SEGA's Condemned: Criminal Origins arrived as an innovative yet flawed Xbox 360 launch title, but is worth revisiting on modern consoles.
Would actually love to see a remake/reboot of Condemned. So very underappreciated... I was a bit of an Xbox hateboy back during the time this came out. But I did own a 360 for a short time back then. Thankfully this is one of the games I got to check out. Thanks to it being super cheap at a GameStop. At least it got a sequel, but it deserved to be a whole franchise honestly.
I didn't think the second was bad. It just didn't feel like the original, and went really off the rails with the sorting.
It was like playing Condemned while you're really sick, and Condemned was the fever dream that came after you went to sleep.
I am still playing Condemned 1 & 2. Both games deserve a remake or remaster. I am still baffled why 2 is not on the back compat list.
I wish we would get a new condemned
Holy crap this takes me back. That game was so intense, every fight had such an intense life or death stakes sorta feel to it. Emphasis on melee combat and finding anything you could to fight was so awesome too
Condemned is being talked about quite a bit lately. Maybe there's something in the works already and the seeds are being planted!
Criminal origins is my favorite horror game of all time. F.e.a.r is probably my second.
Man, I don’t payed the first 2 like crazy. I’m hoping one day we’ll get another one.
