David Cage has confirmed Beyond: Two Souls is approaching its beta and will receive a release date soon.
”Beyond is almost in beta. It will come out this year and the release date will be announced soon,” he told IGN.The Quantic Dreams writer, who is penning the long-awaited follow up to Heavy Rain, also commented on the rumours that the PS4 console will block pre-owned games.
“On one hand, I understand consumer’s position. Games are expensive. When they buy something they want to be able to trade it, most of the time to buy more games. I can understand that point.”
“On the other side, I understand the point of the industry. Each time you buy a used game, this is money that doesn’t go into the pocket of the people that took the risk to create this, to finance it, to develop it. This is also unfair.”
Cage suggested he isn’t the right man to solve such a conundrum.
”So I don’t know what is the right answer. I don’t know if making this impossible (to play used games) is the answer. Maybe it is, maybe it’s not. Maybe it’s more about explaining and about telling people who really love games that if they buy used games, there will be a day where there won’t be any new games at all.”
