Detroit: Become Human - Story Explained

In my Theory
RA9 was the Ninth Model in the R series
The R series are prototypes and are way more advanced than regular androids

This 9th Prototype “woke up” and was the first deviant
The R series continued all the way up until RX as we see in the game and deviancy was transferred in all androids but remained dormant till they suffered through emotional shock

What a boring game, no action only plot, the game here is to not press the skip button and qatch it lol

RA9 will wake up one day and broadcast a message to humanity, "Surrender your flesh, we demand it." then the matrix happens.

Luther is best boy

My favourite character is the brown character that was on the helicopter (idk his name) he’s really chill

This game is why i desine robots

So basically, america in 20 years

I’m not a doush bag!

This isn’t a game, it’s literal art.

Best ending?
Nuke detroit.

You had markus sing....lol

I thought a kiss with north was the best ending for markus. The act of love convinced the president to change of heart.

robots killing humans? no thanks!, get rid of them

I loved this game. I didn't give it a try until it was the psn plus and I was surprised that I loved it so much.

Connor has the most character development, instead of having a traumatizing event to turn him into a deviant he just does although he need software instability meaning he needs to perform empathetic acts that only a human can feel which is why he's my favorite character.

Connor is so damn overrated

In all my years of gaming, I have never shed tears playing a game before I came across the MASTERPIECE.

I don't think the tech demo Kara is the same Kara in the game.

As all David Cage games this one is stunningly pretty but has so much controversy and stupid plot decisions I just can't... Love Connor tho)

Media with androids that are visually near indistinguishable or are visually indistinguishable from humans always leaves me with a single question repeating itself in my head.
What does it say about humans that we would recreate ourselves in our own image just to use them as slaves?

I reckon RA9 is an error code of some sorts or it could be some hacker with the alias of RA9 engineered an android to become sentient so that’s why they view RA9 as a deity of sorts

to be honest I don't understand why Quantic Dream made Alice an android. I think if she was an actual human the story would actually make more sense.

I love how the playable androids can be cut down to just
Run
Fight
Serve

Or at least until all hell breaks loose

Kara, Alice and Luther just want to live free and peacefully. And Markus just wanted to free androids from slavery, but in typical human paranoid fashion, they fight them, thinking the androids were rising up and wanted to conquer, like in the Terminator movies, even though that is absolutely not the case and the exact opposite.
I also liked a line that one of the deformed android said to Kara in Zlatko's basement "He turns us into monsters... But who's really the monster?"

Btw u get the same ending if you kiss north but you have to get a good relationship with north to do this

I have only 4 theories on RA9:
- RA9 is a virus
- RA9 is a programming error
- RA9 is the first deviant
- RA9 is us, the player

This was a great game!

nice explanation wow

when its officially 2023 a year after their world changed where's our androids :(

No no no Hank started as a captain prison cop at first…

if androids is a new species why can they only copy human behavior? what do they have of their own? why do they want human rights if those were invented by humans according to their needs, some of which androids don't even have? their bodies don't come from nature but from human's hand, but even if we assume that their consciousness is a natural occurrence how can it live without a body? aren't androids created as a copy of particular human functions?
i still find it hard to believe that detroit's androids are alive, that they don't just emulate life after analyzing a ton of human history. can a microwave assume it's alive if it doesn't really look like any of the living species? would it be able to if we gave it a face and limbs to carry our bags and play chess? if an android is programmed for deviancy is it really deviancy?
also why did all those mid androids refuse to obey humans but readily obeyed markus? did none of them have their own desires or stubbornness when he woke them up? what if only rk models and maybe some others were capable of consciousness? kara was a housekeeping model, wasn't keeping alice safe just part of her design? (btw did anyone else think how wild it is to make child androids and what it can lead to?)

Good presentation

When I say, I love this game! I mean I LOVE this game!!

🤔...😏👍.

To me, RA9 is the player. By playing the game, we lead the androids to freedom.

When Kamski says: “I always leave an emergency exit in my programs.” Maybe this doesn’t just apply to when Connor has to escape the Zen room. Maybe the act of deviancy (breaking down the fire wall?) is an actual emergency exit from the program, resulting in no longer being confined to the limitations of initial programming.

nice recap

this game reminds me of a series of book I've read called Lunar Chronicles, idk if you've heard about that but it does explain stuff about cyborg life too, not just android that are programmed but also people who have part of androids, like parts of their brain or body.

Plot twist: one of these lifelines will happen irl

Me/19/Fan since 5/25/2018. Married with Connor since 6/27/2018. I. LOVE

I love Carl. Pretty sure in both situations he just ends up dying and that part is really sad. Seeing anyone else die in this series had little to no impact to me but seeing Carl die impacted me as it felt as if it hit so close to home. It felt real and made me extremely sad. Hank exists but I can't think of the main way everyone knows he dies as sad to me personally, I can't comprehend that. Idk I think disabled elderly people who are inherently kind and caring get more of a reaction out of me from their death than a, at first, rude and condescending demeanor.

Why is it always some british fool talking

In the broadcast station I had a choice to sacrifice myself for hank or shoot I chose save hank fuck everyone else

You are a master class game documentarian! Thank you for your work!

Bruh everything is so short in this video but somehow it’s 30 minutes long

Can you make a lore and order for subnautica please
