Some of the key features behind Fade to Black are the amazing texture-mapped levels which incorporate an advanced 3-D game engine in order to run the movie-like presentation.
This style of gaming promotes the use of the dynamic camera angles that are included to make the playing experience more versatile. Within FtB, players can expect to find six huge levels to explore with many sub-levels and sub-missions in each.
These lifelike stages make use of the various weaponry that are specialized for added firepower when you need it. There are also numerous high-tech gadgets to use in the stages. These allow you to get past a variety of stops and riddles that are there to halt your progress. Players can also marvel at the excellent cinemas that are shown as the story unfolds before, during and between levels as well as at key moments in the action. Fade to Black is played in a unique third-person perspective with a free-roaming camera that automatically changes at key points in the game.
This viewpoint also changes as you select a weapon. When a target is in range and the Square button is pressed, the view changes to a closer third-person over the shoulder perspective, allowing you to aim with precision at your targets. The digitized sound in the title adds to the heart-pounding tension felt by the player during an adventure. Opposition in these stages is in the form of electronic security devices as well as the Morphs.
All of the Morphs can be eliminated with minimal fuss, but many, however, don't go away for very long since they have the uncanny talent of constantly reappearing right in their original position. This is where the wise player learns where in the level it is better to turn tail and run rather than wasting time shooting the same enemy over and over again.
The rest of the levels in Fade to Black combine only small traces of a Flashback style of play in the title. The majority of the action can be compared to a demented version of Resident Evil with few hints of original play. Although many players may not like Fade to Black because it is a different approach to a popular classic, others may revel at the thought of something new to sink their bloodthirsty teeth into. As Conrad, the hero from Flashback, you wake from a long cryogenic sleep to face the same alien enemies you battled 50 years ago.
By now. Morphs have taken over the solar system and are out to enslave the human race. As you begin the level you start in the cryogenic chamber, where you receive your message from John.
In the message, you are given instructions to reach the Infirmary on level two and acquire the radar scrambler there.
The scrambler will then allow the two of you to escape without being detected by the prison security system. The action that follows depends on what you do next. The game is non-linear but you are still semi-restricted in the way you are directed to complete a certain action before you are allowed to proceed. Fade to Black is the sequel to the very popular game Flashback from Delphine Software. One thing that sets this game apart from all the other sequels is the fact that all the important aspects of the original game, such as items, ene- mies and story line, have been kept intact but with a totally new game design to it: a third dimension!
One of the reasons Flashback was such a big hit was the controls. Unlike other action games, players had to use complex moves to complete actions that would have been a breeze on other types of games.
In order to take out an enemy on the top floor of a level, you would have to jump up, hang from the edge of a platform, pull yourself up, duck, pull out your weapon then take your shot.
The same is true for Fade to Black, but the third dimension adds an entirely new challenge to it. Not only do you have to perform the complex moves, but you also have to watch your back.
The game does have a Doom feel, but after about 10 minutes of playing, you'll figure out that speed and the amount of enemies has nothing to do with the game. What the game does have to offer is strategy. It is the sequel to the video game Flashback. There are two components for playing a psx Fade to Black game on your PC. The first component is the emulation program which can imitate the psx OS and software.
Step 1: you can start by downloading a reliable and bug free emulator. Once you have finished downloading Retroarch , extract the downloaded. After, double click the RetroArch No matter what you do, you cannot change it. At times, you'll be on the receiving end of cheap shots because you cannot tell where you're being shot from.
And as alluded to earlier, the game is a bit difficult. Some of the enemies are just too powerful and accurate and AI seems to high. It's difficult to avoid getting hit and you'll die fairly often.
Another problem with this PC version is the control. The Sony Playstation's controller is set up nicely and favors games like this. It was very easy to maneuver Conrad and have him perform all the required actions. On the PC it's just not as easy. The keyboard set up is a bit bulky and a tad confusing. You cannot obtain the same fluid quality or feeling as you can on the Playstation. If you can look past these, you'll find that Fade to Black is an enjoyable game.
It's really fun and has a long and involved quest. The story is really good and pulls you in until the end, just as any good game should. Graphics: The 3D world is very nice looking, featuring detailed and realistic textures. Everything from characters and enemies is animated very well.
