Paris Games Week: David Cage Reveals Detroit Trailer

Sony’s press conference finished on a high note, as David Cage, of Quantic Dreams, announced a new game called Detroit: Become Human.

Detroit is based on the character Kara, the female android featured in a tech demo Quantic created in 2012. Apparently, fans were so intrigued by this emotional demo, that Cage decided to tell Kara’s story – the tale of an android that wants to live.

The Detroit trailer doesn’t offer any insight into gameplay, but it is cinematic and emotional. It’s on familiar territory for anyone who saw the UK show, Humans – a story of lifelike androids trying to find their place in a prejudiced society.

Quantic Dreams is good at emotion and Detroit looks like it’ll have plenty of that. Cage did mention that player choices will have consequences, but no word on QTE and no release date. Detroit: Become Human is a PlayStation 4 exclusive.

Chella hails from the UK and joined Gameindustry.com around the year 2000. It was so many moons ago, she can't quite remember. Back then, the only women you saw in the games industry were in bikinis and vertiginous heels at trade shows - oh how times have changed, kind of. Chella started as a humble reviewer, but soon became our European Correspondent and keeps us on top of industry happenings across the Pond. She tends to like the weird Japanese games we've never heard of, so that's good for making us look all-encompassing and stuff. Chella does like games, so don't be fooled by the copious amount of columns devoted to bemoaning the lack of variety in the industry. When she's not surfing (the sea, not the internet) or camping up mountains, Chella likes a good action RPG (especially if it's sci-fi), anything with a good narrative and like we said, the weirder the better. She's also a regular in the GiN Lounge, but that's just because we like her accent.
