FEAR2? : Best read after completion of FEAR

[^Ben]

I don't see how im ruining anything for you, you like the game, I think it wasnt all it was cracked up to be.

2 Different opinions, i'm stating mine. Your stating yours.

 

[Asuka]

Oh noes, people on the internet may not like me!

Lmfao your talking about predictable?

 

[Dumb Dude]

What kind of variation do you expect?? An office building looked like an office building, an abandoned building looked abandoned. My guess is you were expecting the game to go from one buiding, to say...the south pole. Thats the variation you speak of. Also, I don't see why they would take the time to make 1000 different outfits for every soldier, so them looking the same is not a big deal at all.

Also, since we already know where you stand with your opinion on this game, it would be nice if you can stay out of threads in which people who like the game want to have a good talk. Instead you just derailed this thread. Please, make your own thread and bitch about the game's lack of this and that.

 

[AmishSlayer]

Smigit. You're pretty much right on the money on everything you said but I think the reason we saw her older near the end is because she was 15 when she gave birth to us. She was in an induced coma for labor and whatnot but came out during it and started screaming. Shortly after the births she was put back in a coma and died like 6 days later or something. I think Alma was another of Harland's daughters. Alma obviously had rage for him and her sister (that helped with the research and whatnot) and kind of ordered Fettel to kill both.

Also. Were you the one that helped Fettel escape from prison? Remember the very opening sequence you see a figure coming towards the prison door while he's kneeling. At the end you are that figure that comes to get him..but then you blast him in the face so I'm not completely sure about that

 

[Kangy]

Wait, so in a thread about a sequel to a game, you're no longer allowed (by forum etiquette) to state an opinion on the first, with things to improve on for the second game?

Right, nice to see that everyone is tolerant!

 

[Dumb Dude]

Well given with what the first post says, this thread is speculating BASED on the ending, if there will be or will not be a sequel. Not if you would like there to be a sequel.

 

[Kangy]

Yes, as every topic ever is required to stay exactly on subject, and never deviate slightly from that. Let's face it, you all jumped on him like a pack of angry fanboys, because he wanted the sequel to improve a bit in his eyes.

It's not just because of what he's said in this thread. Run a quick search on his latest posts and you'll see in EVERY FEAR thread he has to come in and just declare how much he hated FEAR's environments, AI and pretty much everything about it. Other members and I are just getting tired of it. He's entitled to his opinion but he's being annoying and arrogant about it so it's really bugging us.

 

[Pauly]

AT the very end of the credits

Spoiler

It has a sound wav where some poeple say "Yes, the first prototype was a complete sucess" on a telephone

 

[staticprimer]

When I got to the final elevator and started to go up, I fell through the floor and kept falling then died. I thought "man that ending was pretty abrupt, they even put 'You were killed'." Then I reloaded and tried again and that time I wasn't killed by a glitch. I have to admit, I gulped when I saw the huge wave coming at me, that was very well done.

I believe it was alma. In the comic book with the directors cut you see her standing at the door and some freaky ghostly look on her face, maybe trying to imitate those spirits comming out of her.

 

[mortiz]

Yes, Alma is the one that "frees" Fettel.

Considering Fettel if your brother and Alma is your mother in the game they sure do their darndest to kill you off.

 

[Unfocused]

Alma's behind you!

 

[TwwIX]

Wtf was that creepy "Samara" chick from "The Ring" Movies doing in this game?

I couldn't care less if they made a sequel to be honest.
I wasn't impressed with this game at all.
Just your average overhyped shooter in my opinion.
Didn't really have any substance whatsoever.

The answering machines annoyed the **** out of me.

 

[JellyWorld]

Someone offered to sell me the game second hand, but brand new and unopened for $24, I'm considering it.

 

[Smigit]

actually in the game neither attack you in the physical world at any stage. They both attack you durring "dream sequences", but neither attack you in person. Alma probably couldn't as it is most likely she is not a physical form anymore, but Fettle could have killed us numerous times bigginging with the 1st level when he had us on the ground. Throughout the game he talks to us but he only attacks us in dreams.....so I duno. Its like he wanted to kill us but from another angle he didnt as he obviously could have had he wanted. He did send his clone army after us but *goes in circles and gets confused*.

*shrug*, we tried to kill them 1st so its only fair.

as I read elsewhere what a defunt family. Alma is your telepathic mum whos dad killed her after doing lab test for several years but she comes back from the dead and kills her dad. Her dads other daughter gets eaten by your psychotic brother and you kill your brother but also kill your mum in your dream.

Good god man, why are you in a spoiler thread! Get the game, you won't regret it, atleast, not at that price. Go for it I says!

My family is definitely crazier than that...pfft.

 

[Unfocused]

did anyone actually look behind "just in case"?

Well, since Fettel psychically controls the army of soldiers you're fighting throughout the game it's a good bet that he wants you dead. Also if Alma kills you in the "dream sequences" as you put it you die in the "real" world also, i.e. it's game over. Alma can affect the "real" world to some extent since throughout the game you see her handy work (the stripped skeletons covered with blood).

 

[nutcrackr]

I think that there will be a sequel, regardless of story (which leaves it open). If FEAR sells well, which I think it will there will be a sequel or expansion pack or probably both.

I sure as hell hope it sells good. All that hard work they put into this game, they deserve the money!

 

[Boogymanx]

I think that they'll make a machinima out of it that shows you what happens with the world when Alma's free. Like that thing that Fettle said.

 

[DEATH eVADER]

Nah, I think you where in the view point of Alma (But you weren't Alma so to speak). Afterall, You, Fettel and Alma being Pyschic might explain the interconnection between the three, sharing the same memories and all that.

yeah but both could have killed you easily enough at verious points. Suppose its like the james bond villian wanting to do something elaborate when they coulda killed you in an instant, you escape and then they die

I think that there will be a sequel, regardless of story (which leaves it open).

I dont think its very open at all. Remember it was a story driven horror game that tried to creep you out since you werent sure why and what was happening. Now you know all about alma and the other main characters are dead. There seems like theres no loose ends to tie up.

Only one i can think of is that war fettle mentioned, but that could have been ramblings (or just been his clone army which no longer has a function). I also think seeing alma at the end was just a shock thing, I mean she was dead before the game began, how do you kill a ghost exactly.

If they do indeed make a sequal i hope its done right and they dont just mess the story up but find some way to fit in another story as deep as this ones in there, but i think itd be hard. if they couldnt do it right I think they should just make another IP using the same mechanics and try something else.

 

[AzzMan]

What was that container that was pulled out of that huge energy thing when you first enter the vault? Was Alma contained in there?

 

[DEATH eVADER]

I have no clue, but I would guess thats where her conciousness is located. After the destruction of the generators, creatures started to warp in, which I guess were Alma's creation (mind that is)

 

[Asuka]

Yes thats where alma was locked in.

Which level/part did they show that Alma was dead? I must have missed it first time through.

 

[Smigit]

they dont show it, its mentioned. When they terminated project origin Alma was killed. They mention specifically she was put into a coma and passed away 2 days later or something. They dont say passed away but "there was no signs of life" or something of that nature. Harland says it I believe just before she kills him.

Anyway I dont believe she was alive, all signs point to her not being. I do wonder why fettle was going to the vault, but I dont think its because she was "alive" there, at least not alive in the sence she was a human of flesh and blood hanging around there somewhere.

While browsing one of the laptops the HQ says that they "pulled the plug" and Alma died soon after.


BTW, what is it that Alma is saying (I suppose it's Alma) in her whispers (for example at the beginning of the game, when there's this eye in the intro). It sounds like "nice and mirror" though I'm quite sure it doesn't make sense, so it must be something else And the whisper is looped, or at least the words, she is saying, are.

If she was dead I don't understand why Harland needed to let her out of the Vault, obviously there is some force that is trapped and going strong inside the Vault.

 

[DEATH eVADER]

Whatever it was in the vault, it was strong. once you destroyed the generators, entities started spewing out from some extra dimension at an increased rate. Those creatures stopped coming out just before that massive explosion took place, indicating that the entity housed in the vault was truly destroyed. As for Alma, she probably just went to possess one of the FEAR team, most likely you main character

 

[Z|insane]

The entities were to my understanding how Alma kills people.

 

[MuToiD_MaN]

Yes to there being a sequel because money drives such things.

 

[ríomhaire]

A sequil would be good, it was a bit short IMO. I finished it in only 2 days.

 

[ríomhaire]

Alma was some sort of phychic spirit throughout the entire game. I think that Fettel was out for revenge, both from the people who conducted Origin and he wanted something off of Alma aswell. I think that Alma wanted to obliterate Origin first be getting you to kill Fettel and then by killing you.

Maybe in a sequil you get to control soldiers?

 

[MuToiD_MaN]

I think that Alma wanted to obliterate Origin first be getting you to kill Fettel and then by killing you.

That's the most solid theory yet! Her motives are way too difficult to make sense of, but then again, that's understandable because in horror movies the scares are over once you know the who and the why of the killer/monster/ghost/demon's intentions. Am I right?

BTW, it's still a hard pill to swallow to be the son of someone who most frequently manifests herself as an 8-year-old.

There's another explanation:

Horror villains don't need explaining, as long as they're scary that's all that's required.

You're right though, as soon as some lame explanation is attached to them they lose all power.

Michael Myers, Freddie Kruger, Jason were all great villains because you didn't know why they were doing what they were doing and how they kept going and nobody really cared, just so long as they got the job done. I'm not saying Alma is in the same type of villain as those but she's in the same ball park.
