Should Jodie play with dolls? Should Aiden choke Jodie’s adoptive father? Should Jodie exact vengeance upon teenagers who banished her from their party? Instead, the game play is really about making decisions and watching them unfold. This makes Beyond very approachable, but it also means that players never develop the sense of dexterous mastery that most games provide. Text on the screen offers instructions or choices. There’s little consistency to the control scheme, which involves flicking at white dots to watch something happen. Cage has called the system “an interface that will allow you to play life.” Flick up with your right thumb stick, then to the right, then mash the X button a bunch of times, and young Jodie draws a picture. Cage says the game can be controlled with swipes on a downloadable smartphone app, as well as with a conventional PlayStation controller. The controls are simple, almost gesture-based. Cage says there are 23 endings - is an underdeveloped mess. The game’s final act - at least as I experienced it, for Mr. She befriends a child soldier in Mogadishu. She lives for a time with homeless people under a bridge.

Unfortunately, many of the scenes with the adult Jodie are more conventional and more disjointed, akin to a series of TV episodes in which she wanders the earth like Bruce Banner in “The Incredible Hulk.” She helps mystical Navajos in the Southwest battle a creature from the spirit world. There aren’t many games in which the playable character is told, “Don’t you look pretty today?” Nor are there many games with a female protagonist that aren’t at least partly interested in urging you to leer at her backside while you play. In one scene, you are prompted to decide whether she should attempt suicide. Players will find themselves doing unusual things for a video game: deciding whether to wear a dress on a date, whether to drink beer and smoke pot at a party, or whether to kiss a boy and let his hands roam Jodie’s body. Scenes from Jodie’s life, from ages 8 to 23, occur out of chronological order. Dafoe plays Nathan Dawkins, a research scientist and father figure who is studying Jodie for the government. Page’s character, Jodie Holmes, a young woman saddled and blessed with a connection to a silent, otherworldly creature called Aiden. In Beyond, the player mainly controls Ms. Cage and his work depends largely on which weirdness you think is dominant.

More precisely, they’re weird in their wonderfulness and in their awfulness. Cage, who is the founder of the French studio Quantic Dream, seems to think that his games are the only ones about something other than killing.īut mostly he’s divisive because his games are a weird mixture of wonderful and awful. Cage’s backward-looking emphasis on borrowing techniques from cinema to try to tell better stories in video games. Scorsese’s camera style and recreated it on demand - would be an interesting way to improve video game storytelling.

That’s partly because of his outlandish pronouncements about the future of the medium, like when he said last month during a lecture to the British Academy of Film and Television that developing an algorithmic Martin Scorsese - artificially intelligent software that imitated Mr.

David Cage really loves his 1980s style superfluous shower scenes, eh?įunnily enough, some users have been asking Page on Twitter if she actually did a full nude body scan for Beyond, but it doesn't look like there's a lot of responsive chatter about the now infamous scene. This shouldn't come as much of a surprise given that the exact same thing happened with Quantic Dream's other mature rated game, Heavy Rain, where users used the debug mode to get one of the main characters, Madison, to rock nothing but her birthday suit in yet another shower scene. The NSFW images are on an imgur page right here, showcasing a near photo-realistic 3D scanned rendition of Ellen Page, completely and entirely without any clothing. So Reddit user DJMockingJay managed to get some uncensored photos from the debug mode where free-camera mode was enabled, allowing the user to snap some pictures of Ellen Page's 3D alter ego, Jodie, completely and entirely in the buff.
