents, thoughts of giving up and commit suicide, and I've even experienced being homeless for a very short period of time and that kind of thing can traumatize you)

Good job guys (especially Repli who did the OT). We managed to create a QD thread that didn't go to shit during the first 15 (or 30) pages. It's so focused in fact that the executive producer and co-CEO is actually able to enjoy the thread and garner honest positive/negative feedback without having to wade through bullshit:
I'm so excited to pick this up tomorrow after work!
Well have gf pick it up at least since she works right next to the gamestop where I'm getting it from.
Never played Heavy Rain nor Indigo Prophecy so this will be my first Cage game.
Loved the demo and love Ellen Page so I'm hoping 1+1 = awesome experience.

I'm just grateful that the mods, especially Y2Kev and Kagari, are watching over the thread. Without them, this thread would be a big mess.
Also, my game is finally shipped! But knowing EB Games' shipping time, I won't get it until Friday. :/

Can't say I was a fan of Heavy Rain, but I'll give this a fair shake since it's in the local Redbox.

Got Asia Director's Cut edition with pre-order bonus.
The art book only have 30 pages....
damn! i'm still waiting for mine to arrive. hopefully tomorrow.
just got prompted for a patch on my region 1 copy.
84 MB update.

i hope so. though it doesn't actually say 'directors cut', just 'directors edition'.
Aiden gameplay is indeed more complicated than anything in HR, but causals can play Aiden or entire game [aiden+jodie] with phone/tablet touchscreen. So there's that...

No. It just gives you some bonus content.

JESUS the music in this game is beautiful. No way Balfe did this by himself. There is probably a fair share of Corbeil in there or Zimmer lend a hand, because it trashes his work on AssCreed 3.

Is this 30 minute bonus DLC available at launch? or is it a later DLC like the Madison files of Heavy Rain?
dragonbane

Launch.
Lee Chaolan

Very cool. Any word if the DLC is going to be available to buy on PSN right away? or is it exclusive content for a while? Not sure if I'll be able to get a Limited Edition version.
Miles Quaritch

Have you played it yet?
That would be awesome if you did that. Very interested.
dragonbane

Nope. Bought the regular edition. Will trade it in towards GTA V after I'm done and will play the DLC as soon as I get my SE (that I will keep) together with you folks. However, there is already a link to the PSN store mentioning the DLC in the menu, so you can probably buy it soon as well.
Why is he saying it's going to be demoralizing?

A lot of reviews saying what they made isn't a game and having the feeling nothing has changed since 2010?

Got it!!!!
Wow, the graphics and the performance capture feel so next gen. I think I played only one hour and I already feel connected with Jodie, in one of the scenes, I really felt sad for her, very moving stuff and is only the beginning of the game
The use of the right stick to interact is genious. My only complains so far are that some animations feel a little "gamy", I guess they didn't use the performance capture for everything. Also sometimes I feel like the white dot should be visible from more distance, but is not big deal.
