So 5 millions are on PS4? Crazy.

 

[makaveli60]

I have it both in physical and digital yet still haven’t played it, despite loving Quantic Dream’s games. Somehow other games always got in the way. Soon...

 

[rofif]

Has some good parts but it's the worst QD game. The nazi camps pondering... just omg why.
This is the only game I've sold on ps4.
Fahrenheit remains my fav game of theirs

 

[meech]

Good sales, for such type of game. I liked it, have all trophies.

 

[GuinGuin]

Makes you wonder why they jumped ship from Sony and all their free promotion and advertising.

 

[Skifi28]

I thought it was their best work yet, but I still didn't expect these numbers.

 

[GuinGuin]

I found it to be their only good game. I couldn't get more than an hour into any of the others. They were just bad.

Beyond Two Souls is worse in my estimation. All of QD's stuff is trash though beyond the opening of Fahrenheit.

 

[SilentUser]

Surprised by those numbers, they are pretty good. Played it, finished it and I'm considering to play it again to make different decisions. Great game!

I wonder if this includes PS+. I know the game sold well, but I don't think it sold that well.

 

[Revolutionary]

I bought it twice (PS4 and Steam). No ragrets.

 

[Unknown?]

I wonder if this includes PS+. I know the game sold well, but I don't think it sold that well.

Usually PS+ doesn't count in sells though.

This may require a fresh save/profile, but

Spoiler

in the very beginning, when controlling Kara and you're supposed to go to help Alice upstairs, don't - you'll get a game over, but I think you'll be pleasantly surprised when starting the game again

Seriously! Plus the in house help they were getting from some of Sony's support teams.

Huh? I did that in my first playthrough...

Spoiler

...and I didn't get a "game over". The story continued normally, just without Kara.

Ah sorry. Remembered wrong, you don't get a game over. But if you restart the game (which I did, because I realized I had fucked up - I was waiting for a "press X to Alice" prompt)

Spoiler

the main menu android, can't recall her name, really lets you have it. Like "how could you!". I found that hilarious.

It doesn't. Game was on PS+ 2 years ago. Anyway, just a year ago

Detroit: Become Human has sold over 5m copies

Detroit: Become Human has sold over five million units, according to a press release from developer Quantic Dream.The g…

3.2 million copies sold, and it's about to launch on the PC.

Nice. Congrats to Quantic Dream.

 

[Nico_D]

Deserved. An amazing game. Edge of the seat stuff.

The opening of that game was fantastic. It fell of a cliff pretty fast tho.

 

[ethomaz]

PS+ doesn't count as sales I believe.

 

[Captain Toad]

The best Quantic Dreams game, but not as good as Until Dawn.

 

[kunonabi]

I'd put it second behind omikron. If Marcus's story wasn't so bad post-junkyard it could have been something truly special.

 

[blastprocessor]

They need to do a sequel incredible success for the team.

 

[Elbow Identity Shallow]

Makes you wonder why they jumped ship from Sony and all their free promotion and advertising.

They had ambitions to transform into a publishing studio, which they've at least started doing now. I'm not sure how easy it will be for them, it does seem like they were spoiled while producing games for PlayStation as they were given a lot of time and money to produce what are still relatively risky games.

 

[Putonahappyface]

Loved Detroit Become Human, easily my favourite game by Quantic Dreams so far. Heavy Rain and Beyond Two Souls were awesome too. I look forward to there future projects.

 

[MasterCornholio]

Not bad at all. I thought it did much worse.

 

[Bernd Lauert]

Well deserved. One of my favorite PS4 games.

 

[TransTrender]

Wow, that's a lot.
Without any research that sounds like their most successful game to date.

 

[mckmas8808]

The best Quantic Dreams game, but not as good as Until Dawn.

I wish Sony could get a few teams to make games like these again.

 

[MOTM]

Was obsessed with it until I reached the underground android camp. For some reason the magic suddenly wore off and I never picked it up again.

 

[Aenima]

Detroit is the best game from Quantic Dream and deserves the good sales it got. Would play a spinoff just with Connor and Hank. The duo was hilarious.

 

[Elbow Identity Shallow]

I've enjoyed all of their games but I think more than any other I've actually enjoyed Heavy Rain. It had a lot of issues with it but when it got things right it just felt so good to me.
The Taxidermist expansion was all kinds of "NOPE!!" for me!

 

[Buggy Loop]

Keeps crashing for me on PC and what a missed opportunity for ultrawide support when Beyond two souls does support it and that a small fan patch fix the problem. But the crashing persists even at native without patches, devs are not showing any signs of working on it.

 

[Lone Wolf]

Who owns the IP?

 

[Certinty]

One of the best experiences I had on the PS4. Would love somewhat of a sequel.

 

[mckmas8808]

Who owns the IP?

I would think QD right?

 

[ReBurn]

One of my top PS4 games. I enjoyed it. A game where decisions actually matter.

 

[LectureMaster]

Well deserved. I really enjoy David Cage's games. Detroit is my favorite.

 

[yazenov]

Pleasantly surprised by the split.

 

[Mr Moose]

Nice, I enjoyed my time with it.

Who owns the IP?

I think Sony own it, I could be wrong though.

From what I understand they had a 3 game contract. Then they asked if they could release it on PC, Sony said yes.
I could be talking out of my ass.

This ever release on Steam?

Yes but now they are going it solo for their next project.

Yeah, 3 game contract.
Heavy Rain, Beyond: Two Souls, Detroit: Become Human.
I look forward to see what they do next.

 

[ShadowNate]

That's good. It's a great game. Probably the most mature work that Quantic Dream has done.

NetEase purchased a stake in the company so it may likely be a combination of those things.
