"The game is as linear as they come (or at least the game play shown in the demo is). It worked for the original game and there should not be any major reason as to why it will not work again. It is a narrative-based FPS so enclosed environments allow for a tighter control on the plot development. The demo was paced well with the breaks in combat filled by spectral flashes, peculiar going-ons and jumpy frights. Veterans of the series will be accustomed to Project Origin's ways. It does not feel that fresh this time around, although we will wait and see if there are any heart-attack inducing moments in the finished code."
Inspired by the J-Horror craze going on at the time, Monolith’s F.E.A.R. was a solid action fest of a shooter that entertained as much as it terrified. Bloody Disgusting goes back to see Alma ten years on from the launch of the sequel.
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.
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.
its been almost exactly 4 years since F.3.A.R. its a great series that needs a comeback.
The first one still holds up well to this day. Hope to see another one on current gen ;)
Hardcore Gamer: GOG has made its name as the place to go for DRM-free gaming. Now, the company has added a number of games from the Warner Bros. Interactive library to its lineup of available games.
One of the most linear games (Demo) I have played in a while.
I'm sick of PC gamers (Like on GT) blaming consoles for FEAR 2 not being as good as one. They ought to be blaming the lazy developers for not beefing up the PC version. Not blaming inanimate objects.
I played the demo on PC and I thought it was fun... You people just complain to much IMO
