[Kitch]

I do like it so far, but I really hope the game expands a lot on the multiple characters.

[SteveThaiBinh]

We know. We've been enthusing about it all day.

 

 

(Still don't like the left/right clicking thing. What's with that?)

 

[alanschu]

You'll get used to it! I already have. If not though, you can set it up for a dual-analog controller.

 

For some stupid reason, I've played the demo more than a few times already :D

 

The multiple character thing is neat, as you can directly see what consequences your actions as Lucas do when you investigate as Clara.

[SteveThaiBinh]

You'll get used to it!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Probably.

For some stupid reason, I've played the demo more than a few times already :D

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Have you found a way to skip through the very long introduction?

[alanschu]

Alas I have not.

 

 

I enjoy Lucas' reaction when he comes to though

 

[Morgoth]

David Cage answers some questions here.

It's also being revealed that the US-Version won't have Sex scenes included... Not my problem.

 

Now after playing the demo (albeit a little short), I'm 99,9999% certain that I'm getting the full version.... the Euro version (with Sex scenes), that is. " :">

[EnderAndrew]

I wonder if Hot Coffee influenced said decision.

[Morgoth]

I wonder if Hot Coffee influenced said decision.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Nah, I think it's just the general censorship... it's not the first time after all that something like that happens.

[EnderAndrew]

I think it's funny that games like Leisure Suit Larry and Singles are fine, but all of a sudden there can't be sex in games.

[Morgoth]

The difference probably is that in Leisure Suit Larry the delicate female parts were always well-behaved hidden.

Fahrenheit, on the the other hand, isn't supposed to hide God's gift natural beauty....it's a French game, after all.

But yes, I guess Atari fears to be sued by some jerks due to possible "naughty Exposures". And the "Hot Coffee" Mod doesn't seem to make the matter easier. But I'm not a specialist in US-Censorship, there could be plenty of other reasons too.

[EnderAndrew]

But it's okay to slaughter people en mass, but it is not acceptable to have sex?

[alanschu]

One of the bizarro traits of North American society.

 

I wonder if I should import the UK version.....although I'm not worried about seeing some boobies. Is that all that's missing, or is the sex scene(s) removed entirely?

[Morgoth]

According to what Dave said, the scenes are removed entirely... And I guess by removed I really mean "removed" (animations, art, sound etc.), otherwise some modder could initiate another "Hot Coffee" like disaster again, which is certainly not in Atari's best interest.

[alanschu]

Hmmmm..

 

Not one to miss out on the story however..... :|

 

If I'm feeling motivated I may import it, but I'll probably just get the local copy.

 

But Farenheit is a better name that Indigo Prophecy IMO

 

 

Decisions decisions....

[EnderAndrew]

But Farenheit is a better name that Indigo Prophecy IMO

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Again, I agree with you.

 

You're probably another one of my secret accounts.

[SteveThaiBinh]

I wonder if I should import the UK version.....

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yes! Support our (flagging) economy!

 

Maybe Indigo Prophecy works better in French or German? Or perhaps Fahrenheit doesn't work in Europe - I don't know how much the temperature measure is used outside North America.

 

Edit: I'm wrong. Indigo Prophecy is the North American title. I wonder why I assumed it was the other way around?

 

Why shouldn't Canada get the European version? Or do Canadians have the same attitude to sex ( :ph34r: ) as people in the US?

[EnderAndrew]

Judging by my wife (Kanadian) she is rather fond of sex.

 

:darque:

[alanschu]

I think we're a little less conservative than the US personally. We're like half European Half North American :D

[SteveThaiBinh]

There's an interesting article about Fahrenheit at Adventure Gamers: Link

 

I'm interested in the concept of 'bending stories' - I wonder to what extent there will be a single 'main' path, and how you will be able to deviate from that. The rubber-band analogy could suggests flexibility or that the game will keep pulling you back onto a single path.

 

I'm glad they feel they've had enough time to polish the game before release.

[alanschu]

Yeah, looking forward to it.

 

I'd imagine there can only be so much deviation, because he does want to have a strong story. But the elements and perhaps some of the conclusions and decisions that are made along the way are more malleable.
