anyone played this yet?! wow, i was impressed! :eek: awesome FPS that is kinda freaky scary. and i find the slow time feature to be just amazing! (i've not played a lot of other games out there with "bullet time," but i think this might be the best so far! :P) it's so fun to play it over and over just to kill guys in different ways with the slow motion + ragdoll + all kinds of other cool effects. i give it two thumbs up! very short though, but man...great demo. might be what a lot of people wanted Doom 3 to be! :)

just a warning, language/violence/scary...might not be a good thing for the younger kids ;)

download link...

if you really cant live without FEAR...
but you experience hell a lot of slowdowns in game...
i suggest you trying omega drivers :)
http://www.omegadrivers.com

as far as i heard they dont help to everyone (both versions helped me tho - omega nvidia for my geforce3ti and omega radeon for my ax600xt/td)
so USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
remember there is always 'system restore' function in win xp :)

yeah indeed... doom3 scaryness was all about shadows so whatever you see place with shadows... you are 'ready to be scared'.
thats crap :P
atleast from a demo FEAR looks really different :) mix of thrill, shadows, voices etc :eek: what do you need more? graphics card lol

I'm getting ready for this game sense Doom 3 did its fare share of scares. This one is all in the mind and not in the shadows =P

The Beta for F.E.A.R. is crazy, I just wish more people would get the beta so more newer names would show.

omg awesome game :)
autodetect detected high graphics setting so i tried with it :P
well... its playable... but game slowdowns quite often so i think i will change the graphics to lower setting :)
anyone knows how to get console for this game and what are cmds for showing fps?

edit: i fear FEAR :(
edit2: omg the demo is so short :mad: i bet all those mbs are just the graphic engine itself :mad:

I didn't jump out of my seat or anything with this, but it was one of those things that makes you spooked out during the point of which you're in bed with the lights out trying to sleep. At that point, I crapped my pants.

It's the aftermath of playing the game that will scare you. This game is AWESOME, it's the sole reason I'm going to spend a ton of money that I don't have to get a new PC.

btw 3th do you fear FEAR ? :eek:


bump! please answer this.


answer which? do i fear FEAR? :P it was spooky, but fear, no ;)

the real answer i think you're looking for is...i have to play on 800x600 rez (at least that's all that the games "auto detect" settings think my computer can handle). i have a pretty good vid card (radeon 9800 pro 128MB), a gig of ram, but my processor is only an athlon xp 2600+ (1.9 GHz). i think it looks pretty sweet graphics wise, i seem to get much better frames per second and quality than i did in doom3.

but with my graphics settings i still see jaggies and whatnot (only noticable when standing still really), as i don't think my rig can handle the anti-aliasing and anistropic filtering or whatever all the super graphics things are these days :)

hmm, what I understood from only reading some posts is that this is a scary, bullet-time, FPS-game?
Only game that sounds like to me is Painkiller, and if you haven't checked that out, please do! just google yourself to a page.. it's awesome..

I'm gonna wait 'til the end of this week and try out the F.E.A.R. -demo myself..

True, i forgot he may of meant First Person Shooter but then again me and Ris were just discussing how bad Frames per second we were getting so it was on my mind. :)

Yeah, its an awesome demo, and it will definately be an awesome game. Its everything, that Doom 3 wasen't. F.E.A.R. got MUCH better AI, better graphics (in my opinion :P), diffrent envionments (compared to Doom 3's overduplicated corridors), and its actually scary. A shame the demo is so short, but its a great teaser for the game. Try it! :D
