[Gamescom] ‘Fear Effect’ Returns in 2018!

Published

on

Remember 2000’s Fear Effect? Don’t worry if you don’t. The game sported some awesome for its time cell-shaded visuals on the PlayStation and a creepy story, but was compounded by some frustrating controls. Nevertheless, the game received a sequel, and was scheduled to have another sequel for the PlayStation 2, but that never happened.

Well, at Gamescom, it was announced in a brief trailer that Square Enix is bringing the original game back through its Collective subdivision! Fear Effect: Reinvented is a full remake of the original, set for release on the PlayStation 4, XBox One, PC and Nintendo Switch next year. The game will stick to the original’s roots in that fixed camera angles will be used, but will obviously have revamped visuals and controls.

Definitely keep an eye out for this one.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
