In Memoriam - a disturbingly cool new adventure? - Page 4

Intrepid Homoludens · 10-11-2003, 10:57 AM

8-) Thanks, Leonard! That was informative. This game should raise a few heads.

I : "Could you tell me how different is "In Memoriam" in comparison with a game like "The Majestic" who did also use the web and did fail, mainly due to technical probs" ?

E.V : "Majestic did have a huge on line s dimension but the common points stop here .
People i know and who did play to (Majestic) has stopped it mainly for one good reason : they didn t understand the meaning of it and the fact they had to pay for playing it more was a huge problem .
With "In Memoriam" you just have to buy the game s cd for playing and finishing it .

"In Memoriam" uses a mixed concept who hasn t been used that much : you re playing on CD-ROM (with all the possibilities this medium offers : movies, music, deep interactivity) . And you go on the net for making some research and receiving e-mails .
The game asks for almost no download at all . No paying stuff to download, no need for a fast connection (only a 56 K modem is requiered)

The missions are clear : if you're losing on the web, some mails will bring you back on the right track !"

Thanks, Leonard

Definitely an interesting read.

You re welcome

Here is something who should interest Intrepid because it s totally answering his first post about the game and why nobody was talking about it at all :

I : "I m really surprised none of the video games magazines did talk about "In Memoriam", no previews, no tests... Is this a choice from yourself or is there another reason to that ?"

E.V : "In Memoriam is not a common game . For instance, it s not builted around a 3 D engine .
Giving it too early to video games magazines for doing previews wouldn t have made some sense at all because such a special game can t be previewed at all .

So, we did choose, alongside Ubi Soft, to communicate only with the mainstream press .
"Liberation" (a french newspaper which is published each day) talked about the game in his "movies" pages (!) one year ago .
"LCI" (french cable station tv) revolved one of his "web magazine" around "In Memoriam" .

The communication with the video game s press has only started a few weeks ago and their reactions are really good .
It s a huge surprise for gamers' journalists who are fond of Adventure Games (and also those who aren't !) .

There s a lot of people who are addicted to the game and you re gonna hear about it really soon in a lot of magazines" .

Burns11 · 10-12-2003, 09:03 AM

Sure, builted. Now I really want to play it.

If I think about it, it's true. A game of this kind cannot be previewed very easily... maybe getting mentioned in a magazine or a press release can work, but screenshots and other things may not do it justice or really work at all. (Similar to the game 'Uplink', which was all played from a simple mainframe interface, but had so much more to offer)

And thanks for translating!

Spoiler:
It's a picture of a group of physicists at the Shelter Island Conference of 1947 - a famous gathering that included the likes of Richard Feynman (Nobel Prize laureate in Physics) and Julian Schwinger (another Nobel laureate) - it was quite a "think tank" to say the least.

asgard · 10-15-2003, 12:35 AM

I'm stuck too in the game.

I got 3 names which would lead me to a 6 digit code on the web.

maria luiza alves
satô mai
victoria baring

When i type these names together in google, i don't find a site with the code.

Intrepid Homoludens · 10-15-2003, 02:15 AM

OMG, this thread's gone crazy! I started it as an introduction to the game, but now it's changed into a hints center. LOL I'm glad you guys are really getting into it.

twifkak · 10-15-2003, 02:59 AM

So it's out in stores now?

Intrepid Homoludens · 10-15-2003, 03:10 AM

According to Gamespot there is no NA release date as of yet. The game has been out in Europe since spring this year.
