Oh, okay. In that case, let's move on. Has anyone seen the latest trailer for Beyond?

I just can't get behind David Cage's "Interactive Movies" anymore. From what I seen this is just Heavy Rain with a couple of new mechanics.

Same here. They're just not entertaining. All they are are hundreds of QTE's, which is a gaming trope I already hate. Replacing gameplay with QTE's frustrates me. The story of Heavy Rain was ok, if you ignore the plotholes, so I doubt this will be any better.

What makes me more butthurt about this type of gameplay comes from Cage's previous game Indigo Prophecy. Where the main gimmick of, "Your decisions affect the game." falls apart at the halfway point and the game doesn't care what you do and gives 1 of three really dumb endings.
