10 Valid Concerns About 2018's Biggest Video Games
6. Detroit: Become Human's Story/Writing Quality
A fair bit is riding on Detroit: Become Human. Developed by Quantic Dreams, the game is going to attempt to rebuild the studio's somewhat tarnished reputation. Depending on who you asked, Beyond: Two Souls wasn't a very good game and that was released five years ago. Since then, they've been working diligently on Detroit.
Detroit: Become Human looks to follow in the footsteps of Quantic Dream's previous games in that it's almost an interactive film. The players' choices will determine the fates of the characters and likely the story's outcome too.
However, if it's anything like Beyond: Two Souls, the story will be lacklustre and the characters weak. The game has been in development for quite a while - during this time, a number of controversies have also flouted Quantic Dream.
It's a big PlayStation exclusive, but its biggest draw is story. If other PS4 games are doing story better, than that renders Detroit obsolete. Whether Quantic Dream have managed to pull it off and the game can stand toe-to-toe with other big name releases is something we will have to see when it releases soon.
