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!!!
***** 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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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!
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!
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..
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
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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
***** 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
1) David Cage looks like Dave Attell and Louis CK had a son. 2) this game looks incredible. 3) Ellen Page is consistently proving how talented she is. This is no exception. I'm getting this game.
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
i will never forget my bts experience, ty ellen page for your work. please make a guitar tutorial about your version of lost cause ^^ i cryed the shit out of me T_T
I can't wait for this game. Should be incredible. David Cage is a genius. Fahrenheit and heavy rain are the best games I've ever played. Just hurry up and release it!
David Cage is amazing. I'm a big fan of film and games and it's the most amazing thing to see this man combine the two so well. I really hope other writers/directors start to take notice of what he's doing and are inspired to do the same. This could be the start of a whole new genre in gaming.
i said this before and i'll say it again. this is what i love about playstation, we get a wide, diverse variety of games from different genres and original, creative new ip's. not just the same shoot' em up shooters or rehashed and recycled ip's all the time
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.
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
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.
David Cage has so much charisma. Don't know if it's his accent or not, but something makes me really like this guy. He makes the best games anyone could play. A Playstation Legend.
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.
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
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
David Cage is one of the most fascinating artists of our time. He produces genius-level work and so much in his time... Art and video games, two in one... Wow.
yeah, i just said that because people compared her to a hollywood actress lol, She only did look like ellen page in the first debut trailer, not anymore but yeah, ellie is ellie and sounds like her voice actress. well... because ashley johnson is her voice actress
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 :(
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.
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.
I do have a ps3. What im saying is that you don't need 2 consoles to be a gamer. And the reason I don't have an Xbox is because i don't want to buy another console for the sole purpose of playing exclusives, it would just give me a hard decision on which console will i buy the non-exclusives for. Most of my friends play on the PS3, but there is less lag on Xbox. Oh and I dont want to pay for a membership every month.
It was supposed to be more developed, so yes, improvements do matter, if you have a sequel to a movie, that movie has to beat it by improvement. And I certainly did not notice any improvement in graphics. Whatever, you're not really stating valid reasons, I'm not gonna argue, with whatever game will win, I'm cool with it.
ok its obvious the game is gonna be good, but the thing that im stuck on is whether or not the game is gonna be long like a GTA or a good but short game like Batman.
Sold my 360 for reasons like this... To all that call out the Xbox for being just a typical fanboy console for the simplistic shooter series, I agree with you. Thank you because it's true, in a way I see more...sophistication with the PS3. I had a 360 for so long and decided to trade it for a PS3 after seeing how the 360 breed is just for the "modern day" so called gamers...you know, the one's who say that Halo or the COD series or Gears, or Battlefield or ANY of your run of the mill shooters..
best game ever imo.. you have to get your mindset that this is not another FPS or heavy action like god of war or any of those type of games. this is a whole another type of game in it self... i play all types of games be it God of war - my all time fav to little big planet and everything in between. For the type of game it is i'm glad i had the chance to experience this game. i know it wasn't the first of its kind but loved heavy rain and this game blew me away with its story.
Oh, I meant screw what she says/thinks, we are interested in her performance. I don't follow her career to confirm what you said, I've only watched two movies that she was in: X Men 2 and Inception. She had a minor role in X Men and was well played and she was great in Inception so I can't complain
Games like this are a niche for the PS3 as multiple devs have said its the more mature platform for adults. That explains the more creative content not rehashes
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!!!

***** Unsuccesful troll attempt is unsuccesful.
wow chill , best actress of our time?
You posted this comment 7 years ago, I wonder what happened to you
For some people, it's :
1. The Last of Us
2. Beyond : Two Souls
She is so adorable.
Oof
Is a he now
She really was beautiful I used to have a crush on her
Beyond: Two Souls was the most beautiful and amazing game I have ever played.
I agree, it's a very underrated game.
I preferred her in The Last of us ;)...even if it was not her. lol
love both of them Ellen and her adorable twin Ellie made me a die hard Sony fan boy for life
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.

When i first heard the title, I thought it was a sequel to Beyond: Good and Evil.
I LOVE ELLEN PAGE
We all do. She's like a blackhole, when you see her it's no turning back.
@@danielthunberg9248 🤔....... 😱
Considering the creepy stuff Cage was responsible for during Beyond: Two Souls' development, this interview did not age well at all.
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.
Every developers should use this technology to bring there characters to life.
That's debatable
THE HYPEST GAMEPLAY ON RUclips!
I love her in "The last of us" game.
Nice troll ^
Cage and Page are the rage and smell of sage
Ellen Page, David Cage, Rage Gauge.
David Cage is a great person in personality... he is very pleasant in meeting people.... even tho his schedule is busy he still meets his fans.
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
All of those major characters look like their real actors... holy cow... I checked the imdb page, and the resemblances are striking!
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
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. :)
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.

She knows when to choose to be in such perfect roles!
I want that poster in the background so much
Motion Capture acting is the best kind of acting. Just pure acting, all imagination. That's when actors truly shine.
i love the way she was saying thanks at the end!
I already can't wait to see what they are going to do next.
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!

Game was bad, but Ellen rocked her character.

1 Dislike? I want to meet this person.. clearly the life of the party.
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.
Anyone still here?
Code yep 😊
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.
Yes, she plays Juno MacGriff. Michael Cera plays Paulie Bleeker in Juno.
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!
We don't only have great graphics, we have awesome mods, programs, great exclusives, etc.
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

I'm getting this game.
I remember just before this game came out, people were doubting it. Now everyone has seen the light
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
I love that video games are moving towards a much higher form of art. Thanks so much Ellen for being involved in this :)
Its somewhere on reddit. Im sure you can find it linked or referenced somewhere. People blew it out of proportion though.
i will never forget my bts experience, ty ellen page for your work. please make a guitar tutorial about your version of lost cause ^^ i cryed the shit out of me T_T
I can't wait for this game. Should be incredible. David Cage is a genius. Fahrenheit and heavy rain are the best games I've ever played. Just hurry up and release it!
David Cage is amazing. I'm a big fan of film and games and it's the most amazing thing to see this man combine the two so well. I really hope other writers/directors start to take notice of what he's doing and are inspired to do the same. This could be the start of a whole new genre in gaming.
No wonder what happened to her after being forced to work on a project with David Cage.
can somebody please tell me when is the release date ?
or at least the expected release date
i said this before and i'll say it again. this is what i love about playstation, we get a wide, diverse variety of games from different genres and original, creative new ip's. not just the same shoot' em up shooters or rehashed and recycled ip's all the time
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.
It's crazy to see how much work is made in a video game. We usually take it for granted
the little girl you claim her to be is doing such an awesome job
i can't wait to play this. i know it's going to be a truly unique adventure.
Thats really interesting you say that, Im curious what ending you got. For me I felt really satisfied and glad Jody got on with her life.
@playstation I have had a number of hackers in games of cod mw2 and 3 is there anything u can do to stop this or is it up to cod makers?
I can't wait for this coming out!(:
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
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

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.
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.
David Cage has so much charisma. Don't know if it's his accent or not, but something makes me really like this guy. He makes the best games anyone could play. A Playstation Legend.
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.
Ellen is from my city! Hell yes nice to see one of our own get succsess like this.
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
Heavy Rain was fantastic so I cannot wait for this game! This and Last of Us will make 2013 an amazing year to be a Playstation gamer!
She looks like Jodie. O.O
Maybe because Jodie's face was scanned from Ellen Page's face. lol
No, Jodie looks like her.
He looks like Ellie from The Last of Us....
I look forward the HD remake of Omikron - Nomad Soul!... If they will do it
No, they were seen hangin out together but not dating.
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.
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
They did a fantastic job with this game, it's my favorite game of 2013
I love how he still got 21 thumbs up :D
David Cage is one of the most fascinating artists of our time. He produces genius-level work and so much in his time... Art and video games, two in one... Wow.
He still is man
yeah, i just said that because people compared her to a hollywood actress lol, She only did look like ellen page in the first debut trailer, not anymore but yeah, ellie is ellie and sounds like her voice actress. well... because ashley johnson is her voice actress
I have to COMPLETELY agree, although not with the placement of your top three.
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 :(
hope there is another beyond two souls with ryans ending we still need jodie and aiden together
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
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!
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.
William dafoe
It's true there was some resemblance, but Ellie was voiced by Ashley Johnson, not Ellen.
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.
I do have a ps3. What im saying is that you don't need 2 consoles to be a gamer. And the reason I don't have an Xbox is because i don't want to buy another console for the sole purpose of playing exclusives, it would just give me a hard decision on which console will i buy the non-exclusives for. Most of my friends play on the PS3, but there is less lag on Xbox. Oh and I dont want to pay for a membership every month.
It was supposed to be more developed, so yes, improvements do matter, if you have a sequel to a movie, that movie has to beat it by improvement.
And I certainly did not notice any improvement in graphics.
Whatever, you're not really stating valid reasons, I'm not gonna argue, with whatever game will win, I'm cool with it.
I would LOVE to see Zooey Deschanel in their next game.
I adore her with all my heart
they usually model characters around real life people like The Getaway, Heavy Rain etc, Makes sense
ok its obvious the game is gonna be good, but the thing that im stuck on is whether or not the game is gonna be long like a GTA or a good but short game like Batman.
Yeah, it's mostly indie games on PC, but they're amazing. You ever hear of Amnesia? That's just one example.
Sold my 360 for reasons like this...
To all that call out the Xbox for being just a typical fanboy console for the simplistic shooter series, I agree with you. Thank you because it's true, in a way I see more...sophistication with the PS3. I had a 360 for so long and decided to trade it for a PS3 after seeing how the 360 breed is just for the "modern day" so called gamers...you know, the one's who say that Halo or the COD series or Gears, or Battlefield or ANY of your run of the mill shooters..
best game ever imo.. you have to get your mindset that this is not another FPS or heavy action like god of war or any of those type of games. this is a whole another type of game in it self... i play all types of games be it God of war - my all time fav to little big planet and everything in between. For the type of game it is i'm glad i had the chance to experience this game. i know it wasn't the first of its kind but loved heavy rain and this game blew me away with its story.
It's funny because Ellie looked a lot more like Ellen earlier in the development process, they said that it was purely coincidental.
I want this game... Hope it come out for the ps4 next year
when will it be released ??
This will be some amazing game, worth every penny... this is another reason I will go with PS3 as my next console, just because of titles like these!
completely fine dude, keep on thinking that way
Oh, I meant screw what she says/thinks, we are interested in her performance.
I don't follow her career to confirm what you said, I've only watched two movies that she was in: X Men 2 and Inception. She had a minor role in X Men and was well played and she was great in Inception so I can't complain
Games like this are a niche for the PS3 as multiple devs have said its the more mature platform for adults. That explains the more creative content not rehashes
Couldn't have said it better myself....
I love this game, its something different. Hell... i bought my ps3 for heavy rain back in the days.
