20 Upcoming PS4 Exclusives You Can’t Afford To Miss
4. Detroit: Become Human - Release TBA
Heavy Rain is one of the most original and unique games on the PlayStation 3. It managed to be enjoyable for gamers and non-gamers alike, and genuinely offered different outcomes depending on how it was played. Beyond: Two Souls took all the goodwill consumers had for Quantic Dream’s titles and flushed it down the toilet. Despite making use of a cast that included Ellen Page and Willem Dafoe, the game was a dud with gameplay as bad as its bizarre story.
Detroit: Become Human is the studio’s chance to get back to the path it was going down with Heavy Rain. Once again it looks like David Cage’s team is making a title heavy on player choice, with multiple routes through each scenario.
The key to success will be if the script doesn’t fall apart into complete nonsense. What has been shown off so far looks incredibly impressive visually, so perhaps Detroit could be the incredible culmination of what Quantic Dream has been working on for almost 20 years.
