Since being unveiled at E3 last year details on Beyond: Two Souls have been rather scarce.  Sony has shown the new game from Quantic Dream here and there, but we’ve been missing on key announcements such as the remaining cast and when the game would finally grace us with its presence. Now Sony has announced a key actor set to appear in Beyond as well as when we can finally pop it into our PlayStation 3.

One of the few surprises and highlights from E3 this year came in the form of Beyond, the new game from Quantic Dream.  The next game from the team that gave us Indigo Prophecy and Heavy Rain, Beyond ultimately got a lot of buzz not only for the lineage of the development team but because it stars none other than actress Ellen Page.

The point of any E3 conference is to impress those in attendance and those watching in the comfort of their own homes or in their dull grey office cubicles.  Going to E3 means that a company needs to put their best foot forward not only to impress the various subsets of gamers, but to also show their partners that they can bring the goods and maybe in some cases make their competitors feel utterly jealous.

Early last month gamers and the industry as a whole were treated to something that could change how we see and experience games in the coming years. I’m of course referring to the short film Kara in which Quantic Dream founder David Cage premiered at his GDC panel.  By now most of you out there have either heard of Kara or seen the stunning video so it’s obvious what sort of promise it has not only for Quantic Dream’s next project, which is still unannounced, but for the video game industry as a whole.

As early signs indicated, Quantic Dream’s David Cage took center stage at a GDC panel last week not only to discuss what drives emotion in games but to show such a thing in action.  Instead of merely talking his head off, I wouldn’t mind such a thing as I find Cage to be a fascinating game designer, Cage wowed the GDC audience and gamers in general thanks to the power that is the interweb with “Kara”, a short film showcasing the advances in motion capture and graphics fidelity Quantic Dream has made since releasing Heavy Rain in 2010.

Video games are a gateway for people to experience things they never will, either because it’s based in pure fantasy or because doing such a thing in real life would end in immediate death or jail time being issued.  For almost the entire history of video games we’ve been privy to playing the same type of scenarios, albeit in different settings and with different characters.

A rare moment of utter excitement has washed over me as Quantic Dream founder/co-CEO David Cage will be making a presentation at GDC 2012 showcasing the new technology powering the next project the studio is producing.  Best known for making the cinematic experiences that were Indigo Prophecy and Heavy Rain, Quantic Dream reportedly has two projects in the works, both of which are PlayStation exclusives due to the commercial and critical success Heavy Rain achieved in 2010.

After giving us Heavy Rain developer Quantic Dream gained a few new fans that along with the existing fanbase were greatly anticipating the next project the company would eventually release.  As always Quantic Dream and its founder/CEO David Cage remained tight-lipped on things but earlier this year we did receive a small update of sorts after two trademarks were registered (Infraworld and Fiv5).  At first there was a bit of skepticism as to whether these trademarks were in fact legi

This generation has been an extremely interesting one when it comes to developers improving the graphics and overall visual fidelity of their games.  Besides pushing out more polygons for character models, developers have been improving the core tech of what helps create the games like creating new motion capture  and animation techniques.  Back in the day motion capture was a fairly basic process that involved placing a few motion trackers on a performer and then using that movement to drive the game character.  But these days we have motion capture that records the mov
