one of the best and unfamous games that have ever existed, i won it twice and i'm still in love with it, and i have a lot a of memories every of it, from when i was a child, and i was afraid of the demons! jaja :) david bowie you're genius!
This game had the ability to really suck you in in a weird kinda way. Very interesting game and the soundtrack is great, adds to the emotion of it all for sure. I'm not a gamer but this one had me hooked, didn't want to leave it.
Who makes brave games any more? Nobody. That's why all PC games prior to 2005 are the only one's that will ever be classics, like this 1999 game...!!!!
Great song. I disagree that the level of technology wasn't there for them to make it a better game. It just wasn't fleshed out enough. There should have been a lot more to do in the game to justify such a large open world. I still loved playing it because it wasn't just a typical shooter, or just a simple adventure puzzle game. It was more like a 3rd person action RPG that we have today. They should have expanded a lot more.
ooow, this brings back beautiful memories! such a brilliant game! That's it, I'll slip Bowie's Hours... album into my stereo again, it's been too long!
I love the guitar tone in this song. Hours is one of my fave albums, but I have no idea if I'd like it as much if I didn't play the crap out of this when I was younger.
i heard somewhere that they are making a omikron 2 called omikron KARMA comes out for PC,x-box 360 and PS3but...its first coming out somezhere in summer 2010
Who knows if it WILL come out. On April 6 2005, Omikron 2 and a new franchise, Infraworld, were announced to be in development. Infraworld was canned only a few months later as "the concept did not appeal to its publishers". [7] Heavy Rain took its place. Because of Fahrenheit's surprise critical and commercial success, Karma was temporarily put on hiatus to focus production on Heavy Rain (an extension of the Fahrenheit formula).
man... I hope that they make an Omikron 2 finally instead of all this "Indigo Prophecy" and "Heavy Rain". I really hope they hurry up with all that copyright crap or whatever it is that's keeping them from the sequel. It WOULD be awesome if they could remake this with better quality as well. That'd be the friggin best. And put it on 360 or something. on PC I'd have requirement problems since I've got a laptop with Vista. Need more ram. plz Xbox.
Immersion, depth and originality. This has what's been lost in modern gaming. The man tapping his finger in time to the music in this vid speaks volumes for the above. This game IS hard, but that's because it's REAL in a way most games are not. The characters and world are sophisticated, the story convoluted. It is this that sets these great games apart.
i got so stuck in this game. The roberry at the mall happens, and this head honcho guy has a tekken style fight with you. I never win, and as soon as you lose thats it. you get revived and i dont know how to make any progress after that. it was a clever game with lots of freedom and potential, but i just couldnt grasp it at all
The Supermarket Robbery is actually only a side-quest of the game. It doesn't affect the whole game plot. You may lose and let the thief escape. If you beat him, you'll get a Mana Potion. That's it. You still can proceed throughout the game.
Download the game??? please tell me. I tried downloading it from this other guy but it just didn't seem to work or the directions weren't right. I used to actually own this game but this stupid relative of mine stole it then ended up screwing up the CDs beyond use or repair like everything else she steals. And the Game's rare so if you know how to dowload it PLZ tell me.
This game kinda brings out the best of David I mean they both go hand in hand and i love David and this Game. Still have my D-Cas. I hope to have a sequel or remake of this and the D2 hopefully to come out
Yes and no, see QaunticDream is a really small company and I mean really small. They have very little staff so thats why they released very few games. But they have been working on Omikron 2: KARMA in between games.
They also said they might work on it after Heavey Rain has ben realsed.
They keep saying they are going to make an Omikron 2 but then it seems like they keep shelfing it.. I really really hope they make it. PLEASE IF YOU ARE READING THIS, MAKE OMIKRON 2!!!! lol, Omikron was deff. one of the best and coolest games I have ever played. The visuals and the music is amazing!
I love that game, but this is David Bowie's song! Bowie was the perfect fit in that game surreal world! It was a very nice addition to those night clubs seeing Bowie on the scene!
@fafar2005 Yeah the game has a special place in my collection. I have it on discs but I would buy re-edition more stable on win7 (still managed to finish on w7) and with even sligthly updated graphics ANY time for even double regular-title price :) And I agree no other artist would fit so perfectly in this game... First game to have motion capture, and till today that's the best use of this technology so far :)
I remeber playing Shem mue and this, and having a LOT more fun with Omikron. It flowed a little better, not to mention all the voice actors sounded like english was there native tounge :P
That's interesting, I got Shenmue for my ex gf cuz she liked games, I got Omikron cuz it looked trippy, I became addicted and have yet to see anything like it since.
This was back when game developers were cool. They took chances and wanted to push gaming forward. Ever since the turn of the century, the gaming medium systematically flushed itself down the toilet.
I love this song. IMO one of Bowie's finest. I still have Nomad Soul for the PC and it's one of my favourite games ever. Shame it's so underrated Nomad Soul IMO.
great game, I agree. I liked that you could access all the videos at one point in the game. Oh, and that Bowie was an actual character at the end, love it.
Man this game would crash in the same spot at this certain point, soon before I was gonna meet Boz. :/ But I loved it, so innovative. Bowie is always involved in great stuff!
@Wormboy74 Even 5 years ago, this was 6 years old! No respect for older games any more, that were cutting edge at the time, given the level of technology!
Wonder if you would say the same about a Charlie Chaplin film: "Funny - but crappy film quality and no colour!"
@Wormboy74 what do oyu mean? :) this was 1999 for one and secondly facial animation in this game was even a bit ahead for its time for videogame standards :)
Omikron. Whoa, dude. I thought I was the only one who played that game! Thanks for this video. I looked EVERYWHERE for omikron AMVs. Thanks plenty. :)
I was at this gig. It was a little tricky to get in and they only played the one song but it was worth it!

Actually Omikron was release 6/22/00..
This game fell victim to Over Hype and Being forced out the door before it was finished.
Its a shame too this game showed us things that we have never seen before in a game. It was a good efford by Eidos.
The Omikron Story is phenominal I hope some game company picks it up and does a revamp on it. I would sure pick it up again.
