[koc]

2 sucked, i hope this one doesn't disappoint.

+1 ......

why did fear2 suck?
i liked it...
it wasnt great, but it was a good game imo... play time was much longer than other current games, story was ok, graphics were really good, the mech levels were awesome...
i think there should have been more enemies, and they should have been a bit weaker, that way it would have been more fun... but it was cool like this too...

why did fear2 suck?

You obviously didn't play the first, which was absolutely amazing and was developed for pc only. The singleplayer game is one of the best horror genre games ever made, the graphics, the sounds, the atmospherse, the controls were all top class. The multiplayer part of the first (FEAR Combat) was released for free after 6 months, it was great until all the cheats and hackers ruined it

The second was a lame console port with lots of blur to mask the crappy dumbed down graphics and they dropped the q & e lean which worked so well in the first. The second was also made far too easy and they had to increase difficulty in the first patch, made to suit console players

I hated FEAR2. It was entirely pointless. No sense of achievement for completing it. Storyline was lame. You just get to the end and go 'oh'. I was never ever remotely "scared" [or taken in by atmosphere]. Blood everywhere just doesn't make a horror. It just makes me wonder why anybody with telekenetic ability or similar fancies ripping people apart and smearing them around the place. Surely after the first few you just be bored.

IMO The movie intro was crap. It is entirely used to hide the lack of in-game graphics or measureable progress. The hype engine is being powered up and I'm betting on a disappointing final product.

screw F.E.A.R. 3!
NOLF 3 needs to happen

[saaya]

hmmm i need to play the first part then
i liked the second, except for the consolish controls, yeah...
about atmosphere... it was ok, there were some scenes that were really nice n scary, like the scene in the school or when your in the underground labs and the creeps are jumping around and climbing the walls, and uber soldiers get activated all around you

fear2 is based on UT3 btw, im pretty sure about that...
the same water effects and other stuff was pretty similar too... and it makes sense as they ported it to several platforms, only ut3 is really good at that... and it still looked good on pc imo... not great, but good!

tbh, the ingame stuff ive seen from fear3 in that video look the same as in fear2...
so its probably fear2 part2, also based on the ut3 engine, and also ported to several platforms...

trailer failed to draw my interest


turing into SAW

Lol, it's not Unreal Engine 3. Not even by miles. Besides, why would they do that since Monolith has been doing their Lithtech engine for ages and used to be the main competitor against Quake and Unreal engines for years. All FEAR versions are using evolved versions of Lithtech Jupiter EX.

[Razrback16]

But Monolith made the first... They aren't even the developers, they're just collaborators if this info is correct. The demo worked flawlessly for me, through steam no less!

The video was fine, but a lot of people had issues with the sound not working properly and apparently it was a coding issue in the game with certain sound cards and when Monolith figured out how to fix it, all they said on their messageboards was "oh, sorry if it didn't work on the demo for you, we promise it'll work in the real game if you buy it", lol. I remember a bunch of people on their message boards telling Monolith what they thought about that and getting banned immediately for saying anything in any way negative about the game or Monolith's handling of the development. That right there solidified my stance on not purchasing it. FEAR 3 would have to be a knock-out great game in order for me to even consider purchasing it if Monolith is involved.

This.

Looks like it will be more action packed,previous titles (fear 1) was about the fear factor.

[HelixPC]

I agree, while playing FEAR 1 i always wondered what the ending was like, the story was interesting, while playing FEAR 2 , i wasnt interested in the story at all, game was good tho, story sucked compared to the first one. Monolith has created some of the best PC only games, anyone remember these games below knows what im talking about

SHOGO
No One Lives Forever 1 and 2
Blood 1 and 2
FEAR 1
Alien vs Predator 2

[Hell Hound]

Condemned It wasn't pc only but still a nice game.
