Square Enix has released a new set of screenshots for the upcoming remake of the first Fear Effect game, Fear Effect Reinvented. Fear Effect Reinvented will feature improved graphics and controls, and aims to stay as close to the original version as possible.
The original Fear Effect was an action-adventure game, featuring cel-shaded graphics and environments that were composed of streaming or looping full-motion video. The following screenshots showcase the updated graphics that will be featured in the upcoming remake.
Fear Effect Reinvented was meant to hit stores in 2018. Or at least that’s what Square Enix has originally announced. However, and since there are only two months left, the game may slip into 2019.
Enjoy the screenshots and stay tuned for more!

Can’t wait to play it. Fear Effect was a pretty solid game for the time it came out, but in the wake of REmake 2 this is sort of underwhelming.
Leave it to SquareEnix, to find a way to hilariously under-deliver on a Fear Effect remake. That looks cheap as f***.
Should make the it like RE 2 Remake. Hate this fixed angle. This is 2018 not 1990.
“aims to stay as close to the original version as possible”….that’s the reason
The thing with the original is that it had prerendered backgrounds, but they were ANIMATED, which allowed them to go crazy with the graphics. This doesn’t look prerendered or impressive at all, it just looks like a regular 3D game but with static camera angles, way to miss the point.
I love the unique charm of old prerendered backgrounds or sprites. They often make games immortal in terms of graphics (visuals in the first Commandos game never get old!). They’re also very atmospheric and go well with horror themes. Someone should make a retro game using those old techniques.
