[PS3] Thirty-five minutes of Beyond: Two Souls footage from Tribeca Film Festival

You can say what you want about Heavy Rain but Quantic Dream's ambitious step towards a heavily narrative-driven style of video game was something that genuinely excited me. It was rough around the edges but still left a lasting impression on me.

So when David Cage announced that the studio were working on a new game last year, Beyond: Two Souls, I was immediately on board. Since then we've had a few announcements here and there, including the October release date. But this week at the Tribeca Film Festival we were gifted a new trailer and over thirty minutes of gameplay.

If you'd rather not have some things spoiled for you then you'd probably be better off checking out the trailer instead of the gameplay footage. But if you would much rather see it in action then feel free to hit play below; you'll see that David Cage and his team have come a long way from Heavy Rain.

Boston Festival of Indie Games returns in September

by Jessica Conditt on Jan 16th 2013 7:15PM

The Boston Festival of Indie Games is back for round two this year, taking place on September 14 from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on the MIT campus. The Boston Festival of Indie Games is a free event, open to the public, and last year included 36 showcase games, such as Resonance, Cognition, Snapshot, Fieldrunners 2 and Go Home Dinosaurs. Look at how much fun all of the attendees had in this photo album.

Last year, Festival had attendees voted on their favorite showcase games and handed out prizes in five categories. Games don't have to be from the Boston area, but can come from anywhere as long as developers attend the show to demo it (and, from the look of those pictures, drink if they're of age). Categories include digital, board and card games, and the festival is live-action roleplay friendly. It doesn't appear that game registration for this year has opened yet, but when it does it will be at the Boston Festival of Indie Games site.
