Both
GameSpot and
GameSpy has posted pre-E3 preview of
Indigo Prophecy (known as
Fahrenheit in
Europe), a new paranormal thriller which is set in near future New York City.
Developed by Quantic Dream for the PS2, Xbox and PC, Fahrenheit is scheduled for
release in September 2005.
The game will attempt to make players feel as if they are part of an interactive film, bringing them close to the action and the characters, and one of the ways it will do so is through its control scheme. There won't be an inventory system, items, menus, or action buttons. All interaction will be effectively restricted to dual analog controllers and the shoulder buttons (in the PS2 version). The left analog stick is used to move your character around, while the right analog stick is used to interact with various objects in the game environment. Each interaction will be mapped to a certain gesture with the right analog stick, such as pushing it forward to open a door. A set of icons will appear at the top of the screen when you go near objects you can manipulate, and this set of icons will serve as a key, of sorts, for the game's various actions. We didn't get our hands on the controller, but the interactions we saw featured simple directional presses that seemed pretty straightforward.
