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."
Detroit: Become Human - Tokyo Stories, a new comic inspired by the 2018 universe created by Quantic Dream. This first volume, finally translated into English by publisher Yen Press, follows the story of Reina – an android idol who’s attracted fame and helped change the public’s perception of robots.
Elon Musk and Tesla have unveiled the Tesla Optimus robot, and just like that, we're one stop closer to Detroit: Become Human.
...this has got to be a joke, the thing looks like it was put together by me when comparing it to something from Boston Dynamics from 20 years ago. They might make good Halloween decorations though as they move more like an animatronic from Spirit Halloween
Is N4G a place to promote a conman now?
I disagree. BD is pretty scripted. This is using AI to act. Not the same thing. If you don't like Elon what about Figure 01, 02? Same general concept.
I'm talking about the "robots" ability to do anything, Boston Dynamics have proof of concept and what they build does what they say, the Musk just has an extremely curated video of robots shuffling around like a 90yo. I can see why this presentation tanked Teslas stock price by $60billion.
The dumbass even thought his bus was a good idea, a vehicle that's meant to be mass transit has no ground clearance and they boxed the wheels in making it turn poorly or wasting massive amounts of space on the interior.
I think it's ahead of Boston dynamics in terms of being a product. Like I said prescripted is not really the same thing as thats not really particularly useful, at least in the human form.
AI is also pre-scripted, just more advance. there is a reason you keep getting new version of chat GPT. trained more, better data, algo improved.
It's just a fancier way of pre-scripted. its still limited to what is trained on, how its train, and generative capabilites are limited to how its written.
Detroit: Become Human has officially sold over 10 million copies, making it the second most popular choice-and-consequence game after The Witcher 3, which sold over 50 million copies.
"making it the second most popular choice-and-consequence game after The Witcher 3"
Stupidest line I have heard in a long time from a gaming article.
I enjoy all genres of video games including action adventures, RPGs, beat ‘em ups, FPS and choice and consequence games.
"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
