only bad thing about the demo was the stupid skeleton laying on the floor.

The railgun/cannon thing made the people skeletons..if that's what your talking about

ANYWAY!! BEST ****ING DEMO EVER! I was scared shitless when I
Started going down the ladder and the girl was there, I screamed, almost fell out of my chair. Then at the bottom, the dude was there, and I wasted a battlecannon/railgun shot on him...

Yeah, game freaked me out at the end. You guys know what I'm talking about. I mean...I couldn't stop yelling about that shit. The ceiling...the girl..all. God..I'm not sleeping tonight.
 
The particle cannon/plasma weapon is perhaps the best weapon in-game. If you crank up the settings, the weapon gives this cool purple burning effect on the target right before they become a crisp skeleton.

For another neat effect, near the end at the hall, if you shoot the water, it comes pouring down like mad.

I have replayed this demo on every difficulty and it still makes my skin crawl. I want this game now.

Yeah, I played the game FIRST on the hardest difficulty. My roomate was like "OMGWTF? are you mad?"
"Yes..I want the full extent of the game right off..so I get the best of it first."

Yeah......still gonna have nightmares about the bloody ceiling.

rofl, i did the exact same thing that you did with the same gun
 
Yeah, I was sitting playing with my mate and I was like yeah, something is well going to happen here

I was right, the chick appears at the top of the ladder

We both had a good laugh saying "yeah, that was kinda freaking even though i knew it was comming"

but then...

at the bottom of the ladder - I F***ING CRAPPED MYSELF

You guys wasted one round?!? I EMPTY LIKE TWO F***ING CLIPS!! Annoyingly, with the ace gun i just picked up :)

I LOVE THIS GAME!! :D

How did you miss her..its
right when you start to go down the ladder, you turn around, and BAM there she is...
 
Know what I think would be cool?

A Mac & Mesh special: Mesh does F.E.A.R. Single Player Demo!!!

And then obviously the whole game after it comes out....
 
I was talking to some guys on a vent server while that happened...

They'll never treat me the same way again.

"Remember the time you screamed like a-"
"Yes."

Ladders dont like me, so I just jumped down and saw that dude
 
Nabobalis said:
So what do we know about the girl?
Click to expand...

Click <this link>. It's a site u can reach when 'playing' thru the teaser site. If u scroll all the way down, you can read that the disappearance of 'an ATC employee's little girl' almost one year ago is still unsolved and that her name is Alma Barrow. That's basically all we know.

lol I didn`t realise that. then it`s ok. played at night. turned the game off one time. freaky stuff.
 
Hey guys, I want to ask. I find this game scary, but can someone tell me if i'm just worrying too much? I can't enjoy it because I think that the next room is going to terrify me. What do I do?

Just hope for the best! This game is a scary one. Just don't look behind you while playing, me and Shamrock already determined that "She" will be behind you........

You know..

that doesn't really make me feel any better knowing that I can't look behind now without thinking something terrible will happen.
 
Heh sorry ;)

All I know is I think I'm going to replay this. Granted, the first time I played it was on "EXTREME" or whatever the hardest difficulty is...
DEAR GOD those armored soldier guys took 3 greandes to the chest, and a bunch of pistol clips to the head! Those monsters suck. Lots of lives lost there, lemme tell ya

That's the whole point of a scary game; if you don't like being scared, you shouldn't really be playing it. That's where half of the enjoyment comes.
 
Is it just me or do the guns, especially the smg and assult rifle, seem a little, well... off?

Both of them are relly quiet when firing- i mean the shell casings hitting the floor are louder than the gun firing!!

They are also really inacurrate even when using the aiming/zoom mode, and they continue to fire for a good few rounds even when you take your finger off the mouse button.

They just don't feel right, a bit laggy!!

The other guns though feel pretty solid, the nail gun and plasma rifle are awesome (i love the auto focus/depth of filed effect on the plasma rifle zoom, reminds me of Oddworld stranger's binoculars!).

The melee attacks are also really cool (reminds me of another xbrick game- Chronicles of Riddick), is there anyway to holster the weapons so you can do the foot stomp move in the rest of the level and not just the spooky corridoor?

Overall an awesome demo, just hope the rest of the game keeps up the same quality and isn't too short!!

Push "H". I remember that with "Hand starts with H!" So yeah, you get punshing abilities then :p

PS Welcome to the forums!
 
yeah the guns felt weird alright, seemed laggy r sumit...the headbob also was a bit irritating, still cool how you saw your body etc, cool demo, going down the ladder with alma behind me eek...great game, wanna get god mode working so i can blow the sh*t outta the place...
 
whoops probably could have worked that out for myself!!

A couple more things about the demo- i love the fact that you can see your body, and that when you climb/slide up/down ladders your hands actually grab the ladder- its time more games started doing this, really adds to the immersion!
Graphically the game looks pretty awesome, the only thing i don't like are the fire (slightly better than hl2 2D crappo-matic fire though!), and the rubbery, bouncy water, good reflections on it though, but maybe its just cos i'm so use to the awesome water in hl2!!

oh and thanks for the welcome, been around for a while hoping for lost coast info!!

Heh ya, saw your '04 join date. Just first post. I know the feeling, I hung around here for almost a year before I first posted. I wasn't much of a forum whore till a few months ago :p

Yeah the water in the game isn't as good as HL2..but the explosions and everything are really good. I can't go into TOO Much detail, because I played it on LOW settings, but I can only imagine. The only thing I dont likea re the way things look.. looks alot like DOom3 stuff, and I didn' tlike doom3 at all. AT all :( Oh well, that's the way games are going nowadays, better get used to it. Although I prefer Source Engine. I mean, some parts in HL2 you can mistake for a real life picture! :eek:
 
yeah it does have a bit of that ultra shinyness that overly bump mapped games (far cry, halo 'nowhere near as good as the original' 2, Doom 3)have. And yeah the shadows seem very doom3, though its strange how you can't shoot how the lights it f.e.a.r, they only flicker if you shoot them!
 
The water in FEAR owns HL2's! :O

Anyone find any cheat codes besides the nonworking God code?
 
yeh... it actually has a dynamic surface by the looks of the rippling, does it wake when you walk in it?.
 
it can do all the dynamic stuff it want wants to, but to my eyes it looks like a really rubbery sheet of reflective shine!! :D
plus it isn't transparent like water should be, it looks like its coated in oil! :D
 
I love how the guys you're fighting actually count how many people you've killed: "Two men down!"
And I shot a guy's head clean off, didn't think you could do that
What a ****ing great game
 
Wow, this is really something special. The Particle Gun makes the BFG look like a super soaker.

I just cant see the big deal here. this is just another average fps, the graphics are not bad certainly not great, gameplay is like everyother game in this class. ive played all the latest fps games like hl2,doom3,riddick and bf2 etc, some of these have amazing graphics, better than fear. i cant understand why the game is jumpy and stuttering all over the place when better games dont. i have i gig of ram, x800xl card . 3.2ghz pc which runs the other games perfect. would only buy game if i knew it wa going to be sorted.

I impaled someone in the head, the head wasn't having any of it and left
 
FEAR seems pretty good. I agree with Jocky in that it doesn't look much, if any, better than Doom3/HL2/FarCry etc - but performance is worse.

Ok gameplay, nice slow motion effects 7/10 :)
 
Played through the game several times, haven't dismembered anyone at all :(
