Flashback (2013)

Flashback is a remake of Flashback: The Quest for Identity and follows the same main plot as the original with enhancements in graphics, new dialogue, plot twists, and voice acting.

In general, the gameplay may be treated as identical to the original, but it is essentially enhanced as follows: wearing the goggles to access detective mode, where enemies and obstacles are temporarily highlighted; arcade air bike riding mission is introduced; aiming system is now 360 degrees; protagonist receives the experience for his actions to increase the character's level; level provides the points to improve one of three skills such as aiming, power, and vitality; 8 upgrades for each of 6 character's abilities are scattered on the levels; Virtual Reality missions allow the protagonist to master his combat techniques and get an extra experience; certain number of Morph Eyes should be eliminated on each level to gain a skill point; hand-drawn art from the original has been redrawn as 2.5D; achievements have been added.

Released in 2006, the PlayStation 3 had a rocky start thanks to its high launch price but became known for its exclusive franchises and Blu-ray drive, which doubled as an early home theater upgrade for many households. PS3 collecting is still relatively young — most titles are inexpensive — but the console's digital PSN storefront closure risk has pushed more collectors toward physical copies specifically to preserve access.

Gamevaro tracks Flashback (2013) for PlayStation 3 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Adding Flashback (2013) to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS3 release dates back to 2013.

Market insights

Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Flashback (2013), suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common PlayStation 3 titles.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
