Detroit is the site of a new industrial revolution in Detroit:
Become Human, a game about life -- human life, artificial life, and everything in between -- from
Quantic Dream, the makers of
Heavy Rain and
Beyond: Two Souls.
This project was originally shown to the world as a demo referred to as "
KARA", which presents a futuristic encounter with an android character who is brought to life before your eyes. The original technical demonstration (which at the time ran on
PlayStation 3 hardware; the full game project has been commenced instead on
PlayStation 4 consoles) used Quantic Dream's advanced motion capture, animation and lighting technology.
Detroit: Become Human is an upcoming neo-noir thriller video game developed by Quantic Dream and published by
Sony Interactive Entertainment for the PlayStation 4. The plot revolves around several playable characters, all of whom are androids.
Cage said setting a game in a real city is "a very sensitive thing" and that it was important to him and his team that it was done "in a very respectful way."
"[Detroit] has its own history; there are people living there. They love their city," he said. "You need to pay attention to that and be respectful and not just use what you want to use for a game."
Cage credited that history as what made him fall in love with Detroit and choose it as the setting for Become Human.
"It was an industrial giant in the
20th century and then it went through very hard times," Cage explained. "And now it's trying to be reborn again somehow
. ... This idea of being very high and losing everything and coming back is so strong and it's such a human story.
Cage also mentioned its history of racial issues, in addition to
Motown and "all the great artists" that contribute to the city's culture. However, Cage said you can't write about a city without going there. He noted that you could research it on the
Internet and find pictures on
Google, but you don't "feel the place, you don't know the people" that way.
"We visited the abandoned factories, the abandoned churches that everybody knows," Cage said. "But at the same time we saw some wonderful things, we met some incredible people.
The Fox Theatre, for example, in Detroit is one of the most amazing places
I've seen.
"
The people there are full of energy and they're struggling and they're fighting, but they're revitalizing this city in a very interesting way. And all this combined, we came back from Detroit, thinking, '
Yeah, this is the place where we want this story to happen.'"
Detroit: Become Human releases exclusively for the
PS4, but its release date has not been announced.
