Geez, what a terrible song. It just ruins the whole thing...not that that looked particularly well done.

What the hell was that fricking music doing in that trailer?!!
This is supposed to be Indigo Prophecy, a suspense thriller adventure game, NOT Amped 2!!

Lol, exactly . That's just way too teenage American.
I think they're trying to appeal to the very mainstream gamers with this trailer. Could work, since the first trailer got the attention of the AG community and other gamers. I still think it's weird, though . |

And, it worked, too. I posted this in my Fahrenheit thread over at the Gamestudio forum, and one of the younger tikes liked it a bit and because of the music.

It's quite deceptive, though. That kind of music is typically associated with hardcore action games (Painkiller, anyone?). Indigo Prophecy is more akin to suspense drama and selected action moments, someone leaning more towards it because of that music might get pissed off as they'll not be getting what they expected.
Remember that intense techno/drum-n-bass concoction they used for the Broken Sword 3 teaser trailer?

It'll get more people to actually try out the game. This is a good thing.

Oh good heavens...
this will probably garner the attention of the guys that scream "EXTTREEEMMEEEEE!!!!!!!" ~ gratuitous Harold & Kumar reference Edit: Admittedly though, it's true that this will probably get more people to try the game out and yes, that is a good thing. |

Is Gamespot the only place to get it? I'm too lazy to register now.

In any case, I agree that it seems out of place in a game like this. |

^ What he said.
However, it's obvious why they chose it for marketing purposes. I didn't like it whatsoever, but I'm not the target for it in this case.

Every time i've downloaded a video clip from gamespot, when I attempt to open the zip file in winzip it says "invalid compressed data to inflate". What does it mean and how can I fix it?

Try downloading it from Gametrailers.com. Right-click on the media player icon of your choice to save the file.

Cool. I personally think the song is all right, how good it fits the game is maybe a different matter.
But I on the other hand didn't like the music they had in one of the Broken Sword 3 trailers. I really believe that music fitted much worse to that game then this song does to Fahrenheit.

Hmm. This game promises much and may come perhaps one of the greatest adventure game. What do you think, if this game will fulfill it´s potential will it be start a new hope for adventure games?
Or does the gaming culture just ignore it because it is "just" adventure game. Well, i am always hoping the best and fearing the worst. P.S Sorry my lack of activity in the forums. I try change that now on. |

As far as it being 'just' an adventure game, well that actually is also a critical part of how it's marketed. Let's face it, the Adventure Game, as everyone else outside this community of fans perceives it, has had this stigma of being boring and outdated. How do you position an innovative game like Indigo Prophecy as an 'adventure' game and expect it to draw in a large crowd of both newly interested people while offering something to fans of the genre? You almost truly can't expect it to, unless you market it as another kind of game given the reputation of adventure games today.

Marketing innovative games seems to me is a risky business. Even very good ones like BG&E sold poorly. I hope they do a good job marketing Fahrenheit. |
