PlayStation brings Beyond: Two Souls to Tribeca Film Festival

Tribeca Film Festival played host to the official screening of Beyond: Two Souls gameplay last weekend, which included a panel discussion with Game Director David Cage and the Hollywood cast.

Beyond has been recognized as an Official Selection by the Tribeca Film Festival for its impact on the Future of Film. The exclusive post-screening panel featured actors Ellen Page, Kadeem Hardison and Eric Winter. During the discussion, they spoke of how their professional acting backgrounds contributed to their performance in this game. Additionally they discussed the challenges of working in a motion capture studio to produce the story.

"This is a momentous event both in the world of gaming and in the history of the Tribeca Film Festival," said Willem Dafoe. "Beyond: Two Souls tells a beautiful story and the players can wholly participate in each scenario and choose the characters' action. This game is unlike any project that I've ever been involved with before."

The exclusive scene revealed at the Tribeca Film Festival, titled "Homeless," follows Jodie during a challenging part of her life where she is homeless and must find the will to survive in dire circumstances. The scene explores the relationships she forms with other homeless characters and the challenges they face, including finding their next meal and struggling to survive.

Beyond: Two Souls releases exclusively for the PlayStation 3 system on October 8, 2013 in North America.
