FEAR was fun, wish the Demo for PO didn't take 8 hours to download

Still playing FEAR, mostly in dark, for extra scares.
Now I play the waiting game for FEAR 2.

I really wanted to enjoy it because of the awesome shootan but I hate being frightened.

Quite large muzzleflashes are quite large.

Fucking devs trolling me by ending the demo right at the big robot

FEAR 2's demo made me shit more bricks than any gave has in the past decade.

>>26178951
Brightness up, sound low, put some music on in the background with winamp or w/e you use.

Not especially scary but you can still enjoy the awesome visuals and shootan.

Wish the PO demo was longer, played it like 8 times now.

I just finished playing the demo for 2.

Man, that shit with @Maximum settings is fucking awesome, remembers me a lot of Killzone.
But i didn't liked it tough. Enemies take way too much too kill, and your character has too much health.
Also, the game is about ghosts or OMFGMECHASBOMBSWARFFFFF? I'm confused.

After playing through the first FEAR, I doubt I can ever bring myself to play the others. There's only so much dread one man can take.

I loved the first one as it knew exactly how to get to you, don't get me wrong.

That fucking ladder part, fffffffffff.

>>26178771
I got mine from here:
http://news.bigdownload.com/2009/01/22/download-f-e-a-r-2-project-origin-demo/

Now, if it still takes you eight hours to download it from there, you should consider NOT using the shittiest connection known to man.

Anyway, I played the first FEAR and the two expansions. I don't care what anyone says, all of it was awesome. I played the FEAR 2 demo last night and I'm definitely going to buy it when it comes out in February.

>>26179010
F.E.A.R. 1's demo ended with the same shit

>>26179032

>Enemies take way too much too kill

erm what? They die like instantly, enemies in the original game took a LOT more hits before dying

I'm going to have to put the game on hard mode when it comes out just because I'm used to way stronger enemies in FEAR

Ladders are fucking scary.

What the fuck?

I played the first levels of FEAR, but I didn't like ir much. It seems like another generic shooting game with some lame boo scares. It's hard to be scared when you are playing as a tough ass marine.

they fuckin cut off the demo at the only fun part, the mech battle. the rest was walkin, walkin, walkin, kill 2 enemies, cheap scare tactics, walkin walkin walkin, repeat.

FEAR is not scary.

Don't be such babies.

>>26179032
Shouldn't you be at school right now?

WHY DOES IT TELL ME WHAT THE KEYS DO ALL THE TIME

MAKE IT STOP

Those ghosts in FEAR 2 scared the living shit out of me, goddamn.

Only part of FEAR I enjoyed was the multiplayer on the original, FEAR combat. It was free and fun until it became easier to hack.

>>26179017

What the fuck? I don't think you have played any scary games in the past decade.

Fuck you Alma.

I'm lazy to look. Does anyone have a link to a good FEAR1 torrent? I used to have the game but it's long lost.

Also, I played the shit out of the demo. I LOVE it so far -- and it scared the shit out of me at parts.

>>26179154
Yeah, that's FPS games for you.

That small F.E.A.R. 2 demo had more variety to it than in 0.5 chapters than most modern FPS games have during their entire campaign.

That fucking ghost.

>>26179157
I remember the second ladder part where as you went down some sort of humanoid peeked around a corner.

I didn't go down, we just sort of stared at each other for a minute before he turned to ash.

Did anyone else feel a little stupefied when you located Sgt. Fox and then 2 seconds later...

Seriously what the hell.

I hope you can change the controls for the PS3 one. Shooting with R2 is the stupidest thing ever.

>>26179048
Don't got much of a choice at this school.

>>26179161

>HURR HE DISAGREES WITH MY OPINION SO HE IS A UNDERAGE XDDDDDD

Aren't you edgy.

FEAR plot isn't good. It's all about shit jumping at you, and the SUPER ORIGINAL little girl with long hair.
The gameplay is good, the graphics are good, the sound is good. But the rest is kinda generic.

i beat the demo on hard. It wasn't even that hard.

The mech was going to explode so I got out, killed a couple guys, then I heard it say "repairs complete" and you can use it again.

>>26179244
So, let me just get one thing straight. The Alma in your screenshot is the evil one, full of hate and only wants things dead, and the little girl in red clothing is her younger self, not yet full of rage, and actually helps you from time to time? I thought I noticed her being pretty cool in the first game. I'm not all that much afraid of her anymore, except for when she happens to sneak up from behind you, or something.

>>26179287
What variety

>>26179325
IF I SEE THAT FUCKING GHOST ONE MORE TIME, I TELL YOU, ONE MORE FUCKING TIME...

>>26179409
"Generic" is an empty criticism.
Anyway, the plot and the atmosphere are two different things. I appreciated the plot because it had a good balance of character-driven and story-driven content.

>>26179389
This.

Confused the shit out of me the first time.

>>26179434

her helping you only happened

a) in the now non-canon expansion

and

b) when you were the point man, who is her son

this new guy has no relation to Alma as far as we know

>>26179409
Actually I was referring to your manner of typing.

>remembers me a lot of Killzone.
>But i didn't liked it tough.
>I'm confused

>>26179409
In the world of movies, sure, but there's not a single FPS out there that does what FEAR does, mixing genres and shit like this.
Long haired girls are (were) all over movies a few years back but they haven't been used a whole lot in the vidya.

why the fuck would you complain about fear being 'generic'

it's a goddamn shootan game what more do you want, minigames and 8 hour cutscenes?

>>26179157
I missed that ladder when playing the demo like 10 times just jumping straight down. Thinking I had memorized all the scares I was chillin thru the demo and for some reason I take the ladder and OH MY FUCKING GOD.

>>26179434
The protagonist sees both versions for some reason which he shouldn't, only her two sons should be able to see the little girl version. Uuh anyway they mostly use the teen / adult version in the demo for the in-your-face scares and the little girl to create atmosphere.

It's like I'm really playing Silent Hill.

What happened to Point Man now that the expansions aren't canon?

>what more do you want, minigames and 8 hour cutscenes?
and puzzles

>>26179701
2 picks up JUST before 1 ends from the perspective of a different character, so we'll probably no more on Feb. 10 when the game comes out.

>>26179456
From dream to nuked city to creepy kid school, to fucked up subway, to movie theater to the street again.

Add in a bunch of guns, granade types, slow-mo, melee, commandos, ghosts, armored cunts, fucking mecha battles and the 25 scripted events with Alma and whatnot.

That's alot of shit covered in 1/2 chapters.

Poor captain. He had a wife and a seven year old daughter too.

He will be missed.

So I'm not to sure if anyone posted this last night but I remember in a thread last night someone said if you turn around at the first jingle Alma won't be behind you anymore for the other ones and that is so not the case.

Just did another run through earlier and she was still behind me after the first jingle, and then by the health pack and finally at the steps/steam valve.

First time I did Steam Valve it had a HOLY FUCKING MOTHER OF GOD

Never finished FEAR only rented it, should I buy it since it's only $15 now?

>>26179769
Yes.

>>26179701

it's not like the expansions explained much either, and we won't know until the full game comes out

and I really hope the enemies are toned down for the demo, even the really basic replicas in FEAR 1 were tougher. After being used to fighting the nightcrawlers from perseus mandate it just seems odd seeing enemies who fall over by being breathed on. And yes I took the demo off of Easy.

>>26179508
MIGHT BE A BIT OF A SPOILER SO STOP READING MY POST HERE.


I was watching a video on gametrailers.com of some in-game footage of FEAR 2. There's this mutant-type thing that keeps killing things as you advance in the level, and basically you chase it down. Near the end of the level, it finally turns around and begins attacking you, but at that point, the little Alma in red clothing shows up and destroys it before it has a chance to kill you.

i hate how they have characters you don't really care about just get killed off.

FEAR ISN'T SCARY

FEAR HAS AWESOME AI

FEAR2 DOESN'T HAVE LEANING

FUCK

>>26179740
Obviously not going to be paced like this in the retail version. What fucking game throws all the weapons available at you the first 5 minutes? Really now.

>>26179769

it's aged really well, although I guess it's not that old

fun game overall I'm glad I went back to play it last year. The wait for the sequel has been pretty rough though.

Forced Widescreen = FUCKING RETARDED.

>>26179769
only if it's the PC version

>>26179743
I was sort of pissed I trekked all the way through just to watch his ass get ground up into hamburger.
>>26179765
That gave me the biggest fucking jolt in the game my first playthrough.

I like that puppeteer bastard they've been showing off.

Motherfucker takes the corpses you've killed and uses them like marionette dolls to come after you. Shit looks SO cash.

>>26179769
>buy
No.


>>26179801
Ah yes the abomination. Shit looks cash as hell.


I'm running out of screenshots.

the new assassins look incredibly badass

they gave them TASER HANDS because it was kinda dumb how they used to just slap you

still the coolest enemy in FEAR 1 though

ALSO

WHAT THE FUCK'S UP WITH NOT BEING ABLE TO CHANGE PERFORMANCE SETTINGS WHILE IN-GAME

I MUST HAVE SEEN THE INTRO LIKE 5 TIMES BEFORE I SET IT UP PROPERLY

AND WHERE THE FUCK IS MY WEAPON SELECT SCREEN WHEN IM USING SCROLL, I DON'T HAVE A DPAD I HAVE A SCROLL GIVE ME PC HUD

THANKS CONSOLEPALS
game's kinda cool though

Fear2 DEMO IS LIVE

I find it funny how it runs about the same as the original FEAR did on my system. Maybe my card just hates older games.

Protip: Downloading it off the site is faster then those shitty mirrors.

FEAR 2 summed up in one picture.

>AND WHERE THE FUCK IS MY WEAPON SELECT SCREEN WHEN IM USING SCROLL, I DON'T HAVE A DPAD I HAVE A SCROLL GIVE ME PC HUD

Hold the scroll button.

i love f.e.a.r its the only game that has been able to scare me. plus fear 2 looks amazing im actualy going to pick it over the sims 3 and killzone 2

Anyone have some close up pictures of nude alma?
I MEAN HER BREAST ARE COVERED
BUT HER VAGINA AIN'T
LETS SEE SOME VAGINA

I love the scare with the water puddle. I missed it my first 2 times but when I was going through the game thoroughly I was all like "damn, I'm tired of missing this scare, I can hear the music and the sound cue... Maybe it's behind m- OH MY FUCKING GOD"

>>26179874
http://www.gametrailers.com/player/37376.html

SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICK

Wtf is with not being able too bind mouse4 and 5 on my G7 mouse....fucking retarded, without mouse4 bound too melee and 5 too slow mo the standard controls feel a bit clunky,

>>26180025
It's hard to catch adult alma. I am trying.

they even removed some parts of the awesome melee. I loved that shit in mp

>>26179010
This. Fuck you monolith.
I'm preordering the game

>>26180006
OR JUST BUY A FUCKING WIDESCREEN MONITOR / TV. Jesus fucking christ, get with the times.

>>26180103

what's missing? the slide and jump kick are still there, was there something else?

>>26180130

Why the fuck should I?
My fucking 19" TFT does still a great job.

>>26180103
Slide and ninja kick is still there brah.

>>26180162
>Why the fuck should I?
>Jesus fucking christ, get with the times.

>>26179843
Well I barely meet the minimum requirements, and I'm on vista so that wont help so I was thinking about just grabbing the 360 version

>>26179912
Heh, when I got to this part, I saw Alma in there and it scared me a bit.

Later on, a friend came over, so I let him play through it on his own without saying anything. Although, when he got into this room, he was looking around in the corner to the right side in case something jumped at him, but when he turned back to the left where Alma was SUPPOSED to be, it seems the scene with her had already gone by without him knowing. I didn't say anything, though, just in case he goes through there in the retail version.

But that got me thinking. It really sucks if you go into a room looking around one way, only to miss something that might be very cool on the other side. Shouldn't the scene WAIT TO ACTIVATE until you're actually over there and looking the proper way? I just thought it was stupid that he didn't get to see Alma in there. I was waiting for his reaction.

>>26180219

you barely meet the requirements of a game from 2005?

...and you use vista? Vista RUNS?

>>26180130

>>26180013
I KNOW ABOUT THAT

BUT I STILL HAVE TO HOLD IT AND THEN CLICK ON WEAPON I WANT TO PICK

I JUST WANT TO HAVE A NICE SCROLLING WEAPON SELECT ON THE SIDE OF THE SCREEN, LIKE IN FEAR1, NOT SOMETHING THAT TAKES UP WHOLE SCREEN

NEEDS MORE MOTION BLUR

I fucking pooped masonry when I walked out of the movie theater and she grabbed me.
;_;

>>26180234
Many parts of the Demo are actually coded like that, and you will get different scares / almas depending on where you're looking.

One thing that's bullshit though is the main theatre scare, you can walk backwards up the stage but the camera will swing around and force you to watch it =(

>>26180247
ehh. If you guys think I can run it alright I'll just grab a torrent

>>26180311
I don't understand why she doesn't kill you outright like the others unless you also have some as-of-yet-unknown connection to her or the Point Man or whatever.

>>26180254
I don't see your point. They're not fucking useless.

I don't mind the black letterboxing. Artist's vision etc.

>>26180311
Hahahaha, that was so awesome.

Everything went all monochrome, or whatever it was, and then it stops. So you're all like "Wow, that was kinda cool..." But since it stopped, you don't really expect anything else to happen, but then you take like five steps ahead and BAM she grabs you. I literally jumped yelling out "FUCK." Then I started laughing. God I love this game.

Anyone else find this?

wish they had brought back the pointman from fear 1.

Instead, now, you're just some guy who happens to have the same powers due to last minutes surgery and happens to be just as trolled by Alma as the point man.

Why bother going through all of that? Just make it the point man again!

>>26180402
Yeah, there most likely is some connection, which will be played out during the game...

Why the fuck do these games insist on having the Main Character be mute? It'd work if you didnt have allies constantly chatting with him!
"Is anyone there? Hello! Anyone there?
"............"

"Oh thank god you're alive!"
"............"

FUCKING STUPID.

>>26180432

I love monolith and their random shit strewn about levels

best easter egg was the radio playing the Shogo intro in FEAR 1

>>26180419
Apparently you're blind.

I'm also hoping we get to see some Point Man in FEAR 2.

Does this new guy you play as work for FEAR?

>>26180445
Alma won't have sex with her own son.

>>26180432
Yeah, shit's pretty funny.
Brandon is a paletteswap of Andy
>>26180445
You're telling me pointman survived that hugeass explosion?

>>26180473
Ugh, if it's some twin shit I'll scream.

Haven't finished downloading the demo yet. Does it have the OMFG WTF WHY THERE ARE THINGS RIPPING ME APART OH GOD I'M FLATLINING surgery cutscene?

>>26180568
Yes, he survived
