F.E.A.R. single-player demo to be released this Friday

Yeah this somehow reminds alitte of Silent Hill :D
Cant wait, i wanna piss my pants now
 
This sucks, I have to wait till a friggin game mag puts the demo on their cd's before I can try it.
 
Know what else sucks? I can't get any further than the first time you hear the paranormal radio chatter warning thing.

Scary as hell.

its only 20 minutes long anyhow...i wouldn't fret too much
 
I just finished downloading it, My PC 1gb ram, 6800GT and Athlon 64 3500+, I maxed out every setting thinking that my PC would be a hot knife and the demo would be butter, jeez I was mistaken this game pwnd my pc, anyway volumetric fog is the trick, turn that off and the game ran just fine, then I had another problem, its mid night, as soon I got the corridor and saw that shadow passing before me I stopped the game, too scary for me, I will play tomorrow day light time... :E
 
I played like 5 minutes of it.. It was really cool. I saw the little girl running around. I am now past the first guards you see. The slowmo rocks.
 
OMFG, love the game.

1. When is the release date?
2. Which cards work best for the game? ATI or NVidia? will a $300 card do well?!?!
 
I don't know about you guys but I really enjoyed the opening sequence. Very cinematic, great camera angles and cuts. Reminded me of Metal Gear Solid's various intros. I love that in a game :D
 
Some things I've noticed:

-The barrels in the beginning leaks out oil or something when you shoot it

-You can shoot the 3 rats that run by, they explode in a red blood cloud

-Fire extinguisers explode if you shoot it, not sure if it does anything to the enemies

-The part where the shelf falls down is scripted, the enemies will always push it down

-It is possible to kill the soldiers jumping down the helicopter

-You can only find the SMG, assault rifle, pistol, nailgun, and plasma gun in the demo

-Body parts can be dismembered

-There are melee moves: round-house kick, slide, scissor kick, punches, and striking with your weapon

-The thing that appears in the dream hallway is the cloaking soldier later in-game

-The word REV6 is on the mech that jumps down at the end

They do indeed! I found out by my accidently hitting one which was almost directly behind an enemy. Sent him flying a bit forward and killed him instantly. Was a surprise to me :p
 
How do you kill those things that bust through the doors? I am talking about the part after you kill the guy on the ledge..

The heavy armor guy is a tough cookie, on medium difficulty, 2 nades and a clip of assault rifle does the trick. If you have a mine, use that, follow by a nade and shoot him in the head so that he can't aim very well. The cheapest trick is to run back and peek out from the ledge, he won't cross the bridge and his head sticks out above the pipes, just shoot his head until he dies(he makes a really loud noise when he dies).

Grenade the first right as he bursts through, then run back around the corner and peek at them and shoot then dodge, then shoot then dodge. Repeat until dead. The assault rifle works great.

On playing through the demo a few more times, i have fiddled with the settings and it works pretty smoothly now on 1024, but it should run better still upon final release. This is going to be one hell of a game. Scary, violent, beautiful, different and very exciting! October can't come too soon!

What if I don't have anymore nades? :|

Hide behind the wall, lean out and shoot his head until he drops. If all else fails, run up to him and punch the guy to death which will take a REALLY long time if he doesn't smack you around.

I stood there in slow-mo unloading clip after clip. Very little movement dodging his shots. Kept myself up to health with packs I picked up. All I had left was the pistol and I just kept shooting him, finally killed him and just kept shooting into the dust pockets I had made to kill the other minions he had. It was intense cause I couldn't see what I was shooting; I moved in and realized I was unloading clips into dead bodies. Fun stuff :D

Another time he kept ducking for some resane so I just kept shooting, dodgeing, shooting etc.

So what do we know about the girl?
Click to expand...

Nothing. I tend to believe she's a split personality of that dude whos controlling all the clones with his mind.

Then again since he's "psychic" the girl could be a personality projected at him from someone else who wants to take control?
 
Wasn't the girl the one that took control of him in the opening sequence?
 
:naughty: I fiddled wit hthe settings, the game played well when my resolution was put down to 1024 x 728, other settings to the maximum including AA and AF. I set it back to 1280 x 960... things were pretty rough again, lolzerz.

Yes, there IS gibbing!

But doesn't she almost take full control of the guy in the cell and unlock the door herself?
And then the guy goes and eating dead bodies and in the first tunnel where you see her, there is a I think a body in the cornor thats looks eaten slightly.

Hes psychic?
 
:dozey: I think she is the one doing it. Doesn't she tell him to do all that shit in the beginning?
 
The girl is Alma who has been drugged up to have telepathic powers. She might be related with the character you play as, I think you might be one of the cloned soldiers since the intro shows the cannibal guy and you hear a little girl's voice. During the briefing, they said that you have incredible reflexes.

I'm starting to wonder if the girl is actually using him as a puppet to get you to find her. Then again the cannibal guy is come psycho to begin with, he is a psychic commander able to control the clone army I think.

Edit: Also I think he has some control, the girl freed him and influenced him. At end of the demo
The scientist said that the cannibal guy must not find Alma. Maybe if those two join, they will gain godly powers. :|
 
But does having telepathic powers let you rip people limb from limb?
 
ha, I was taking a look at the trailers, and a soldier says: "I have a bad felling about this mission " Sound familliar to you guys ?
 
why is life so hard!! I downloaded fear on my labtop because i didnt want to bog down my desktop, it finishes, and i try to burn it to a cd. Doesnt work, so i reburn it to my last cd. Which says it did successfully, but when i stick it in my desktop then my desktop freezes trying to read it, in both the cd-rw drive and dvd drive. So i figure, ok, ill do it over lan then, so i grab my cat-5, they cant see each other...grab my other cat-5 and my router, cant see each other, disconnect everything check on wireless connection they see each other perfectly...so now i have to xfer fear via wireless and wait ANOTHER 25 minutes for it to finish...holy crap
 
Some nifty shots of the water room, for those who didn't get to play it or see it on the highest settings...

To be honest I dont really like games like that, your squad allways somehow die and you are the only one that survives. I prefer squad games.
