Detroit: Become Human has sold through over 2 million copies worldwide (also fastest selling QD game)
- Thread starter Macca
- Start date
I'm trying to remember if there were any really awkward parts to play in front of parents. Parts of the android strip club I suppose?
Can't wait to dive in this game on Xmas morning. I already bought the game, but I am holding to play it until then
I just ran across Bryan Dechart's youtube channel and there goes my day. https://www.youtube.com/user/bryanpdechart/playlists
Thanks for sharing, that's really cool. The zip file from his tweet also includes a Marcus Android variant and the Japanese cover.
And congrats to QD, glad to hear their best game yet is also selling well.
Nice, I'm really glad it's selling decent. The game is really good and better than reviews would let you believe imo.
I actually love the reverse cover which is just the three protagonists, nothing else, no text or logos.
I'm so happy for them. Had good time drawing fanarts for this game. Helped me with my depression lol
These were all soooooo great. Thanks for sharing them in the fan art thread.
He definitely can make good interactive, cinematic experiences. Time to evolve that shit and add more gameplay for their next game – just build upon Nomad Soul.
Well deserved. It's my 2nd favourite game this year after AC Odyssey. The way the game does consequences is unlike absolutely anything out there in the market and I've played a lot of these games.
I absolutely LOVED Conner and Hank. Both Bryan Dechart and Clancy Brown are great actors. Kara was good too and Marcus was overall ok. Infact they all acted well.
Btw Bryan Dechart frequently streams on Twitch with his wife (who's in the game too as the Traci model android). Currently he's playing God of War but he plays Detroit now and then.

Congrats to them. I still need to really dive deep into it but I loved Heavy Rain and Beyond and picked this up when it was on sale for like $30 digitally a month or so back.

Ahhh this is so lovely, great job!!!! Thank you for sharing!I'm so happy for them. Had good time drawing fanarts for this game. Helped me with my depression lol
I think there is a big possibility of a Connor stand alone game. Bryan Dechart is really popular right now. Everyone loves him!
They should definitely make something, be it stand-alone or DLC.
This thread reminded me that I still haven't played this great looking game, only because I haven't had time to squeeze it in between other games. I took a look at my favorite local online shop and they had it on sale for €25, so with some store points I had I got a physical copy for €18, should arrive in the mail shortly.
Terrific game and my first cage game. Does Heavy Rain still hold up today? Anything in that game where I might be like "well if you didnt like x in Detroit, you'll hate y" kind of comparisons?

Well the Connor sections have a bit of a predecessor in Heavy Rain.
Production values on Detroit are quite outstanding, far higher than the 78 on Meta would have you believe perhaps (it plays more like a 88+ game tbh), so enjoy!
Gotta love how people still try to downplay the sales. Amazing.
Congrats to QD and hopefully there's more to come like this when it comes to Playstation exclusives. Not among one of my favorite games of the year, but I had a great time with it.

I really enjoyed Detroit, Cage's best game. I am happy it's selling the fastest for them. That said I don't understand how this is that profitable. After retail fees and sales that's like what $90 million revenue if that? This game was in development for over 4 years, it's not just how much money it took to make but the amount of time spent by one studio for one product.
Compare that to a movie, two and a half years for a big movie, much less for most, any decent sized movie can make $100 million worldwide easy. A studio can have like 3-4 movies going, if one bombs another is right behind it.
It just seems way inefficient compared to the movie industry.

It depends of the number of people working on it and the average cost per people. Develop a game in France is much cheaper than in US, production cost were only 30 millions euros(37 millions dollars) without marketing. And the peak number of people is 180 peoples for Detroit.
Edit: All Quantic Dreams games were profitable, I am sure this one will be too.
It is their best game, so you should have a blast. It combines HR's and Beyond's strength into one package pretty much while adding even more stuff
It sold those 2M copies before November, so mostly at $40-60
$90-100M gross revenue might be about right, but the production budget was only $37M and their previous games had marketing expenses between $20-25M. So assuming Detroit was higher on that front gives us a total budget of around $67M. So yeah, it is profitable since a while and already "funds" their next title if Sony so chooses

Quantic should probably send Bryan Dechart a lovely gift for Christmas this year I reckon, he's probably helped selling a fair amount of copies.
The movement controls are irritating in Heavy Rain, but not enough to discourage a playthrough. Platinuming it is kind of a slog if that's something you are interested in, but the multiple endings are pretty good since the three main characters can die at points. The graphics are dated, but the atmosphere is still amazing.
I honestly wouldn't mind if QD ditched the whole multi-choice, branching-narrative aesthetic of their past four games and just made a full-blown point & click adventure with Detroit-tier production values as their next project. Like a noir game where you play as a detective investigating a string of murders for instance. Think L.A. Noire but without the combat or open world, just a pure focus on finding clues, solving puzzles, interrogating NPCs and a slow-burning story with atmosphere up the wazoo. I think they have it in them to make a game like that. There's no harm in breaking away from the interactive movie mold for a bit.
Yeah, great game!
Well deserved QD, my favorite of yours so far.
Agreed. Loved those sections in Heavy Rain too.
QD genuinely surprised me with this game. I laughed at Indigo Prophecy and Heavy Rain was good but nowhere near the hype it received back in the day (and is hilarious as well now watching parts of it again) but this game was great. One of the best games of the year, for sure and probably the best "choice" adventure game I've played yet (easily QD's best game too).
