"It’s that time of year again for Xbox 360 users. Microsoft’s Summer of Arcade is in full swing (Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons was released last Wednesday) and it only gets better from here. During the next three weeks (each Wednesday to be exact), we will see the release of Charlie Murder (August 14th), Flashback (August 21st) and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows (August 28th). To commemorate that, Microsoft reached out to us in order to share that they have teamed up with some pretty prominent Youtube stars to bring you some footage of these games as soon as they release."
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.
Flashback!!!
One of the greatest SNES games ever. Good to see a classic remake come to the 360 and the always impressive Summer of Arcade.
