Tokyo: Become Human 『Detroit: Become Human Spin off movie』
- Thread starter Carpathia
- Start date
Is there a reason this is getting such a big Japan push? Heavy Rain got a decent one, but not to this extent.
I'd guess it's because the core concept of androids in the near future holds a lot of appeal in Japan.

I don't know, they are not promoting the game like that and the game has 2 guys. I think is just the future/android setting, or maybe the game is great and they feel like promoting it.
Curious why there's not as big of an appeal in the EU, Australia, and NA. :/
I guess. I just wouldn't think it would make that big a difference when this style of game isn't as big in Japan.

In all seriousness, mechanization will be a big help/problem all over the world soon, but it always seemed like japan is more into giving robots a human form.
because Japan is leading in robot engineering...

30 pages of that coverage is probably about the making of these short film
Edit: so is the short film good? I'm waiting for subtitle

I hope the sequel is going to be Tokyo: Become Human, Detroit as a location is kinda been done enough with Western games.
Yes, but as I said previously, this style of game has limited appeal in Japan. While it will definitely help sell it, I just find it the extent a bit odd.
Didn't japan love visual novel game with branching path. This just have waaay more budget with aaa production value
Current Detroit may be, but future Detroit in the game looks like neo-Tokyo anyway. In some ways, at least.
They do, but for whatever reason, what's essentially the western equivalent, doesn't sell as well. Its not like they do bad or anything, I recall Heavy Rain selling 20,000 at launch, but it also kind of just fizzled where other countries it debuted much higer and held really well.
