Willem Dafoe joins Beyond: Two Souls

Willem Dafoe, one of my favorite actors due to his ability to appear absolutely insane on camera, has been announced as yet another high profile celebrity to star in Quantic Dream’s Beyond: Two Souls. The man with the golden grin will be playing Jodie’s friend and father figure, Nathan Dawkins.

While flaunting Hollywood stars and polygon counts seems to be too big of a focus for this game, I admit to be at least a bit more interested in the game due to Dafoe’s presence. The story premise had already caught my interest, but Heavy Rain didn’t give me much confidence in the studio’s story telling chops. Hopefully Beyond: Two Souls will surprise me with a well formed story to accompany its two likeable stars. Check out the video below that shows Dafoe and Page acting out their scenes. Don’t expect any gameplay, because…well, emotions.

    This is not horror?

      We cover both survival horror and horror themed games, as you can see from the front page. We’ve also increased covered of indie survival horror, so if horror themed content is not for you, you still have a large selection of things that are.

      We’ve decided to cover Beyond because it is a supernatural thriller with serious and dark themes, making it look to contain many themes that we see fit. Like I said earlier, if it’s not for you, there’s a lot here that should be. Thanks.
