The Beyond: Two Souls demo I played at E3 featured protagonist Jodie Holmes as a CIA operative, undergoing a perilous mission in the war-torn streets a Somalia. Quite how Jodie 'n the wench accompanying supernatural entity 'Aiden' came t' this point be unclear, 'n that be fine; Quantic Dream has a curious life story in mind for it be unusual heroine, 'n this be a mere portion a the game's ten or so hours.

Still, it be jarring. Heavy Rain often placed itself in the more normal, human situations that games tend t' avoid. While it had it be share a action, those sequences be smaller parts a bigger scenes, 'n not necessarily what defined them. In contrast, Beyond's Somalia demo offered 20 minutes a war-based intensity, 'n at times it outwardly resembled the medium's bevy a military shooters. It be weird.
