Ubisoft and Vector Cell have confirmed that they'll re-release the classic side-scrolling action game Flashback on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 platforms by releasing the first video with the new and improved experience.

Flashback set the benchmark back in the 1990s for side-scrolling action games by featuring a great premise and impressive mechanics.

Now, over 20 years later, Ubisoft together with Vector Cell, a new studio formed by veterans who worked on the original, have confirmed that they'll remake the classic title with all-new visuals in high definition and in 3D.

In order to show off the brand new game in action, a special video has just been made available.

As you can see above, while the story and side-scrolling gameplay remained the same, the graphics have been reworked using the Unreal Engine 3 and it's looking very impressive.

Flashback will be released this year for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 as a downloadable experience.
