Motion Capture Evolved to Performance Capture Beyond: Two Souls is created by French game developers, Quantic Dream. Along with their 2010 break out hit, Heavy Rain and other titles, Quantic Dream is also well-known as a provider of motion capture (Mo-Cap) services to the film and video game industries. In Beyond: Two Souls Quantic Dream combines their advanced motion capture techniques, with topnotch Hollywood quality acting talent, transforming motion capture -- long used in video games -- into something quite different - performance capture. The result is a superior storytelling and one of the best looking games yet developed for PS3. Couple this with clever gameplay in which players control both Jodie Holms and the entity that is her constant companion across several years of her life, and you have an innovative video games experience not to be missed.
