Video Gaming News - February 2005
New York, NY (February 25, 2005) - Atari today revealed details on its
new adventure video game, Indigo Prophecy. Known as Fahrenheit in Europe, the
game is being developed by Quantic Dream for the PlayStation 2, Xbox, and
personal computer and is scheduled for release this fall.
“Quantic Dream has come up with a game best described as ‘interactive cinema’ –
a scenario driven experience whose attributes more closely match that of a hit
movie," said Erik Gerson, senior vice president of Marketing for Atari. “What
Indigo Prophecy does uniquely well is transfer the on-screen drama, tension and
anticipation to the player, resulting in an encounter in which players develop
an emotional stake in the outcome. This is heightened by a cause-and-effect
in-game dynamic whereby every player decision impacts the game's story path and
ultimate outcome.”
From Atari:
Set in New York City’s near future, Indigo Prophecy tells the story of a man
whose destiny is irrevocably altered when he unwillingly commits a brutal murder
and must partner with the woman assigned to bring him to justice.
In Indigo Prophecy, New York City is stunned by a series of mysterious murders,
all following the same pattern: ordinary people are killing absolute strangers
in public areas. Lucas Kane becomes another one of these murderers when he
suddenly kills a stranger in a men’s bathroom. Covered in blood, Lucas regains
consciousness with no recollection as to why he committed murder. Hunted by
police, Lucas must uncover the supernatural forces behind his crime before being
incarcerated for life.
A free-flowing game during which players can assume the role of multiple
characters and experience the game from multiple viewpoints, Indigo Prophecy
allows players’ actions to affect the plot by offering a scenario driven
interactive experience – each and every decision made by the player will impact
how the in-game story unfolds. Through motion picture techniques such as actor
direction, multi-camera views, motion tracking and a contextual music score,
players find themselves intimately immersed in the game.
Developed by Quantic Dream for the PlayStation 2, Xbox and PC, Indigo Prophecy /
Fahrenheit is scheduled for a worldwide release this fall. More information
