Fear Effect Reinvented heading to Switch, PS4, XB1, Steam.

The fact there is no backwards compatability on the PS4 makes more and more sense with each of these PS1 and PS2 generation games being remastered or remade for the current gen. No excuse but the strategy seems to be selling us updated versions of older titles instead of just giving us the ability to just play those old titles directly.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Yep. Tank controls, fixed camera angles, puzzle solving. It's one of the good ones, though -- it's got a great aesthetic and an enjoyable storyline.

Not really, more of a mix of classic adventure game with shooter.
(I guess you could say it played like RE, but to me, it felt it leened more to the adventure game side)

With a better story and much more difficult puzzles. I imagine a lot of people will be using guides.

For anyone who doesn't know about Fear Effect 1 & 2, it was kind of styled like the older Resident Evil with fixed camera angles and some more challenging puzzles, but it was kind of more an action game with some horror elements and comedy sprinkled in. The horror element was more in the background and present in the second game though. It's probably more remembered for it's pretty unique aesthetic and raunchy at the time themes and scenes than the actual gameplay, but I'm incredibly excited by this news. Hope they're good remakes.

Should have been cel shaded imo.

Everything you said plus Dragon's Lair type quick decision or death.
I actually finished both in the last few years. Wonder how will they increase the content because the original is really really short.

It's not an overly difficult game, it's just unforgiving. Still, I own the original, and kickstarted sedna, so I'll probably be down to get this, if it turns out good. Originals are all but unplayable on an hdtv otherwise.

Will buy for PC ( for best graphics ) and Switch ( for on the go )
I went from "meh" on the Fear Effect revival to "thank you GOD" with this announcement. This is what I wanted to see first, give me this game on modern platforms looking a little better. Amazing concept, lore, world, characters. I am much more open to what else this team can bring to the series now
Such fascinating discourse, not derailing the thread at all!

Enjoyed the original game so much. Never played the sequel though.
Looking forward to this remake.

Oh yeah. Hope it's fixed cameras and pre-rendered and they change it back to a more cel shaded art style the further into development they go.

holyyyy shit. its back.
I don't remember the original much, but I had a psuedo-nostalgia boner thinking about it

I totally expect them to modernize everything about it. Difficulty included.

Didn't see this coming. Totally in it, loved FE back in the days. Hadn't seen that isometric one either
They better not make the backgrounds in-engine. One of my favorite things about the original were the awesome look the pre-rendered backgrounds had, and they had that creepy looping effect that made them really off-putting and dream-like
Nice! I was hoping for this but didnt really expect it.
I don't remember the actual execution being all that hard, it think it was more a matter of knowing what to do in each scene.

Honestly the 'sexiness'/lipstick lesbian stuff was mostly just a 90s advertising thing. Like that Jo Guest Battlecruiser 3000AD ad, or John Romero about to make you his bitch ad.
The actual games had a somewhat mature/edgy tone, but I doubt anyone would be offended by the actual content in them nowadays. No one markets games that way anymore anyway, if anything they'd be more likely to lean into the representation angle.

I wonder if it'll have tank controls...
Hopefully, Parasite Eve gets the same treatment too.
Yeah, I wonder if enough Inferno stuff exists that they could do that one too.
GTFO now.

I never played these games but I watched a friend play the second one for a bit. If this gets some modern enhancements and positive reception, I'm down for the Switch version. It doesn't look like it's going to be pushing any of the consoles too far, graphically.
The originals approach to realistically represented backgrounds mixed with simple cel-shading was pretty amazing at the time and reminded me of films like Ghost in the Shell or Patlabor. I have to say that the cel-shading isn't as bold this time around and it doesn't have an aesthetic that makes it stand out like it did (or still does) like the originals. Happy to see it being remade though.

Interesting choice for a remake. Would be fine if this leads to more.

Wow, I remember having the original. I couldn't beat it though.
