First off, just to set things straight, F.E.A.R. Files is a compilation package of both the first F.E.A.R. expansion Extraction Point (converted by Day 1 Studios), and the new expansion Perseus Mandate for the Xbox 360, which is being developed by Timegate Studios for both the Xbox 360 and PC. PS3 owners are out of luck, for the F.E.A.R. Files is an Xbox 360 exclusive. Both packages will be standalone and will not require the user to have any previous versions of the game.
With Perseus Mandate being the second expansion, it does not follow after Extraction Point, however Perseus Mandate sees a story that happens in the same time frame. A second team of F.E.A.R. operatives has been dispatched to the Auburn district to find out what happened to the original F.E.A.R. squad that was sent there.
The image of a pasty-skinned, greasy-haired young girl has become an iconic image in horror films like The Ring, and the original F.E.A.R. introduced a similar figure with great success. Of course, that game gave its ghostly visions a chilling context, drawing you into the unnerving story of a paranormal prodigy named Alma and the horrific suffering to which she was subjected. F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin returns to this fertile universe, but rather than scrutinize even darker reaches of the soul, it merely skims the surface, offering up a series of eerie visions without delivering a good mystery to bind them together.
Wow where is the gamespot KZ2 review. They sure as hell didn't waist time with this one. Something tells me they are waiting for the day the game comes out then they'll release it in order to change peoples minds about buying the game. I really wouldn't be surprised.
Either that or i have a pretty wild imagination.
Hmm you really don't look stupid now huh EDGE?
Fear2 8
Killzone2 7 lol
You stick out like a extra prick at a gang bang (quote from killzone2 script).
I feel sorry for you 360 extremists. Not a single AAA exclusive worth buying for almost half this year and probably the rest of it lol. Sux to be a F@CKING BOT LMAO.
I'll check it out but I didn't really think it was going to be anything more than just an OK game.
whaaaaat?
damn thats 2 low
i have finished the game 2 times already and i think that score is 2 low
Ve3tro: "In a recent interview with the developers behind the upcoming sequel F.E.A.R.2. The team said the Playstation 3 has certain challenges that are unique, but so does the Xbox 360 and the PC."
Head over for the full interview.
After seeing games such as Killzone 2, Uncharted, Resistance 2, MGS4, and so forth, the only "challenge" I see is picking between a primo AAA first-party title on the PS3 or a half-a$$ed 3rd-party title that probably won't even get DLC support, and that's not much of a challenging choice for me...
It seems not all is tranquil in the F.E.A.R. universe, as Dave Matthews, primary art lead for F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin, offered some harsh words on the expansion packs that followed the first game.
Well this is expected, FEAR 2 takes command of a different "Pointman", so I can imagine it's easy to discredit the expansions. That sucks, I actually thought Extraction Point was well done, but Perseus Mandate was a PoS.
I remember similar sentiments from a walt disney executive about direct to vhs/dvd movies...
But they make money so they will happen. No matter how bad they are...
Eh, I never got to them anyway. They're still sitting in my backlog so I can't really comment on how crappy or not crappy they are.
Sweeeet.
Well the SP portion of it anyway, I prefer 16 to 24 player modern/future Military shooters or arena shooters online. FEARs MP is a little weak, it offers nothing new it just gives you what you allready played. Now FEAR's SP game is one of the best I played since Half-Life and these two expansion packs hit the f**king spot.
I do have a couple of questions. What do you guys think, is this game/s worth $60 and should they be sold sepratly over the marketplace as DLC?
