Ok, a lot of people remember old tomb raiders fondly. And a whole

Motha. Fuckin'. Fear Effect.

I occasionally watch longplays of both games just to appreciate how good they were. The cross between future-tech, chinese triad syndicate stuff, and the supernatural - especially chinese myths and legends. It all blends together so well.

Throw in multiple endings and a couple of twists and, much like Hana, you got a tasty pair.

Damn shame about Inferno though. Not to mention it wouldnt survive a reboot or being a classic survival horror, not today. RIP.

They were pretty shit tbh.

>>2767103
I don't think anyone knew about this game at the time. I've never heard about it till later. So there you go. It wasn't marketed well and nobody cared.

Only gripe with this game is that there are a lot of QTE style deaths if you don't stand at the correct spot in a scene. So you better save constantly.

>>2767103
Fear Effect 2 was easily the best looking PS1 game.

>>2768673
The artstyle and pre-rendered backgrounds make it hold up fairly well even today.

That doesn't even make any sense. What were you expecting from a ps1 game? A fucking 1080p 60fps real time high res textures?
And even back in the day the survival horror genre was getting repetitive and lame, that game brought a new atmosphere that blend blade runner asian-futuristic atmosphere with heavy supernatural, mafia etc.
And you went full retarded saying it is "anime resident evil". The game was developed by western people and the artwork was HEAVILY influenced by, hmm, guess what? WESTERN COMIC BOOKS from that time.

Seriously, chrono cross ain't got shit on these graphics.

That's kind of an apples to oranges comparison, anon. Fear Effect is a focus on characters, Chrono Cross is a focus on settings.

>>2769078
Much like everything else in the game, this is just an animated texture. It's not actually rendering the facial structure.

That's the beauty of low res graphics, you put a bunch of non descript random dots together and when you look at the bigger picture bam, you have perfect a wall texture.

Hey girl I'm sorry about those horrible posters you had to deal with but don't worry baby we all ain't like that. Hope you stay on /vr/ and discover there are nice posters as well~

I refuse to come back to this game until there is some sorta update to the shitty ass controls.

Like the bomb defusal puzzle at the end of the first mission. Chances are you're gonna die your first time there.

Come on man I like Fear Effect but you're delusional if you think the game isn't filled with deaths that are totally unfair the first time you play it.

>>2772774
Replaying Fear Effect/Retro Helix after you've beaten them several times, it kind of loses its charm. You know the solution to all the puzzles, and any that are "don't step on this tile" aren't exactly difficult.

I don't blame an anon for watching a longplay to reminisce without going to the trouble of replaying.

come on man there has to be some kind of challenge and penalty for loosing.

>>2772805

I just don't think that's really so much a problem is all. I did die a metric shit ton of times but never the same way twice.

Plus a lot of the death animation where pretty sweet.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYl0guQTQSI

It was just the style of the time.

>>2772903
Man, so many /vr/ tier games had dozens of unique - and unapologetic - death animations. I miss that in modern gaming.

>>2772927

No kidding. For all the YOU'LL DIE A LOT hype that games like dark souls and its ilk get the actual deaths are rather underwhelming

>>2772903
>come on man there has to be some kind of challenge and penalty for loosing.

No one is arguing against challenge and penalty retard. There's a difference between dying because you fucked up and dying because the game is filled with one hit kill traps the player would never suspect during their first run.

>>2772937
>the game is filled with one hit kill traps the player would never suspect during their first run.

there really isn't as many as those as you seem to think there was. Or at the very least it's pretty obvious when you shouldn't be sticking your neck out in front of a gun ship

>>2772940
You're probably right I haven't played the game in like 15 years and was actually thinking about giving it another go a little before seeing this thread.

>>2772943
Just do it.

>it's still hormonal teen bait any way you look at it.

Well, kinda. you're not wrong but at the same time it's very hard to call a lot of the stuff in the games gratuitous. The characters of Hana and Rain are very sexual by nature and the game and the world don't shy away from reflecting this. Yes Hana and Rain flirt and get hot and steamy with each other but that's kind of something couples do and by the end of the game you do really get the sense that they're actually a real couple.

There is more to the setting than just fap bait even if the game wears it's fap bait on it's sleeves.

>>2777336

Nope. Bungie. Would you believe.

>>2777351
Then why the hell did you even bring it up? Oh wait, I know, you're trolling.

>>2777356

teh fuck. It was a pretty innocent question guy. Both FE and Oni are more than a little inspired by the same anime, I wouldn't be shocked to see if they where by the same guys

>>2777336
no, it's just a case of similar aesthetics and advertising (read: erectnippling the mc).

>>2777356
Not that guy, just answered a question. Though he seems to have answered back to you anyway and you're being an elitist dick about it.
To digress a bit from this thread topic for your "amusement":
The fact is that as time goes, the lines of what's considered retro are gonna be stretched a bit. I don't see why PS2 can't be included here since there's a clear line between that generation and next one when digital distribution and HD resolutions really took off.
Also PS2 and its games see as much discussion on /v/ as /vr/ "approved" consoles and games do i.e. almost none unless it's some series with recently released games.

>>2769075
western? nigger are you dumb? shit was going for that faux anime look to it. even the creator mentioned that on some old as game mags.

I knew you were gonna pull the ps2 will soon be retro card.

I still have a Fear Effect T-Shirt.

I work in the industry and we had a day at work where they wanted everyone to wear their most obscure game related clothing. I guess I'm too old because literally nobody recognized my shirt or said anything. This was a couple years ago but I was disappointed how nobody that works in games, at least where I work, recognized it.

>>2777659

It's weird to think of the game as "obscure" I know it wasn't exactly MAIN STREAM but it made more than a few covers and had plenty of adds

Pushed it to limit for sure. I was playing the dreamcast more at that time, and I remember thinking this is just about as far as they can take the PS1. Chronocross was one of the later PS games that was really good looking too, though a bit of a disappointment otherwise.

>>2780510
>This is the best looking game on the PS1, right?

one of the better ones certainly

Guys, I'm playing this game right now and I fucked myself. I saved right before a boss with my health in the red, I die from one hit. Is there any way to regain health aside from at scripted points or do I basically have to start over?

>>2781267

Roll. Roll a lot.
