#Gamescom2017 PS1 classic Fear Effect Reinvented gets first teaser and is not a PS4 exclusive

Now here is a pleasant surprise as 1999’s Fear Effect will be getting a face lift more than 17 years after it first stormed onto the Playstation. This time it will be available on the PC, PS4, Xbox One and even Nintendo Switch in 2018.

As support for Fear Effect Sedna quickly built up steam, we realised how much love Fear Effect as a franchise still had amongst gamers,” offered Benjamin Anseaume, founder of Sushee. “At the same time, we realised that as well as offering established fans something new with Sedna, it would be great to introduce fresh players to Fear Effect by remaking that first great adventure. Fear Effect Reinvented will capture the same spirit and atmosphere as the original game, but it’ll bring it into the present with drastically improved visuals, tweaked controls and other exciting extras.

Fear not, however. Those original fixed camera angles will remain in place, albeit playing host to some brand new high-definition visuals.

 

I remember playing the game on the original PlayStation when I was just around 8 years old and quite remember liking the then-impressive graphics. Not to mention since I was born and raised in Hong Kong it was also just cool seeing the city I live in, in-game. The game will once again follow our three mercenary protagonists, Hana, Deke and Glas as they race against time to rescue the kidnapped daughter of a powerful Hong Kong Triad leader.
