LOL MY PC WAS THE BEST TO RUN GAMES IN 05 now it just meets the minimum requrements, how technology advances.

lmao, good stuff, both av a bubble for making me laugh.

Charmers6006d ago

Both my PC's exceed those requirements the only problem is fear 2 will not meet MY requirements. I found the first repetitive and boring, I get the feeling the second one will be more of the same.

kittoo6006d ago

My PC exceeds those recommended ones but damn how fast tech advances. Just one one or so year ago my computer was this super awesome gaming PC and now its only a decent one!

And that's one of the main problems with PC gaming.
Devs optimize and focus on having the best performance on the newest PC components available. Which leave people with slightly older parts behind. They do not focus on producing games that are optimized for the most COMMON specs.
When devs code for consoles they know that all of the systems have the same specs, so they can push and optimize the quality in a very specific manner.

[Retrospective] For Better And For Worse: ‘F.E.A.R. 2’ Turns 10

Great franchise, needs a port to consoles.

Fist4achin2313d ago

I liked the first FEAR better. 2 was ok.

This game honestly killed all my interest in the franchise, I loved 1 and its expansions (even though they're technically non-canon now) but the sequel was such a let down.

Editorial: Will There EVER Be Another F.E.A.R.?

First-Person Shooters are a dime a dozen nowadays and it’s a struggle to really find one that stands out and separates itself from the genre. This can be a double-edged sword, as a FPS that brings something new to the table can often unintentionally have that new thing staying at the table forever. But what if that game managed to capture a concept so well that not even its successors could manage to tap into its perfect blend of creative design? Let’s say they decided to mix genres: ones that had been mixed before, but managed to do something that hadn’t been done before. Could it be possible that a studio managed to make a sort of lightning in a bottle for FPS’s, something so good that there may not be anything quite like it for over a decade after it came out? Well, that DID happen, and that game’s name was F.E.A.R. First Encounter Assault Recon.
