Cinematic Influence in Detroit: Become Human

Many newer video games coming out are heavily influenced by cinema - story-based games are becoming more popular, and are more realistic compared to games from the past. For example, in Detroit: Become Human, during both gameplay and cutscenes, a large variety of different camera angles are used, rather than just one continuous angle, making the game look like a movie.

The difference between cinematically influenced video games and films is the gameplay itself - in the game, you play through the story as the character, whether it's through decision-making like Detroit or more action-based like The Last of Us, rather than just watch it unfold on screen.

I love getting lost in a good story, whether it's delivered through film, literature or video games. I enjoy choice-based video games, like Detroit: Become   Human  because of how immersive they are - making the player's choices actually matter for how the game ends allows the player to feel more emotionally invested in the game. Players become emotionally attached to characters and are aware of the decisions they're making in-game, making sure they make the right ones. It's also entertaining and interesting to see how many different outcomes you can get.
