Posted on June 12, 2017 by Mike Ryan

During Sony’s E3 Press Conference, the publisher showed off a new trailer for Quantic Dream’s Detroit: Become Human, which gave us a better idea of the game’s story. This trailer introduced audiences to another renegade android, Marcus, who becomes self-aware and leads a revolt with his fellow androids.

As shown in the trailer, Detroit: Become Human will feature drastic decisions with game-changing events. However, we still don’t know when the game is slated to hit the PS4, as no release date was announced.

Sony delivers another look at Detroit: Become Human during E3 2016

Posted on June 13, 2016 by Mike Ryan

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen Quantic Dream’s Detroit: Become Human, but the PS4 game isn’t just about an android named Kara anymore.

Detroit: Become Human will also star an android police detective named Connor. In this E3 2016 trailer, Connor tries to stop another android who has taken a human child hostage, and there appears to be a lot of different outcomes depending on player choice. It almost looks like a futuristic, Heavy Rain meets LA Noire meets Blade Runner game.

Detroit: Become Human doesn’t currently have a release date.

Quantic Dream’s “Kara” tech demo is officially in development for the PS4 as Detroit

Posted on October 27, 2015 by John Scalzo

Do you remember Kara, the amazing tech demo released by Quantic Dream in 2012? At the time, the developer was adamant in their assertion that Kara wouldn’t be their next project. And they kept their word, releasing Beyond: Two Souls for the PS3 in 2013. However, it looks like Kara’s story isn’t finished, as the android will star in Quantic Dream’s first game for the PS4, Detroit.

In a post on the PlayStation Blog, developer David Cage talked a bit about Detroit, which will feature Kara’s awakening as a new kind of artificial intelligence and what ramifications that might have for humanity:

[W]e imagined our world in a near future where androids like Kara would look, speak, and move like real human beings. We wondered how we — humans — would react if we were confronted with a new form of intelligence, how androids conceived as machines would be perceived if they started to have emotions.

We didn’t want to do another story on AI (there are already so many great ones), we wanted to talk about what it means to be human and what it would be like to be in the shoes of an android discovering our world and their own emotions…

Detroit is currently without a release date, but its debut trailer has been embedded above. Take my advice, drop everything you’re doing and watch it right now.

Quantic Dream reveals “Kara” tech demo, but it’s NOT their next game

Posted on March 10, 2012 by John Scalzo

Quantic Dream (and it’s founder, David Cage) is known for thinking outside the box. With the development of their most recent game, Heavy Rain, they created a title that was unlike almost anything else on the market at the time. It won a ton of awards and is the driving force between the fundamental different between the PS3 and the Xbox 360 as platforms.

Since then, we haven’t heard much from the company. But now they’re back and they’ve created a brand new engine and performance-capture procedure to power their next title. The video above, Kara, is the result of a test of their new engine. But it is NOT Quantic Dream’s next title. Which is too bad, because Kara’s world sounds extremely interesting.

Kara may not be a game, but it is a fine piece of short filmmaking. Just be sure and have a box of tissues ready.
