A Look Back on Fear Effect and Fear Effect 2: Retro Helix

GodisaGeek: "Some games are created ahead of their time, unfairly restricted by the technology, attitudes and conventions of their generation so that they struggle to achieve their potential and, by extension, their deserved success. They fall short of greatness not because of a drought of ideas or a lack of willingness in their creators to turn ideas into action, but because they are hamstrung by tech that simply isn’t ready for them yet. 1999′s pioneering action horror Fear Effect, and its prequel Retro Helix (released two years later), are examples of such titles."

What!? That is freaking great!!!! I really loved this game back in the day and was so pissed the Remake got changed and then eventually canceled. This is such great news that it’s the original. Will definitely get the plat for it.

Mr Pumblechook360d ago

The article mentions:

* PC
* Nintendo Switch
* PlayStation 4
* PlayStation 5

But why isn’t there a mention of the Xbox Series version?

Scissorman360d ago

Because they just don't sell enough on Xbox.

Yea that’s a Limited Run Games thing like what @Scissorman showed in the article. They’ve tried selling the physical versions of Xsex games, but they just don’t sell. But I’m fairly sure this should be digital for Xbox, if not, then it’s time to drop Xbox and come to greener pastures.

@CrimsonWing69, greener pastures.. Yep moved to mainly PC now myself get all the good games from both companies now if only Nintendo would release games on PC too.

so a ps1 game launched in modern platformos, mmmkay. I can play it already in emulators with high res, retroachievements support and more, doesn't make much sense.

Another 3 Cancelled Games You'll Wish You Could've Played

Zach writes: 'A few months ago, we took a look at three cancelled games that looked good enough to buy then and there. Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Heart of Gaia, Tiberium and Cryptid Hunter: The Legend of Kipling McKay all seemed to be primed for greatness, but were unfortunately cut short for a whole myriad of reasons.'.

Some cool concepts there. Maybe one day these ideas will get resurrected ?!

ZachMurphyQT2097d ago

I'd love for that, but I don't have much hope for Conflict and Fear Effect given Pivotal closing their doors over a decade ago and Fear Effect Sedna releasing...
Perhaps we could get the Collapse sequel one day though!

AK912097d ago

Only heard of Fear Effect from that list shame the latest game from that series was utter garbage.

ZachMurphyQT2097d ago

If you like squad-based shooters the Conflict series is to die for!
