What laws of robotics? Surely you don't mean Asimov's laws of robotics which are a sci-fi novel plot device. Isaac Asimov's novels are literally about the logical inconsistensies if those very rules and all the stupid complications that arise from attempting to folllow them. They aren't something any actual AI developer would think about when designing AI...

But they are such good laws to create stories. Certainly better than the madness to give androids emotions and have them threaten human life because they go through an emotional crisis.

The laws of robotics have the clear intent to make robots that serve humanity (even if that goes wrong, but at least it's reasonable in its premise), but what's depicted in the first trailer in the OP is so strange. Why would any actual AI developer think about that and why would that ever go into mass production? Granted, the trailer may misrepresent the game and it's actually going to be about only a limited number of androids who for whatever reason developed a life on their own.

Where are you getting that these androids were deliberately given emotions? Everything I've seen has pointed to them being designed as emotionless servants. Those who do show any genuine emotion or independent thought are considered defective and supposed to be destroyed. Kara was a glitch of sorts and that anomaly seems to have gone viral from there.
