Beyond: Two Souls (http://www.joystiq.com/game/beyond-two-souls) features two-player, co-op multiplayer, with one person controlling Jodi Holmes, the main protagonist, and the other controlling of Aiden, the ghost entity tethered to her entire existence. Players pass control of the single screen back and forth by pressing triangle. Yes, press triangle to Jodi.
In multiplayer or solo, Beyond is playable with iOS and Android touchscreen devices, with the "Beyond Touch" app. It's a free app that allows players to control a character – it's a blank slate, with no buttons or on-screen sticks, that players use like a touchpad. Slide one finger around the screen and the character moves. The game automatically switches to easy mode when a touchscreen controller is in use.
Creator David Cage said the touchscreen feature is an attempt to reel in casual players or those who don't play games often. Most people are comfortable with a smartphone, he argued. However, avid players will want to use the DualShock controller, Cage said.
