    Maybe it was a good game 10 years ago. But not any more, it's a QTE hell that drives players nuts. The game length is about 5 hours but i think i did the QTE for about 1 and half hours. that was about a thousand times i had to press bloody buttons. I don't remember how many times i thought 'did you really have to put QTE for this scene!?'.

    The plot was interesting in the beginning but it gets weird and boring after about 2 hours. It was like a hollywood movie in the beginning, then it turns to a bollywood one.
    Combine following 4 things and imagine the plot. Crime thriller, exoticism , Matrix(movie)/Wuxia(Chinese fantasy people can fly and shoot projectiles) and Mayan mythology.
    Just stay away from this game unless you want to suffer.
    Plot : 5/10

    Gameplay : -1/10
    Replay value : 2/10(Specially if you've played this ages ago)    … Expand

    I have played Indigo Prophecy before on the Xbox. This remaster, isn't so much of a remaster when you consider the horribly dated graphics, wonky camera and bad controls. The story is even worse, the stereotypes keep on barking and the pace is boringly slow. Do a favor, and dont install this one.

    The high ratings for the original "cult" game primarily arose from the way the game turned every trivial action into a QTE (Quick Time Event). Back in 2005, spammed wall-to-wall QTE's were humorously deemed by some to be "the future of immersive gaming". How wrong they were...

Back in 2005, spammed wall-to-wall QTE's were humorously deemed by some to be "the future of immersive gaming". How wrong they were... Whilst remastering a 1990's game which simply doesn't work on modern OS's anymore is fine, if a Direct X9 game that's a mere 10 year's old needs "remastering" but ends up looking or playing little better, then it starts to smack of one of those "cheap cash-in on the current re-release craze" games.

    If your idea of a "game" is "QTE's interspersed with gameplay" (instead of gameplay interspersed with QTE's) and childish games of "simon says" every time you pick up or move an object, then you'll probably love this... As another reviewer here said, the controls are so hideous that if you wanted to simply play it for the plot, you're better off just watching a Youtube walkthrough...

    Score : 1 for the plot & music, -9 for the abysmal QTE's.    … Expand

    Very disappointing. The story is good, but QTE sequences are nearly impossible to complete and it ruins all enjoyment from playing game.

    Gameplay is painful and half of the story is written by a Wattpad writer. There is literally a 10 minute long quicktime that if you fail you need to start all over again.

    Worst controls and camera angles ever ! Completely unacceptable in 2015 ! They completely kill the game and the whole atmosphere. You call it "remastered" !?! Try again !

    I played a demo version of Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy before its official release. It looked like a promising adventure game, but I haven't experienced the full version until now. I bought this game at a sale price, yet I still wouldn't have paid for it if I had known what was forthcoming. I recommend others to not purchase this unless if you want to play hours of quick time eventsI played a demo version of Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy before its official release.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Fahrenheit has got to be one of the worst, if not the worst, games I've had the misfortune to play. Simply put, it is truly an abhorrent abomination that ought to have remained a mere idea in David Cage's sick mind.
    Starting a new game, you are offered to undergo a tutorial where David Cage himself teaches you the controls of "Farnight". At the end, you are asked whether you find Cage's friend, a crash test dummy called Ben, sexy [sic].
    Moving to the actual game, you witness a most revolting intro cutscene that would put even Blasphemous's to shame. It only gets worse from now on.
    The game is full of redundant characters, and what's worse, it even has redundant scenes for these redundant characters. Tyler Miles, a partner of Carla's , is there just to check self-inflicted diversity quotas. You wouldn't be able to tell he is a detective because he looks and acts like every other hood nibba. You are expected to give a shyt about his white oversexed biatch who won't let him work at peace while she presumably does nothing the whole day.
    Another unnecessary character is Tommy, Carla's gay neighbour, who is there to provide an opportunity to whine about homophobia while they both laugh at Carla's bigoted joke about Roma Travellers.
    At one point in the game, Tyler and Carla swat a motel room expecting to find Lucas Kane there. Instead of Kane they only find David Cage fvcking some bytch.
    Later, Carla falls in love with Lucas and then they have sex in an abandoned metro car now owned by a bunch hobos. All this happens while Lucas is a dead, reanimated corpse with matrix superpowers, plus they do it stark naked in -50°C. Wtf, game?!!! The game doesn't even give you a choice, you have to endure the disgusting, cringe sexscene (you can't even skip it). Absolutely despicable...    … Expand

    This game, today it has an impossible gameplay, the QTE are frustrating and you can spend an hour pressing the f..g buttons. The history starts well, but is getting worse little by little, and the end is te worst. If you don't want to suffer, don't play this game.

    По сути, революция в игростроении была произведена именно в Fahrenheit.

Впервые игроки столкнулись с понятием интерактивной драмы, которая и вывела это стадо заблудших овец из тьмы неведения и ускорительным пинком отправила их в прекрасное и светлое будущее. Да, именно Дэвид Кейдж заставил кинематограф понести миллионы потерь на сборах кинофильмов. Теперь геймер мог творить сюжет, а сама игра стала повествованием. Каждый смог оценить все прелести нескольких вариантов концовки игры. Более того, в прохождении доводилось не только решать сложные задачки, но и вести обыденную жизнь персонажа, что делало игрока ближе к своему герою.
    Если игру переиздают спустя 10 лет, ты сразу начинаешь тешить себя надеждами о том, что она содержит нечто, чем ты не смог насладиться в ее изначальном виде. И ты изнываешь в сладостном ожидании, ведь сможешь увидеть дополненный сюжет, услышать новые диалоги, побродить по невиданным ранее локациям. Но вместо этого получаешь лишь улучшенную графику. Хотя и с ней не всё гладко.
    Да, визуально Remastered действительно стал лучше, но до современного уровня ей еще ползти и ползти. И если 10 лет назад местная графика была вполне уместной, то сейчас ее якобы улучшенное качество совершенно не делает игроку никакой погоды. Не спасают даже возможность играть в широкоэкранном формате, высокое разрешение и поддержка современных геймпадов. Зато ты можешь переключаться между старым и новым графоном. И знаешь, что ты увидишь? Более красивый снег, всё те же угловатые лица и слегка подкрашенные текстурки в некоторых местах. Ай да современные технологии!
    Если же ты действительно никогда не слышал и не играл в Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy, то в наше время она всё равно не произведет на тебя должного впечатления, ведь тебя уже не удивит тесное взаимодействие геймплея с сюжетом, да и «обновленная» картинка неприятно колет глаз. По сути, игру просто перевыпустили для мобильных платформ и, чтобы срубить побольше капусты, решили снова зарелизить ее на PC. Стоит ли тратить деньги лишь за незначительно подтянутую картинку, решать только тебе.    … Expand

    Horrible bunch of nonsense. The story escalates and develops like a train crash. David Cage is a complete hack!

    Gameplay-wise Fahrenheit aged awfully and Aspyr did next to nothing to at least make it look decently. No one in our office could tell the difference between the original game and the remastered version (apart from widescreen modes). [04/2015, p.64]

    Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy is still a powerful experience even if this remastered edition adds almost nothing to the original experience.

    The frantic button prompts, still-stupid stealth, and newly-introduced glitches make this Remaster way too unrefined.
