Perseus Mandate was kinda disappointing for me. The visual design was more boring and the new guns were not interesting. The few horror scenes and the elite mercenaries encounters were better though but that's about it. Extraction Point was far better. Project Origin made both expansion pack's story redundant.
If you guys want a new modern FEAR but don't like the style of FEAR 2 or F3AR. Then check out Trepang2 on Steam. Its an homage and a spiritual successor to the FEAR1. https://youtu.be/y4-XxcQeb1...
You know, it still looks great today. It was state of the art when it released, and still holds up. I just recently finished it for the first time (my backlog is extensive haha). Performance is kinda eh on modern machines. Horror has been done better since then. But still very cool for it's time.
What are the odds. I'm actually replaying this now. This could be nice because the game looks way WAY simpler then my nostalgic brain remembered it being.
On Pc: " Modder ‘Rivarez’ has announced that a new AI-enhanced HD Texture Pack will soon come out for the first F.E.A.R. game. Rivarez has used Topaz A.I. Gigapixel neural network in order to upscale and enhance the original textures." So you'll get this one for free.
On console: " We have a complete dedicated team working on this incredible job to increase texture quality so expect a 50$ remaster version"
I loved how in the F.E.A.R. combat multiplayer Alma would sometimes, seldom, but sometimes kill the player! It only happened every 30 matches or so for me and I had to be far away from all other players... alone. I'd hear her stupid laugh and I knew I was a dead man haha! I'm pretty sure there were even shadow demons in multilayer mode too. Such good times I swear.
No way! I was thinking about playing the first F.E.A.R. again like 30 minutes ago. I'll wait for this!
Definitely gonna revisit this one!
Very cool! Hopefully he does Perseus Mandate and Extraction Point add-ons also.
Damn I was thinking remaster! Fear is in my top 5 favorite horror games.
F.E.A.R would be a great contender for a ground up remake for next gen. I'd be happy with a FEAR Trilogy remaster collection too.
