FEAR - quite literally
Downloaded the FEAR demo to give my new 8800GTS a run for it's money...I'd played it before on my AGP card, and didn't think the atmosphere could be much improved on with a couple of graphical tweaks, but after slamming everything up to maximum at 1600x1200, I must admit I crapped my pants.
Arm hairs standing on end, shivers down my spine, and hesitating before every corner. FANTASTIC!!!
Plus great AI, cool weapons, great slow mo (the close up kills with the shotgun leaving nothing but bloody mist hanging in the air are just stunning....in a really sick kind of way :) ), and the best atmosphere I've seen in a long time.
Going to pick up FEAR Gold tomorrow if I get the chance....awesome game.
-
Its been a game that ive always been tempted by but never actually got around to buying it. i might give the demo a try :)
-
It's a great game...........especially as you say "maxed out":)
-
action wise I thought it was pretty good, really good actually. Best AI use of grenades Ive ever seen.
the atmosphere created was generally really good, I felt it was quite badly let down by a really flimsy story though. I thought the final scene was impressive though ;)
-
yes.. maxed out is the only way to play FEAR..
brown pants.. brown pants..
-
Fear is a great game, well thought out, spooky and lots of action !! :rockon2:
-
The multiplayer is a bit good, maybe a bit too fast paced for my personal liking but all the bullets and bullet holes and flying shards of walls make it an awesome experience.
-
FEAR is a great game - I also liked the expansion, Extraction Point for a bit more of the same...
-
Yeah, just ordered Gold edition from Amazon last night for £18, includes Extraction Point. Bonus.
-
Ext Pt is abit of a half baked expansion..
But the original is still one of the best games IMO.. But 18 for the lot is a good deal..
-
FEAR multiplayer is a free download btw
-
its class... pure class. Loved every minute, got so into it I started and finished it in one session.
-
it scared the willys out of me and i didn't have it on full either
-
Does the FEAR Gold edition contain both the main game and the expansion, or is it something else?
-
Yup, main game and extraction point. Arrived this morning, and is sitting in my bag ready to be installed upon getting home.
I actually saw just FEAR in GAME (I think) this morning in their 2 for £15 pile. There's also a 3 for £10 with GTA II as one of the games. Sorely tempted, but don't want to be distracted from FEAR....

is a very good game for scary atmosphere imo
reminded me of aliens versus predator, which turned me into a shivering wreck and atm Stalker which has some freakishly scary moments in
