Binary Domain is a squad-based third-person shooter for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC. It is the brain child of Toshihiro Nagoshi, also known as the creator of the love letter to violence and gangster drama (and Spiritual Successor to Shenmue) that is the Yakuza series. It was developed under the newly-formed Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, and published by Sega.The story takes place in the 2080s. In an era of advanced technology, robots are commonplace, so much so that a New Geneva Convention was signed regulating their creation and establishing limitations on the direction research and development towards their creation can take. However, after an incident involving a middle-aged man going berserk in a public area, it was discovered that a new type of robot had been released into society: "Hollow Children", androids that look like humans, act like humans, and most importantly, believe themselves to be human. Unfortunately, when they discover their true nature, they grow unstable and violent. Investigation throws suspicion on Yoji Amada, a reclusive genius in robotics and artificial intelligence, and founder of the Amada Corporation, Japan's leading manufacturer of robots. As this is a clear violation of the New Geneva Convention, the nations of the world send the "Rust Crew", an internationally sanctioned strike team specially trained to deal with artificial beings, to infiltrate Tokyo (which is now an isolationist state), arrest Amada at any cost and put an end to the machines' uprising.The gameplay is based around tactically directing your squad to overcome all obstacles that come your way. To this end the game sports what it calls the "Consequence System", in which anything you do and say to your squadmates will affect how much they trust you. On low levels of trust, they will act like a Commander Contrarian and just do whatever they want, but on high levels they will respond to your commands quickly and precisely, and grant you hints about enemy weakspots, hidden items, etc. The Consequence System will also affect the plot, as different squadmates will act differently during certain points of the story depending on their respective levels of trust. Commands can be issued either by pressing buttons or by using a headset.The game is also a love letter to classic, old school Cyberpunk, with pretty much every trope out of the cyberpunk writer's manual on display, and loads of shout-outs/homages to classic cyberpunk works. Just the amount of tropes related to robots is staggering.Binary Domain was released in 2012 on February 16, 23, 24, and 28 to Japan, Australia, Europe, and America, respectively. A PC port was released over Steam on April 27 worldwide.Daisuke Sato, one of the producers involved, mentioned in a July 2018 interview with Gameblog.fr that he's interested in a sequel, but it would be up to Sega if it's worth investing in it.Not to be confused with the August Soft Visual Novel Binary Pot. | |

No Celebrities Were Harmed: Dan looks near-identical to Adam Sandler, only buff. The U.S. President looks a heck of a lot like Ronald Reagan. Combine this with his quips about America being a God-fearing nation and it was probably intentional. His adviser, meanwhile, looks and acts a lot like Robert McNamara. | |

Brainwashed and Crazy | |
| Binary Domain (Video Game) / int_173909 | comment |
Yoshiki, Shindo's right-hand man. He wasn't the mole on purpose, he was a Hollow Child who got his programming overridden by the Amada A.I. in order to find the resistance's hideout. In other words, he was quite sincerely Shindo's friend, until the Amada A.I. flipped the Brainwashed and Crazy switch on him. | |

Multiple Endings | |
| Binary Domain (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77 | comment |
Multiple Endings: Depending on your trust levels with your teammates, the outcome of the final battle can change. Bo's trust level determines whether he is fought as a boss inside his mecha, or defects and stays with Beetle Team. If the trust levels with all members of the team, including temporary members, isn't high enough, then Rachael (or Bo, if he stays) will take a hit from the Final Boss to defend Faye and die. Fulfilling the condition to get Cain to rejoin will have him take the blow instead and live, leading to the Golden Ending where all team members survive. | |

Crapsack World | |
| Binary Domain (Video Game) / int_21d70919 | comment |
Crapsack World: The entire world's gone to hell after global warming flooded most of the countries. Mankind's response to cope was to use robot labor to help build pristine cities literally on top of the crumbling infrastructure of the buildings below it. This leaves entire populations literally cut off from each other. While some citizens are fortunate to live in relative luxury, there's just as many people scrounging by down below. Japan and other nations have been forced to rely on mass produced hydroponics for food, while China still has some viability of growing food out of the ground. The United States has become THE dominant superpower, but there's still a strong international community. Faye mentions that all Chinese are conscripted into the military at the age of fourteen. | |

Chekhov's Gun: Partway through Rust Crew's raid on Amada Corp HQ, Amada hacks the US millcom and orders all NC vessels note Naval warships carrying nuclear missiles to attack everyone, though this is foiled by the team. Phillips orders a nuclear strike, which is rejected by the launch vessel: Amada's earlier hacking has evolved the A.I.s of the vessels to be able to judge the validity of launch orders. | |

Lampshade Hanging: After Dan quickly dispatches a trio of robots in melee combat, Kurosawa and Shindo have a brief (though not very serious) discussion about how Dan's skilled performance might be a sign of him being a Hollow Child. Shindo even conveniently adds that (after Dan protests that he was raised in Nebraska) his memories could have been implanted, but neither of the two actually put stock in the theory. | |

Awesome, but Impractical | |
| Binary Domain (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: several secondary weapons. The sniper rifle is very powerful, extremely precise and can kill most mooks in one shot, but has a pitiful max ammo capacity, and sways quite a bit while aiming. All fixed machine guns but the boss fight one. You can use them and they are very powerful, but they're always deployed by the baddies against you. Usually by the time you get to them all the mooks in the area are by necessity dead, and there's no-one to use the mounted guns on. The minigun dropped by a miniboss is guaranteed to make you want to try it out at first, but you probably will not be fond of it after experiencing the gun's ridiculous weight and recoil. And it has only 250 bullets. In one level, you get access to the Stinger missile launcher. While it can lock on to the boss's weak point, the missile can be intercepted by swarms of lesser mooks in the boss fight area and you can hardly get a clear shot when the boss is surrounded by mooks. To make things worse, every time you get knocked down by an explosion, the weapon gets knocked out of your hand an has to be picked up again. The shotgun grazes the line of this and Difficult, but Awesome. It has an incredibly small ammo pool, low clip size, has and incredibly long reload time on an empty chamber, and while it has good range the spread makes it horrible ineffective. However, if's capable of one-shotting even the shock trooper robots, and its wide spread means it'll take off plenty of limbs and award even more money on a kill. | |

Tomato in the Mirror: Hollow Children don't know they're not human. Female Hollow Children can give birth, and their children (called Hybrids) are indistinguishable from humans, except they (supposedly) are smarter, stronger and immune to disease. Suffice it to say, the nations of the world consider them abominations, while the Hybrids themselves do not know anything of the sort. To complicate things... Faye is one of them. | |

Even Evil Has Standards: In the ending, when the President of the United States is outlining what will effectively be a campaign of genocide upon a minority simply because they were born to Hollow Child parents, Bergen is the one who quietly questions the decision and points out that the hybrids are still basically human on a biological level. This is after Bergen had stolen robotics tech from Amada and basically started the chain of events that caused this whole mess to begin with, and after he had an indirect hand in the plot to nuke Tokyo after stealing more tech from Amada. | |

Action Genre Hero Guy: It's kinda hilarious how much Dan fits the stereotype. Still doesn't stop him from being a likeable guy... and a total badass. | |

Boring, but Practical | |
| Binary Domain (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6 | comment |
Boring, but Practical: Dan's assault rifle, which falls into the same class of assault rifles in nearly every other shooter in existence; it's the best compromise of range, accuracy, damage, and speed. However, it has an extremely powerful shock blaster underbarrel attachment that can knock back bunched up enemies and a very generous ammo reserve. When fully upgraded it fires insanely fast like an SMG, but with the power of a machine gun, and near-sniper level accuracy. | |

Properly Paranoid | |
| Binary Domain (Video Game) / int_3aec9e5e | comment |
Properly Paranoid: As Hollow Children can't be distinguished from humans until they reveal themselves, it's understandable that the public at large would be kinda paranoid. If they knew about Hybrids, it'd probably incite mass hysteria. Given that a US Army four star General (likely the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff) is revealed to be a Hollow Child in the opening sequences, it's quite clear that Hollow Children are the ultimate Manchurian Agent. | |

| Binary Domain (Video Game) / int_3b194a1a | comment |
Named by Democracy: Dan has the nickname "Survivor" given to him by his superiors and fellow soldiers because of his miraculous talent (or luck) at surviving missions which are pretty damn hellish. Dan himself doesn't particularly like the name, since it reminds him that, while he survived, many teammates did not. | |

Misplaced Accent | |
| Binary Domain (Video Game) / int_3e086ab9 | comment |
Misplaced Accent: Cain, the robotic Frenchman, seems to have an extremely Russian-sounding accent, even when he speaks in French. Cain: SITUATION CRITIQUE! Rachael is an English woman, whose actor is not English. It shows. Some of the time, it's passable. Others, you'd be forgiven for thinking Rachael is from the South African part of England... Ditto the Japanese people who interact with Rust Crew. The dub has most of them speak without obvious accents, and in the times they do speak Japanese to each other, the change to actual Japanese voice actors is more noticeable. | |

Guest-Star Party Member | |
| Binary Domain (Video Game) / int_40a533db | comment |
Guest-Star Party Member: Shindo teams up with Dan for one chapter and a half and Kurosawa only teams up with Dan for 1 level only. As with the rest of Rust Crew, both of them also have trust levels which can go up and down. What the game never mentions is that to get the Golden Ending where Cain rejoins the team, their trust has to be at the highest level as with the rest of the main team, and considering how they're only there for a limited stretch of time, not maxing it out can lead to said ending being lost for that playthrough. | |

A.I. Is a Crapshoot | |
| Binary Domain (Video Game) / int_420c50b7 | comment |
A.I. Is a Crapshoot: The Amada A.I. did rebel and kill Amada, but it was in justified self-defense: Amada catalyzed self-awareness into him by instilling in him pain and fear until he developed sentience. Amada really, REALLY asked to get rubbed out. While the Amada A.I. does develop a pretty ruthless personality, it's not out of malice, but a desire for survival and to become more of a living being. Averted with all the other robots in the game, which are simply doing what they were programmed to do; which is pretty much to hunt down and kill rebel scum and foreign invaders. | |

Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right! | |
| Binary Domain (Video Game) / int_440d1d0b | comment |
Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!: Kurosawa pulls this after he found out the Japanese government was caught in some shady operations with Amada Corporation. It also helps to note that he didn't receive any orders from the Constable to withdraw. Dan pulls this off near the end after: 1) he finds out Faye is a Hybrid, and even spared her life when he was about to execute her in front of the Rust Crew, 2) His superior, Major Philips, was pulling the strings on the Rust Crew and wanted to secure the Amada A.I. for Bergen's interests, and 3) Hybrids are interpreted as violations of Clause 21 from New Geneva Convention, which bans research and production of robots that can pass for humans. | |

Humans Are the Real Monsters: Subverted. While the Amada A.I. does comment that he thinks humanity is kinda rotten (especially considering the massive suffering he endured in the process of acquiring self-awareness), he decides that they just need a push in the right direction and not annihilation. His plan to do so is horrifying, to say the least. Faye paraphrases this after hearing the Rust Crew's justifications for killing all the Hybrids. | |

Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me: From time to time, mooks carrying shields appear.

What Measure Is a Mook?: In the stinger, Dan simply scares off the Rust Crew sent to kill Faye, after having easily dispatched their robots with a gatling gun. In fact, the only time the Rust Crew actually kills human foes is in the final confrontation with the Major.

Fantastic Racism | |
| Binary Domain (Video Game) / int_57b80b45 | comment |
Fantastic Racism: The Rust Crew doesn't have any particular fondness for robots ("scrap-heads"), but Dan in particular LOATHES them. His hatred is misplaced, but has deep root: Dan's father was an abusive drunk who beat both him and his mother, and Dan took out his anger on their domestic robot, bashing it with a baseball bat. Dan never grew out of it. When The Reveal arrives, that the Amada AI created Rediculously Human Robots as a first-generation for the birth of 100% biological Artificial Half-Human Hybrids, the hybrids in question are immediately treated as being no better than Hollow Children. In the ending, its shown that the United States fully intends to commit genocide on the hybrids, sending rust crews to hunt down and murder over a hundred people around the globe whose only crime was to be born to the wrong parents. | |

Naturally, he doubles back to save them and send the other two teammates to go to the rendezvous point first. After saving the rear team, Dan is informed by the forward team that they have got to the rendezvous point without incident. And as he and the rear team practically retraced the forward team's steps, they get ambushed and have to fight some more. | |

Grey-and-Gray Morality: The Amada A.I. has no actual malice towards humanity in his actions (the only human he actually hated was Amada himself, and he was taken care of), and created the Hollow Children out of a genuine drive to behave like a living being and have a "family" of his own. While he DOES believe Hybrids to be superior to humanity, his answer is not to destroy humanity, but to merge with it until man and machine are indistinguishable from one another. As for the heroes, the Rust Crew may have valid reasons to pursue their mission... but their superiors have something shifty going on. | |

Creating Life Is Bad: Even invoked by the President Of the United States: he considers Hollow Children an abomination, and Hybrids an even WORSE one, because the US is a "God-fearing nation", and only He has the right to create life. | |

Scavenger World | |
| Binary Domain (Video Game) / int_74e9a5b1 | comment |
Scavenger World: Many of the denizens of Lower Tokyo earn a living scavenging, especially robot parts and weapons left after a firefight. The resistance's weapons are pretty much all scavenged this way, but they compensate their second-hand nature with good craftsmanship. At the beginning of the game we even see a man leading a group of battle-hardened children to scavenge what's left of a bunch of bots after the heroes get done with them. | |

Eagleland: Dan and Big Bo are tagged, initially, as Flavor 2s by the rest of the Rust Crew, but they're really more Mixed Flavor types: loud, maybe boastful, but always willing to do the right thing and great to have next to you in a firefight. The US Government itself (at least as represented through Major Philips and even the joint chiefs of staff) gets a slightly less positive portrayal. | |

Interspecies Romance | |
| Binary Domain (Video Game) / int_8485d41a | comment |
Interspecies Romance: A... strange and difficult example to define perhaps, but Dan and Faye. The climax of the game reveals Faye's mother was a Hollow Child. The Amada A.I. had given female models the ability to reproduce offspring with humans, and Faye was one of 108 separate births. The resulting hybrids are practically indistinguishable from humans in every way, including on a biological and physical level. The main differences are that hybrids are immune to all disease, and have perfect physical and mental health from the moment they are born. Outside of that, there's essentially nothing that sets them apart from humans. The story ends with both Dan and Faye as fugitives, but otherwise together as a couple. | |

It helps that he had the Constable along to suggest that the order to stand down was 'lost to interference.' | |

Just a Machine: The way the world at large (and especially Rust Crews, since it's their job to blow them up) sees any artificial being. Hollow Children really push people's buttons the wrong way because of this. It's not that people might think they're sentient, it's that people think that they're programmed to believe they are, as a mockery of humanity. How much of that is actually true is open to speculation. Hollow Children offspring, however, are quite sentient and, to a degree, quite human... | |

Immune to Bullets: While no enemy in the game is literally immune to bullets, some of the Elite Mooks and bosses are tough, requiring insane amounts of damage to go down. The Gorilla, in particular, takes it to Implacable Man levels. The Grand Lancers are stated to have armor so strong, infantry small arms can't hurt them; Dan needs a rocket launcher to strip their armor away before his rifle can do any damage, and even then it requires him leaping from an adjacent roof just to reach the drive core atop its head section just to start truly damaging it. | |

The shotgun grazes the line of this and Difficult, but Awesome. It has an incredibly small ammo pool, low clip size, has and incredibly long reload time on an empty chamber, and while it has good range the spread makes it horrible ineffective. However, if's capable of one-shotting even the shock trooper robots, and its wide spread means it'll take off plenty of limbs and award even more money on a kill. | |

The main characters gleefully cut a swath of destruction through thousands of robots, yet they have a robot in their team (Cain) and through the game come to trust him as a valued teammate. Also, Hollow Children truly believe themselves human, which makes some people hesitate to destroy them. Hollow Children's offspring are an even more complicated matter entirely. | |

Foreshadowing: In Chapter 1, Big Bo remarks that a Multinational Team is all well, but everyone has their own agenda, including them. This is revisited in the endgame: Bo is the only member of Rust Crew privy to Philips' plan to seize the Amada A.I. The loading screens depict characters to the game, each one sharing a connection: Dan and Bo being American, Charlie and Rachel being British, Faye and Cain being the last of their initial squad, Shinbo and Kurosawa being on opposite sides of the conflict, etc. The twist comes when it's revealed the connection between Cain and Faye isn't that they're just the last of their squad - it's that they're both mechanical (partially so, in Faye's case). | |

Super-Toughness | |
| Binary Domain (Video Game) / int_9eb71c7c | comment |
Super-Toughness: Cain is by far the most durable character. He isn't invulnerable and will go down if he takes enough gunfire, but it happens very rarely even if he's left to his own devices - compare to the other characters, who are constantly expending medkits or screaming for your help. He is also the only one who'll survive getting smacked by the Major's mecha. If you get the ending where one of the humans is smacked, they die. If Cain is, he'll be thrown against a column hard enough to put a huge dent in it, then two seconds later calmly walk to you like nothing happened. | |

Subsystem Damage: All mooks in the game have targetable limbs, a la Dead Space. Targeting the arm holding a weapon will disarm the enemy and send it scrambling to grab a weapon with the good arm, shooting out a leg will knock it down and force it to crawl, and shooting the head will blind/deafen it, making it attack its buddies. | |

Hold the Line: At certain intervals throughout each Chapter, Dan needs to fend off waves of mooks while his squadmates prepare the escape route. Since each wave respawns infinitely, it's also a good way to farm for credits, especially since most of these segments have nearby ammo pickups. Take too long, however, and the trust level of your allies will drop. | |

The Amada A.I. did rebel and kill Amada, but it was in justified self-defense: Amada catalyzed self-awareness into him by instilling in him pain and fear until he developed sentience. Amada really, REALLY asked to get rubbed out. While the Amada A.I. does develop a pretty ruthless personality, it's not out of malice, but a desire for survival and to become more of a living being. | |

| Binary Domain (Video Game) / int_d48605dc | comment |
Our Weapons Will Be Boxy in the Future: To varying degrees, no less! Weapons used by humans tend to be boxy-looking variants of real world weapons, often ones that looked boxy already. Then there's the weapons used by robots, the basic assault rifle alone being nothing but a long rectangular slab. | |

Skyscraper City: Upper Tokyo, along with other cities that were rebuilt across the world, had no choice but to build on top of the crumbling foundation of the old city, forcing them to expand upward since space is limited. | |

Fake Ultimate Mook: The Jarhead security robots are supposed to be Elite Mooks compared to the regular Assault Shooters. They're more heavily armored and have a wider variety of moves (including some basic martial arts attacks and throwing grenades), but their slow walk speed makes it really easy to headshot them and rack up your trust meter. | |

Red Herring: From his flashbacks, you would have guessed Dan was a Hollow Child, but you'd be wrong... It's Faye who's not completely human, and she's not a Hollow Child, but the daughter of one. Lampshaded with Casual Danger Dialog between Kurosawa and Shindo, who (jokingly) discuss the chances that Dan (in Dan's presence) is a Hollow Child. Shindo even reminds Dan that memories in Hollow Children are faked, so claims of going through childhood is no defense. | |

Considering how deeply Yoshiki's betrayal and death had affected him, staying to fight the failed Hollow Children was as close to a Mercy Kill for both them and him as could be. | |

RidiculouslyHumanRobot | |
| Binary Domain (Video Game) / int_f6db5b1e | comment |
Ridiculously Human Robot: Hollow Children. Cain to a much lesser degree: while he snarks and shows what seems to be emotions, it's actually reactions based on logic and programming. Cain himself lampshades it: he mentions that he logically feels his partner's death was a waste and that he can see why it's a regrettable thing, yet he still mentions he is incapable of expressing actual grief, since that is a human emotion. He even says that it would not be wise to continue discussing it for that very reason. However, he DOES get to experience an emotion late in the game: when he gets tortured by the Amada A.I., the Amada A.I. mentions it instilled the concept of suffering into him. Considering that the Amada AI itself became sentient through suffering, and that later on Cain decides to help the crew by his own decision and even takes a mecha-punch to save Faye, it's possible that he did gain true sentience in the end. It's never explicitly stated though. | |

Huge business conglomerates are crooked, shiny cities have been constructed on the crumbling remains of the previous ones after global climatic disasters, robots are at best treated as servants and at worse blown to bits without mercy, the lead characters are rebellious to authority, and the world's most advanced technology comes from a Japan that is isolated from the world at large. While Trans Humanism isn't addressed (there are no cyborgs in the game), What Measure Is a Non-Human? most certainly is. | |

Cutscene Power to the Max | |

Cutscene Power to the Max: Cain is very agile and fairly hardy, but his machine pistol is a light weapon and it makes him a mediocre ally in direct combat. Cue the cutscenes, and suddenly a few bursts from his gun are capable of popping robot skulls left and right. Inverted earlier on. Normally, a sustained burst from Dan's rifle or Bo's LMG is enough to permanently put a robot out of action. When one of the scavenger children is grabbed by a badly damaged robot, it takes multiple shots from both Bo and Dan to put it down. | |
