We all have fond memories of the original Resident Evil and Silent Hill experiences, but developer Throw the Warped Code Out is taking things one step further by releasing a title on PS4 and PS Vita next week that emulates those tense and dramatic survival horror moments.
Titled Back in 1995, it looks just like a game straight out of the PSone 32-bit generation. "Explore a sparse cityscape in the year 1995, littered with clues about the past. Uncover the mystery of yourself, your daughter, and what happened to the city." There'll be fixed camera angles galore, retro 3D graphics, low res models and textures, as well as CRT emulation.
The game received a thoroughly mixed reception upon its PC release over three years ago, but let's hope the time and effort put into the PS4 and Vita ports makes the over 1000 day wait worth it. Are you interested in this PSone throwback? Scavenge for bullets in the comments below.

I was interested until I saw the Metacritic score. Yeeeeouch!
Im interested when they release Koudelka.
Looks awful. I’m gunna get it.
@kyleforrester87 Haha that's the spirit!
@LiamCroft But Does it have tank controls?
This has been out on PC for a long time, but I avoided it due to the abysmal reception it received. I do wish we would get actually good PS1-esque horror games, though.
The car I drove in the late '90s had neither power-steering nor ABS but I don' t miss it...
Man its smothered in filters and looks worse than alone in the dark 3 it'd need to be compelling as heck storywise to get me interested. Its pc only but consider "lost in vivo" instead.
They tried a little too hard to make it look crappy. Wouldn't have wanted to try it in 1995 let alone now. Interesting idea though.
@Areus I’m pretty sure it does, yeah.
I loved the Silent Hill series but I certainly don't miss the controls and wouldn't want to revisit them for 'nostalgia'.
There seems to be a limited physical copy run of the PS Vita version...
"Titled Back in 1995, it looks just like a game straight out of the PSone 32-bit generation."
Nah, PS1 never looked quite that bad. That is truly awful.
