Two interesting pieces of gaming news
8 years ago
So, there were two very interesting pieces of gaming news this week.
I'll start off with one that caught me completely off guard and that is a remake of the PS1 hidden gem Fear Effect.
This remake is being made by the same people who are currently working on the next entry in the franchise, Fear Effect: Sedna, and they announced it on their Facebook page with a CGI teaser trailer to give people a taste of what we can expect to see in terms of graphics.
They've promised that the remake will have not only improved graphics but also better controls, those who have played the originals may recall that the games used tank controls like the older Resident Evil games and this could be quite frustrating considering just how challenging the games were.
Here's the teaser:
As you saw at the end, this remake is coming out on the PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC, so everyone gets a chance to either relive a classic or even try it out for the first time.
And onto the other piece of gaming news.
THQ Nordic today revealed their newest IP which is called Biomutant, although there had been a leak a few days earlier when someone posted a photo of an advert for the game in a German magazine.
The game describes itself as an "open-word, post-apocalyptic Kung-Fu fable RPG" with one very VERY interesting gameplay mechanic, this is what's written about it on the game's Steam store page:
"You’ll be able to re-code your genetic structure to change the way you look and play. This will of course affect your attributes and in addition to this, exposure to bio-contamination in the world will lead to physical mutations like mantis-claws and barbed tails, while exposure to radioactivity found in bunkers from the old world will affect your mind and unlock psi-mutations like telekinesis, levitation and more."
So, yeah, as you read there, you will be able to basically mutate new powers in order to perhaps have a fighting chance against the other mutants that roam this strange new world.
And another interesting thing to note is that the game's developer, Experiment 101, consist of former Avalanche Studios employees who have in the past worked on the Just Cause games as well as the extremely enjoyable Mad Max video game.
They've released a CGI trailer that shows a little bit of the whole mutation thing as well as the protagonist himself:
There's no release date yet, but it is supposed to come out sometime next year, so this might be something worth keeping an eye on.
Update:
Heh, not even a day after the announcement trailer for Biomutant was released, we get a short gameplay trailer that shows us what to expect out of the game:
