this game deserves a remake now that computers and games consoles are powerful enough to do it justice

[@amylee4000]

Indeed, I have the original game and I cannot play it in a moder Windows 10 in 2021,. so sad,.. I tried the compatibilty to windows 95 but nothing,.. only the game install well but doesnt work in moder computer

[@michaelburke7978]

I would love to see this game remade on a modern engine.

[@candycommander]

There would most likely be legal issues as I doubt the contract extended to using his music on any future iterations of the game.

[@Tony_Regime]

@@candycommander maybe but I'm sure something could be worked out with his estate/beneficiaries.

[@TboneTenEighties]

Yes!!! So a head of it's time. 3rd person. 1st person. It switched up accordingly to situations like the supermarket shootout etc. Great game dripping with atmosphere n feeling. Ambitious as all heck.

[@Freshbrood]

This game is so underrated. What an amazing cyberpunk open world adventure with excellent characters story and music.

[@Draeber]

i remember playing this game and then this hidden gem appeared. Internet was not really a thing so for me I ran into something unique.

[@nawaf6993]

Oh man i would’ve loved to see him in cyberpunk 2077 he could have a field day on the philosophy and concepts in that universe

[@uscman]

As much as Blade Runner 2049, so sad he died before being approached to play Niander Wallace before Jared Leto accepted the role. I liked Leto in the role, but I wish we got to see him in the movie and work with Denis Villeneuve and sharing a scene with Harrison Ford as well...

[@nawaf6993]

@@uscman in the last night city wire (cyberpunk’s press before the game ) a director said that they thought about bringing recreating a rock legend who died recently I think it’s bowie because he’s the inspiration for johnny silverhand So what i want to ask is what’s your thoughts on cdpr reanimating bowie for a game

[@uscman]

@@nawaf6993 I think it’s awesome but I feel it’ll cause some controversy if his family didn’t give their blessing use his likeness

FREAKIN AWESOME.......I LOVED THIS GAME, AND I LOVED THOSE SONGS...THIS TAKES ME BACK 20 YEARS. TO A BETTER TIME......

[@jeanlouisgrandon4422]

Do you know what really made me happy when I read you? It's that I felt the same way!!

[@Freshbrood]

Do you guys know if Kayl can jump the fanblade into Gandhar's office? I think my game is bugged- any way I try he falls in the water.

[@ModMax69]

same. watched a buddy play it in a crappy trailer.

[@mchelo1979]

Came back to this after a million years because of Covid Omikron. Every reencounter with Bowie is so magical, even when prompted by some doomsday news................... You're so missed, Dave, this world has gone to the dogs without you.

[@therealartemisarthur]

Me too! Damn

[@austinsideburns]

Mee too!!!

[@Grandmastergav86]

Immediately thought of this from the mere suggestion of Omicron. I hated this game as a teen, I think i wasn't ready for it. Plus, i was playing on DC and it ran like crap. It's quite the unique experience it has to be said.

[@netshaman9918]

Same !

[@ALWTunes]

Hours was my favorite 90s Bowie album by a mile. Thanks for uploading this piece of video game history.

[@stolenname94]

I absolutely treasure this man

[@staylorphotography]

Just glad to see people who appreciate this game. A lot of videos and podcasts slam it. I guess it’s a bit nostalgic for me since I got it when it came out. Heck, I like neuromancer too which is really clunky looking but still has a mood to it..

[@Wavejumper]

You are not alone, the game is often bashed for his bad gameplay (wich is fair) but i think it's one of these flawed good games. Of course i have a strong nostalgia bias but i have no problem to replay today (i still have the limited collector edition). This world and atmosphere is so unique!

[@staylorphotography]

@@Wavejumper I have the original game which I can't play on any of my current pcs, so I did get it on Steam only to run into some really huge bugs that almost made me stop playing. I definitely get the clunky gameplay issues as well (not even counting the horrible bugs). I feel like it's a game I randomly want to play every 5-10 years, even if I only play the first few sections. Less bugs in the beginning as well as better missions..eventually, things just get weird and difficult to follow.

[@analienfromouterspace]

Man, I remember this game was sitting in my collection, I was a stupid not playing it at all.

[@candycommander]

When it released it was pretty cursed. No mouse support for the shooting sections and that one spot where the train hot box was too big so you died the instant it passed you lol.

[@tonyaitkenis]

A mispelling of the Omicron (B.1.1.529): SARS-CoV-2 Variant brought me here, I stayed for David Bowie

[@Scouragous]

Keep that evil shit away from here. We're jamming out

[@Daniel-415-Ponce]

Not a coincidence. Bowie's character in this game provides instructions that give the astute player a pretty good idea what this current (plan)demic is really all about.

that lip sync was something else for 1999

[@ericfaith2810]

Quite awesome for its era. The album Hours...was one of my favorites. I wonder if that guitarist is supposed to be Reeves Gabrels and the woman dancing is Gail Ann Dorsey. And....didn't Iman even have some dialogue in this game? I wish David Jones could have done much more with animation and music, but hey! Duncan is around somewhere hiding behind some orcs in Warcraft.

[@corentinlamy9949]

I may be wrong obviously but I don't think that's supposed to be Gail Ann Dorsey, since she didn't work on these songs as far as I know. And to represent this incredible musician as a dancer wouldn't really do her justice. But the other guy is most definitely Reeves Gabrels, since you could argue that those songs are Gabrels songs sang by Bowie.

[@CamPalinSmith]

'hours...' is one of my favourites too. Pain in the backside to get on vinyl record but worth it. Its my 3rd favourite Bowie album overall. 'The Dreamers' is absolutely superb.

[@Superabound2]

Definitely Reeves and Dorsey

[@slow-mo_moonbuggy]

The word Hours comes from the Egyptian god Horus. I think Bowie was a super creep.

[@torgo_]

Iman was a playable character, she even did mocap for it. I remember using her body as a character and checking out her apartment

[@Ilnath]

One of the first "modern" sandbox games

[@confuseatronica]

[@austinsideburns]

I got this game a year or 2 after release on the dreamcast, from the bargain bucket in my local games shop for very very little. It was immersed in it for months, such an ambitious expansive game, it has ellimants of every kind of game in it. Absolutely loved it, became an even bigger Bowie fan after experiencing the game.

[@Freshbrood]

I see your comments only 3 weeks ago! I'm just now loving this game emulated on Dreamcast in PSclassic.. But is it possible to beat the whole game as only Kayl? I think I have a bug where it is impossible for me to jump that fanblade into Gandhar's office- no matter what I do (as Kayl) I fall. Is it broken or do I need to change bodies?

[@austinsideburns]

@@Freshbrood It's 20 years since I played the game man! I cant remember the fan blade part, but i do know i got really stuck and had an indian dude re-incarnate me over and over during one really anoying part. Towards the latter half of the game I had to jump bodies to progress a few times. you usually get a very brief cut scene, with a hint showing you a body that will get you through to the next section.

Songs ok danceing someone's off there meds still rather good for that time line I wouldn't be able to do close to that I've only partly programed my own asteroids game but unable to get the shooting and destructive command to work the rest including screen moving no borders all good though still I failed 😔 but these movements just wow I guess it could be motion capture ied love to see thay behind the scenes lol. David cage is a bloody genius too not just cause same name. Wiring David Bowie must have cost a fortune as well that's very wise

It proves how Bowie was open-minded about art , associate your face to a video game in 2000's was not so cool for many people

[@StopFear]

You have to wonder whether David Bowie having starred in this game is a good thing. He could have just made some excellent videos and those would have had a better publicity and historic impact than this game which whole may have been cool at the time did not age well at all, and now it just looks shitty visually, no matter how excellent the story may have been.

[@Superabound2]

This game has massive historic impact, more than a mere album
