Detroit: Become Human |OT| Like Tears in Heavy Rain

MadeULook · May 25, 2018

I succeeded in getting the information out of the deviant but things went south the moment he decided to start banging his head into the table. I choose the intervene option to try and help the officer and a second later Conner is shot in the head and the android kills himself. Took me by complete surprise since I wasn't expecting a death so soon and so sudden.

That's all I'm going to play tonight though. Really digging the game so far and hope it can keep it up.

Spoilers for first mission:

I just did the first mission and Connor dies, does this have any ramifications for the rest of the game? It's not like i'm missing out on a bunch of content?

And is there like any timers in this game? Especially concerning the first mission, i kinda wanna take my time and look around the apartment but it does seem like i'm in a rush because of the hostage situation. But can i just walk around the apartment and pick up clues without worrying about the hostage suddenly being dead?

Connor can die even earlier than that, remember the hostage scene ;)

I know about that one since I played the demo. It's just the death came so suddenly in the Interrogation scene I had to take a second to register what just happend.

Btw everyone. You think other devs put so much things into their games most players will never see!? Lol get ready for Quantic Dream. I swear to god I just spend 20 minutes on a busy plaza, which is an area that appears only once. Your objective is literally to walk across it and do something and there is no reason to stop. But oh boi if you do. It just never stops. There was no loop, no repeating NPC animation AT ALL for 20 minutes straight. Like wtf. Literally after 15 minutes a truck arrived and started unpacking things. I assume only 0.1% of players will ever see that. But it's there. All voiced with unique dialogue lmao.

They are crazy and I love it so much

I was on the edge of picking this up but your post pushed me over. Grabbing it tomorrow. Ty!!!

I spent a good amount of time in the plaza too. The attention to detail and efforts they took to make the city feel alive is crazy.

Are there any "hold several buttons at once" like Heavy Rain?

Gonna pick this up next month, all those impressions are selling me

I'm a few chapters into the game and can safely say yeah, there is.

I want Quantic Dream to remake Hatoful Boyfriend now.

Played through the first 3 hours this evening and it's everything I hoped it would be. The time flew by and I'm sure I'll crush this over the weekend.

Yes but if that bothers you there's a casual mode with easier controls

Is there any information when soundtrack will be released? I pre-ordered physical copy so I don't have digital OST.

There is no physical OST as far as I know, even the Japanese Premium Edition comes with the digital OST. I hope they release it, it's 4 CDs but I have zero hopes.

why not?
i bought the Beyond Two Souls soundtrack last year,it was released on CD.

TheModestGun · May 25, 2018

Put about 4 hours in tonight. All I can say is DAMN! There's already some interesting paths that I have to wonder how they diverged. So far, the acting and writing is pretty damn good, maybe a bit hammy in small sections, but honestly in the good kind of way.

This is infinitely better than Beyond Two Souls and for sure a step above Heavy Rain. (So far)

Today's newspaper:

Westworld doesn't have commercial, it would be good spot for TV commercial

Hadok · May 25, 2018

oh i need one.Probably in my train station.
Cool marketing.

Hadok · May 25, 2018

the sound design is so good in the game.
Playing with earphones is so great.

It's sad to think that some players will no pay attention to a lot of details :(.
Take your time ! watch everyting,listen to everything !(and read everything :p )

edit: oh and the cool thing is that sometimes,it's not really good to do all of the dialogue option.You have to choose carefully.

Deleted member 43077 · May 25, 2018

So Conner

Just got hit with a car when chasing Kara over the highway but I got no skull in the timeline so im gonna push on because I definitely dont want to continue without him. It was super cool playing both of the characters pretty much at the same time and actions you did as conner could affect Kara and her story.

You have some time, but irrc the longer you wait the more severe the situation can get outside. Characters dying have ramifications. You miss the rest of their storyline. But you will miss content anyway, as the story branches and you can't see every branch in one playtrough (not even in two or three). Just play on, take your losses and enjoy your unique story. Afterwards you can replay every scene to see other outcomes.

I also wouldn't fret to much about Connor dying in the first mission ;-)

He was neutral when it happend. I do wonder if the scene changes if he likes you though.

Gemeanie · May 25, 2018

Sigh I really dislike those QTEs that needs you to tilt the controller, and also wish there's a clearer prompt to press and holding buttons.

I failed so many QTEs in Kara's chapter when

she was attacked by Todd and ended up simply running away with Alice without pausing to explore all other possibilities because she didn't look like she could take another few more blows. Hope there's an ending for killing Todd when I come back for 2nd playthrough.

Deleted member 43077 · May 25, 2018

I gotta say the chase bits are awesome

Donthizz · May 25, 2018

So many choices for Kara.just can't make up my mind

Deleted member 43077 · May 25, 2018

Really like it so far people were making it out to probably have bad writing and shit but I have been enjoying it a lot. Will definitely play some more tomorrow (after more Sea of Thieves of course)

This is fascinating because nothing like what you've described occurred in my playthrough.

leng jai · May 25, 2018

This is the best looking PS4 game quite clearly if you're simply judging by what you're actually seeing. There's no major flaw in the visuals, it's remarkably consistent across the board.

How much is playable after the initial 11GB install?

Everything for me.

Chaserjoey said:
See, before release I theorised that

his consciousness would be downloaded to a new body if he were to die, but everyone kept saying once a character in the game dies, Connor included, then they're done for completely. Glad to see I was right all along.

This is not true for Kara ;)

Are the clues in later reconstructions less obvious than in the demo?

It becomes so much you probably miss stuff unless you pay close attention

And is there like any timers in this game?

High urgent situations yes. Otherwise nah

MadeULook said:

He liked me and it was different yes.

No death. Hank pulled his gun too and defused the situation

What happens after the interrogation is also different depending on how you do the interrogation. It's a tiny chapter but so many possible outcomes. It's really impressive.

Carpathia · May 25, 2018

Got the game in my hands and the rest of the day to play :D

gadwin · May 25, 2018

Played the three first scenes yesterday, love it so far, the graphics is incredible. Failed the hostage part pretty bad haha.

Also the facial animations of the Android were like photorealistic a few times. Especially the lips looked so convincing

Yeah apparently

he actually did die. Hank ( I think thats the partners name) to his surprise and my relief asks what the hell happened he saw Conner get destroyed by a truck and replies saying that altho that machine was destroyed they recovered his memory and gave him a new body.

FIREKNIGHT2029 · May 25, 2018

As a huge Blade Runner fan I'm really enjoying this game. I've put in almost 2 hours into the game since I bought it at midnight from the PS Store, I'm looking forward to spending more time on it this weekend.

Zips · May 25, 2018

I've not been a big fan of David Cage games but I'm kind of digging this game so far. It's interesting to see how your choices have lined up with the rest of the world.

Decided to call it a night when I got up to the

Jericho

chapter.

TheBeardedOne · May 25, 2018

Looking forward to trying it, but I'll probably crash when I get home since I'm running on less than 3 hours of sleep and an energy drink and have been up all night. May try an all nighter with it tomorrow night though.

Chaserjoey · May 25, 2018

dragonbane said:

I mean, I figured that but

people kept telling me that there would be absolutely no way for Connor to come back after I theorised that he might be revived in a new body if you failed the hostage situation

so it's nice to know I was on the right path with my thinking.

Dog · May 25, 2018

Loved my time with it yesterday, can't wait to dive back in this morning.

Is the casual mode punishing in any way? B2S had the Aiden fixed movement nodes (couldn't fly around freely) for example. We're playing this as a group of 3, with one player who is no gamer and struggled with e.g. the timed prompts in Until Dawn.

Don't worry, you won't lose Conner that way, but be careful about other characters if you wish to continue their story to the end.

I think it just makes the button prompts easier by have one button do the thing but i havent tried it for myself

Gemeanie · May 25, 2018

His emotional breakthrough scene feels so out of nowhere compared to Kara's which was initiated by the urge to protect Alice. Took only a painting to get him from being okay attacked by the protestors on the street to screaming unfair because his kind owner didn't allow him to self defense?

Didn't Connor say androids feel no pain anyway?

Regardless I'm having a blast with the game so far. So many scenes left me eager to do a rerun for different outcomes.

LuisGarcia · May 25, 2018

Not sure how to play this. Are you guys doing different scenarios as you go along or iust doing a full playthrough and then going back to see other outcomes?
