Well, then – that's our predictions out of the window already. There's mounting speculation that Detroit: Become Human may appear during Sony's E3 2016 press conference next week – evidenced by a tweet by Kinda Funny co-founder Greg Miller, who confirmed the title for its Tuesday live stream. You may want to pull that one, Mr. Miller.
We'd assumed that Kara and her cyborg cronies would be saved for Gamescom 2016 later in the year, but in hindsight, this is guaranteed to be a looker – and the kind of thing that's likely to shine on stage. More to the point, David Cage is a brilliant public speaker; he could read a speech about the Earth being flat, and we'd probably believe him.
We're pretty excited to see this one. The premise – robots that believe they're real – is well worn at this point, but the Parisian developer at the helm has a je ne sais quoi that rarely fails to excite us.

So glad they're doing something with this. The tech demo blew me away and had more story than most games out there. Valorie Curry elevated it from a tech demo to a true performance, and I'm so incredibly glad they're bringing her back for this.
I loved the themes present in the Swedish Äkta människor, a great tv series, Hopefully this lives up to it
We can have a sweepstake on how many times David Cage says "emotions"
adf86 If by sweepstakes you mean drinking game count me in.
Oh well, there goes my Binary Domain sequel, this looks more Asimov than Woo.
I forgot about this game but like the games company. I would rather we see games shown which are less than a year away from release.
Nice! We're looking forward to this one.
Reminded me of the E4 series 'Humans'! I can't stand David Cage or his games so I can't say this appeals or has an original concept.
Maybe some actual game-play may change my opinion but I won't be holding my breath...
@get2sammyb Talking bout Greg Miller; did you listen to the latest PS I love you XOXO already, the no1 PS podcast in the world?? Haha, must have been good for the ego Sammy.
I don't know exactly why, but it had me cheering in the car
@Boerewors Haha, they've mentioned us a few times now. It's great to hear that Colin and Greg are familiar with the site - I'm a massive fan of their work!
@get2sammyb It's like they have a soft spot for what you're achieving here mate, it's well deserved.
I feel a bit guilty about this, I was looking forward to it so much for six months, then since have forgotten it even existed. I just want David Cage to come over and do Eastenders and Corrie!
I would ask whether the robots believing they're real is well worn though? In mainstream media anyway. Does I Robot count? If anyone has suggestions I'd love to hear them. Always up for new stories etc
I totally forgot about this, can't wait to see if they added some actual game play to the demo, or if its still just CGI.
@BowTiesAreCool Blade Runner, Dr. Who season 6, Binary Domain, Battlestar Galactaca reboot series, probably a bunch of anime stuff like Ghost in the Shell or Astroboy, I know there's bit and pieces of others in my head but I'm old and it's late
I think Sony owes Jennifer Lawrence a check.
@rjejr ALright alright! Haha so there have been maybe two in mainstream media! I just meant I think there's some life in the idea yet (for the masses anyway). You're mistaken with Doctor Who though.I've never heard of Binary Domain and anime is...anime. I've heard good thing about the BG reboot though!
@BowTiesAreCool Flesh = robot, close enough. Not for Pond maybe, that was just an extension of her consciousness, like in the Avatar film, but for the factory worker crew brought to life, some of them thought they were real when they weren't. Like the woman dropping the plate hot out of the microwave. And Rory the Centurion Auton from the end of season 5.
The first 16 episodes of BG was some of the best stuff I'd ever seen on TV, then they got all political and jumped the shark with their Iraq invasion storyline or whatever the heck that was. First 16 still hold up though.
@rjejr Yeah I knew there were no examples on DW. But Flesh=robot close enough...that means you're already on Kara's side? I wanna shut that sh*t down! The Matrix is real, man!
@BowTiesAreCool Saw the Dr. marry River last night - we're just a few years behind now - robots are everywhere.
