Limited Run Games has announced Fighting Force Collection for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Switch, and PC (Steam). It includes Fighting Force and Fighting Force 2. It will launch in 2025.

Here is an overview of the collection, via Limited Run Games:

Who doesn’t love a good brawler? In Fighting Force, you and up two three friends have a simple, four step strategy: break things, get weapons, use those weapons to pummel people, and repeat as needed. It’s straightforward streetside carnage with a 3D flair, coming home to you in 2025 care of Limited Run Games.

Watch the announcement trailer below.

Are these even announced digitally? I didn't know Limited Run Games published games.

 

[ShirAhava]

Loved these games as a kid this is great news.....now if we could only get a psychic force collection

 

[Denton]

Huh, FF1 is I think the first game I ever played on playstation. It was ok, but by then I was already playing Diablo and Fallout was right around the corner, so my interest went there.

 

[//DEVIL//]

Man I loved the first one on PlayStation

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Another non Xbox release.

Wow, I haven't thought about Fighting Force in ages. What a pleasant surprise.

 

[theStartupSound]

Hmm … I would prefer a remake or at least a remaster instead. Loved the game back then, but I can’t stand the ps1 graphics anymore.

 

[Pejo]

3D 32 bit graphics are probably the worst generation for aging gracefully. 16 bit stuff will be forever good, "64 bit" and above is all salvageable, but this just looks horrible to my eyes.

I enjoyed these games back in the day, but I just don't think I could do it now.

 

[Alexios]

Eesh, the only good thing about this "series" was the initial Saturn tech demos that showed some creative technology and art direction, in the end the final game on other systems had little to offer and the sequel was worse off attempting to do something different to just refining the original game.

Yeah looks like emulated PS1 graphics + horizontally stretched cutscenes *barf*

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Nobody - I mean nobody - could possibly have asked for this.

 

[Generic]

These 3D games from the PS1/N64 era didn't age well.

 

[Ironman_Bad]

Couldn't this release in like 2 weeks? It's identical port of a 27 year old psone game

 

[Xaeroxcore666]

Yeah looks like emulated PS1 graphics + horizontally stretched cutscenes *barf*

At least for Fighting Force 2 they could had used the Dreamast version, which is more polished.

 

[Sojiro]

The first game I remember liking, but Jesus the second game is a hot mess. What an odd collection lol.

 

[pasterpl]

Another non Xbox release.

Cannot you play improved version via retroarch on Xbox?

 

[drganon]

I played the first one a lot as a kid. I'm sure it's aged terribly (and or was never that good begin with), but I'm still tempted to waste money on this.

 

[GymWolf]

Ok now i just need a the mark of kri collection and a remaster of psi ops.

 

[nush]

Eesh, the only good thing about this "series" was the initial Saturn tech demos that showed some creative technology and art direction

I actually played that, it was actually only the covermount demo that was rolling or video footage.

How many of the casuals look at that? Only us with dev mode systems

 

[TheGrat1]

I'll buy it just for some couch co-op fun. Never knew there was a Fighting Force 2.

Now, what I really need is for Sega to put out a Power Stone remake.

 

[darth.shrimp]

Is this the one where the big guy could rip engines from cars and smash the enemies with it?

 

[Audiophile]

Brought back some memories, I'd occasionally recall playing this game but not what it was called. I last played it ~23yrs ago on a neighbour's PS1, looked a lot more realistic in my head.

 

[Spukc]

Ah another limited fun release
