Quantic Dream is highly regarded as innovative when it comes to indigo prophecy and lately it's been getting a lot of attention for heavy rain...but they're working on another title as well (Omikron 2)

I think 'Omikron : The nomad Soul' didn't get the justice it deserved back when it came out. The game was pretty awesome. and by looking at what they did with Indigo prophecy and what they're going to do with heavy rain...I think Omikron 2 will blow people away if/when they release it. ;P

Note that there aren't any pics or videos of the game, but rest assured that they are working on it, It's extremely early in its development cycle....so there might be a chance it might get cancelled.

Omikron Karma is planned for rising generation of consoles. It is a very large project, very ambitious technically but also conceptually. We want to pass at the following stage, to create the most beautiful city imagined in 3D, a real world fascinating recipient of the play. There is a large work of returned for the next gen', of managements of blur, an important artificial intelligence. One will be able to control vehicles, to build robots and especially to establish and develop confidence and love, friendly relations with other characters.

Yeah, I know it's not a very reliable link but it's the only one that seems to have the most info about it (be it real or not), but It's definately a working title

This game will be awesome considering the amount of tools they have to work with today XD

according to gamespot...it's only in the PS3 section...but it's still too early to rule anything out eh?

Anyone else excited for this as I am?

If Quantic Dream's "awesomeness" is being based off of Fahrenheit then I hope it is only being based off about the first half of the game. It went really silly after a certain point and never recovered. It could have been awesome had they not ruined it. I'm still apprehensive about Heavy Rain, considering David Cage hasn't fully proved his ability yet.

It was known as Omikron: The Nomad Soul.

I think gamespot rated it a 6 or something, but personally, after I played it, I think they underscored it.... game deserved at least an 8 considering the time it came out and all the innovation it brought to the table....

As for the people who stated that the second half of Indigo Prophecy went downhill...Personally, I thought the only place it went downhill was the final scenes..namely [spoiler] rooftop fighting part to the conclusion [/spoiler] ...stating that half the game went downhill is a bit too far fetched if you ask me.

Indigo Prophecy.... yuck.... A good game but the ending leaves a horrible taste in your mouth. Way to crash an awsome story.

Once the supernatural stuff was introduced it went downhill fast. The concept was fantastic but the execution was not as good.

[spoiler] The beggining of the game (first murder) revolved around supernatural moments, his flashbacks indicated supernatural stuff going on, the bugs in the office etc all these supernatural moments were in the first half of the game..iv you didn't see the game as supernatural from the very beggining then perhaps you misunderstood it..........if by supernatural you mean the moment that he all of a sudden gets superpowers and fights on a rooftop like he stepped out of an over exagerated version of the matrix then leading to the mediocre ending, then that's toward the end of the game....personally I thought majority of the game was consistent...until around that rooftop scene...but that's just me I guess.

I remember reading an interview with David Cage and he said something along the lines of "nothing about Heavy Rain will be 'supernatural' ".....unlike Indigo Prophecy.

I didn't mind the sillyness, but what I did mind was the STPID ****ING STEALTH SECTIONS! They were so completely unneccessary as well! They were just flashbacks that could easily have been done in a short cutscene. I actually stopped playing the game during the second one because it was irritating me and I haven't played it since. Stealth sections in games are like my Kryptonite, it ruined Bully for me as well.
