Even though many players felt that Detroit: Become Human would have many endings as they played.
But after finishing the game once, players went online to search for guides, wanting to see what other endings there were and how to achieve them, and many players were shocked.
Because there were so many endings and branches, different choices and actions that were similar to QTEs would determine the final endings of each character.
Of course, most of them did not seem very good.
For example, there was one path that many players considered the true ending. In this path, Markus would sacrifice his life during the protest march.
And it was precisely because of Markus's sacrifice that Connor was also affected, causing him to become a deviant android and inherit Markus's last wish, leading the androids to continue their fight.
In this path, there were many points that left a deep impression on players, such as Connor's sadness in the ship's cabin of Jericho when he saw his peace-loving friend sacrifice himself.
And the spontaneous words when he helped Kara leave.
"I used to hunt you. But back then, I was a machine. I didn't understand! Now I understand everything!"
This also reminded many players of the game's title, Detroit: Become Human. From being a cold-blooded robot investigating deviant androids at the beginning, Connor slowly and truly became human.
And this made players feel more.
After all, both Markus and Kara directly became deviant androids in the early stages.
But only with Connor did the player personally experience how he went from a robot that only knew how to follow orders to a deviant android.
Especially the ending where he stood on the podium after the final struggle and gave a speech in place of Markus, which left countless players feeling shocked.
In this storyline, Connor also learned of CyberLife's conspiracy.
They planned the android revolution and predicted that Connor could become the leader.
And now this company intends to control Connor, the leader, to control the androids who have already gained freedom.
So, on the podium, while he still had control over his body, Connor took out his pistol.
Because he understood that he could still struggle now, but one day he would be controlled by CyberLife.
So, to prevent the androids from returning to the past again, Connor took out the pistol again and pointed it at his chin.
A bullet pierced the boundary between life and death.
As an android, every time he died before, he could reappear vibrantly in front of his partner Hank a few days later, scaring him.
But this time was different. He would never come back.
All kinds of path guides and so on were constantly being discovered and summarized by players.
Actually, the game itself did not have any officially designated ending.
No matter which ending it was, it was closely related to the player's choices and all logical.
However, for players, they obviously had their own favorite endings.
And the ending where most people survived was called the perfect ending by many players.
As for the more brutal ending in the game where Markus sacrificed himself and Connor ended his life with a pistol.
Although many players thought this was the true ending, many others disliked it, as this ending was a great tragedy.
While the story of Detroit: Become Human was gaining popularity.
Correspondingly, a background element in the game also sparked much discussion among players.
As an interactive movie game, Detroit: Become Human not only told a good story and showcased new brainwave technology.
The game's background and corresponding social relationships also became points of attention for many players. After all, with the development of society, artificial intelligence has entered all walks of life.
Transportation, healthcare, gaming, etc., all bear the imprint of artificial intelligence.
However, the androids in the game were obviously much more advanced.
What's more, the game did not have the player assume the role of a human, but rather from the perspective of an android.
This gave players a sense of misplacement, and many players discussed the story online.
"It would be great to have androids in real life! I would never abuse them like the people in the game!"
"But if you think about it carefully, it's quite unreasonable. Because the androids in the game are very low-end products, and they can be mass-produced. You can see from magazines that androids like Kara only sell for $899. That's not even as expensive as a phone!"
"Logically, it's probably because they are too cheap that they are abused, right? Think about how you treat your phone. When you first buy it, you handle it with care, put on screen protectors, cases, and even charge it properly. But after using it for a while, you just throw it on the bed, charge it without caring if it hurts the machine, charge it when it's out of battery, and unplug it whenever you want to use it."
"Damn, who are you? Did you install a monitor on me?"
"this is too real!"
"But honestly, I really want an android like North."
"????????? You want an android? I won't even talk about what you want!"
"No lewdness allowed!"
"By the way, there are many scenes in the game that are very meaningful. Have you noticed?"
"Yes, yes, the park and plaza in Markus's storyline at the beginning were really sharply divided. One side was warm colors, and the other was cold colors, creating a feeling of heaven and hell!"
Many players were discussing the topic of Detroit: Become Human online.
And the discussions kept expanding, even including some colleges and social magazines that were discussing the matter.
As these topics spread, Lucas, in the offices of Nebula Games, was being interviewed by a media outlet.
Media interviews were not surprising for Nebula Games.
However, this time the interview was not with an economic or gaming media outlet.
But a domestic media outlet focused on science and society, which had considerable popularity.
Of course, it was not truly professional, and it still had some entertainment value.
This was also the reason why Lucas accepted the invitation.
After all, it was the first time, which was quite novel.
In the office, a young female reporter held a voice recorder and was interviewing Lucas.
"Boss Lucas, what are your thoughts on the future development of artificial intelligence? Is the future in your mind the same as in Detroit: Become Human?"
Listening to her words, Lucas smiled and shook his head: "Naturally not. In fact, many people have a misconception. Although the background of Detroit: Become Human is a futuristic world, it is not a vision of the future, but rather a reflection and exploration of modern society and the past."
"If you think about it, the background of Detroit: Become Human itself cannot stand up to scrutiny. Just like in some commercial sci-fi movies, facing all sorts of advanced alien technology, humans still defeat the alien invasion with their bare bodies and backward weapons. This itself is very unreasonable."
"It's the same in Detroit: Become Human. Why in the game's future world, why would the androids carrying heavy objects need to be in human form, instead of a mechanical form that is better for carrying objects?"
Lucas said slowly with a smile to the interviewer.
Listening to Lucas's words, the reporter sitting on the sofa looked confused.
The topic did not seem to be going in the intended direction!
Of course, this was also because it was her first time interacting with Lucas. If it were media outlets like Game Cosmos that had close contact with Lucas before, they would understand something at this moment, which is: Boss Lucas is tricking you.
