Today we’re very pleased t' unveil our packshot for BEYOND: Two Souls, due for release in October for PlayStation 3.
We worked together with the team at Quantic Dream t' choose an image that we felt be both cinematic 'n in keeping with the emotional journey that the final game will take ye on. We hope ye like it.
Developing the pack front for a game like BEYOND be always an exciting challenge. BEYOND be so unique in the sense that it spans a character’s entire lifetime 'n takes place in such a vast array a locations 'n situations, that picking a singular image t' represent the game effectively really does feel like digging for a needle in a haystack. What age do we want Jodie t' be in the image? Do we include co-star Willem Dafoe? Do ye show Jodie doing something dynamic or do we show the wench more at peace? These be all questions we had t' ask ourselves throughout the process (among a great deal a other questions!).
Ultimately, we decided on the packshot ye see above because it felt sophisticated, mature 'n different from most traditional game packaging, 'n it really captures the emotion Ellen Page conveyed in the wench performance as Jodie. The image a Jodie at peace in the eye a the storm really speaks t' the wench constant battle with the incredible gift she’s been given.
Next week, on Saturday 27th April, BEYOND will be screened at the Tribeca Film Festival, followed by a panel featuring writer/director David Cage 'n actress Ellen Page. Stay tuned next week on PlayStation Blog for details a how ye can watch this event via a live stream.
