By Allegra Frank: "With the rest of Detroit, what we have instead is a story equally overstuffed and underdeveloped. Quantic Dream has mastered making a very playable, even enjoyable interactive experience. But there’s always this performative feeling behind it — always this reminder that, for as much as someone wants to help out a cause, there’s a difference between saying it and doing it."
Quantic Dream has sent Gamereactor a press release stating that Detroit: Become Human now has sold more than 2,5 million copies on PC, making it surpass 8 million across all platforms.
That's great. Quantic Dream took everything they learned from their past games and built the most refined, coherent and interesting game and story yet. I even bought it on both PS4 and PC.
Interested in learning more info about player decision-based video games? This compounded list of games offers some of the best choices.
PSU writes: "Detroit: Become Human has surpassed 6.5 million units sold, between both PS4 and PC, after hitting the six million mark last July."
Nice. This is a must play and by far the best of QD’s titles (although I have huge love for Heavy Rain).
To this day, I am still very surprised that Sony did not buy Quantic. Especially after the HR, Beyond and Detroit era. Perhaps they tried but weren’t successful.
And now they’re off making multi-plats. Interested to see how their new title is.
"But reducing the androids’ fight for humanity — or struggles with discrimination, or escaping brutal abuse — into grabbing nearly every button on your DualShock controller is a cheap, ignorant way to skirt the real impact of these subjects."
"The main character’s blackness in the story is never addressed, like it doesn’t matter."
It's always something with these people, isn't it? If a game doesn't tackle these subjects, it gets blasted. If it does, it isn't allowed to be translated to button presses on a controller. What else can they do? It's a video game. If the cast consists of all white males it's not diverse enough, if they include a white protagonist, a female and a black protagonist his 'blackness isn't addressed'. I'm certain that if it was addressed they would criticize it as well.
Ugh, of course it's Polygon. Starting to understand some of the negative reviews now.
No score?
Still at 80 on metacritic. Some of these reviews man
