The diner scene at the very beginning was pretty incredible, but it was all downhill from there until the worst turn in video game history.

Yeah, start had a pretty decent atmosphere. I gave up in some office room when I was doing QTE against spiders or something. A moment of clarity, stop playing, this sucks.
 
One of the worst games I've ever choked down. Everything about it was awful. The absolutely nonsensical story (why the fuck am I having a magical kung fu fight with the internet!?), the amateur hour writing, the fucking instant fail stealth sections, the controls, just... ugh.
Did you fight
the internet
? Wasn't that just
the ancient immortal Mayan god
? I only recall the
psychic old wheelchair lady revealing herself be a physical manifestation of the internet
, not fighting it. It's possible that scene made me forget whatever else may have happened afterwards. Jesus christ.

I liked Fahrenheit though. Its high points are genuinely cool. The mediocre and bad parts are usually at least still interesting or entertaining in some capacity. Except for the flashback stealth, that was just 100% shit.
 
I stopped playing maybe 1/3 into the game but from what I played I aboslutely loved. I actually wondered if they would ever make another game like this again.

I don't think I'd buy a full price remake/remaster of Indigo Prophecy ... Throw in Heavy Rain and/or Beyond and things start to get interesting, though. I'd be down for a collection of their games.
 
Fond memories of Fahrenheit, even when it all went batshit bonkers towards the end. I don't see it coming back in any form though, be it sequel or remaster. It sold respectably, but I haven't seen anyone clamouring for it to return.

This game introduced me to Theory of a Deadman when they had "Santa Monica" playing on the radio in the apartment.

Sandpaper Kisses for me.

Kept you waiting huh?
Please, Cage, do go back to your roots. I really appreciated the abstract-surrealist style you seemed to be going for.

David Cage used up all of his writing talent on the first half of this game. Every thing else he has made has been messy, full of holes, and horrid.

Going by this thread, that seems to have been the best point to stop.

I played it when I was younger, but I hardly remember anything about the second half. The first half is still fairly fresh in my mind. I own the GOG version now, but haven't replayed it.
 
Is Beyond Two Souls any good??

I enjoyed Indigo a lot but I didn't like Heavy Rain so will Beyond be any good for me??

I liked Heavy Rain, flaws and all, better than Beyond. I could see a lot of people disagreeing with me. Beyond was still good though. Incredible graphics.

This game was incredible for its first 2/3rds. The atmosphere, plot, mystery, characters, voice acting, it was all sooooo good.

Then it got ruined by a ton of incredibly crappy plot twists and a rather bizzare change in pace and plot. The game did tease a sequel at the end though iirc. It still holds a special place in my heart despite how it ended.

It's kind of a QD signature move. Omikron starts as an awesome cyberpunk detective story and then veers into demons and magic.

Oh I played this one. I honestly don't remember most of the game's plot anymore. The only thing that is still very present is the beginning of the game, superb stuff btw, and the sex scene, lol.
 
The sad thing is that Quantic Dream's first game, Omikron: The Nomad Soul, was borderline great; rather rough around the edges and not every element worked, but it was a very ambitious game that was, in many respects, quite a few years ahead of its time (it was a quasi-open world game with a rather unique and interesting setting and in which you took over various NPCs by posessing them, each having their own strengths and weaknesses. And it combined 3rd person exploration/adventure with 1st person shooting and console-style fighting games. And it was released in 1999. Oh, and David Bowie was in it).

Going from that game to the abomination that is Fahrenheit has probably been one of the biggest disappointments in my gaming life. I've steered well clear of David Cage since then.

I enjoyed the heck out of Indigo Prophecy (warts and all, like I say very often), almost in spite of it by the end. I wonder what they're cooking up this time around? Hopefully not just an HD remaster or some such.

You would think an HD remaster wouldn't be worthy of an official website and a countdown, it certainly would be an exception to the rule (like FFX/X-2 HD), but you never know.

Having never played the original and being quite fond of cinematic games like Heavy Rain, I think I would be satisfied either way.

Seriously!

Once the protagonist gained superpowers my sense of interest was like "OK dude, you can stay, but I'm out of here!".

This game simply needs to be experienced with no spoilers by everyone.

Curiously, I felt like one of Beyond's "twists" was an infinitely worse insult to my intelligence than anything on Indigo Prophecy/Fahrenheit. IP wears its incredible ridiculousness very proudly, front and center.

Yeah, that game was very innovative and pioneering.

I don't know why the hell QD went from that to this obsession with QTE games.

Indio Prophecy (Fahrenheit) is one of my favorite games from Quantic Dreams despite the end.

I did however, felt super weird when you play the black dude doing the sex scene. First time a game weirded out because you had to move the sticks to do the thrust motions.

People here say the game went downhill at the sex scene or when
"ALIENS"
happened, but man, that pimp detective apartment...

... I can't... I can't even.

I really hope the guy that speculated there will be a Morpheus version was onto something.

Steam release. Don't care wherever it's the original or a HD version. I need it on Steam.

Yes, I own it on GOG too, but want it on Steam too

Cool. Just yesterday I was lamenting my current stack of bloated, buggy games and wishing I had something good and engrossing to play like Indigo Prophecy.

The first half hour of that game was unforgettable, and I enjoyed much of the rest of it, too.

By the way, for anyone who's still disappointed by the lack of a true game around that "Kara" tech demo, there's a movie called The Machine that scratches that particular itch quite nicely. You won't get it from the preview, but the actress who plays the robot is just adorable.

This game would be great if Cage kept the first two scenes (diner + apartment) and redid the rest.

Redid the last third more like, it was fine up until the point they decided to introduce the colour coded AI and dead guy having sex with and impregnating someone.

Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy general opinion.

Early impressions: wow, this is awesome. I'm eager to see what happens next.

Final impressions: WTF! Worst game ever.
