OP
OP
If you have two accounts you can have two diferent games and saves.
My sister have her own acount on my PS4 and she played Detroit that way, in her own account.
A copycat Origami killer hits Detroit. Connor has to reach out to the FBI agent who helped close the previous case .. an old Nahmen Jayden.
Make it so !
I really need everything to be focused on Connor.
Perfect! I'm pretty sure I'm going to have two overlapping playthroughs with two groups of people, so I wouldn't want one to lose their save as we go.
Thanks :D
I wouldn't mind DLC of one more investigation because the crime scene bits were really my favorite. But I'm not sure how likely that would be considering the MILLIONS of different endings to this game.
I could see a prequel setting for a potential DLC. Of what I dont know.
There's not much room for a prequel really. But a sequel, they actually leave a lot of things open and there's a lot a sequel could explore. I hope QD breaks their no sequels policy for Detroit.
This AMA with David Cage certainly had a lot of interesting stuff.
dragonbane could you maybe gather the most important staff in a post?
He talked about a lot of lore stuff too.

Intro to Cage's AMA:
What are you doing at the moment and what's next?
Quantic Dream tends to move onto new IPs after each game. With the rich world you've created in Detroit, is there any consideration for a spinoff or sequel?
Possible DLC for Detroit?
Which upcoming video game are you most excited for?
What is your favorite video game and movie?
Why do you love making games instead of linear stuff such as movies or TV?
Will Dark Sorcerer ever happen?
Did you really score the soundtrack for Timecop on the SNES?
Are you interested in making a narrative driven MP game one day where multiple people interact online/locally and do choices together?
On the continued use of multiple protagonists:
On memes:
On why there is often a segment in QD games where you are lost/homeless:
How difficult is it to work with child actors?
Did someone cry while play testing Detroit?
On the complexity of Detroit's flowchart:
On Chloe in Detroit:
How does the skin and hair of androids work?
Is there a "true" ending for Detroit?
Did the overwhelming preference for Connor in the fanbase come as a surprise?
Were there any chapters that were especially enjoyable or stressful to work on?
What's your favorite character?
What were the inspirations for the 3 main characters?
What was the most significant change from the early drafts to the final script?
Do you like dogs?
Detroit spoiler stuff:
I and the entire team at Quantic Dream have all been hugely impressed and inspired by the wonderful community that is flourishing here and elsewhere online.
So I thought it was time I reached out to you all directly to thank you for your support.
I'm very much looking forward to hearing your questions so, AMA!
Proof:
Edit: That's it from me guys! Thank you so much for all your wonderful questions, I really wish I could answer every single one but there were really too many...
We have all been hugely inspired by this community and it means the world to speak to so many of you directly.
A HUGE THANK YOU to you all for your passion and support. You are the reason why we make games.
Stay tuned ;)

Androids sitting at the back of the bus and its seemingly obvious parallel to American history:
Do you enjoy reading fan speculation about stuff like rA9?
Why can the Alice series deactivate its LED?
The Eden Club wipes the memory of its androids, how could the Tracis keep their memories?
Kara can not become the leader of the revolution despite the initial teaser possibly hinting at such an option:
How does the hand connection work? Like when North and Markus join hands? Or when Markus frees other androids?
If they have the possibility to converse without spoken words, through some sort of wi-fi, why don't they use it more frequently?
Was it ever considered for Markus to have other possible love interests besides North?

It must be this one

I just lost my favorite character because I choose to not risk my life and another's life to save someone else in an earlier chapter! Are you fucking kidding me!?!?
FUCK

Yeah so beat it. I love/hate it and the tears I shed. Great fucking experience.
Not quiet as good as Beyond and both games shit on Heavy Rain from a great height.

I want to talk about Markus' story and how its BS
I went Peaceful all the time until I learned they were rounding us up and putting us in camps (like the Nazis!), it was then I went on the attack.
At no point did "Public Opinion" do anything for me. So feeling isolaed I felt the only thing to do was defend my people.
This ended up helping to bite Kara in the ass for me and she died.
Now apparently had I done yet another peaceful demonstration then FINALLY the Public Opinion would help me.
Basically I feel kind of cheated by that.

Finished up my playthrough with my mom haha.
She:
She really liked it though and was like "so will there be another?"
Probably not, Mom :( They don't do sequels :(
She:
-made Connor go deviant and saved Hank and brought the androids to the revolution
-had Markus go crazy violent lol. North and Josh died, but Markus and Simon finished the assault
-got Alice, Kara and Luther through the border (but I influenced this. She was like "oh just try sacrificing no one" and I was like, naw. I knew she'd be annoyed if they all just got shot, and when I told her, she was like "oh. No. I wouldn't have liked that" lol.)
-she was also apparently really into the idea of Markus and Connor becoming lovers lmao. A #MarkCon shipper?!
She said she really enjoyed Markus and Connor's stories and was a little down on Kara by the end (she thought Alice was annoying haha). She started the game a bit uninterested in Connor and Hank but by the end it was "Connor baby, be careful!" and "that warms my heart!" with Hank and Connor's last scene haha. Connor always wins.
She was also really into Markus' revolution by the end and applauded when Markus gave his speech haha.

Plat'd the game today, wasn't my favorite game this year due to some parts of the story getting a bit cringe-y, especially around the topic of establishing sentience/"being alive", love, android rights and the poorly articulated parallels to slavery and the holocaust but overall i enjoyed it. It was pretty fascinating how utterly different the game played out based on a few small choices I made (had to for the platinum), the endings can vary pretty wildly which is cool. Getting the "I'LL BE BACK" trophy was really tough/long (basically a full replay) but also funny in many ways. The one thing I really DIDN'T like was the magazine stuff for the trophy, a few of them are really hidden away behind very obscure choices and its the one I really had to go get online hints for.
There was an in-game magazine that mentioned how Cyberlife had created a quantum AI that could perform many exoflops and how it was being used to explore extinction level events, kinda felt like a strong hint as to who someone in the game might have been. I really liked the whole backdrop of Russia / USA / Arctic / android armies / war thing, could definitely have a lot of interesting movies/TV/games in this universe.
What would be fascinating sometime in the future is someone creating a game engine and a game like this and letting users then tell their own stories with basic game creation tools. It would be utterly amazing to me if someone created a baseline story game like Detroit BH and then users could create their own little story adventures to tell more stories.

Absolutely my GOTY so far. Feels like I'm about halfway through, and I've loved almost every single minute of it.
But...my god, I lose it every time I see the stock sports footage playing on TV LOL - It's so jarring.

Man this game is incredibly depressing. I love it, but it's hard for me to want to continue after some of the topics and events that I've played.
The beauty of it is that you can play this like a "time travel" story, where you can go back and this time your characters are somewhat aware, or get a feeling, about their alternate lives !
And then get better outcomes ! My first playthrough was horrible for everyone.
I didn't even get the cool part about the "bad end" because one character died early >< .
Finished it, replayed the last chapter because I hated the way it ended for Kara, and quite shocked how much things changed, hitting more prompts in time. Happy with my second ending. I was violent.
love the game. I really fell for Kara and her relationship, and picking things to push connor one direction was much fun.

Awesome to hear man. Glad your pre-owned PS4 survived it haha
Yeah, this game deserves dlc. How feasible that is, I don't know. This game looks like it was crazy expensive to produce. One could hope.
probably some backstories.
Otherwise i don't think it's possible.
Just finished up the game last night! This is the first QD game I've played and I'm still working through my thoughts.
I guess the most surprising thing to me is how much I enjoyed actually playing the game. I'm not the hugest fan of QTEs, but knowing that your choices have actual consequences, and that characters could die, really amped up the stakes and did a great job building up tension in a lot of scenes.
I guess I'll also echo what everyone else is saying in that I really enjoyed the Connor storyline, although one big moment fell pretty flat for me...
The writing definitely was the weakest part of the game, and it was most noticeable in the most ambitious storyline (Marcus). Even at its best, the writing had a "that's not quite how people speak" quality to it. And, at its worst... well it's been covered ad nauseam elsewhere.
Anyway, I am really glad I played the game! Overall I recommend it, although I can see why some people wouldn't. Looking forward to QD's next effort.

The whole scene with Kamski just did not work at all for me. Dude was such an over the top dick that it made me not care at all about that moral dilemma in the scene. I was kind of hoping there was an option to shoot him instead of Chloe (or preferably shoot them both.. side note, I hated Chloe and kicking her off my title screen was the easiest decision in the game).
In the end I didn't shoot Chloe just because I didn't want to do what that prick was telling me to do... so, I guess the game was successful at evoking an emotional response, although it may not have been the one they were going for...

My gf sent me this fanmade AVM. I usually don't like avm's because they are mostly cringey, but damn this one is really good. It basically spoils every scene in the game though so don't click it if you haven't finished the game.
Haven't finished the game yet, but I'm pretty blown away by it. I thought I wouldn't like anyone except Connor, but there are so many enjoyable characters in this game that I'm really surprised by how much I'm into it. Even the girl from the main menu is cool. I see the complaints about the writing, but it's fine to me, and some scenes are just awesome. I wish this game had more attention. I feel like it's flown under the radar already. It's damn good.
And I'm excited to play some free Heavy Rain when I'm done. Is it as good as Detroit?

At the time it was despite a few issues. It was also quite revolutionary. 8 years later it has significantly aged. Graphically it's acceptable still (on PS4), but a lot of the facial animations dive right into the uncanny valley or look funny. The acting ranges from decent to rather poor and is vastly inferior to Beyond/Detroit and can't match the big strides that have been made since in gaming. Controls are a bit clunky, but you get used to them. The OST, choices and general gameplay implementation still range from pretty good to excellent. The story is still gripping and intense if you get into it, but there are significant and glaring flaws including plot holes you will notice at the end.
Overall it is very much worth playing still if you never have, but is also a product of its time and after Detroit will feel inferior in many ways
Is Beyond the same way? I have that downloaded and want to play with my partner but haven't had the chance to yet.
Technically Beyond is 10 times more polished and high end looking/sounding compared to Heavy Rain.
Beyond looks really great.
I enjoyed it more than Heavy Rain,although the story is going nuts near the end.That's the flaw of the game,it's not the writing,it's the story itself.
Beyond impressively hasn't aged much I would say. It made a big enough jump over Heavy Rain in just 3.5 years that it will hold up for a long time. Graphics especially on PS4 are very nice still despite obviously not holding a candle to Detroit. Facial animations are quite convincing throughout and the acting is fantastic. Pretty much Detroit levels. Great soundtrack and gameplay is solid. Big choices are sadly very lacking this time around as the story is rather linear with only minor bends. It also dives super deep into the supernatural, but the story is more cohesive than Heavy Rain overall. But it needs to be your thing. Also expect some cringe
NOOOOOOO GOD, PLEASE NO! So I just finished the chapter where the raid on Jericho takes place and I'm sick to my stomach. Protecting Alice has been, far and away, my number one objective in this game (even above freedom for the androids). I left everyone else behind as Kara, and didn't let anything distract me from this one objective.
Unfortunately, I was one of like 5-7% of people who, instead of playing dead and REMAINING "dead," decided to hit the "Protect Alice" selection...killing them both. I'm devastated, not only because of the obvious end result, but also because of my sheer stupidity. I guess I was used to instinctively slam-picking any option that deals with protecting Alice, but man...
I have a rule with these types of games to no go back on my first playthrough, so it is what it is. I'll definitely correct this choice afterward though lol.
Other than that, what a game. Can't wait to see how it ends.

Started palying the game yesterday. Reached
Thid dude is giving me bad vibes. He's creeping me out. As soon as he saw Alice he accepted them in. Something is definetly off.
No. Fuck basements in movies or videogames. Nothing good goes on in a basement.
