French developer Quantic Dream has denied reports suggesting that Omikron II is currently in the design phase of development.
However, a representative did confirm that the title is "under discussion" as a potential project.
The original game, Omikron - The Nomad Soul, appeared on the Dreamcast and PC back in 1999 and sold more than 600,000 copies. It combined RPG, FPS, beat-'em-up and exploration elements with a story about demons nicking peoples' souls, and featured an overly-ambient soundtrack by David Bowie (who also appeared in the game).
The developer says it has not yet approached the Goblin King to see if he'd be interested in a sequel.

yup, me too, strange that. They must have very similar visual styles or locations is all i can think as i haven't played either Anarchy or Omikron, So their styles and atmosphere must be similar for me to make the connection. Cheers Ace, i'll pick it up when i see it next.

I really liked the original - it tried to do everything, so was a bit flawed in places, but had a really strong plot and a good feeling of exploring a different world - how often can you say that about a game....

For the time it was very advanced, with it's unique cities and body transfers. Some other parts of the game were less good, like the shooting sections, but overall I really enjoyed it.

and id completely forgot about the body transfers, which were a really well implemented idea (compared to other games that tried this)

The Nomad Soul was way ahead of its time. Very immersive, and a great soundtrack - Bowie's 'Survive' in the club leading you into the game will always be a moment for me.
Yup, that and the really early scene of coming home to 'your' girlfriend. Great stuff. Shame the bodyswapping rapidly diminished your sense of involvement in a character. |
