Square Enix has announced that that French developer Sushee is working on a remake of the 2000 action horror title Fear Effect, titled Fear Effect: Reinvented, and that the game will be coming out on all platforms (PC, Switch, PS4, and Xbox One) in 2018. Sushee is the company that is also making Fear Effect: Sedna, an action strategy game that will be coming out later this year.

Fear Effect allowed players to take on the role of one of three mercenaries who are searching for a young woman in Hong Kong. The game included elements of Triad gangs as well as Chinese ritualistic sacrifices and supernatural mythology. It utilized cel-shading, FMV backgrounds, puzzles, and tank controls that had the exception of allowing players to run and gun at the same time, unlike in Resident Evil where only one action could be performed at a time.

Scarred For Life
Episode 267: The Legendary John Harrison and The Haunting (1963)
This week we chat with filmmaker, producer, composer, writer, author...this guy's done it all...John Harrison. From working with George Romero on everything from Creepshow and Dawn of the Dead to Tales from the Darkside to the Dune miniseries to his Netflix series Residue...he's done it all. He even directed Tales from the Darkside: The Movie, which was Andrew LaSane's Scarred for Life pick, which is one of Terry's favorite movies. We chat about his long history in cinema; about how he started working with Romero to some insights into Tales from the Darkside. And we discuss his latest work, the novel Residue: Paramentals Rising, which is a sequel to the Netflix show. After learning about his horror history--including a memorable viewing of Night of the Living Dead--we find out why The Haunting terrified him as a twelve year old. John references an article written by Anthony McKay in Little Shoppe of Horrors, which can be ordered here. You can find Residue: Paramentals Rising wherever you buy your books or at WordFire Press.You can follow John on his website or Instagram and Facebook.Follow Mary Beth, Terry and the Podcast on Bluesky.
