Detroit: Become Human - new David Cage game
- Thread starter Venser
- Start date
I played Heavy Rain and Beyond Two Souls and watched on Youtube Detroit.
It is not saying much considering how low David Cage has set the bar with the previous games, but I believe this is his best game yet (Nomad Soul was actually terrible). The story was a bit less cringe inducing than the rest of his games ; the scale of the events happening in his game make it somehow more in phase with his pretentious storytelling. I can not say I recommend to buy it, but if you can get it for cheap or have a youtuber you like who did that game, it could be interesting to watch.

I can't stand people watching let's plays instead of playing games. Sure you can make an argument that these cinematic games lack in the gameplay but one of their strong points is making your own decisions and changing the story. I do like the existence of let's play videos because I can use them as demos and just by watching someone else play it, I can get a fairly accurate idea if I'm gonna like the game or not. Or sometimes I wanna see people's reaction to some really cool moment in the game AFTER I beat it. But watching let's plays instead of playing games is fucking retarded.

I wonder if this has anything to do with Sony trying to distance itself from QD after this whole "Toxic masculinity" debacle? Or are they still collaborating on another PS exclusive?

Model rips when?
David Cage will be bringing steamy emotions to Steam soon.
Demos are already available.

I wonder what the controls are like, can't imagine they will work as well on PC as they did on the Playstation. Especially without the feedback.

Is heavy rain decent? Because the other two are overdramatized shit. Indigo Children was fun back in the day,

It's funny, but it's also super melodramatic and stuff at points, more like Indigo Prophecy than Detroit and Beyond tho. The biggest difference is that it doesn't go batshit crazy in the last act, even if Cage planned that originally, instead it's more restrained, you're not suddenly playing a super weird Matrix ripoff with ancients cults, AIs, aliens, zombies and stuff. If you liked Indigo you should try it out!

I will admit, the glowing blue circle on the forehead to identify robots from humans is a pretty cool design idea.
Aside from that, it seems like just another shitty David Cage ego-fest. Oh look, androids have feelings too. Why? Where does their true consciousness come from? Is my laptop conscious? Is everything conscious? Is nothing conscious? Where's the line between inanimate objects and conscious beings?
Well, the androids are designed to look and act like humans so they must have feelings like humans do. Don't question it, bigot!!
same shit as westworld, star trek, and every sci fi show with AI. There's no sci in this fi, nor any coherent philosophy or even basic logic.
At least Isaac Azimov invented the "positronic brain" scienmagific macguffin and moved on from that to exploring the various scenarios of his laws of robotics. Suspension of disbelief is only possible when the author seems to be aware of the fictional nature of his fictional premise, and wraps it into something identifiable.

Nonstop comedy, very funny game.

Controls are shitty QTE nonsense, doubt it matters. Either way though it's far from the first PC game to recommend a pad.
All his games looked like pretentious trash, but I havnt bothered playing them so maybe they are AMAZING.
I played Detroit's demo and man was I wrong, the controls are horrible. The QTE shit is mostly the same, but the WASD walking is totally fucked up. Luckily I don't care because it verified my hatred for this genre. Character says shit I never meant to say, gameplay is random buttons, tone is super preachy. I've also never been one for the whole "androids as allegory for racism" thing because they're fucking machines, I can't get past that. Anyway... game looks fucking amazing though. I'd watch a movie with those graphics, not joking. Too bad they make you "play" it.

Yes! The best parts are the ones that are unintentionally hilarious. But there's also parts that are unironically pretty cool, like some of the investigative stuff, some of the more exciting sequences like when you are chased and that torture porn. Unlike Detroit it is also not very preachy or anything, way less unfunny cringe. Best Cage game by far!
Aha, I knew it! These games demand controllers with motion sense thingies, thumbsticks and vibrating feedback because that's what they were made for. Without it you're just stuck with Simon says and QTE stuff and that's not nearly as engaging and I just knew the movement was going to be weird, that too was designed purely for controllers!
I like how they present the ability to choose your resolution as a "feature", lol
anyway, really enjoyed supergreatfriend's recent LP of Become Human, it was incredibly entertaining. The game itself is utter shit, obviously. I hope SGF LP's Beyond 2 Souls someday, it's easily the most unintentionally-funny one.
It has a gameover scene with the spunky tomboy journalist getting her coochie drilled with an actual drill.
