To quote: Last week at the PlayStation's E3 Press Conference, one of the highlights of the night was Quantic Dream's David Cage stepping into the stage finally reveal his team's next masterpiece.

BEYOND: Two Souls for the PS3 impressed the crowd with its extremely detailed graphics and convincing performances of motion actors, including Hollywood talent Ellen Page.

The future is now, you guys.





Once you've watched the video feature, let us know what you think in the comments! And as a reminder: Kara is absolutely, positively not Quantic Dream's next game.
