- Quantic Dream founder David Cage says Beyond: Two Souls will have no Game Over screen. Cage believes that, while the GO screen has a place in action games, “in a story-driven experience it doesn’t make any sense.” Instead, players will have to live with the consequences of their failure – even after death, stating “one of the big mysteries in the game is to discover what’s on the other side. And it’s definitely not a black screen.” We’ll have to wait until the games release October 6 to find out more.
