It's much closer to HR so you should enjoy it. I'll ask John "DF" about super-sampling and will let you know.

The demo had supersampling so i would guess yes. Also isn't this issue fixed? There is a specific supersumpling option in the ps4 menus now.

I woulnd't know, I don't own a 1080p TV. As far as I know, it doesn't show in the menu when playing on a 4K set.

Edit: John tells me there is always super-sampling on Pro since you can now force it, so it doesn't matter whether or not it is supported natively.

I'm really excited for this. It's been a while since i played a narrative focused choice based game. Last one i played was until dawn, didn't play life is strange or any recent telltale game.

I may skip the stream, I expect spoilers there

Not more than in our videos here. I mean, I plan to focus on the very beginning of the game anyway and avoid the chapters in which important plot elements are revealed.

Looks like you guys forgot to translate one of the negatives? ;)

Also what's bad if it parallels the civil rights movement?

It's not very subtle. I mean, that's a period I've always been interested in and I wish the game had not tried to mimic what happened so much at times. But maybe that's just me. :)

I can understand the complaint since there's so much room and so many good stories on AI right now (Westworld, Ex Machina, etc), but it's also an unfortunate part of our history that we sort of just repeat our mistakes. There's many prime examples right now

It's believable that AI could head in that direction too

Absolutely, it's not the problem I have with the analogy, it actually makes sense. It's just that I think they didn't need to mimic the iconic figures of the time.

You have played it and I haven't tbh though :)

It might be more egregious than I'm even aware of

What do you mean they should give this type of game to a fresh team? Who? Sony? The only other aaa studio that has made a game like this was Supermassive with until dawn and the only thing new they brought was the relationship stats but mechanically it was way worse than QD's games. The action sequences in until dawn were just press one button here and there a few times with a lot less choices compared to Detroit. I agree mechanically detroit doesn't bring a lot of new stuff to the genre but they have expanded choices a lot though. One mechanic that i noticed Detroit doesn't have but heavy rain did is the move slow type qte. There were a few scenes i wish they had that

It would be great if in the next game they mix in some traditional mechanics with the qtes. Like some actual 3rd person shooting or driving sections. I definitely want some more involved detective stuff

I'm a couple of hours in now. Positives: graphics, facial animation, well defined characters, great acting, flow chart.
Negatives; Not an original story, not subtle enough, limited freedom (you notice being pushed), still no good controls (why don't they make it like a real third person game?).
In general: it's a way better game than Beyond. I'm enjoying it and I'm looking forward to the consequences of my choices. The most interesting character to me is Marcus. I do think they should give this type of game to a fresh team. David Cage is not evolving enough and it could use some fresh air and a willingness to make changes. A diffrent writer could lift it up to something great; different approach to the control scheme could make it feel less 'directed'.
If you liked Heavy Rain, this game shouldn't be missed though.

Detroit had something along the lines of 6 writers and from what I understand David Cage wasn't as involved as you may think. He stuck predominantly to driecting instead.

The opening credits still say "written by David Cage" only.

Yeah i don't recall Cage saying that he wasn't as involved as before but yet i ve seen a lot of people think that. I think the only difference is that he's not the only writer on Detroit

Still haven't finished the game and yes the story is not something original but why is that such a problem? Between books, tv shows, movies etc very very few subjects haven't been covered. The story in Detroit is basically about AI and what makes a human. This subject has been done before and better too but the game/choice aspect is what still makes it interesting. Also the characters are done well which is what i care most

I ve seen some yt playthroughs where they made different choices than me and it confirmed my suspicion. Even if it's done a lot better than previous games there are still choice combinations that just don't work as well as others. I had scenes that were amazing for me but not so good for others and vice versa. Still impressed with how its done though. Thinking about how this game works sounds like a nightmare to make, no wonder it took them almost 5 years to make
