I'm a few hours in now - it's no half life killer from what i've seen thus far, but for pure thrills and fun very few can beat it. Genuinely scary stuff too

F.E.A.R. is a totally different game than HL2. I tend to judge games on thierown merits...
I am glad you started this post though.. as I think this is the game I am getting next.
Played through the demo and completed it and liked it very much. The boys at gamespot gave it very high marks and vry little on the negative side.
The only gripe was that the environments were similar throughout with not alot of original diversity there..but then it does follow the storyline so..??
graphics..effects,atmosphere,and gameplay were top notch..and someof the best yet for a shooter.

How you getting on with game settings and getting this thing to run smoothly...
I'm using 1Gb Ram, 64 3500 AMD and a 6800 Ultra....and I can really gett it running all that smoothly. Every so often it seems to stutter like its loading more data to the graphics RAM. Apart from that.....gooood game! The first hour I played I was a wee bit scared :eek:

I got it last night and I love it. I also got Q4, but have not had the time to play it yet. This game is VERY demanding to say the least. GPU wise its much more demanding than say BF2, not sure how memory hungry it is as i've only played it on a machine with 2GB of ram which was plenty for it. My system specs are:
S939 A64 3700+ @ 2.5GHz
2x1GB PC3200
Radeon X800XL
I was messing around for atleast a couple hours with settings until I got them right. Soft shadows and volumetric lights will cause SEVERE slowdowns. With those two settings turned on and most of my other settings at Medium @ 1024/768 4xAA/AF my frame rates were horrible. Going into the 20's was not uncommon at all. Once I turned soft shadows and volumetric lights off, I was able to go with a good combination of maximum and medium settings and it was very playable with good frames.
I agree with jakk in that this isn't a HL2 killer. HL2 just has more... substance to it. Every level you advance to had something new which I really enjoyed. FEAR is much more repetitive. That's not to say it isn't fun however becuase it is. The graphics are VERY good and slow-mo makes them even better. The effects from gernade's are awsome and it has the best looking explosions i've seen in a game so far.

800x600 (ooh yeah!) at Medium Detail without AA (Ack! Jaggies!) or AF, running smoothly, without any memory swapping issues either. From what i understand FEAR needs about 900Mb of RAM or something like that to run at full detial settings, as such to avoid stuttering yoru probablt goign to look at 1GB+ on the RAM side of things, or reducing the lighting detail options (apparently this helps immensley).
FEAR is great fun, albeit very repetetive fun (its the sort of game that second time through i doubt i'll be doing in more than two hour stints), and very much an execution of amazing style over particularly deep substance. It lacks the somewhat "epic" feel of titles such as HL or Deus Ex in terms of variety fo game play or depth of storyline (there is a story there but tbh it's mroe about progressing from one industrial/office area to the next killing as much as you can, creatively as you can whiel doing so). Also, alongside System Shock 2 this is one of the few genuinely scary (well, until you get used to it) games ever made (having monsters jump out of invisible boxes does not constitute genuinely scary).
Money well spent on a great game that is excellent at what it sets out to do - however i cant see this beign one of those games where the DVD doesnt leave the drive for three months

I love how good the AI is in FEAR, you've really gotta keep on your toes. I love the style of play where you have to sneak around a little and not just go in guns blazing. The repetitiveness doesn't scare me off too much, but, like with Doom3, I would have liked to see some outdoor enviroments. The graphics engine is amazing, and I'd love to see what they can really do with it. I heard something rumered about that an expansion is in the works that'll have outdoor maps, hopefully this'll get confirmed sometime soon. So overall, good game.... BUT! It's soo short! Sure it's a tough game and you can't just blast through it like some FPS'ers, but I don't like the kind of games where you spend $50 for it and beat it by pulling an overnighter. Hopefully the modding community will kick in soon :t

10-20-2005, 02:08 AM
I haven't played Q4 yet, but from what others have said and from reviews and screenshots I've seen of it, it honestly doesn't impress me enough to buy it just yet, especially considering that it's main focus is on multiplayer.
RamonGTP
10-20-2005, 02:49 AM
The ironic part is that I had a good idea of how the gameplay was going to be and I thought I was going to like it, that is why I purchased it. I remember playing Q3A and had a blast with it, for some reason that style didn't interest me this time around. Who knows, maybe I just grew out of it.

reduced some of the settings from Maximum and diasabled volumetric lights an and its now flying at 1280x860 (or whatever the setting is) with 4xAF and 2xAA. Enev with some settings turned down...it still looks awesome.....I guess that you would require two 7800's in SLI to max everything out. Its not worth spending the best part of £600 on though.
Still loving this game....some really good full on Mayhem shoot out bits...some stealth too...and its still quite scary

Doom 3 was an awesome game.... I continue to find it funny that so many bragged about ( I remember all the posts..which were many on the more postive note....and many of you were taken aback and thrilled at the time.)
Now..after a year or so gone by , the game is suddenly getting ditched big time by those same people who loved it.
I am replaying several games I have..,many of which are still great games to replay over ( some I have replayed four times or more ). yes..,they may not be perfector have the current graphics detail of alot of todays games..but they are still good will always be. On that note, I have replayed Doom 3 all the way through about three times and although in someplaces it seems easier, I come away with the same feelings. Just like the first time.
Linear games have a tendency to get the worn out welcome mat I understqnd...and Doom 3 was dark..a bit too dark by most gamers accounts...but you should note that it WAS MADE that way for a purpose. Just the way ID or the makers wanted it to feel or look.
We all have opinions and a right to express them..and while that is a given, I just wish gamers would be a little more subjective about thier analysis.
AGAIN..., coming from just a comparison standpoint is NOT being objective.
this method does the game itself ..often times a bad rap.
I liked HL2 better than DOOM 3..but I judge each to what they delivered...,and they both delivered big time.My library would not be complete without them.
We as gamers are just so demanding. We want instant gratifications and want them to last forever.
A first time release of some potentionally great game ,andone that is from a lesser known game company is risky. We do not know what to expect...,have high axieties anticipating its release, then when it falls a bit short due to our overextended dreams perhaps, we tend to complain and give it negative reviews.
As I said..,I played the F.E.A.R. demo ( which was very good ) and could see the whole game being like this. I guess it would be well worth paying for. Its always a gamble to buy any game. ;)

Slow down there turbo. Come down from your soap box. No one is bashing the game, merely stating it doesn't hold their interest like it did the first time, which is totally understandable. Like you said, everyone has their own opinions, furthermore everyone has a certain amount of attention span. I may have liked Doom 3 better than Joe Blow, but Joe has a longer attention span than I do, so a year later Joe still enjoys the game as he did before where as that same game that I loved a year ago has ceased to capture my attention. Just the way some peoples brains are wired.
I could maybe understand the need for you long winded reply if someone said DOOM3 was a great game, then later that same person said DOOM3 sucks donkey nuts, but that is not the case. If I am an error and said person did contradict himself in the manner you imply, do correct me. If however no such contradiction was made, I feel though your very eloquent post will have fallen on deaf ears.

I bet some other store like Comp USA has it cheap also... Looks like I will be going ot somestore direct this time to get this game... morethan likely the first part of next month.
Again I am leaning towards this game solely because you guys are giving it such great reviews.

It only used to connect at 380 odd kbps - Shared between three of us, all hammering the connection 24/7. Upgraded to 1Mbit now like, but still only conencts at aroudn 850kbps (not the best telephone system round this neck of the woods - i miss my 2Mbit cable connection i've got at home - ADSL is just plain pants in comparison)

NTL at home, and we're on NTLFreedom ADSL though here - probably wait until our contract runs out for this year and then see about switching to ADSL2 when it starts rolling out

So i guess that was a hint to ask what ADSL2 is?
What is ADSL2 jakk I've never heard of that :p
Never knew NTL did Cable internet.....a lot of people i've heard from say cable is far superior to ADSL :(

The next version of ADSL - basically up to 24Mbps Download and 1Mbps upload depending upon how close you are to your exchange and quality of your line. See here for more:

As for NTL, theyve been doing cable for donkeys, in fact its the main form of Broad Band they offer (and until recently, AFAIK, the only one)

Well I guess its a given that this game F.E.A.R. is resource and video card hungry..and those who have later higher end video cards might experience a bitmore FPS....etc.
I have it currently setup to play at 800 X 600 with basicly all medium settings and the game runs pretty good ..that is of course until the fight-shooter scenes come in ..then the fps dips pretty dramatically.. but sincethis game has alot of slow mo action anyways..its all good..and I see it as just more excitement with the gameplay.
My FPS are pretty dismal compared to anything else I play or have.
The effects and AI really make this game. One of the strongerpoints I think is the way the controls are overall. Not overly crammed with too much stuff to key or configure..which makes the game more playable among the action and your strategies.
Currently... only quite a ways through the first level or two...andI like it alot
The fear or scarer factoris not so frightening to myself as others ..mainly because i have seen and played it all so to speak. Doom 3 was more scary.. They use more drama-mystery-mood and anticipation here. Sounds play a large part of it also.

Help..... I am enjoying the game also very much and I am sad to say that even though I am doing quite well up to this point I am at....I have finally gotten stuck at the place or level below ( in game screenie .... which is not as dark as it looks here.. much better looking )
Do I run through the shorted out electrode arcs or what?? I have it saved from the other side before the proximity mines are set off so I would not have to do it again. The pic. shows it from the other side and I know i have to get into the small office there..as I saw the corridor beyond.

I am enjoying it alot too... and so far I am breezing through it pretty good even though it is a bit slower thqan I might like in spots but very playable and good.
The reason I am posting is because even though I have yet to come across any point of being stumped ...,I am at a point now tht I need help on.
For purposes of explanation... the pic . below showsmefrom the ohter side and I HAVE saved a point before the proximity mines are set off..just in case ( good thinking heh? ) .
Do I run through the electrode bolts and try and get through the door or what??
I don't think you can disable them in this game... I have full health and one health pack left. The corridor inside the office can be seen so I take it that is the way to go?
The pic. is kinda dark but looks much better on my machine Thks!

Ahh I got a lil stuck there, Im in work now so its going to be a little hard to try tell you where to go, but let me see, if I remember correctly you need to back track a little, you will see a vent thats coverd up with the vent guard just knock it out and it will lead you to the other side, I think thats how I did it, as I said im in work so its a little hard to remember.
Rabbitrunner51
10-27-2005, 08:47 AM
Yeah.. I have pretty much spotted most of the vents up till now....its quite possible I missed one...
I can only imagine if you could play this game full tilt with no slowness that it would be even better esp. the effects which are top notch...
Replayability is there I think. So many different ways to shoot the enemy.. The game looks and plays great on my FX5900 card with 2X and 4x at 1024 X 768. Not up to par wiith the newer cards but graphics look sweet.

I finished fear a few days back and i must say that it is a great game!
Pitty i hadnt had a copy of Q4 prior to playing fear as it has killed any excitment that i could possibly have from Q4..
Fear flattens q 4 hands down.
I find q4 too predictable and same ol fps...
Im towards the end of q4 and nothing really did it for me (well not yet)
The only thing i could say that i enjoyed so far was the change formation into a strogg..
pretty painfull and gory for a game!
but if you have to decide between the 2 definately go for fear!

For some reason when I post a screenie it comes up here as a tad bit darker than what I see on my computer first hand.
The game uses alot of combinations of dark and light and shadow effects...but I would say yes.. the game is not a bright see everything as in daylight kind of game.
As it shows in that one above... the game is set at night mostly so far...and internally it is light and dark effects like only what the lights on wherever show.
Creepy is the word. The sound effects are awesome and some of the best yet in a game I think. I had to turn mine down to hear the phone messages.
If not for the FPS like in the newer video cards lately... my VC looks terrific all around...not missing a thing. I went back in a made sure all the settings throughout were set to medium and it plays very well.
Took some more screenies later on after the invisible zombie soilder guys...( they are fun. I like that they did not put too many in a single fight area like some impossible melee rather.. made it fun and then you go on.
My style of play is pretty deliberate and methodical... not rushing around and jumping into the fray the first time through. ( this game is toohard for that anyways) Some gamers like to play and finish a game as quick as they can..but its like good food. Enjoy it and chew your dinner.
Played it for about two and half hrs. this morning and that is probably enough for now.... not that I couldn't go on. It wil ltake me more than the ten hours they say is the norm for hardcore gamers...
My specs: P4 2.8GHZ @ 800FSB (Stock settings)
1 GIG Corsair Platinum ( 2-3-2-6 timings)
FX 5900 VC playing it at 1024 X768 res. with 2XAA and 4XAF on set
to medium game settings ( no volumetric lights )
Audigy 2ZS sound card and Z7700 7.1 surround speakers

Man..this game is scaring the SH** out of me...dont know about anyone else but this is probably the most atmospheric game i've played to date. On the Alice Wade level....anyone know how many levels to play after that?
Rabbitrunner51
10-29-2005, 08:42 PM
Atmoshpere is the word all right. The game does'nt really scare me all that much but what it does do is make you have a sense of hesitation and drama. The music or sounds are special and likethe reviewers said...the AI is very good. You move and they move... Fight scenes are really fun and I am having a blast fuguringthem out and gunning and shooting. Really.., the game allows for many different strategies to maneuver and gun down the enemies.
I played this for like 5 or more hours this morning early...,and I was just hooked and had to pry myself away... zzzzzzzzz
Am on the Interval Level 7 ,,hopefully close to the end of that. I thought after my team members showed up I was getingout of there..but then here you go again and it goes on and on. More than a ten hour game so far... a couple of stump points earlier in the level...but i figured them out Whew! ( cold sweat )
This whole part of the game is a doosy...and some will get stumped pretty good

Not bad so far, the enviuronment is way to square though and there have been more than a few parts where its taken me ages just to find a particular door or something like that so I'd be wandering about for 1/2 an hour or so looking for a flipping levator or some such rot. No game should make you do that.
One thing I have noticed, perhaps other have too, is that the game gets slower and slower the longer I play for. The HDD is acessed more often and flro longer and the game becomes jerky.
An exit to windows ands reload of the game fixes this so it looks like there may be some memory leakage or something occurring.
My gaming PC is no slouch, A64 4000, 1Gb X800 etc, and so the issue shouldn't really be occurring. Anyone else had this crop up?

Sounds like a memory leak issue. I remember FarCry had the same problem with a certain graphics setting. I however have not noticed that going on. My system is pretty similar. A64 3700+@2.48GHz, 2GB, X800XL. I also have my page file disabled.

Darn... I just wrote a big long reply and I closed the browser by accident.
In a nutshell.... the level designs are squarish... but five the designers some credit here. if you go around and forward... you usually come out on the other side.
A friend of mine said they ran this game using a very high end CPU and a 1800XT video card with 2GB good quality ram and the gameflew at thehighest res.with maxed out settings..so its hard to say just what rig is needed to play this game at full speed with all its glory.
It becomes obvious that with more ram and a higher speed CPU that the game would run a bit smoother overall.
The dreamscape sequences are special and I myself swear that when they are over i am not exactly where I was to begin with. Kinda a mindscrew.
Bullet timeis way cool and works esp.well I find..leaving one with a nice cinematic of yuorself and the particle effects and sounds. It does help in fight scenes. Replaying these.., is to each something different.
So far.. the bridge going out sequence had me chasing around for some time with my tail wagging....and that will stump alot of people..as its not obvious at all.
I too wish that game had more local variety as the game reviews pointed out..but i still like the game alot. I guess that depends upon the storyline when you come to think about it.
Another positive is the three save points. One can either take what he has, rplay the scene over or go back a ways a have more fun.
Over all just not many negatives at all from what i can see so far. Personally, I like figuring things out in games and they don't make you fry your brain too much or too often and that is good.
Now.... off to do some more damage. I keep telling them thier messing with the best. :r ;)

Remember when you asked in your previous post about the game playing a bit slow....well what do you think now??? I bet like me the game did just the opposite.
It is getting better and better FPS and plays beautifully on my modest last generation high end machine.
I just got done playing another five and half hours..and took about thirty screenies...and they look gorgeous.
I am in the find Alice Wade part near the end of that....( screenie below )
Am about to do battle with the rocket mech. ( had to go back and recollect some stuff as he is very hard to kill ) I already got two earlier in the game
Don't want to brag..but I am really good at this game and it fits my style to a tee
Some kind of game It will get 'Game of The Year' for sure

You're about 1/2 way through then.
I finished it. Some great FX in the ending but still pretty abrupt, just make sure you wait for the credits to end :)
I just shot the turrets, even though there were plenty of crawlspaces so you could avoid them if you realy wanted to. Taking them out just made it far easier if you want to backtrack and stuff, pity that level was so maze like.
I don't consider myself to be an uber gamer, I just don't use those stupid w-a-s-d control keys that most games come pre-configured for. They realy suck, though if you've never tried anything else you'd disagree. The only thing they are good for is giving you cramped, sore fingers.

Areyou kidding.. half way through ...really?? I 've been playing this for more than ten hours already.... Yeah i used the mazes alright.
You must be a really good gamer for someone who says they don't play ganes of this kind much or whqtever. I couldn't even consider using a gamepad of whatever you prefer for these type games. You must have an Xbox or something. Keyboard andmouse workreally well forshooters...but yeah..,my fingers do occcasionally get cramped or carpal tunneled. This game doesn't do that to me.
Its nice to know that the game is a longer than alot of people might have thought.
I can see why some would get tired of the maze like sameo running aorund offices and the buildings..but it follows the storyline so that is how they made it.
One of the first things that always come to mind when a game company comes out with a game like this with such innovation like the bullet time and effects and such is... I wonder what they might come up with next as a follow up if anything along these lines or other.
How long did it take in real hours for you to play the game all the way through?

Oh I still use the keyboard/mouse, just not the keys the gaming industry tells me to use.
For instance I use the secondary mouse button to jump instead of alternate fire which isn't used a great deal anyway in this game. Stuff like that.
As for inovation, the only new thing this game brings is the SlowMo and the dream-like sequences. Both done very well though. Take them away and you get a pretty substandard game with graphics a generation old and a plot that realy isn't up to scratch.
There are far too many 'find the button to open the door' puzzles, its linear in the extreme with ONLY ONE SOLUTION to all of the puzzles, and I found it frustrating to only be able to carry 3 weapons at a time. I prefer dual pistols, but I also wanna carry the shotty, a rifle and the plasma weapon but in this game I have to ditch one of them :(
Still, its an enjoyable game, though you still run like you're using a walking frame.
Took me somewhere between 13 and 16 hours I think. I don't keep track of how long a game is taking to play.

I just picked this game up this weekend as I was bored and decided to give it a go. I am addicted, this game is unbelievable, I normally cannot finish single player games as they are just too boring to me, however this one is special and was more than worth the money, the multiplayer happens to be pretty fun as well. I give this game a 10/10
Rabbitrunner51
10-31-2005, 01:23 AM
It is good... and I see Zybch's points as an alright assessment .. To each thier own.
The game is linear ..thats for sure..and in most games that gets pretty boring quickly.
I agree that the thing that bugs me the most is the run time.On fast run he moves like he has sloshes on. That is why they installed bullet time..and this is where it is most effective. It just makes the game period.
Remember Max Payne 2 ? I loved that game as the first and they did bullet time the best so far ,,but of course the character ran like snot also.
Overall..I just think its just unigue enough to be called something special
The game is linear ..thats for sure..and in most games that gets pretty boring quickly.
I agree that the thing that bugs me the most is the run time.On fast run he moves like he has sloshes on. That is why they installed bullet time..and this is where it is most effective. It just makes the game period.

zybch... if you ever get around to reading this... then I need your help.
I have only been stumped in this game once so far....and I hate it when I cannot figure something out. So far i have done bette rthan average so far in playing this...andI am really upset over a point in the game on Interval 11. It may well be the same point you said you got stumped at in your earlier post here.
Its in the level Ground Zero when you are running to get out and up to higher ground so the chopper can pick you up. I have gotten through about four of the spawning poltergiest tunnels in a few areas and now I am at the part where you come to the door that is locked ( after running down the short platform.) You have to jump down below.. and shortly thereafter three black tunnels spawn and here they come... ( the zombies ) .It would seem you have enough health and i got three to start and two more are in the rectagular warehouse area you are in.
My question is obvious... Where is the exit?? For sake of others who have not played the game yet... email me a private message... Please! It might be hard to remember I know..because if I remembered comig through this area I wouldn't ask.
I just die die die every time no matter how good i do because i cannot find the exit.
Still.... a fantastic game and the previous three levels I liked the best so far I think..esp. the warehouses and tenet dwellings. Very excellent graphics... The game has gotten a bit Creepier for sure..esp.the part previous to whereI am at now. Thks!
P.S. Anybody else with the answer is welcome to PM me also.

No its not that... I just didn't want to spoil anything for whoever hasn't played the game yet.... andI wrote him a private message asking for helpwith this particular area. If you ever get to this part of the game... this is a doosy.
Apparently.... I am like just a few scenes away from the end of the game..soon.
Anybody else can help if you want... Only the second place in the entire game
where I am stumped and die die die.... no matter what I try. Just very exasperating tobe so close and get stuck. LOL

the game has kind of the feel of HL2 but the scarey side really reminds me of The Grudge. Overall, i never had a game scare me so much. And no other AI i have seen can match this. 4.5/5 stars

I still didn't think it felt right. You just moved too danm slowly for a crack SAS-type guy.
Nice game though, but not a lot of replay value as it was way too linear.
