Detroit: Become Human is an interactive drama adventure game developed by Quantic Dream and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment for the PlayStation 4, released worldwide on 25 May 2018. The plot revolves around three androids: Kara, who escapes the owner she was serving to explore her newfound sentience and protect a young girl; Connor, whose job it is to hunt down sentient androids; and Markus, who devotes himself to releasing other androids from servitude. They may survive or perish depending on dialogue choices that shape the story as customised by the player.

Detroit: Become Human was based on Quantic Dream's 2012 tech demo Kara; Valorie Curry returned to reprise the title role. To research the setting, the developers visited Detroit, Michigan. They built a new engine to complement the game and cast hundreds of actors from Los Angeles, London, and Paris before commencing the process of shooting and animation. The script took writer and director David Cage over two years to complete. Philip Sheppard, Nima Fakhrara, and John Paesano served as composers for Kara, Connor, and Markus, respectively.

Detroit: Become Human was met with generally favourable reviews from critics, who praised the setting, visuals, smaller moments in the story, main characters, their voice actors, the impact choices had on the narrative, and flowchart feature, but criticised the motion controls, mishandling of historical and thematic allegories, and aspects of the plot and characters.

Gameplay

Connor engaged in crisis negotiation with a range of dialogue choices that can either fail or accomplish the mission.

Detroit: Become Human is an adventure game[2] played from a third-person view,[3][4] which is subject to a set and controllable perspective.[5] There are multiple playable characters[6] who can die as the story continues without them;[7] as a result, there is no "game over" message following a character's death.[8] The right analogue stick on the DualShock controller is used to interact with objects and observe one's surroundings, the left analogue stick is for movement, and R2 scans an environment for possible actions; the motion controls and touchpad are also employed. Via quick time events and dialogue decisions,[9][10][11] the story will branch out depending on which choices are made,[12] the sum of which can be viewed in a flowchart during and immediately after a given chapter;[13] the player can rewind to certain points in the story to reshape decisions in the event of regret.[14] Certain scenes feature countdowns, which force the player to think and act quickly.[15] The playable characters are:

Obtaining clues by highlighting and analysing the environment with augmented vision allows Connor to reconstruct and replay events that occurred before.[4][19] The more information Connor collects within an allotted time,[20] the greater the chance of success will be in deciding a course of action.[21] Markus has the power to grant androids free will and calculate the outcomes of certain acts.[11][22][23]

Plot

Caretaker android Markus and his owner Carl Manfred return home from a party only to alert the police of a suspected burglary. In confronting the perpetrator, Markus bypasses his programming, thereby becoming a deviant android, leading the police to shoot him at arrival.[24] Markus awakes in a landfill of broken androids and, after repairing himself, manages to escape.[25] Following a map given to him by another android, he finds his way to Jericho,[26] a wrecked ship and safe haven for deviants. Markus rallies the others to take what they need to survive and eventually fight for their rights.[27][28] Using either peaceful or violent methods, they perform several acts of civil disobedience, including a citywide broadcast, which gets the public's attention and more androids to join.[29][30][31] This culminates in the FBI attacking and destroying Jericho.[32] If he survives, Markus and the survivors march on one of the camps set up to destroy androids. In a talk with the head agent, Markus either surrenders or stands firm, resulting, depending on subsequent actions and public opinion, in either everyone dying, or the president opening peace talks with them.[33]

Police android Connor is sent by the CyberLife corporation to assist Hank Anderson, an alcoholic police lieutenant who hates androids.[34] In the course of their investigation into an outbreak of deviants,[35][36] they either bond or fall apart,[37][38][39] potentially resulting in Hank committing suicide.[40] It is made known throughout the story that when Connor dies, his memories are transferred into another model.[39][41] During his hunt for Markus' group, he starts to doubt himself, though he can choose to stay firm in his beliefs.[32][41] Eventually, he meets the head of CyberLife,[41] who can provide him the location of Jericho, or else he will be forced to find it by analysing all the evidence collected in previous cases.[42] He can then become a deviant himself, depending on previous choices.[32] If so, Connor infiltrates CyberLife Tower and converts everyone there into deviants. If not, he attempts to snipe Markus during the final protest, but is stopped by a SWAT team or Hank. In the end, if peace is achieved, Connor will be listening to a speech by Markus, where he can choose whether or not to shoot him. If he picks the latter, he breaks free of CyberLife's control for good.[33]

Kara, a housekeeper android for Todd Williams and his daughter Alice,[43] escapes with her after he attacks them and leaves Kara a deviant.[44] The two travel across Detroit, intending to make it to Canada, which has no specific laws involving androids and where they will be safe. Along the way, they befriend another android named Luther, who joins them on their journey.[45][46][47] They seek the aid of a woman known to help their kind, who points them to Jericho[48] where she says they can obtain passports. They get caught up in the attack there, which may result in Luther, Kara, and Alice's deaths. Kara also learns that Alice is an android bought by Todd to replace the daughter taken away by his wife,[32] information she uses when he finds them at the bus stop (if Todd survived the escape). They are given passports and make it to the bus that will take them to Canada. If Kara steals tickets from a couple, they reach the border, only to find a checkpoint scanning for androids. Kara can sacrifice either herself, Luther, or, if she previously helped him, another android named Jerry to bypass the checkpoint. If so, Alice can either go alone, with Kara / Luther, or all three of them can get to Canada if Markus led a peaceful protest. However, if no decision is made and Markus led a violent protest, they will be executed by nearby officers. If Kara returns the stolen tickets, Rose provides an alternative transport by boat, but they are discovered by the Coast Guard. Luther's death is certain during this route. Kara can also be killed simultaneously with Alice, or either Kara or Alice are fatally wounded. If a fatally wounded Kara makes it to shore in time with Alice, she will declare her love for Alice and die at peace, sending Alice on to meet Rose's contact. If Alice dies after getting to shore, Kara can choose to commit suicide out of grief or continue living and meet Rose's contact to start a new life in Canada.[33]

Development

Valorie Curry (top) and Jesse Williams (bottom) provided voices and motion capture for the playable characters Kara and Markus, respectively.

Detroit: Become Human had a development budget of €30 million.[49] The game is based on Quantic Dream's 2012 PlayStation 3 technology demonstration Kara,[50][51][52] shown on a game engine that was at fifty percent capacity.[53] It starred Valorie Curry, who would later reprise the title role.[54] Writer and director David Cage wanted to make the demo into a full game, despite not originally having planned to, because he was curious as to what would happen next.[55][56] He took inspiration from Ray Kurzweil's The Singularity Is Near, which explains that the rate at which human intelligence develops pales in comparison to that of a machine. Therefore, Cage proposes that machines may one day have emotions.[57] Androids were designed with reference to artificial organs, how their energy would be generated, and human eye movement. An android's abilities were determined by each of their given profession.[58] Experts in artificial intelligence were consulted to discern which technological advancements were the most feasible.[59] Detroit was chosen as the setting to revitalise a city that had succumbed to economic decline after a historical contribution to American industry.[60] The developers travelled to Detroit to conduct field research,[61] taking pictures, visiting abandoned buildings, and meeting people.[62]

In late 2013, Cage was in preproduction on Detroit: Become Human[63] which he said would build upon his work on Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls.[64] Cage's script – between 2,000 and 3,000 pages[65] – was first relayed to the design team whilst the programmers created the graphics[66] as well as a new game engine with advancements in features like rendering, dynamic lighting, shading, bokeh, and physical cameras.[3][53] Quantic Dream improved their game engine's depth of field after Mark Cerny, lead architect of PlayStation 4, came to evaluate it.[67] In October 2016, the screenplay was completed after more than two years.[68] Cage used charts and diagrams while writing the choices, to see where they would end up;[69] writing "five or six thousand pages of notes", he likened the story to a Rubik's Cube.[70] Two scenes were cancelled over their lack of clarity in how violence was portrayed.[71] The casting extended to Los Angeles, London, and Paris in search for more than 250 actors to portray 513 roles. The actors were scanned in 3D, whose models were then made into characters. Shooting and animation followed, and on 8 September 2017, the performance capture was finished after 324 days.[65][66][72][73] It had 35,000 camera shots, 74,000 unique animations, and 5.1 million lines of code.[65]

The characters Connor and Markus are played by Bryan Dechart and Jesse Williams, respectively.[20][74] Clancy Brown, Lance Henriksen, and Minka Kelly portray supporting characters Lieutenant Hank Anderson, Carl Manfred, and North, respectively.[11][75][76] There are three different composers, one for each playable character:[77] Philip Sheppard for Kara, Nima Fakhrara for Connor, and John Paesano for Markus. Sheppard's cello sequence in Kara's theme was inspired by the flames of a log fire, whereas the motif layered over it came from the two syllables in her name. Fakhrara created custom instruments and used vintage synthesizers in order that the sound could represent the robotic nature of Connor. Paesano's music was made with the idea that it would be "like a church hymn", personifying Markus' transformation into a leader.[78] Director of photography Aymeric Montouchet used "thick grain and shaky long lens" with shallow depth of field for Kara, "small, tight grain" and a blue palette for Connor, and orange and white colours for Markus.[67] The game was released to manufacturing on 23 April 2018, after four years of production.[79]

Release

Detroit: Become Human was announced on 27 October 2015 at a Sony press conference during Paris Games Week.[80] It appeared at E3 2016 and E3 2017, showing trailers of additional playable characters and gameplay.[6][18] Following E3 2017, Cage confirmed that the game would be released in 2018,[81] later specified as the first or second quarter therein.[82] The game was released on 25 May 2018 for PlayStation 4.[83] If pre-ordered, Detroit: Become Human would come with a dynamic theme and digital soundtrack, while the digital deluxe edition included a copy of Heavy Rain, a digital art book, digital soundtrack, two dynamic themes, and ten avatars.[84]

After the 2017 Paris Games Week, a new trailer was criticised for its portrayal of child abuse, specifically a scene in which a 10-year-old girl is attacked by her father.[85] Dechart defended the trailer, saying the story "elicits empathy".[86] A demo of the first scene, "Hostage", was made available on the PlayStation Store on 24 April 2018, accompanied by an Amazon Alexa skill that guides the player through the demo.[79] The game was promoted in Japan with the live action short film, Tokyo: Become Human.[87] This was followed by a launch trailer and two animated English-language shorts introducing Elijah Kamski, the creator of the androids, and Chloe, the first android to pass the Turing test.[88][89]

Reception

Detroit: Become Human received "generally favorable reviews", according to review aggregator Metacritic.[90] Destructoid's Chris Carter said that, despite tiring of Quantic Dream's penchant for detective stories, he enjoyed its execution and Connor's "calm demeanor and android origin". Carter praised the setting, calling it "believable" and "captivating", while also noting that the "smaller moments" were among its strengths.[9] Michael Goroff of Electronic Gaming Monthly favoured the fact that the playable characters were androids because their second-class citizenship status created an "effective viewpoint". The controls and quick-time events were also subject to approval. Goroff lauded the "incredibly satisfying and sometimes unexpected" impact of the collective decisions and declared this the game's "biggest accomplishment".[10] Writing for Game Informer, Kimberley Wallace agreed with Carter's assessment of the "little moments" and said the character development was "fun to watch", well handled, and the "highlight of the game". She appreciated how the branching narratives affected the latter parts and complimented Quantic Dream for the "impressive" achievement.[22] Paul Tamburro at Game Revolution wrote that Detroit: Become Human boasted a "compelling world ... enriched by fantastic performances and state-of-the-art motion-capturing". He commended Curry, Dechart, and Williams for their "engrossing performances" and said the game was among "the most well-acted" around. He also felt the choices "drastically" changed the story.[91]

Peter Brown of GameSpot welcomed the variety of cycling between characters for ensuring player engagement. The game's "most dreadful and horrific scenes" made a considerable impression on Brown, some of which he found to be "truly unforgettable". Additionally, he remarked that the visuals were beautiful and "captivating to behold".[13] GamesRadar's Andy Hartup praised Quantic Dream for making "an interactive story capable of provoking genuine, honest, and varied emotions". He thought the consequences of the decisions were "utterly delightful", albeit rarely, and saw the setting as "beautiful". Hartup liked the character models, calling them "the most remarkable you’ll see in gaming", and favoured the eyes in particular. On the decision-making aspects, he proclaimed Detroit: Become Human "the new gold standard ... for meaningful choice in gaming".[15] Lucy O'Brien at IGN wrote that the game "manages to be a frequently moving melodrama that bends to your choices with meaningful results". She also praised the acting of Curry, Dechart, and Williams, observing different benefits to each character. O'Brien appraised the general plot as "big, ambitious fun" and the environments as "beautifully detailed". Like Goroff, Wallace, Tamburro, and Hartup, O'Brien found the "branching paths to be multiple and deep", while also complimenting the flowcharts,[92] a feature Colm Ahern of VideoGamer.com singled out as one of the game's few redeeming qualities.[93]

Conversely, Carter criticised the game's "surface level exploration" of the Ship of Theseus, questioning the director's subtlety. He blamed the weakness of Kara's story on Cage's writing, called the portrayal of domestic and substance abusers "cartoonish", and complained about occasional "wooden acting".[9] Goroff's only annoyance with the controls concerned its motion-sensitive feature, especially disparaging its use in quick-time events.[10] Wallace thought Markus' story was the worst of the three, citing "predictable speeches" and "black-and-white decisions" as the primary problems. She suggested that the narrative suffered "heavy-handed" attempts at historical parallels, and noted, as Carter did, that its representation of abuse seemed "exploitive due to the over-the-top antics". She felt the use of the motion controls and touchpad was "unintuitive" and wanted more variety from the gameplay.[22] Tamburro faulted the opening act for its "slow" and "dull" interactions, the quick-time events for their abundance, and occasional story paths for being "highly questionable".[91]

Brown viewed Markus as "remarkably lacking in nuance" and the allegories to actual history as "on-the-nose" and "distracting". He commented that the flowchart exposition was "ultimately detrimental" to player immersion and wished there was a way of disabling it.[13] Hartup disliked the moments in which themes were either "fumble[d]" or "pushed too far".[15] O'Brien observed multiple plotholes and found a considerable amount of "clumsy" exposition and dialogue.[92] Ahern wrote in his verdict, "Detroit: Become Human wants to move you. It wants to elicit an emotional response through its story. The thing is, it really doesn't ... when the narrative is as cringey and ham-fisted as it is you won't want to play through it multiple times".[93]

Sales

In its week of release, Detroit: Become Human reached first place on the UK chart in overall sales, as with console sales alone, though fewer than when Beyond: Two Souls launched.[94]

Awards

Detroit: Become Human was nominated for the 2016 Best of E3 Game Critics Awards in the category of Best Original Game[95] but lost out to Horizon Zero Dawn.[96] At E3 2017, it won GameSpot's Best of E3 award[97] and was nominated for IGN's Best PlayStation 4 Game[98] and Best Adventure Game awards,[99] Hardcore Gamer's Adventure Game award[100] and Game Critics Awards' Best Original Game and Best Action/Adventure Game awards.[101][102]
