The Mediocre Zone | Fade To Black : Flashback 2 (1996) PlayStation 1 HD
18a game that ruined the FlashBack Ip brand so much...not even the mediocre remake helped revive it... welcome to a revolutionary game at its time ... the first over the shoulder camera TPS ... with horrible TANK controls... guess now we know from what game Resident evil 4 took the idea hahahaha ...
The version we play here , is the 1996 remaster on PS1 ... as in "we added textures on those Polygons , added a code system , a mini-map, fixed puzzles and added a quick save" ... the 1995 Dos version was a polygon based game , with different inventory system and had more bugs then we see in the PS1 ...
So what was so Horrible in this version:
Tank controls ... i miss the roll gun play :(
Shooting mechanic with no ability to cover yourself ... some would argue you could strafe left or right, and duck ... but all enemy shoots are 100% accurate , they never miss
Horrible Health system ... that's build around a portable battery ... that powers all your gizmo's ... like wtf ??? if the battery dies , you die ... why they did not fix this issue, by adding a health bar and a energy indicator is beyond me ...
So yeah ... at the end i just said "meh, not wasting more time on this horrible game" ... and saw the movie file showing the ending ... you kill yet agin the overmind but now with the help of some alien race , escape in a ship with your new lady friend... but one alien ship escapes .... the end
Onward to the next game...
