A Chilling Feeling - Fahrenheit Remake

A teaser website that now shows 6 Days and words make the tagline 'Guilt is a chilling feeling' from Fahrenheit.

Farenheit was such a class game, bit crazy but had me hooked, still listen to some of the tunes off the soundtrack in my car.

So, anyone looking forward to a possible Farenheit 2 in a next gen Heavy Rain kinda game?

I loved the first game, even if it did go utterly insane towards the end. Like bat **** crazy. Interested to see what this is about.

DarkJager

Definitely interested in this, absolutely loved Fahrenheit!

Retr0gamer

Not too sure about this. David Cage's stuff has progressively gotten worse. Heavy Rain had interesting ideas with how it used QTE's but ultimately for a game that relied of narrative the narrative was utter rubbish. Then Beyond was pretty much the worst game I've played in a very long time with the only fun being the unintentional comedy playing co-op with my girlfriend slagging it off.

If David Cage hires a writer it might be good. If he does the writing.... oh dear.

Mr Freeze

Fahrenheit was amazing.

Now, it did go totally crazy in the final 3rd, but up until then it was a really tense and entertaining game.

Kiith

I just remember running away from giant bugs and then fighting like Goku from Dragon Ball Z. Plus some sort of super AI that wanted to destroy the planet.

It was utterly mental :P

Don't forget the sex scene with the main character and his ex. When she calls over to get her stuff after the break up, if you offer her a drink and play the guitar, they end up in the bed room.

The controls were funny for the scene.

It was a great game when it you where playing the cops and the murderer and trying to figure it all out, but then it went mental with Matrix style abilities and Mayans and AI as opposing factions. It was still good, but the first half of the game was better.

Kiith

I failed miserably at that, and "blew it" on the first move...it was a sad reflection on my life at the time :P

:pac::pac:

That was such a weird scene, I was just hoping no one would walk in as there was no explaining it

hallo dare

Savage, hope it's true.

Same as that. Hopping the mouse off the mouse mat and two characters moaning on screen.

I didn't get the scene until my second playthrough and it caught me totally by surprise.

Another one:
When you are playing as Tyler and his misses decides to strip and dance for him.

I love those Quantic Dream style of games. Heavy Rain had some issues in the writing department but it was so atmospheric that it glossed over the weak bits. I loved the first half of Fahrenheit, before it went full crazy with A.I.s, ancient Mayans, super-powered fights, giant bugs, Area 51 and the possibility that

your character may be some sort of a zombie!

.

I'm only a bit into Beyond: Two souls and all I want to say is that it combines the best bits of Heavy Rain with the Worst bits of Fahrenheit!

Long story short, i'm cautiously optimistic but would prefer if David Cage would hire a co-writer.

Ol' Donie

Loved Farenheit. Count me in for the sequel. Or the first 80-90% of it.

corcaigh07

Would the sequel start off bat**** crazy and keep going from there!? It'd be interesting at least.

Don't forget the sex scene in a freezing cold train, he's already a zombie by then too!

I only got part into Fahrenheit; then I couldn't get past a part; I think I was fighting bugs or something an office.

I'd love a remaster instead of a sequel because I'm buggered if I'm buying a PS2 to play it.
Still have the game on disc though; bought it after Heavy Rain.

It's on PC. And it's ancient so I'm sure even a calculator can run it.

I was actually thinking about that. I hate PC gaming, but I might see if I can get my DS3/DS4 connected again.

Will wait to see what they're releasing first anyway haha

If you have an xbox 360 it's available as a digital download

Poor old David Cage, I think he gets an unfair bashing I quiet enjoyed all his games. He seems to be the go to guy for gamers when talking about bad writing but he is far from the worst. I say fair play to him for trying something different.

It is much harder to write and direct a game than it is a TV show or movie, not just because the script is much longer but you also have to factor a game into the experience and the random input from the user.

Yeah, I really like his games. But it seems split like 50/50. Half love him, half hate him. I for one hope he keeps it up, after I played Heavy Rain, which is probably my favourite game ever, Beyond is the game I nearly looked most forward to.

There's far worse writers but what makes David Cage laughable is he believes his games are some form of high art when they wouldn't even make abad sci fi channel original or ****ty cop show. Now he does have good ideas for his games but the execution is seriously flawed and when your game us relying on story and it's so bloody terrible there's not much left.

I find all his games open with a good idea and then quickly deteriorate from there. Really if he gave that idea to a real writer to work on his games would be pretty damn good.

Beyond Two Souls though is an exception. That game is just horrible and even its main mechanic isn't even handled well. Dreadful stuff altogether and the story is by far his worst with a plot twist I had figured before I even started the game and not even an interesting hook that kept the likes of Fahrenheit and Heavy Rain going until you it played its hand and you discovered it was all nonsense.

I've met him a few times and never got that impression from chatting to him, he talks passionately about why he thinks story, narrative and different game designs are important and why he would like to see more games take on new approaches but I always felt he was talking about an ideal that he is trying to work towards rather than saying that is exactly what he is doing and that he is the best at it.

I don't know, he can say all that but if he thinks his games are changing that status quo in anyway he is very much mistaken. I feel his games are getting worse and less interesting and really there's no defending his writing skills.

So it's quite likely just a remaster and not a sequel. Bit disappointed in that.

Mr Freeze

Will it be on the XBOX ONE and PS4 I wonder.

I would be a day one for me if it was.

Sounds like it's just for PC, bit of a balls if so.

Odd (or just a pity), considering it was on all platforms when it launched originally.

WeHaveToGoBack

Will be very disappointed if its not on PS4; you'd imagine it would be what with Sony backing them on Heavy Rain and Beyond.

Grumpypants

With Beyond planned for a PS4 release too they might look to do a triple pack and bundle all three remastered games together.

Mr Freeze

Between this and Grim Fandango Remastered not on XBOX, I don't know what Microsoft is at.

Retr0gamer

The original publisher and not Quantic Dream might have full ownership of Fahrenheit which probably explains the PC release, I imagine if Quantic Dream owned it Sony wouldn't let this off the PS4 platform.

WeHaveToGoBack

Hopefully, since it says it can be played with a DualShock 4, that means it will "just work" - if so, and if my computer can run it it'll be a no brainer of a purchase for me.

However, I'd love to have it on the PS4, or even the Vita if they're going down the mobile route.

Just saw Click Online post Fahrenheit Remastered is out now :eek:

Only on PC, Mac, Linux and iOS

Guess I'll change the thread title now and never play it

super_furry

A few updated textures and that's it? Really is there anyone out there who even wants to play through Fahrenheit again?

If this was on the XBOX One and cheap then I would.

But it does look like a half assed remaster at best.

Kiith

It does look pretty half assed alright. Still, for $10 it's not too bad.

It's an odd one alright. When Farenheit was released on GoG a few years back, it was done so by Quantic Dream themselves. This remaster, if you want to call it, is both developed and published by Aspyr. I guess QD did a licencing deal with them for it?

It's a pity games can't work like 35mm film isn't it

More likely the deal at the time was QD developed the game for the publisher with the publisher retaining the rights to the IP and not QD.

Well that's the odd part. If that was the case then why wouldn't it have been Atari, the original publishers of the game, who put the game on GoG and, more recently, the ones who commissioned Aspyr to develop the Remastered edition rather than latter taking up the publisher mantle?

Atari probably needed the money and I'd say buying the rights to publish Fahrenheit were bargain basement prices for that sort of thing.

WeHaveToGoBack

Anyone know if this will work hassle free with a DS3/DS4?
