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

Excellent news. This game is the ideal digital game too imho. I'm taking a break now for a bit before I redo the scenarios. Amazing game (I think I got the best ending too)
David Cage wrote an opinion piece for the Huffington Post: https://www.huffingtonpost.fr/david...ssion-au-meme-titre-que-le-cinema_a_23453444/
I skimmed through the article (as in google translated most of the paragraphs (thanks lackluster canadian public school french education)), but it seems like its about how underestimated (and misrepresented) video gaming is by the public and how its amazing how large and how fast its growing.
Basically he's saying a lot of what people here constantly say when talking about the importance of video games. He basically makes a point of using other examples like Gone Home, Journey, God of War and TLoU.
honestly, seems like a perfectly fine opinion piece to me. Nothing that should really be controversial here...
"should" being the key word here >.>

It gets so awesome at the end. And I definetly really dug the chapter length and pacing.
Looks like it! Next NPD might be a big success for it.
Oh most of his interviews are not controversial hence you don't see those anywhere. Bird likes to find and translate his French ones which are usually pretty good. Of course a thread about those wouldn't get past page 1 lol.
Detroit is massively popular in views. Just check out how many views some random outcome videos are getting:
QD's most successful game so far, and lots of people are discovering and loving it. Maybe we'll get some WW sales numbers at E3? Already surpassed Heavy Rain all time sales in Japan, great digital sales in US & EU and all that. It's a hit.

Even websites that disliked the game in the reviews end up doing let's play of the game. Videogamer and Eurogamer. And it got great views compared to the other let's plays they do.Detroit is massively popular in views. Just check out how many views some random outcome videos are getting:
And for the bit I saw they seemed to enjoy it.

You should watch O.C. Deidre.
She managed to do something I never seen in any let's play.
Unintentionally managed to make North hate Markus

Yeah I thought this would happen. People love seeing all kinds of different outcomes and finding stuff that they didn't even encounter in their own game. Helps that the world and the characters are great.
Very good. I bought it a week ago and still early in the game, but i can already tell this is a new benchmark in cinematic gaming. The characters are fucking real and the acting is so good. The music carries emotions.
Detroit is a showpiece for the medium.
This is without doubt one of the best games in a year already packed with amazing games. QD really came through.
Just finished it. Very easily QD's best game and a tentpole for interactive adventure games. In terms of branching storylines, it's much better than current genre highs like Life is Strange and Until Dawn, but it once again lacks in writing. Dialogue isn't as wooden as previous QD games, although almost all emotional scenes lack subtlety and characters often specifically spell out the situation, so you know what emotions you're supposed to be feeling.
Connor is easily the best character and I loved his chemistry with Hank, even if it's a pretty blatant rip-off of Almost Human.
Alice's reveal is probably the worst offender in this. It's a pretty well executed twist that is undermined by Luther coming to talk to Kara and explaining how emotionally affecting it must be for her. The player isn't stupid. We know what Kara's sudden emotional conflict is and can feel for her without a clear explanation.
Connor is easily the best character and I loved his chemistry with Hank, even if it's a pretty blatant rip-off of Almost Human.
Thumbnails may include spoilers. But it's cool to see a lot female gamers playing this on Twitch, in addition to what appears to be quite a few players from Asia as well:

This game is so awesome and the world & characters are v intriguing. Just starting my second playthrough. I'm really hoping for a sequel, but Quantic Dream has not made any sequel so far...
Kizuna Ai has started playing the game. They will add subtitles to this in a day or so. Her reactions are so funny.
Damn well knew this was gonna be another "until dawn" scenario!

To unlock 100% all of the chapter, is it necessary to go all the way to the end of the chapter to save the choices or just go to the check point is enough?
Did anyone tried it?

Yea, the bite-size chapters really made it easy to get sucked in and see what's happens next.
Gotta say. I loved Heavy Rain (was hyped out about it), but saw how terrible the writing was in there and made me somewhat disillusioned with David Cage, but I always admired how, despite his writing, he saw the narrative potential in video gaming (currently reading through the Huffington piece he wrote and it shows). At the very least, Detroit showed that he was willing to listen to critics and actually got someone to help him write the game (and made the project more collaborative). It actually shows, and while I still do have some qualms about the story, I did enjoy the highs of the game. I got choked up a few times here and there too.
Plus, aside from a few characters, the voice acting/direction was actually pretty good this time. I remember having to play Heavy Rain in French because of it lol. (Which is ironic. IIRC, David Cage wrote that in English, whereas in Detroit, he actually wrote it in French and was only translated to English by his co-writer).

Yea, his writing ain't perfect but his direction is usually really good. I don't care if people call it hamfisted or on the nose, I love the melodramatic parts and he always does horror right. His games always have a tense part no matter what. People seem to love Kojima a lot but dude is even more ridiculous with his dialogue and stories. They're on the same level for me.
Yeah, I definitely agree with you on his direction. While you could argue that Cage's story is pretty simple and cliche, he knows how to write/direct scenes that would make you care and empathize with your characters--which I guess is pretty vital for a game that is about making moral choices. That is why I loved Heavy Rain... The game had strong scenes that lead to the most gut-wrenching decision points. As much as I thought Until Dawn outclassed Heavy Rain, come to think of it, I never had any problem with decision making in Until Dawn (or maybe that was because of the totem, I'm not really sure anymore). The direction was pretty stronger in Detroit too--The Stormy Night chapter being such a rollercoaster ride of a chapter despite being featured in a trailer before.
I talked to a few QD guys before and they also confirmed another thing I always suspected. As much as people like to claim Cage would rather direct movies he writes quite a few scenes gameplay first like the Zlatko chapter. He is very much interested in giving you cool scenarios to actually play and thus often comes to the point quick. Yeah it isn't always subtle but it very much has a purpose.
And with new writers the writing quality can only improve for the overall plot. It very much is a balance between overarching plot and individual vignettes and I feel he gets the balance right better and better with each game.
Some critics try to bash,but the fans love QD games,and this game is amazing,well deserved and the word of mouth will be strong,will be the best selling QD game and the haters will gonna crazy.
Depends entirely on your choices actually. But I would say anywhere from 8 hours to maybe 12 or 13?
Is there a minimum spoiler guide somewhere for the choices for the fastest way to get positive points towards earning Hank's trust?
This is great. He does a great job sharing some behind the scenes info and the woman who played the Tracies is fun to watch because she's so in to it and so happy about everything. Thanks for sharing this.
actually you should follow his twitch channel.
he's doing a lot of videos.
