Yet Bowie played another part in the development, and made a second cameo in Omikron itself. Cage and composer Reeves Gabriel collaborated with Bowie on the score for the game, with all three working together closely on the project for a month straight. In total, the time you spend with Bowie's Boz in the game amounts to not much more than five minutes, all of which you can watch below. "I really directed very little in-studio because it was not needed." "For the role of Boz, we talked a lot about the proactive role that this character was, where he came from, what he sought, and David did the rest," he said. (There's demons, government conspiracies and ancient religious orders all at play in Omikron, and that's barely covering it.) Cage told Le Monde that Bowie needed only minor direction when it came to performing his character.

Bowie played the part of Boz in the sci-fi adventure, in which players try to save their own soul while hunting down a serial killer.īowie's role was small but central to the political machinations that in part drove the oddball plot.

Omikron: The Nomad Soul launched on Windows in late 1999 as the debut title from the young Quantic Dream, receiving a Dreamcast port the following year. David Cage, head of development studio Quantic Dream, spoke to French publication Le Monde today about working with Bowie on his first - and only - starring role in a game. I believe this game is a must at least try for every Dreamcast owner.David Bowie's death at the age of 69 yesterday has affected creatives across nearly all industries, with many offering up personal stories and memories of the multi-talent.

It is closest you can get to Deus Ex on PS2 or KOTOR II on XBOX (I know, that`s hell of a stretch).
Nevertheless it was so ahead of it`s time, and there are no games like this on Dreamcast. This is an exciting, but at the same time frustrating game at some of the moments. Player is expecting to play an action RPG, but then is thrown to solve quite challenging puzzles. Some might would have liked one or two, but all three? I easily see people get put off by this game. It included fighting, shooter, puzzles elements. Second - as the topic starter mentioned it was way too ambitious for it`s own good. There were even rumours, that there was a 70% ready PS port of this game. Shenmue and maybe Urban Chaos.įor me there were two problems with this game.įirst - graphics, obviously. Big open world (little to no loading screens between areas) (!), exploration, tasks with multiple solutions, dark sci-fi setting, great lore. For it`s time it was a truly groundbreaking game. My favourite game on DC, probably after Shenmue II. The intro with Kay'l's apartment, seeing the city, and the Security HQ was so compelling.Īnyways this wasn't supposed to be a stream of consciousness so much as open the door to the topic of this game. I watched where David Bowie sings at a club early on in a walk through video, and didnt get there myself and seem to have progressed way past that since im half way through - how do I get the game to show me that? Part of me doesnt want to continue out of fatigue, part of me wants to see what happens for the second half but 'first hand' without watching videos of it.
If they actually re-did this game and made the FPS and fighting mechanics somewhat decent, and the game more intuitive, they might have a cult hit on their hands that doesnt have glaring flaws. The FPS and brawler aspects are not well done, like at all, but there's something very atmospheric and esoteric about this one and it's an interesting concept to throw so many different genres together. Not really a fan of being forced to change protagonist, despite having the same 'soul' even it being the concept of the game. Also, was nice to hold onto Kay'l as long as possible before being forced to switch to another character. I have to emulate this one: the controls are absolutely horrid, but re-mapping buttons like Dpad to Joystick for movement alleviates it partially and save states for emu. Text walkthrough much better and even then some confusion haha. I was following a Youtube walkthrough until it became apparent the guy didnt know what he was doing for large sections of it. I youtube'd just for David Bowie's speech since all the hub-bub about Omikron and the new variant name Omicron.Īnd now Im about half way through - heavily reliant on tutorials since a lot of the conditional things you have to do to progress have not been intuitive to me. I'd be terrified playing this as a kid from how sinister it is.

Full of blood, demonic stuff, sex, depravity, etc.
Saying that this transcends playing the video game and the player is transferred into the protagonist and all that. From the first minute and even the title screen. Man all kinds of occult and demonic crap in this one.
