Flashback HD remake on the way – rumour
Flashback, an excellent 1992 adventure platformer from Delphine Software, may soon be accessible to a whole new generation of gamers thanks to a planned HD remake.
An unconfirmed report of a new Flashback project has surfaced on French site Gameblog, which received an image showing off some fancy new graphics for Conrad’s adventure.
The image was sent by an anonymous source, and no further details such as date or platform were provided. It’s not even clear if we’re looking at a remake, sequel or just a bit of fan art.
That said, France’s CNC, an arts funding body, has awarded €300,000 to Vector Cell, a studio founded by Flashback designer Paul Cuisset, for something called Flashback Origins.
Also, it’s an excellent idea, so I’m filing this one under “quite likely”.
Flashback was a Prince of Persia-style cinematic platformer with puzzle adventure elements. It appeared a year after stablemate Another World and the two are often compared and contrasted as highlights of the genre.
Thanks, XboxYGen.

It was SO amazing. I’d be more than happy to fork out for an HD remake, let alone some sort of expansion or follow up.

I preferred Another World. Both fantastic games though. I don’t think a HD re-skin will improve them.
I’d definitely buy a re-make, just not a re-skin.

Another World already got an HD up-scaling for its 12th Anniversary. Still looks beautiful, still hard as nails. Flashback was alot more forgiving.

I’ve never hated a game more than I hated Another World. I can still feel 7-10 year old me hating the fuck out of that game.
Playing Limbo just brought it all back. I hate that game with an appropriate fraction of the passion reserved for Another World.
