Detroit: Become Human
Rise of the planet of the AIA neo-noir thriller destined to stir
controversy. In the latest footage, a
semi-autonomous robot maid
directed by the player has to
intervene in child abuse. Detroit explores heavy
issues with its multi-lead story: elsewhere, an
android leads a machine revolution with
obvious parallels to the civil rights struggle. It’ll
need a sensitive hand to prevent trivialising
such complex topics. Graphically, though,
there’s no question of quality. New strides in
wrinkle simulation and real-time skin
translucency marry to a motion capture system
allowing six actors to perform simultaneously.
The results, at least from a cinematic
perspective, are wholly authentic.
