Beyond: Two Souls ‘bootleg’ video

The upcoming David Cage penned title, Beyond: Two Souls, is an official selection in the Tribeca Film Festival which is quite a feat. So in celebration of that Sony has put together what appears to be a bootlegged, off screen, leak of the experience which has been put together really well.

It’s quite the accomplishment for a game to break into an artsy film festival so congratulations to the team behind Beyond: Two Souls and I look forward to hearing a lot more about this game in the coming week.

I suspect it will have a decent showing at E3 later this year so stay tuned to hear all about that.

Side note… the graphics in these games are getting better and better as we go and the latest improvements are focussing on the smaller things like hair physics and water physics but there is still one thing that always irritates me.

If you click the header image it will embiggen itself, then take a look at how well the face is rendered, along with the scars and wounds.. great right? Then look at the necklace and how terribly it is lying around the neck.

Yes it’s great that we are now whining about such a small issue but for some reason it just irritates me. Am I forever alone with this gripe?

    “Yes it’s great that we are now whining about such a small issue but for some reason it just irritates me. Am I forever alone with this gripe?”

    Nope. They can use the same tech they have for the hair to render the necklace. It would behave in a similar fashion. They would just need to use physics to give it more weight.

    That and collision detection on such a small scale is still a ways away from being “real”

    Anyway, the game is looking amazing

      If you can’t render the necklace properly, leave it out… who needs a necklace anyway?

        Not sure if that’s the best solution. You’d end up with very bland characters then.

          The point being, if you want to do something, do it properly. Especially if you’ve put so much effort into the rest of the characters, story, environment and pretty much everything.

            I’m sure there are more technical issues that prevent it from being perfect like we want 🙂

            But agreed. Small things like this can very easily break the awe of the immersion if it’s an eyesore

      But how much more will that add to the production cost for something that will rarely be seen since you’re playing as the character? It’s nice to gripe about it but does it really matter?

        I don’t think it adds to the production cost. It’s already included in the character design. Adding or removing a necklace won’t change the cost of designing the character really. Not in any significant way anyway.

            lol. All that being said it depends if the designer is being paid per hour or a fixed fee for the contract.
