Detroit: Become Human Preview Thread

We'll see. Previous Cage games have disappointed me, this one looks surprisingly better and more accomplished. Hoping it turns out good, but I'll keep expectations low.
I've played the Connor demo at a few different events and it definitely felt more like Heavy Rain than Beyond: Two Souls. To be honest, I've never been enamoured with the concept as I feel like we've had this kind of story in games before, and one thing I've always appreciated about Quantic Dream is that they're willing to tell stories that are quite unusual for the medium.
That said, I'm really looking forward to this.

After Heavy Rain getting an 87 on Metacritic, I can't really trust reviewers when it comes to these types of games.
That's actually good news lol. What did he work on?

"might be" feels not good to read as far as previews go, Gamereactor stuff is neat
I'll atleast play the demo and follow the previews for popcorn purposes but can't say I'm optimistic.
Story themes, game play concepts.
Photography and actual writing were handled by two other people.
I feel like you have to take it in context, though. While I agree that it's absolutely no where near an 87 now, at the time there was nothing quite like it. And whatever you think of the writing or studio or even "narrative" games, the formula was quite innovative; I very much doubt Telltale's modern portfolio or games like Life Is Strange and Until Dawn would exist without it.
In that sense, I do understand why it was so revered in 2010.
I'm wary of critic scores on QD games when Heavy Rain is simply a good joke game and not actually dramatic or emotional at all.
He came up with the concepts but he isn't in charge of the script.
It was a back and forth I'm sure but it should have better flow.
The demo is great for instance, the exchange between Daniel and Connor feels really good.
mods will have a hard time seen through concern trolling. About the game, its like a real successor for Heavy Rain, everything about looks great. The UI, the robot detective, the different endings for each scenarios.
Hmm, guess we'll just have to wait and see then. I never had a problem with the gameplay of the Cage games, just the story and the writing. Maybe this could be the start of a good direction.
I mean, Fahrenheit (And to a lesser extent, Omikron) were the same formula but yeah I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the reviewers just never played them and thought this was a revolutionary concept. Reading the reviews though, a lot of people thought the story itself was stellar, and I just can't agree.
That was a decade ago though, and a lot has changed in journalism and stories in games, so it'll be interesting to see what people say.
Wrong place to ask, but will there be any limited/special editions for this game? I had no idea it was releasing so damn soon.
It feels like Playstation just entered Ultra Beast Mode. That or for some reason I expected previews to be more muted than this?
Interesting read. Even when I was a fan of Heavy Rain, Beyond felt like a step back in comparison. I'ven't feel much hype for Detroit due that; but it seems I may have to keep an eye on it
Most QD games completely shit all over themselves in act three, so these previews don't mean much to me.
This is some bullshit Youtuber cringey/meme video. Heavy Rain is a fantastic game.
Nooooooo. FUCK!
The awful, horrible writing was the only thing that made the last two games fun. It was basically the gaming's equivalent of The Room. Cage is our Wiseau. Without that, what else is there? I sure as shit am not playing it for the "gameplay".
Wait there is a demo? When is it coming? Would love to try it before buying
I think some people on this forum just sit there refereshing the page constantly waiting for a Detroit topic to come in so they can run in and tell us all how bad David Cage is.
It's hilarious

My playthrough probably just the best possible choices.
I don't have the balls to make bad decisions lol.
I can't & wont even Platinumed Heavy Rain because of it.

You have a ton of choices in the game, including completely moronic ones that put your characters in dire situations. So just pick the worst possible choice every time and you ll like playing " Detroit : Cage edition ".
Hype restored ?
