Detroit: Become Human (Quantic Dream) Announced for PS4

David Cage announces all the questions posed and the main scenario from Human Revolution. Just far clunkier and with more plot holes.
 
Excited that Cage has 2 American co-writers on this and a co-director as well. Gonna be so much better with him being kept in check.

Source? If so that would be great news. The further away he is from it the better. Even then the concept doesn't jump out to me.
 
Game looks visually incredible and has some impressive mo-cap. You can tell there's a lot of talent at the studio.

A shame David Cage's garbage writing and storytelling will ruin the game though. Every Quantum Dream game devolves into complete nonsense apart from maybe Heavy Rain. He really needs an editor or two, or just someone to tell him when to stop.

Yeah I feel bad for the guys at QD that have to work under Cage. They're obviously super talented but they're shackled by Cage's idiocy. Id feel safer giving a six year a bunch of crayons to scribble out a story, it would be more coherent than anything Cage has delivered.

Oh look its Shelby from Heavy Rain! ;)
 
They had to try pretty fucking hard to come up with a worse title than Beyond: Two Souls.

I like Omikron: The Nomad Soul, Fahrenheit or Indigo Prophecy, and Heavy Rain all as titles, but not these last two.
 
The Dark Sorcerer does proverbially shit all over this video though. In every possible way. This looks more like an upgraded Beyond compared to that.
Not going to disagree on that. Especially the lightning seems much better in the wizard demo.

Well we can hope the new writers they brought on board will fix that issue to some degree.
I hope so. I think Cage stories usually start off good and then kind of lose themselves.
 
They turned Kara into a full game! Holy shit yes!!!! This is exactly what I wanted from Quantic Dream. Now change the name to Detroit vs Everybody and we are all good.
 
I'm glad we live in a world where we make our minds up about something we have yet to actually see.

We have seen a lot of David Cage games, though.

Anyway, compliments are allowed, critics are not? Cause i don't see you quoting people that really liked the trailer/concept/etc.
 
Whoa bro I really didn't like their last game but what about the dialogue was so bad? Nothing really jumped out at me.



That would be a great match.

The whole last part. I audibly groaned and grimaced.

*Turns round to face camera*
"My name is Kara, I am one of them. This is our story"
*Turns and walks away*
 
I'm on maximum hype level. Of course there are people here badmouthing the game after pretty much a perfect trailer. UGH
 
what exactly was awful and cringeworthy? I mean it's something I'd expect and Andriod wanting to become human to say.

Sweeping strings combined with excessive emphasis on textbook descriptive terms for feelings and emotions ranging from extreme positives to extreme negatives to accentuate the protagonist's state of mind and commentary on the state of the setting.

Android-existentialist-crisis is one of the oldest, well trodden tropes of science fiction and this trailer presented an extremely familiar concept with nothing that stood out as an original or intriguing angle or take to differentiate it from the norm, given what other work has already done and better for the last few decades, in addition to about as much grace and subtle use of the English language to present said concepts as a hammer to the face.

I have a stick up my arse about Quantic Dream/David Cage because I firmly believe his dialogue is consistently terrible and his stories consistently awful. It's like watching/playing a narrative written by a person who doesn't understand how people naturally communicate, nor the deeper nuances of themes and how to explore them, in an experience that has no self awareness of what it's achieving and failing or how it presents itself.

And while brief and obviously light on content, the debut trailer for Detroit: Become Human (sic) simply drilled in that cringe worthy script writing him and his team are known for. Beyond the technical accomplishments of QD titles, I feel they're all mostly turds both as narratives and choice driven narrative video games, where glimmers of original ideas and cool concepts are crushed under laughably unnatural characters and script.

Until Dawn was kitchy and stupid but so self aware and fun in its writing that it just enforced my belief other developers are doing the Quantic Dream/David Cage thing far better than them/him despite the latter receiving more attention.
 
Source? If so that would be great news. The further away he is from it the better. Even then the concept doesn't jump out to me.
Cage is now joined by two other writers in script writing Quantic Dream's PS4 game in development. The results are "very positive" Fondaumière said

The dialogue wasn't bad. "Quantic Dream games have awful narrative and dialogue" is mostly a meme. People say it, others repeat it, nobody can even explain it.
 
Signs of shit-tier writing already.

But it'll be worth it for the highlights - like all their games. Totally worth it.

The dialogue wasn't bad. "Quantic Dream games have awful narrative and dialogue" is mostly a meme. People say it, others repeat it, nobody can even explain it.

IIRC the dialogue in IP and HR were good, it was just the voice acting which was off-key. Because they used mainly French actors, for whatever reason.

When I say writing above I'm talking about the whole thing as a cohesive entity. The games are rarely cohesive. Heavy Rain was, arguably flawed twist aside. That's my favourite.

Imagine, a Kojima fanboy saying this

Haha, can't deny that, though.
 
Yeah no.

She looks bad. The actress is gorgeous so if the character looks bad they just fucked it up.

Maybe she has better skin texture, it still doesn't look right in the eyes and overall likeness which is where it matters the most.
I've started playing UD yesterday. Even on the title screen of Until Dawn, her character doesn't look as good and doesn't animate as good as what QD has made here. I agree, they got Hayden's likeness right, but I don't particularly care about how much a game character looks like its actor. I was thinking more along the lines of which looks better in motion if I ignore who they're based on.
