PlayStation Blog interview with David Cage and Ellen Page

[@WayneAlexander]

She deserves the Oscar for her portrayal of "Jodie". There is no way you can forget her story! She ripped my insides out and made me cry a river for her character. She truly is one of, if not, the best actress of our time! Can't wait for her stuff in 2014!!!

[@WayneAlexander]

***** mafioso12dk Normally wouldn't add anything to your comments, but I respectfully disagree and didn't find it humorous at all. Even if you don't like the game (which is your right), you have to respect the time and talent it takes to create games of any type now days. For me, I still stand by my comments...Ellen Page did a wonderful job and does deserves recognition for her portrayal of "Jodie". The scene between "Jodie" and her real mom will be forever seared into my head...it seemed so real! If that wasn't convincing, I challenge you to cite an example from any other game where such feeling was conveyed? Remember too that Ellen had to physically play/act out ALL scenarios/choices you make in the game and they weren't really done in order...so to keep responses in line with what the character's personality is, they all had to be believable to the "Jodie" you play.

Oof

[@SirDinzhi]

She really was beautiful I used to have a crush on her

[@Sarafara7]

Did anyone feel that it was a bit rude having invited David cage to join and barley ask him any questions? He's the mind behind this game, at least split the questions in half. :-/ this guy is the only one I want to talk to about his games.

[@Toupalacy]

Beyond: Two Souls was the most beautiful and amazing game I have ever played.

[@LincolnClay98]

I agree, it's a very underrated game.

[@LeifUnni2]

When i first heard the title, I thought it was a sequel to Beyond: Good and Evil.

[@apocryphacomics126]

I preferred her in The Last of us ;)...even if it was not her. lol

[@robertbaur3145]

love both of them Ellen and her adorable twin Ellie made me a die hard Sony fan boy for life

[@robertbaur3145]

if you are going to steal steal from the best. Anyway I consider it a homage to her rather than a "rip off" Even when Ellen used that word its not like she was REALLY angry they copied her. She said she should be flattered they ripped off her likeness. No short reply has ever been so repeated over and over again to create controversy. We have two great Ellen Page characters for ps 3 now. I adore her and her recreations

[@pikachujbs1004]

I LOVE ELLEN PAGE

We all do. She's like a blackhole, when you see her it's no turning back.

Cage and Page are the rage and smell of sage

[@Abbaschand]

Ellen Page, David Cage, Rage Gauge.

[@aerohk]

I heard that the sale figures for this game ain't exactly ideal. I hope they made a profit selling the game, especially when they hired expensive actor like Ellen Page.

[@CardCaptorDeadpool]

i love the way she was saying thanks at the end!

[@ALSHEHRAY07]

can somebody please tell me when is the release date ? or at least the expected release date

[@KnightingMikai]

All of those major characters look like their real actors... holy cow... I checked the imdb page, and the resemblances are striking!

Heavy rain was one of the best gaming experiences ever, people who say"oooo its just a movie" No, its an immersive experience, where you are in control of the characters interactions and outcomes, I love this genre

[@KILLAWATTS804]

Can't wait to play this joint! Heavy Rain was a unique experience and I loved every minute of it..especially as the story moved on. I gotta respect Sony for bringing new experiences like this to its audience..I'm not hating on Microsoft but they haven't come out with a game I would love to play yet...real talk..

[@StarvedSanity]

i can't wait to play this. i know it's going to be a truly unique adventure.

[@Blitzzz147]

In New Zealand we have to pay about 130 bucks on a new release game and even a year after release it only reduces to 90 bucks at least, and the only games that are close to 60 bucks are the HD collections, so you should feel grateful

[@natvader]

great interview.

[@Notrevia]

I have a feeling this will be one of the greatest video games of All time. I'm so stoked about it!! Heavy Rain is one of my favorites to date so I'm really looking forward to what Quantic Dreams is cooking up in this title!

[@firsttenor76]

1 Dislike? I want to meet this person.. clearly the life of the party.

[@lukethegreat101]

Its somewhere on reddit. Im sure you can find it linked or referenced somewhere. People blew it out of proportion though.

[@ssj4leon]

Ever since I watched Juno, I fell in love with her as an actress. She's going to do a fantastic job and I can't wait to play "her" game. :)

[@germanico397]

excelente atriz, sou grande admirador dos trabalhos dela. E o game, certamente será um dos melhores de 2013. estamos todos aguardando.

[@KingdomSlayah]

Motion Capture acting is the best kind of acting. Just pure acting, all imagination. That's when actors truly shine.

[@brandonjasengnou01]

is this game going to be on the ps4? anyone knows?

[@yvngcrispy]

that was like 3:30 AM in my country and i was a bit tired but you're right it was meant to be a reply to Adrian Ivashkov. I feel completely devastated and sorry for your inconvenience.

[@ilovepie990]

i can't wait!!!!

[@LethalConformity]

Yes, she plays Juno MacGriff. Michael Cera plays Paulie Bleeker in Juno.

[@_Saultopaul]

Guys u will never know the true value of beyond two souls game coz it's so beautifully made its so amazing awesome no words wht a beautiful graphics wonderful

[@barebarekun161]

Quantic Dream is not a first party dev they just found it comfortable to working with sony you know their first game was on PC and Indigo Prophecy was also on xbox.

[@ruhkillmeez7910]

Yeah, she's already twenty-six years old, I still see her as twenty-one years old, and that ain't as different, but it is a big difference! Man, before i know it, she'll be in her forties at one point. And I'm obsessed with her and such, so kinda gonna be hard for me to accept when her career as playing as other characters on the big screen ends, but she's even in a video-game now, a video game that is like a movie! She knows when to choose to be in such perfect roles!

[@etwisabeta]

It's crazy to see how much work is made in a video game. We usually take it for granted

[@abokhai29]

She didn't even look that much like Ellen Page, she had red hair. It was the personality that reminded people of her. Extremely well voice acted btw if you havent had the chance to play it, do it, totally worth it.

[@SRCmandan]

I love that video games are moving towards a much higher form of art. Thanks so much Ellen for being involved in this :)

[@HEADSHOTPROLOL]

We don't only have great graphics, we have awesome mods, programs, great exclusives, etc.

[@TR0J3NH0R5E]

I remember just before this game came out, people were doubting it. Now everyone has seen the light

[@toolther]

She's brilliant. Glad actors and actresses can really see video games like this as something beyond just a game, but a story not unlike a movie that we want to fall in love with, play, inspire and teach us something.

[@JakeDude1006]

Why is this video age restricted?

[@theprideling]

It's not stupid :O And yes, she does. She's also Ariadne in Inception, Kitty in Xmen and Hayley in Hard Candy, to name a few =) She's a really good actress.

[@sayaprogamer15]

What I read was that she wasn't mad... Actually she said that she was working on other videogame (Beyond: Two souls), and the deal with Ellie's characther could be a problem to the company... I mean, that´s what I read on the internet

[@RaffoLAlternAttivatore]

I look forward the HD remake of Omikron - Nomad Soul!... If they will do it

[@cerealkiller026]

but that's the thing, It's not a movie, it's a game. and I believe that the animations, the branching narrative, the illumination and color pallet, the quality of the performance that the actors brought to the table make it so that this game deserves more than a 6/10. maybe you didn't like the story but that's a subjective argument. I personally loved it.

[@mobilemechanics6565]

Hideo K came up with the interactive movie thing reference is MGS3

[@runzwithscizzorz8098]

I think it's because the acting and voice acting is done, and all they're doing is finishing touches and adding details to the game

[@CallMeMitty]

hope there is another beyond two souls with ryans ending we still need jodie and aiden together

[@richardmosley1336]

Thing is, when Naughty Dog realized how much Ellie looked like Page, they changed her appearance a little to make her look more like her VA, but it seems they didn't changer her enough.

[@ShonaSaurus]

I do generally wait a long time for the prices to drop considerabley, but especially with popular games, friends and the internet tend to spoil it for me before I get round to playing :(

[@feihongwong1643]

I thought she was still in her teens. Then I looked her up on google and found that she is actually 26!!

[@gmatsue84]

I'll put it this way. It doesn't matter if the actor is arrogant, humble, smart, etc. What matters is his performance. Just like it doesn't a scientist's beliefs don't matter, what matters is his scientific production. So she can say what she wants as long as his acting in the game is still good

[@sephX22]

This feels like a Video game and a movie. Advancements in technology is creating new things everyday. If the was done on the PS3 then i can't wait for the PS4.

[@dmli1023]

Why do ppl keep comparing The Last of Us with Beyond Two Souls? The two games are not even alike! They are completely different and STOP IT! sooo annoying

[@Brookie9187]

It's a shame that it isn't on the PC to be honest but i'm still going to buy it because it looks really good!

[@yvngcrispy]

Well I haven't played (watched someone play) "The Last of us" so I cannot compare both games but in my opinion (!) Beyond Two souls is a outstandingly amazing game. I do not know if you played it through but the end is thrilling and besides the leaps in time (which were a bit weird at the beginning) the acting is also excellent. I could sympathize with every main character and the story was so detailed and wonderful. But if you want you can tell me what exactly bothered you about ellen/the game.

[@STEP6192]

This game should've been a tv series. It had less videogame components as Heavy Rain. But I'm happy that Ellen enjoyed the experience

[@ghostman559]

I want this game... Hope it come out for the ps4 next year

[@blademanx]

they usually model characters around real life people like The Getaway, Heavy Rain etc, Makes sense

[@coldfire0007]

i find it funny that they use cardboard and duct tape props with these highly sophisticated and expensive technology. i actually kind of admire it because of the artistic ability to act with down-to-earth stuff. it reminds me of the good old times as a kid when we would just use our imagination to play

[@traveler68646]

Looking real forward to this game. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think it's one of the first time we have really big A-list Hollywood actors in a game. This game is really intriguing.

Will there be "BEYOND: Three Souls" ?

[@TheEddiedz]

I'm blown away at the increased number of comments on anything that had to do with Ellen page even a 6 yr old trailer for Juno is seeing daily comments all cause of beyond wow. Btw 3rd play through for me almost platinum it. Most unforgettable game experience I'll ever have, thank you Ellen luv ya!

[@MDRSPACEGOAT]

Was this interview before she was involved with The Last Of Us? Was Beyond: Two Souls thought of before TLOU?

[@EeeScape]

She was mad? When? Is there an interview of this?

[@BigxxBang]

Wow, she's like a living doll. This game may have crossover success because of her involvement, the mainstream will pay more attention to it.

[@SmileyKyliKins]

Truly a beautifully made game! It's basically an interactive movie which makes it so special! David Cage is such a talented man. I loved this game so much!

[@DiverseLA]

I solved that problem by buying both a PS3 & Xbox 360. You can do the same. People seem to think you can only own one system.

[@alexchencreates]

It's true there was some resemblance, but Ellie was voiced by Ashley Johnson, not Ellen.

[@AStarInAndromeda]

It's funny because Ellie looked a lot more like Ellen earlier in the development process, they said that it was purely coincidental.

[@medontknowwhattosay]

She looks like Jodie. O.O

[@7Spetsnaz7]

Maybe because Jodie's face was scanned from Ellen Page's face. lol

[@felreizmeshinca7459]

No, Jodie looks like her.

[@jonnyvelocity]

He looks like Ellie from The Last of Us....

This game is going to be amazing and i cant wait till it comes out

[@zoopmitty]

ohhh another thing.... didn't see the surprise twist at the end with aiden... it ranks up there with block buster movie twist like the sixth sense n such... great game

[@robertbaur3145]

let us not fight over which is the "better game" Ellie and Jodie are both wonderful both games have great stories and amazing acting. We should all just agree that X box pales in comparison to these games

[@robertbaur3145]

***** The story itself was cliche but the end was something I did not expect. plus it was fun to play like addicting to play and Ellie succeeded as a character because of Ellen Page's persona. That is like one of the best compliments anyone can give her. It won like so many awards. I mean sure if you don't like last of us fine but it was not a bad game. And though of course I loved Ellen's game you do kind of have to admit its more of an interactive movie than a game. Its a story based game where you mostly move the character to do stuff and then it plays out in a sequence rather than actively moving the character within the environment. Its kind of hard to describe why it feels so different than say Tomb raider or the Last of Us. But it does not feel like any or much effort is even needed to finish the game. But again I'd buy the game of Ellen Page watching paint dry So I ironically am biased to say Beyond is a better game only because the real Ellen is in it. Still fun to play even if there is not much game play

[@johncmcham]

completely fine dude, keep on thinking that way

[@Theshockmaster5eva]
