While many games test the bodies of their protagonist, usually via scattered applications of bullets, only a few really worry about the mind. Crazy makes for an interesting spin on the usual plot, with questionable sanity being featured in everything from Final Fantasy 7 to Spec Ops: The Line to the meagerest of offerings in Kayne and Lynch. All of these games have one major factor in common: the sanity, or insanity, of their lead character does not affect how you play the game. When Cloud realized he wasn’t the Soldier he thought he was, when Captain Walker faced the horrors of war, when Lynch hallucinated civilians as cops, the gameplay remained unaffected. Cloud still managed his materia, Captain Walker still took cover before returning fire and both Kayne and Lynch traveled a lonely road down Mediocrity Lane.

"Fear Effect brings a classic to a new audience with a modest amount of work behind it - a more thorough remaster would have been preferable, but it’s good to see it playable on modern hardware at a fair price."

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.
The article mentions:
* PC
* Nintendo Switch
* PlayStation 4
* PlayStation 5
But why isn’t there a mention of the Xbox Series version?
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.
