The continuing stream of new content related to the forthcoming Flashback lands here at Electronic Theatre once again, with a new fact sheet detailing some of the modernisations developer VectorCell are bringing to the videogame. Flashback is currently in development for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, and is expected to launch on Xbox LIVE Arcade and PlayStation Network late in 2013.
GOG is giving away Flashback as part of their Summer Sale. All you have to do to add Flashback to your collection is go to the GOG website or the game’s page.
Andrew M writes: "Almost three decades after the release of the original, Microids has announced that Flashback 2 will launch for console and PC in 2022."
I have zero faith in the execution after how bad that remake was.
Doesnt need a sequel.
I was so excited for the remake too... I loved the original so much. Maybe they can prove us wrong, but after the remake I don't have any real expectations for this either.
Yeah.
Highly doubt they're going to catch lightning in a bottle twice.
It was very much a product of it's time. Unless they have some real talent, we're going to end up with a disappointing, needless sequel.
An award-winning action-adventure game, developed by Paul Cuisset in 1992, Flashback holds a Guinness record and is one of the first games to use rotoscope technology for realistic animations. In it, you travel the universe in the year 2142 with amnesia stricken protagonist Conrad while he dives headlong into an insidious alien plot. This game will no doubt prove a time capsule of memories for some and nothing can ruin that. However, for those of you who have never played the original, Flashback Mobile offers a somewhat different experience.
This game was cutting edge on debut. I want to think I may have had this on 3DO, can’t remember. Maybe SegaCD.
Loved the original. It would be nice if this one turns out good.
The original was AWESOME. I still remember some levels passwords like "melord" and "Bubble". Man, this brings back the old good memories.
Yea loved the original. Total classic. Cannot wait for this
yeah, this an "Another World" were gems
Still have my original.
