I don't know. It would be strange for the European version of a game to have French audio only.

I can't decide to get this later & cheaper (easier on the wallet with the PS4 coming) or get the limited edition now from GameStop as I don't want to miss out in the extra half hour of story...

blisteredthumbs is not a news source, it's a blog.
the censorship has already been cleared out in the thread. check the previous pages. uncut for us. 5-10 seconds of altered scenes in the eu. that's it.

Do we know how the two-player thing works? My sister and I will be playing this together.
One plays on a phone or tablet using the Beyond Touch app. The other one with a controller

EmptySpace calls dibs on bald jodie holmes.
I like how this article is just parroting what was said in the GAF thread which is from one German retailer which I have no idea why they would know about cuts to the US version.

It's just 10 seconds that even part of the development team feels are unnecessary to the game. They are not even removed, just slightly altered. I'm pretty sure you can't import the SE from US, so the additional 30 minutes of cool content would be far more important to me than 10 seconds of violence toned down.
You mean combat? You have some time to watch her movement. Impulse reactions are most of the time punished, because you didn't interpret her movement correctly. You have like 3 seconds to figure out the correct answer, so take your time. It's really not tricky not all.
And yes, there is a physic engine behind the stuff you do with Aiden. Some of it is scripted, but you can move certain objects freely around. Of course I don't know how far they go with this stuff in the final game.

Since it was released 1 year ago by Sony PR I doubt it.
You can use 2 DS3 controllers, 2 smartphones/tablets or one of each. Just play with what your sister is comfortable with. Then just make sure that the PS3 and phone are in the same wireless network and you can connect using the app and adjust settings from the main menu.Do we know how the two-player thing works? My sister and I will be playing this together.

Translation(Russian is my native language).
"Sony reps told Lenta, that in Russia game will be released without any changes. Russia will be getting the same version as US. But game will be rated 18+"
So it's not confirmed that game is uncensored in US. I wouldn't be surprised that Russia will get fully uncensored version.

ARE YOU HYPED!?
We both love Heavy Rain. I couldn't help myself and watched the beginning of Beyond. It hooked me immediately. You won't be disappointed I think.
Thanks. Google Translate indicated to me that it said it would be uncensored. But I still think that the German retailer is full of shit and US will be uncut.

I have had zero hype for this game, but all of a sudden I am seeing positive buzz around. I hope my PS3 still turns on, I am gonna have to give this a go. Heavy Rain was great for the first couple of hours until the story fell completely apart, hopefully Beyond doesn't nose dive either.

Seems like you read the wrong snippets. It's more like HR than you think.
10-15 hours according to the gameplay lead. GAF reviewer took 12 hours.
Nope, all EU versions have English audio.
Fuck. Ok no more YouTube for me.

I've always liked the idea of QD games more than the actual execution of them, but the Beyond demo was frigging awesome. Day one.

It's actually very strange that Russia will get US version. All Sony titles was Europe version.Last of Us, God of War:A, Twisted Metal. But game releases in Europe on October 11th, but in Russia on October 9th.
I just got answer from my internet store, I asked them about cuts in US and EU and they said: Both versions, EU and US, has been cut.
It's very respected store. They are official partners of Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo. And they NEVER answer any question if they are not 100% sure. But at the same time they are saying what their distributors/Sony contacts told them.
Yup I guess I have to set myself in a different mind set as to "follow her punch direction/ dodging direction" etc instead of what I'm used to in say an action game. There's still some inconsistency with all that tho that's just weird, say most objects you interact by moving the right stick to the right, but sitting on the chair is moving the right stick towards the chair (left down). If it follows the movement motion, then opening the door should be moving the stick right then down, and picking things from floor should be just down? It's just weird to me.
And the physics engine is also part of the inconsistency problem then, I don't know which ones allow free movements and which doesn't, I only get to flip almost everything upwards in the demo. I would except to be able to flip cars to about where I want them to land when the SWAT teams are approaching Jodie in the demo for example.
I just finished the demo....did anyone get any technical issues regarding Jodies face textures? For like 5 minutes her entire face went black. :l
Otherwise, I was kind of digging the demo. Love that Ghost Trick/Geist vibe the game had to it. Gonna wait for a price drop tho.
EDIT: Ellie and Jodie are two cute chicks and I get them confused, sue me

No i had no problem in The Last of Us.

Oh you misunderstood that. Read the OP. There is a tutorial created by me. For Jodie's interactions what the movement is doesn't matter. You just have to press the right stick towards the white dot realtive to the center of the screen.
oh wow that's even weirder than I thought it is lol. Still digging HR's control more than this game tho, HR is just more...immersive imo.
It is released here in Sweden on the 9th though. At least that is what Webhallen, where I ordered it from, has as release date. Also seems that is the same date in Germany (the game is damn expensive on amazon.de though). So, seems it is only the UK where it is released on the 11th, having friday releases as usual. UK != Europe

I think it is really simple once you figure it out. It's more immersive to me than HR, because I don't have to see these giant button prompts all the time and do weird motions (that you can fuck up easily leading to funny but immersive breaking results). In Beyond you just do what feels natural and to me that's really cool (especially since it works).
Here are some quick and dirty examples using the pictures from the OT:
1. You press up
2. You press down-left. The game is very lenient and also accepts the approximate (which is just down or left)
3. You can press right for the door or down-left for the trunk (or just left)
As you can see it makes perfect sense. I suggest playing the demo again with this new knowledge.
I'm confused by the rules. Are we only allowed to shower the game with praises and can't say anything objective about David Cage or the game? That seems rather silly that we can't offer up any constructive criticism, even if we still like the game. It all seems rather...boring. David Cage is a blowhard, terrible writer, and delusional about how revolutionary his games are but I still greatly enjoyed Indigo Prophecy and Heavy Rain despite both being deeply DEEPLY flawed.

Nope, had no problems on 4 runs. How are the loading times for you? If they are too long you might get streaming problems in the full game resulting in these kind of glitches. You should rebuild the PS3 database in that case, at least it helped for me once.
Mhm, man that sucks.

I didn't even know the demo was out... my God, I am behind the times.
Downloading right now.
I really hope the story and acting for this game is better than Heavy Rain. Heavy Rain had a great concept and great individual scenes, but was such a massive failure on the narrative front... but it still was an interesting experiment, so I don't regret trying it. Have high hopes for Beyond. I hope Cage has written a better script this time around. Plus, how can Dafoe ever disappoint?

The rules are don't walk into this David Cage thread to tell everyone all about how you hate David Cage and won't be playing this.

Damn.
You just can't say stuff like "it's not a game" or "David Cage should do movies instead."
Criticism is welcome.
