[Mezoly]

Oh I'm super excited my favorite QD game.

 

[FJ0372]

Looking forward to this. Love the Quantic Dream games.

 

[desmax]

Well, if there's one game where I changed my opinions on it halfway through, this is it.

If it's some kind of HD Remaster, I would pick it up

Spoiler

I though the second half was funny

.

 

[funkystudent]

PC / mobile enhanced edition ala the Baldur's Gate EE?

 

[Shredderi]

What in the world? Completely out of left field for me.

 

[soultron]

It'll be a IP HD re-release, I bet. Not expecting a sequel or new game.

Also, the last act of that game was some LSD-tripping bullshit. Part of me loved it, part of me hated it. The opening act of the game is so strong that I wished the game had stayed at that level, tonally and with its general subject matter, the entire way through.

 

[Trigger]

I'd replay this game just for the diner scene.

 

[Draxal]

Maybe they'll redo the second half.

I mean Cage has owned up to how horrible it is.

 

[LordOfChaos]

Hot dog. The game had its flaws but I did love the tone. Here's hoping for a sequel, I'd also take a remster.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Oh snap, let's see what this turns out to be!
I actually liked the premise of Fahrenheit (still not sure why they picked different names), but couldn't get myself beyond that military station(?) part

It was changed to Indigo Prophecy in North America so as it wouldn't get confused with the film Fahrenheit 9/11.

PC / mobile enhanced edition ala the Baldur's Gate EE?

Yeah, I think this is the most likely scenario.

 

[JaseC]

I enjoyed what I played of it, but I can't imagine Quantic doing anything PC related again. The Aspyr nod suggests a Mac or Linux (or both) port of something or other

Quantic quietly refusing to re-release the game on Steam is rather frustrating. Atari did literally all of the work way back when -- getting it back up is a simple matter of contacting Valve and requesting access to the app.

 

[dancrane212]

Give me more

Spoiler

evil computer monsters

and I'm sold.

 

[Shauni]

I know it's been said that the last part of the game was due to it being rushed and all, but I've always kind of said it as Cage trying to pull a MGS2 and just not having the chops or understanding of that game to really do so.

 

[benicillin]

Totally points towards a mobile port if you ask me. Aspyr mentioned in the whois and they just finished porting KOTOR not long ago. Would love an HD re-release but I feel like we'd see more hints of Sony being behind it.

 

[whatevermort]

It'll be IP on iOS.

 

[soultron]

I'd replay this game just for the diner scene.

One of the best demos of all time since that's the best part of the entire game and the demo ended shortly after that, IMO.

 

[kubus]

Since Beyond PS4 trophies already popped up...

Indigo Prophecy + Heavy Rain + Beyond remaster collection?

Yes plz

 

[M3d10n]

If they redo everything after the plot goes batshit insane and make an Indigo Prophecy If... I might bother looking at it. During a Steam sale.

 

[loaf of bread]

It'll probably only be on PS4. Chances are its a collection for at least this and Beyond given the trophy list for PS4.

 

[Rembrandt]

Yessss. I wonder if this will be multiplatform like it originally was.

 

[Nzyme32]

Well that's weird.

 

[Leafhopper]

Would they fix the second half?

Would be nice. A third of the game or something like that is cut isn't it?

 

[Moobabe]

Since Beyond PS4 trophies already popped up...

Indigo Prophecy + Heavy Rain + Beyond remaster collection?

Yes plz

Yeah I'd bite on that - never played any of them

 

[VibratingDonkey]

Yeah there's no way this is not related to Fahrenheit in some manner.
Wonder if we'll get to see the internet reprise its role. ...I have no idea what the hell a sequel to Fahrenheit would be. It is not a universe that....works. Guess I'm hoping for a spiritual sequel to the first half of it.

 

[Haunted]

HD version for consoles incoming.

 

[WrenchNinja]

I remember this falling apart even worse than Heavy Rain

 

[CreeperBlocks]

All I remember about this game was the Theory of a deadman songs blasting in the protagonist's apartment.

 

[SpookyFries]

Hopefully its a re-imagining with all the bullshit stripped away

 

[Leafhopper]

Hopefully its a re-imagining with all the bullshit stripped away

There is a big chunk of the script cut that leads up to that insane stuff at the end though.

 

[clashfan]

Would they fix the second half?

Game got off to such a great start. The end kind of fell apart.

 

[infinit777]

Oh man, I loved that game back in the day. I even loved the end of the game (unlike most people here). Glad to see that (hopefully) something is going to happen with it.

 

[Creaking]

I remember the demo fondly. Apparently the rest of the game wasn't so great, but man, that demo was promising. Maybe they could just remaster the demo.

 

[Dee Dee]

Ahahahahaaa... can't wait to play this trainwreck again in HD. The had soooo no idea what to do with the second part, that game turned into the most nonsensical Twilight Zone (90s reboot!) episode of all time. Oh boy, I hope some people post their LTTPs for this.

Edit: Fight QTEs (aka "Simon Says for gamers") replaced with Kinect motion controls please. Ahahaha... my sides, I can't. There is no way that announcement will not be marvelously dada and ridiculous with that game involved.

Yeah, it goes from an interesting mystery story to the lower depths of SyFy's basement.

 

[Sectorseven]

I swear no one played beyond the opening scene.

Awful awful game, and a cringe worthy sex scene.

 

[Jawbreaker]

I remember loving this game back when I played it. One of the few games I've finished in one sitting.

 

[Lord Error]

I loved that game for about its first half. I successfully forgot what the 2nd half was really like, but I remember being appaled how bad it was when I played it. The 1st half though, it was IMO best thing David Cage has done.

 

[prag16]

Interesting. Never played this game, and tried to get into it last year. Man the visual seem to have aged poorly. Didn't get very far. Might take another crack at it.

 

[Caj814]

Alright!

I always wanted another SIMON Matrix game!

 

[Ushojax]

No other game has such a marked transition from good to shit. Halfway through the game just goes up it's own arse and ruins everything.

 

[The_Dama]

Loved IP but the ending was bad

 

[RPGCrazied]

Maybe they could throw in Heavy Rain Remaster and make it a set. Higher resolution and vsync would make me all giddy.

 

[SteveTR]

Indigo Prophecy (or Fahrenheit, as we in Europe know it) is the best of the bunch. The world needs more Indigo Prophecy.

It's also arguably the least stupid of the bunch.

 

[Hank Scorpio]

DAT DINER DEMO!!

 

[JumpJeff84]

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 my thoughts exactly.

I also liked that they had a Teddy Pendergrass song in the game.

 

[KennyLinder]

Indigo Prophecy (or Fahrenheit, as we in Europe know it) is the best of the bunch. The world needs more Indigo Prophecy.

Well yeah.. But it got KINDA WEIRD later on! I did enjoy it though and that opening was incredible.

[Banana Aeon]

I played the sex scene with the Ex GF. I don't really have words to describe on how that was. Like, at all.

This is, quite possibly, the most accurate description of a trainwreck to ever exist.

 

[Xaero Gravity]

A remake with an all new second half? I wish.
