From the creator of the original … and Amy :gulp:
Flashback Originswill update the classic and highly influential cinematic platformerFlashbackfor downloadable services on consoles and PC, according toa French blogthat must have way cooler friends than me.
If the provided image is to be believed, this update adds a HUD and places a greater emphasis on weaponry — that sound, that you heard just now, is the sound of a thousandFlashbackfans groaning. Trying to stay optimistic, I see the game more as a much wanted (by me at least) sequel toShadow Complex.
But then I must address that the rumored developer of this title is none other thanAmydeveloper VectorCell which, I can assure you, is nothing to be optimistic about — BUT VectorCell is headed byFlashback‘s original director Paul Cuisset, so who better to ruin a classic than its own creator? This will be his second attempt at aFlashbackfollow-up, predated by unreleased Game Boy Advance titleFlashback Legends.
I feel like a whirlwind of excitement and disappointment just rushed through me, and all for information and an image that may not be true. Let’s hope we’ll hear Originssoon. Or not. I don’t even know anymore.
