It does look intriguing though.

I find it absolutely hilarious that GT was by far the biggest fail of the show. What a waste of time. No wonder it takes them 100 years to release a game, if they have to wait for this guy to finish talking all the time, while looking at the history of the wheel. What the hell was that.
But I must say, this was the presentation that sold me PSVR. Nice one.

That was so unbelievably amazing to watch I am now hugely impressed that they manage to ship any games at all!

I think Android wanting to be a human is a very common theme.
I watched Time of Eve recently with "uncanny" similarity.

Suck it Dave Cage. Now you have to top Until Dawn which was, you know, actually hugely well received.And had no pretentious narrative about the power of emotions.
edit: I was going to suggest drinking game where you take a shot every time he mentions emotion but I'd die of alcohol poisoning.
True that. I'd certainly like an interactive experience as tightly written and smart as Alex Garland's Ex Machina, but we'll probably have to settle for something as insufferably sappy as Spielberg's A.I. That is if we're lucky.

I loved "Ex Machina" as a film too but that said, it doesn't rise much above the typical "woman as evil" trope. I think that "Under The Skin" did a better job of avoiding the pitfalls so let's hope the game turns out more like that?
Under the skin?? The book was weird, the film I have no idea how people would understand it without having read the book. Still, both of them pretty irrelevant here in my opinion.
What? The AI literally did nothing wrong in that movie, it did everything in order to survive, where's the evil motive? I think you are looking a bit too much into it.
If David Cage continues to talk about his game like it's the next 2001, I'll talk about my expectations as if I'm an annoying and pretentious film historian. Let me put my monocle.
*ahem*
I have mixed feelings about another David Cage game. He is good at creating interesting characters and moods, involving us emotionally very quickly, he is unique in the game industry and I am glad he still makes games. But he is incapable of resolving themes correctly or even choosing them. Heavy Rain worked well, it focused on characters, very nice direction, and it's one of my all time favorite gaming experiences. But the pretentious themes of Beyond Two Souls were so bad it made me stop caring about the characters at all. Nothing made any sense in the third act. Metaphors are supposed to be developed as metaphors, so that they help define characters and resolve the grand themes he chose. Beliefs are also supposed to define characters, their world view, their culture, hopes, dreams... All the metaphysical elements in Beyond were nothing more than cheezy writer's crutches taking up all the space in the third act. He materialized beliefs and materialized metaphors, so he lost human nature.
Detroit main question is "What is it that makes us human?"
If he at least takes into account our current knowledge about artificial intelligence, what we know about the brain chemistry, evolution, and specially anthropology, then it could be something great. If it's a wild aimless artsy emotional tangent, I will pass. This time around, any amount of metaphysics, other than zero, will doom the theme development. I'm worried here only because of Beyond.
This kind of story was done so many times in all artistic mediums, for every age groups, and every intellectual levels. From Isaac Asimov, to Lilo and Stitch, and everything inbetween, I don't know how it can be anything but derivative.

Was that even real time?
To you, it was the worst hangover in your life. To me, it was Tuesday.

The answer is in the gameplay!
And it was Rutger Hauer. I immediatley recognized him with his opening line "I've seen things...". Great Blade Runner nod.
Replicants saw the wonders of NMS.

No way man, Split Second as Rutger fights a right devil rat in a flooded London.
