Fahrenheit

Posted by michael on from the metric-system-still-not-catching-on dept.

LukeG writes "As games developers constantly seek new methods of tapping into the mass market, the French team at Quantic Dream have taken their inspiration from the television in developing 'Fahrenheit', what they claim will be the world's first interactive TV series, an episodic 3D-adventure set in New York. Here's a full look at this interesting development." See the company's website (Flash-only, unfortunately); or there are several other previews out there (1, 2).

    Its unfortunate because html would be viewable to 100% of people. Did I need to explain that? Theres nothing on that site that makes it NEED to be in flash.

    I for one was misled by the headline. The company's website explains
    "Fahrenheit" is an original concept that sets out to create a video game in the format of a television series. The product will consist of 6 episodes of 6 to 8 hours.

    A new episode will be made available every four months as a CD-ROM in the traditional distribution circuits.

    For those who don't, you'd buy the toys, then sit in front of the TV and shoot at the bad guys to rack up points (or good guys if you had a bad guy's vehicle)... and the TV shot back!!! If you were hit too many times, you're vehicle's pilot would be ejected!

    Oh, those were the days.
