Sony used Paris Games Week to announce Quantic Dream’s first PS4 game, Detroit.
As studio head David Cage explained on the PlayStation Blog, Detroit is based off of a PS3 demo released in 2012 called Kara. The game will focus on an android named Kara who can feel emotions and appears to be a sentient being.
While not yet officially confirmed, it appears that Kara will be once again be portrayed by The Following‘s Valorie Curry, above.
“[W]e imagined our world in a near future where androids like Kara would look, speak, and move like real human beings. We wondered how we — humans — would react if we were confronted with a new form of intelligence, how androids conceived as machines would be perceived if they started to have emotions,” Cage said of the game.
“We didn’t want to do another story on AI (there are already so many great ones), we wanted to talk about what it means to be human and what it would be like to be in the shoes of an android discovering our world and their own emotions.”
A release date for Detroit, a PS4 exclusive, has not yet been announced.
