Indigo Prophecy in the US.

20th anniversary is this month. Its up there with my favorite PS2 games. I remember my brother lending it from a friend and I didn't know much about it. It has one of the best openings of any game. I had to replay that many times just to see the different ways it could go. The story did get worse near the end but it was like Matrix version of The Fugitive. Its still my favorite Quantic Dream game.



Can't forget this song:


Its available digitally on PS4/5 and PC.

The sex scenes where you had to do inputs to penetrate were peak gaming. My goty back then.

 

[Kerotan]

I only played this a few years ago and the the first half absolutely blew me away. Way ahead of it's time.

 

[Aesius]

Really enjoyed the game in 2005 on PC. But barely remember it. I mostly just remember that it completely goes off the rails towards the end.

 

[GymWolf]

Another quantic dream "banger".

The weird sex scene and plot going into the shitter is the only thing i remember.

The sex scenes where you had to do inputs to penetrate were peak gaming. My goty back then.

Let's not forget the necrophilia towards the end of the game.

 

[MayauMiao]

I remember the game started great but somehow went to south halfway through when the hero start to do The Matrix nonsense.

I only played this a few years ago and the the first half absolutely blew me away. Way ahead of it's time.

I don't remember it all that well but I do remember the first half being amazing and then thinking 'wtf is going on here' during the second half. I played the absolute shit out of the demo when it came out.

 

[Gonzito]

The best thing about the game is that I discovered Theory of a Deadman

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

First half is amazing, second half..... batshit crazy


David Cage: Visionary Mastermind

 

[The Cockatrice]

The first half was amazing, the second half was absolutely retarded. I fucking laughed when you started flying and shit. Heavy Rain suffered the same issues. Beyond Two Souls and Detroit Become Human are their best work, with the latter being amazing.

 

[Arsic]

I think if I ran my mind for the worst game I ever played this is it.

A buddy at the time was praising this game to heaven and back so I picked it up.

We are no longer friends.

The sex scenes where you had to do inputs to penetrate were peak gaming. My goty back then.

The guitar bit is fuckin comedy gold if you fail every input

 

[Sticks]

 

[calico]

S tier sex scene.

I played all these since Nomad Soul and how they've improved step by step up to DBH is immense.

 

[JimmyRustler]

Amazing back in the days. Almost unplayable now.

 

[GudOlRub]

My teenage brain loved this game so much.
I'm afraid to play it again since I fear it would completely shatter my rose tinted glasses.

Also, can I say how much I miss music of the likes of Theory of a Deadman, Nickelback and pop rock in general being popular in mainstream media?
RE4 Remake's credits teleported me to simpler times due to the style of music that was used.

 

[Hohenheim]

Ah, this makes me feel old.
Had a blast with this game.

 

[VulcanRaven]

The first half was amazing, the second half was absolutely retarded. I fucking laughed when you started flying and shit. Heavy Rain suffered the same issues. Beyond Two Souls and Detroit Become Human are their best work, with the latter being amazing.

I haven't played Detroit yet. Beyond Two Souls is very good but I didn't enjoy Heavy Rain as much. One reason could be that I played it after Beyond so it felt a bit dated.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

They should create the Temperature Trilogy.

Celsius and Kelvin sound like awesome names for games.

 

[Sticks]

Ah, this makes me feel old.
Had a blast with this game.

2005 had a lot of great games

 

[Danny22]

I loved the second half and how batshit insane it was. When your ambitiousness is exploding, atleast you don't get safe company products.

Also, this company still stuck on its star wars? Really should have made your own IP than popular American IP

 

[Germuso]

Well dont do It again

 

[freemandos]

Not a fan of this game or David Cage's work in general. Nice beginning and great music though.

 

[Minari]

I played it s year after it came out and i liked the beginning of it but MY GOD did david cage went of the deep end in later parts

Actual epilepsy shizo simulator.

 

[adamsapple]

Ah yes, the game where you fight a personification of the Internet as a final boss.

 

[ReBurn]

Only Quantic Dream game I haven't played yet. I'll have to try it.

 

[The_Observer]

At the time it was amazing and very unique

 

[skit_data]

I remember playing it on PC back then. I remember thinking the story was super engaging and cool but I also remember the game ended kinda abrubtly without a sense of resolution/catharsis, as if the game was part 1 of 2. I don't remember much of the story today but I remember being sort of pissed back then xD

 

[Killer8]

Never seen a story drop the ball as hard as this did.

 

[bender]

And the intro to that game is the only good thing they've made.

Visual representation of Indigo Prophecy story line:

 

[PrefectAboro]

This take might be crazy but I had the same feeling I felt when I experienced Metal Gear Solid for the first time. Not in the gameplay department of course, but in the cinematic storytelling.

The combination of the narration, camera and background musical score resonated like a film.

RIP to Angelo Badalamenti, it boggles my mind why there haven't been more Video Game directors utilizing this guy's talent. I would of loved to experience a Resident Evil or Silent Hill with him doing the score.

 

[Conflict NZ]

Absolutely incredible game at the time, it really felt like a whole new frontier of gaming was opening up. Unfortunately it was never delivered on but we have still gotten some great cinematic choose your own adventure style games.

That first chapter was insane, I remember playing the demo of it over and over and over trying to find every little thing you could change.

 

[Solarstrike]

The sex scenes where you had to do inputs to penetrate were peak gaming. My goty back then.

 

[VulcanRaven]

Only Quantic Dream game I haven't played yet. I'll have to try it.

I recommend it. Its very similar to the later ones.

 

[Kerotan]

I don't remember it all that well but I do remember the first half being amazing and then thinking 'wtf is going on here' during the second half. I played the absolute shit out of the demo when it came out.

They had you playing 2 different characters. One trying to get away with a murder he didn't really commit and the other the detective trying to catch him. Playing chicken and egg with yourself was very unique.

 

[yet_another_alt]

One of those cases where the demo is where the game peaks.
Also 20 years... thanks for making me feel old.

 

[VulcanRaven]

Has anyone played the remastered version on PC? I tried it years ago but wasn't sure about the art style change. I think you can still change to the original by pressing some button.

This had the best memory card save icon

 

[mdkirby]

Don't make me feel old

 

[Ozrimandias]

The first hour of this game was awesome. A cringe weird garbage after that. A similar feeling to be playing a modern Kojima game.

 

[joeygreco1985]

I remember playing the demo and being blown away, so I picked up the full game on release day. And the game peaked in the opening section where the demo took place anyway lol

 

[crackajack]

It's hard to deny that some of Cage's writing is just strange, but it's also hard to deny that he and Quantic Dream really tried to push this format ever since Fahrenheit, also with top tier production values.
It's about time we get their new game or at least a new trailer. :-(

 

[Red Crayon Aristocrat]

Great game, you can technically criticize how nuts the story gets as the set up is so good, but at least it was memorable.

I'm already getting tired of that "wait, 20 years ago already?" feeling and it's not getting any better from here.
