Scenes I Love: The Opening of Detroit: Become Human


The opening of David Cage’s video game, Detroit: Become Human, always gets me in the mood to either put down the machines or overthrow the humans.  When I first played this game, my decisions led to Connor going over the roof with the deviant android. I was worried that the game had ended before it had even began but luckily, it turned out there was always a replacement Connor.

As for Kara being purchased by Todd and being driven to her new home, it is one of the strongest cut-scenes that I’ve ever seen.  I know some players who have decided not to kill Todd while escaping his home because they think he’ll turn over a new leaf if and when he shows up in the game later.  Don’t count on it.

 

4 Shots From 4 David Cage Games


4 Shots From 4 Films is just what it says it is, 4 shots from 4 of our favorite films. As opposed to the reviews and recaps that we usually post, 4 Shots From 4 Films is all about letting the visuals do the talking.

Today is the birthday of video game director, David Cage.  Though Cage is a controversial figure, I’ve always enjoyed his games.  Detroit: Become Human is one of the most replayable films that I’ve ever come across.  (During the COVID lockdowns, I discovered how much fun it was to overthrow human society.)  Heavy Rain’s mystery was intriguing and any player who says he didn’t feel a sense of accomplishment after winning the sex scene minigame is lying.

Here are four shots from four games!
