This doesn’t mean that Detroit is trying to be the next Nietzsche, far from it, but due to the strong characterisation and writing of the protagonists and their stories, the experience can be as deep or straightforward as you want.Įach of the main character’s motivations and goals differ from one another. This is precisely the kind of approach this game needed, seeing as though it’s attempting to ask such philosophical questions. By giving you three distinct and focused perspectives, these answers become much more nuanced and multifaceted.

The answers to these concepts are not found in the overall narrative, but rather within each of the, protagonist’s individual story. At its core, Detroit is about existentialism, what it means to be human, and ultimately, what it means to be alive. It came across as a bit cheesy when I first heard them saying it, but after playing the game, it made sense.

The tagline used by the three main android protagonists, Kara, Connor and Markus, in numerous promotional trailers. Detroit goes in the complete opposite direction and instead puts the focus solely on the characters and their journey within a really simple narrative – and I cannot express enough how much of a better game it is because of that. Each of these games tried really hard to get you to care about the characters as well, but when they’re only used as tools to drive an often convoluted story forward, they end up being mishandled and ultimately forgotten. Beyond Two Souls on the other hand is nothing but a jumbled mess of ideas that not even Ellen Page and Willem Dafoe could save. Heavy Rain, while a good game, had its share of plot holes and was misleading to its own detriment, all in favour of playing up the main twist of the story. Indigo Prophecy started off really interesting but devolved into this weird supernatural story filled with aliens or Mayans and B-grade Matrix-like fighting sequences. I appreciate what they’re trying to do for narratives in gaming, but their games, while ambitious never truly hit the mark for me.

When it comes to Quantic Dream, I can’t say I’ve ever truly been a fan of their work. The story begins at the start of this turning point. Androids feel nothing, however, so aggression towards them was somewhat meaningless, but all that changed as slowly, but surely they started gaining sentience and became what are known as Deviants. While androids were still generally accepted by the populace, discriminatory behaviour towards them was on the rise. Some viewed them as unholy creations while others were angry at the fact that androids started taking over their jobs. However, tensions soon began to rise between man and machine.

At the height of this era came the invention of human-like androids, soulless machines created with the sole purpose to help humankind. The game takes place in Detroit in the not too distant future depicting a landscape thriving with technological advancements. At the time I never imagined it would take the shape of a new game on PS4, but what is most surprising, however, is that the Kara tech demo which would eventually become Detroit as we know it now, would be Quantic Dream’s best game to date.

I remember seeing the PS3 Kara tech demo back in 2012 and being utterly mesmerised by not just the graphics but at the lifelike performance of the android as she’s being assembled.
