Volgende week, 11 oktober om precies te zijn, verschijnt Beyond: Two Souls. Misschien wel de laatste grote knaller voor de PlayStation 3. De game is de spirituele opvolger van Heavy Rain en moet totaal iets anders gaan doen dan wat we van de meeste games gewend zijn. David Cage, de grote man achter de game, wil dan ook dat zoveel mogelijk mensen van zijn nieuwste game kunnen gaan genieten. Hierdoor is de game iets aangepast.
There are only two amends between the EU and US versions of the game, amounting to about 5-10 seconds of gameplay that’s not been removed, just edited slightly to be in line with a PEGI 16 rating.
For Beyond we wanted to make the game available to as many people as possible, hence applying for a PEGI 16 rating. The 5-10 seconds I mention above would have upped our rating to a PEGI 18, so it made perfect sense to make these two very minimal changes to get our planned 16 rating. I can assure you that this does not affect the game’s story at all, and that if you didn’t know these scenes had been amended, you wouldn’t even notice.
