Anyone getting flashbacks while watching the trailer?

Yes, to Halo: Combat Evolved.

The Jungle looks similar to Halo's to/from your first encounter w/ The Flood. -Seeing the 'light bridge' just reinforced the feeling.

I have been playing the original on for the 3DO and enjoying the hell out it. Pixel Graphics shine in 4K or even 1080P for that matter. This is going on my Wishlist. Most likely it will be GOG.

Flashback was one of those Games. I still remember the issue of EGM that had it on the cover and like an 8 page spread on Gameplay pics. Think of Axelay on the SNES in terms of quality of Gameplay but the first Dues Ex Game comes to mind in terms of influence on hard core Gamers.

Where are the people now that say Gaming is dying? Imagine going to your home arcade and playing Flashback 2, Homeworld 3 and Armored Core 6 in one Friday night session?

OMG take my cash now and I'm feeling so old just now, has it really been 30 years ago since I played Flashback? I think I still have my floppy disks somewhere next to Turbo Pascal.

While only looking at the pictures, I thought it was Mass Effect: Andromeda all over again.

All I see is that chromatic aberration. And until they remove it from material/game/everything, I will not buy, heck I wont even do a test download that's how tired of this Chromatic aberration I am.

I enjoyed the original game and this does not do justice or inspire me
