Can Beyond: Two Souls Bring Back the Magic?

Beyond: Two Souls, Quantic Dream

Heavy Rain may not be the most “gamey” game in existence but it was still quite a bit of fun. There were quite a few choices that were gut wrenching at the time, even if they were largely meaningless when you look back on it. Beyond: Two Souls is Quantic Dream's next take on story telling in gaming and I was curious to see how they'd make it work.

One of the best parts about Heavy Rain was that, with multiple characters, failure and even death could be part of the narrative instead of just a death screen before going back to the checkpoint. This made scenes more exciting because you knew if you screwed up the QTEs enough you could die and not be given a second chance for that character. With Beyond: Two Souls only having one character it seems like a bit of that tension may be gone this time around, but at least the demo showed me that the gameplay has certainly been refined...
