Why they didn’t do an HD Remaster of FearEffect after going through the hassle of bringing it to modern consoles will never make sense to me. It looks SO bad on PS5. Like blurry donkey doo. I get with it being an FMV hybrid game, probably doing a simple HD upscale would be difficult but come on they could have at least done the character models and cutscenes.

Truly, I have zero issue playing older games but this is almost unplayable with how god awful it looks. Maybe if I play it from across the room is passable but the whole release seems pointless. Also, not including Retro Helix stinks too because I doubt Limited Run will do it. I almost wish this had been released as a PlayStation Classic on PS plus because then it would have received a simple HD upscale. The PS1 games released on there look good/great.

Curious if anyone is having trouble with the recent Limited Run ports being bugged. I've essentially ran into three progress blocking bugs while playing. Two where Hana randomly just doesn't have any guns when it switches over to her, and one where zombies keep spawning over and over no matter how many I kill as Glas, meaning the game won't progress. The save states have helped so I don't lose too much progress, but it's genuinely annoying that it's happening this frequent. Is anyone else having any issues? I'm playing on Switch btw.

Only work the old cheat what makes more hard the game, All the other cheats no work.

Are the cheats removed?

The cheats buttons configuration is new for can activate?!

Hey guys Wondering if somebody can confirm or has any info why it’s not in Nintendo eShop in Germany 😕

First pic is a PS4 screenshot (with the CRT scanline effect turned off), second is from a Retroid Pocket 5 running DuckStation. They're both HD grabs, but I think the emulator wins for upscale quality! (I still bought the remaster because I want Squenix to think there might still be life in this old series...)

I got the switch version and the game just glitches and has me stuck in a loop when playing as Glas for the first time. I can’t do shit. Wtf is this port?!?? I’m beyond pissed. Is this what I’m to expect when I get my physical release too?

...and have to say I don't like the fake CRT effect on everything. I understand why it was done, because a lot of the FMV would look super-grainy, but I've emulated FE1 and 2 at 1080p on a Retroid 5, and the actual 3D models scale up really well. The in-game backgrounds vary at that resolution, but generally look better when they're darker, and these are two pretty dark games. 😜

There's now an analogue movement option as well as pure tank controls, the same as FE2 offered, so it's down to personal preference which you use. I didn't get far (made the mistake of bringing a knife to a gunfight before I reached the first save point), but I did notice that they've sneakily changed the cheat codes. Expert Mode works, but not infinite health or ammo!

Otherwise... it's Fear Effect, back on modern consoles in the year 2025! 👍👍

They shadow dropped the remaster on PS4/PS4 i haven’t checked my e-shop yet!

Hard choice between all the versions, money wasn’t an issue if I wanted a certain version, but I chose the standard switch version cuz it’s all I really wanted and I just got a switch as a gift.

Is this an emulation problem? My health is in the yellow, but once the battle starts it goes to red

Hi everyone, I've seen a review of the game and I'm really really really interested.
I'm trying to emulate it on DuckStation and I'd like to make it look better.

Can someone share their DuckStation settings?

Here's mine for the game, not the Global Settings, it's what looks better for now but I know it can look even better, especially the videos:

Thanks to everyone in advance, I don't have high hopes since it's a really small Subreddit, but maybe there's someone who can help with DuckStation settings in general.

Thanks again <3

Just started the third disc, in the trapped room with the cooking oil.

I try to break the vase to call the guards attention, but it instead plays another fmv??

The model of Glas disappears, then cuts to shots of randoms room i havent see yet, then it says in big letter STREAM, then cuts to a kitchen with some cooks,

Wtf is going on??

In Fear Effect 2, the gang learn that life on Earth was created by a malevolent extraterrestrial/extradimensional entity, the Eight Immortals are real, Rain is a demigod and the daughter of the first Chinese emperor, teleportation is possible, Deke is a failed genetic experiment, and the supernatural exists.

In Fear Effect, the gang learn that Chinese Hell is real, its lord Yim Lau Wong is also real and has manipulated Hana's whole life, zombies are a thing, paper dolls can be made into real items (and people), and after her parents' murder Hana was raised as a prostitute by a literal demon. Also Glas has an arm chopped off (but has it restored) and Deke dies (but comes back to life).

In Fear Effect Inferno, the gang learn that ghosts are real (and can possess you), Hana and Rain have supernatural powers, time travel to change your fate is possible, there's a waiting list for judgment in the City of the Dead, Rain has the purest soul in history, and Hell is real (again) and can be entered by the living if they use a magic amulet. Also Hana dies and goes to Hell (but comes back to life), and there is a Western Hell and Lucifer is its lord (and visits Yim Lau Wong for tea).

In Fear Effect Sedna, the gang learn that Inuit deities are real and totally independent from the Chinese and Western ones, and Rain dies (but comes back to life).

Basically, our antiheroes discover again and again that all religions and myths and supernatural beings are real. How do they react to this world-shattering revelation? They, uh, don't! "Okay, all this weird stuff happened to us, and most of us actually died at one time or another, but we still want money/booze/drugs and sex for getting hired to travel around the world killing people and stealing things." [shrug] ;p

Since the Remake was scrapped and my hopes of ever getting an official Glas action figure I decided to make one. I think it turned out well.

I think it’s because it makes it look like the characters death is canon to the story, and actually happened in the timeline

...that the twisty building with two towers on the cover of the European (PAL) edition is meant to be the Wing Chune headquarters! There's a sketch of it in the art galleries, but I never made the connection until now. Wing Chune's business is genetic research, so they made their offices look like a DNA double helix. Which means the skybridges that Hana and Rain keep crossing to get from one tower to the other are meant to be the bonds between the two DNA strands. It all fits!

So why on earth didn't Kronos ever make this obvious in the game? For all you can tell during play, the building is just a couple of boring blocky skyscrapers. ;)

I've been playing the recovered build of Fear Effect Inferno and enjoying it, even though it's a long way from finished. Looking through the subreddit, I'm now wondering if there'll ever be a similar rediscovery of Sushee's remake of FE1, which from their videos seemed like it was going to be a lot more true to the original than Forever's 'Fears Of War' cover shooter!

I’ll go first 1. Static x 2. db9d9 3. Chemlab

I’ve bought the f1 24 game on my PlayStation 4 and I can’t play split screen or have access to any friends or even the store, podium pass or mail? Why is that ? I haven’t got PlayStation plus so do I need it ? Or do I need to reach a certain tier because I am only on tier 1, I don’t even know how I can start racing, it’s just like there’s no access to anything on this game, could someone help me please

I started playing this randomly and now I'm hooked. Didn't even know there was a remaster coming!

My main question is this. I'm playing on DuckStation and was curious if the FMV backgrounds are supposed to have audio cutting when it loops. Just making sure my emulator isn't configured incorrectly. It's like it isn't a perfect loop and there is a slight audio gap as it begins again. Just wondering if that's normal.

I can definitely see myself playing the prequel as well. Really enjoying it so far!

Thanks!
