Detroit : Become Human

THE WORLD OF DETROIT

Inspired by our short called “Kara” back in 2012, Detroit is a neo-noir thriller set in the near-future city of Detroit. Androids, who look exactly like human beings, have replaced humans in most tasks: they are workers, babysitters, gardeners, nurses, teachers, clerks. The story of Detroit starts with an unexplained incident that begins to affect the Androids. Some disappear without any explanation, others have unexpected behaviors and strangely show signs of emotions. The rumors of “deviant” androids start spreading, but no one seems to know what’s really happening…

CONNOR, THE DEVIANT HUNTER

After Kara, Connor is the second playable character we’re introducing.

Connor is an advanced prototype assigned to police forces to help them investigate cases involving deviants. He is cold and analytical; he thinks fast and benefits from some surprising advanced features. He is very determined and nothing matters more to him than accomplishing the mission he was programmed for.

In this new trailer, Connor is confronted with a tense hostage situation involving a deviant android holding a little girl and threatening to jump from a rooftop. Depending on your decisions and strategy, Connor will succeed or fail in saving the girl; survive or die. Your actions will lead to different outcomes and will have consequences far beyond this scene.

PLAY YOUR OWN STORY IN DETROIT

Detroit is based on concepts we created in our past games taken to another level (well, that’s the plan ;-)

Detroit is about playing the story. Through your actions and decisions you drive the story and face the consequences of your choices. You are in charge of the fate of these characters. You will become a “co-writer” who will have to make critical decisions that will impact the entire story and its world.

As you play as all of the characters, you’ll see the story from different perspectives. You will need to weigh each decision, as actions made by one character may have consequences on others. You will also need to avoid putting the characters at risk, because they can all die, and like in Heavy Rain, the story will continue without them.

Maybe reviewers are not happy with how poorly the game presents issues regarding slavery and domestic abuse.

That's would be understandable. There are a fair few ultra progressive people in media nowadays who demand a "safe zone" for everything, though. People who insist on dictating what other people can and cannot do. I simply can't stand such people.

I haven't played Detroit yet, but based on Cage's previous work which I did play, I have serious doubt about his storytelling abilities.

I personally like that there's an element of cheesiness to his games, regardless of whether or not they're intentional. His games give me the impression that his view on storytelling is still stuck in the 90s, which I find refreshingly positive. The majority of 90s movies did not have anywhere close to the same amount of polish that today's movies have, but they had far more charm, in my opinion. Back then, people didn't care as much about inconsistencies, or if the plot didn't always make complete sense. I suppose one could argue that it seems like David Cage takes himself a bit too seriously considering his actual competence, but I've enjoyed his previous games.
