Has anyone played it? I downloaded it and played it last night, and wow from looking at the demo there is a great storyline, and some great gameplay after the first level(which is what the demo give you.) If you haven't tryed it here. They say the f-word twice in begining movies so watch out for that if you don't want anybody around you hearing it.

Played it a while ago and I really enjoyed it. People commented on the guns looking too much the same, the level design being bland, and the shadows being too sharp, but I think all were rather harsh comments. All in all it got my thumbs up. Dunno if its on my shopping list (too many other things I'd like just now) but maybe if I see it going in a good deal.

It looked nice and everything, but it was still a warehouse/powerplant complex. But I guess the rather mundane setting complements the psychological horror theme well.

Oh, and about the demo - was there some special way to kill those super-armored guys? I just went into bullet-time and pumped them full of bullets, hid, and repeated.

I hit him with a grenade, then hid around the corner and waited for the normal guys to come to me. Once they were dead, i put bullet time and went in with a shotgun and gave him a bunch of up close blasts with that.

I didn't particularly like the demo. It just seemed to be a mish mash of diff. games/themes. Max Payne bullet time, Doom3 looking shadows and bumpmapping, Ring type horror...

Hmm. i dont like that link. When i pressed the download link i suddenly got a warning from my antivir that a some weirdo exe file was containing the virus Heuristic or something.

I couldn't get the game to play decently on my comp.....was either getting 4 fps or had it on 640x480 and completely pixelated to the point that the quality was that of the original doom. I gave up after chaging settings and exiting out of the game like 5 times trying to tweak it.

I really enjoyed the game. Just got my new computer when the DEMO came out and it was really nice to play ut with full detail.

About killing that armored guy, i just went bezerk quake III style and ran around jumping like mad while shooting like mad =).

Yeah, isn't this getting to be a problem with new PC first-person-shooter games? That when the renderer is scaled back on lower spec PCs (which are still above the min spec recommended), the visual quality is actually something that wouldn't look out of place several years ago?

I haven't played it, but I don't think I'll like it. Horror films really get to me, and I don't enjoy being scared (in a supernatural kinda way).

Really liked it for the fear element, reminds me of System Shock 2. Level design was poor though, relied heavily on bumpmapped textures it seems which made it look very plasticy. I doubt it has much replayability though, once you know where the girl is gonna appear its not the same. Id consider getting it, more because its not some straight up FPS game (most of which just dont grab me anymore, HL2 included <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/sad.gif"> )

I didn't think I would liek it either. I'm really not a fan of horror movies/games, but I tryed it out and thought it was quite good.



My favorite thing was how chunks blew out of teh wall when you shot them.

I didnt like the universe that F.E.A.R. seemed to be grounded in... it was like corporate america / max payne warehouse hell... mixed with The Ring. The Doom series still scares me more than the demo did. I'm even talking about Doom 1 and 2 here. You remember that dark maze area in the first level of Doom 1? The one where you can get the chainsaw if you shoot the wall? Man that creeped me out when I was younger. F.E.A.R. never came close.

Doom 1 scared the s**t out of me. I literally had to turn the game off at one point because I couldn't take it.....all the background monster breathing sounds.......man, how old was I......

However....Doom 3 scared the s**t out of me too......how old am I? .......

You guys are pussies. You'll never last in the game I'm developing.


Blame it on Microsoft, God does.
