Detroit- Become Human
(Sony Playstation, 2019)
Don't expect Ridley Scott, cause both his 'Bladerunner" epics are in an untouchable league of their own...
Sony though (at least going by the previews) does appear to have helped themselves to sizeable chunks of the Bladerunner narrative in their new Ps4 offering "Detroit- Become Human."
That would include Scott's origional premise of "Replicants" indistinguishable from humans (minus a soul), and a more than probable android versus human rebellion circa 2038, though this is only hinted at on the company website.
After poking around said website, my takeaway on "Detroit- Become Human" is of a thoughtfully concieved but less edgy clean up of Scott's visceraly jagged yet stunningly perfect near future vision...a race of mirror image biomachines who may well not be quite so pleased to see us, as we are to see them...
And from The Sony preview website:
"Founded in 2018 by Elijah Kamski to create lifelike Androids, CyberLife is the world’s first trillion dollar company.
In 2020, the prototype Chloe was the first Android to ever successfully pass the Turing test – exhibiting intelligent behaviour equivalent to, or indistinguishable from, that of a human.
Now in 2038, Androids number in the millions.
They can be housekeepers, receptionists, operators, police officers, university lecturers, gardeners, soldiers or even quarterbacks… whatever their owner desires..."
