FEAR 2 was made by Monolith and was quite lacking...

I am looking forward to this seems im the only one though. Good to be back in the shoes of pointman, and by the looks of it your brother paxton fettel backing you up?! (Even though you shot him in the face) Just want to see how the story continues after FEAR 2, which yes it wasn't amazing, and didn't push the envelope but i enjoyed it.

No monolith = no purchase...day 1 studios = absolutely no interest

FEAR 2 was made by monolith and that game was fairly average at best. I don't think it really matters who makes FEAR 3 because the game would have turned out horrible anyway. Monolith are not the same anymore

My oh my how the FEAR went from great to burying itself in mediocrity

Saying that FEAR's storytelling, horror and environment design were just terrible; thankfully its combat and the premises and development of the story was godamn awesome.

The second was an uninspiring jumble and third... hurm.

It's just this kind of a mentality again:

I hate it when people assume that a series goes downhill because it's on consoles.

SgtKevali

well its kinda true.. not the fault of the consoles but on the devs for thinking thats what console gamers want.... it was the console audience who was being the prime target for fear 2.. thats the reason it was dumbed down and ruined the series

So are you saying console owners are too stupid and need to have it dumbed down? It's the developers fault. :/

no... that its the developers fault... im sorry if it came out that way..:oops:but you have to understand.. in order for it to appeal to a large audience they have to casualize it...just look at splinter cell conviction...

The devs did do a port of FEAR on 360 and PS3, but they made Fracture, hoping for A at least.

I must be the only one who thought F.E.A.R. 2 was an extremely fun game. Yeah sure, maybe it didn't retain the wow-factor that the original packed BACK IN 2005!But damn, if honestly you thought that game was trash you have higher standards when it comes to games than I do and I have some pretty damn high standards.

i just think its sad that everyone is passing judgment on the game even if it's the first trailer...
give it time and actual GAMEPLAY vids before you actually love it or hate it...
i LOVED the trailer btw

GC4ever

I agree. I didnt love the trailer but it was okay. The game looks to be at least decent. I will give it a shot when it releases if the reviews are good.

I completely agree! I dont get the hate for fear2 i thought it was great! Was definitely no where near as bad as its being made out to be and its actually one of the better shooters i have played in the last year! Only complaint is it was ridiculously easy and maybe the guns didnt sound quite as good as the orginal but the combat definitely at least matches the first game!

I dont want to sound like a PC elitist but!! When the first FEAR came out for pc and was made for the pc from the ground up..it was amazing.. yet when it started to focus on consoles... the quality just fell off a cliff:(

You can't honestly assume that it was dumbed down when it was a pretty straightforward shooter from the get-go. The only thing that was different was no lean. But it's mainly the fact that Monolith ****ed it all up their own self.

Well, they also removed all of the melee combat moves, as far as I'm aware.

I was able to pull them off when I was playing it on the 360. They definitely kept the slide-kick at least cause I did that dozens of times.

Yeah but thats not the flying kick, which is far more important. Seriously, nothing is funnier than someone coming through a door and doing a flying kick to their face :P Well, except maybe pinning them to the wall with the Penetrator. Still though, it was fun dammit :x

Yeah guys lets judge a game on a crappy trailer that shows 5 seconds of gameplay. If I judged most games by their marketing campaigns they'd get a 1/10.

My reaction was in response to the god awful trailer. However, as bad as I thought F.E.A.R. 2 was, I am not expecting much out of the game either. What little they did show looked about on par with Blacksite: Area 51 if you ask me. Just not impressed with this series, and I am not expecting that to change.

That's why I don't get why everyone likes the first better than the second. I mean the story was told in such a mess of a way in the first one that they had to spend like half the second game retelling it in a way that was actually understandable.

The trailer was horrible, the gameplay shown in it looked pretty bad as well. Such a disappointment to see games get worse and worse with progressive sequels.

mouthforbathory

The consoles did not magically make it bad, giving it to a new developer who's doing a horrible job made it bad. :|

Monolith did the second game..............and as for console-izing it, it surely was (FEAR 2 that is). Aim down the sight, no lean............console-ified alright. Though that even may not be correct still, but it was the many console shooters that I guess "inspired" Monolith to make the changes that turned it into another average FPS (most likely Call of Duty). The first FEAR was awesome, it was built purely as a PC shooter in mind. As for the 360 version, it was as close to a perfect port as I've ever experienced. The PS3 version, ported by yours truly - Day One Studios - was an absolute mess of low framerate. Despite the framerate locked at 30 FPS on the 360, it played excellently, felt really good to aim and shoot. At the time, I did have it on PC but my laptop couldn't run it at nowhere near the equivalent to the 360 version's graphics and I beat the game on the 360. I wouldn't beat it on PC until I built my first computer a few months later. I may be a PC zealot but I have no problem admitting my fondness of the memories I have playing FEAR on the 360, though I much prefer playing FEAR now with mouse + keyboard + more than 60 fps and of course real 1080p output. None of that upscale bull**** for me ;)

There is an itch for me to play some "new" FEAR stuff and I've considered getting the new campaign DLC for FEAR 2 PC off of Steam but I don't want to be disappointed. I need to do some mod searching for the original PC FEAR and see if anything good turns up. Haven't played Extraction Point in a while too. I just can't believe Monolith decided to hand off development of the third game to Day 1, it's not a good idea. FEAR 3 needed to stay with Monolith, as I believe that the original creators should be fixing their own mess with FEAR 2 being so average, by making FEAR 3 return to the original's glorious awesomeness.

How is aiming down the sight a console-ified feature, you do realise that Call of Duty which was until 2009 exclusive to the PC hading aiming down the sights? Also the lack of lean is Monalith being lazy, the FEAR port for Xbox 360 had a lean feature, so why didn't the second game have it? *Hint it had nothing to do with the consoles. ;). Stop being ignorant, there IS NO THING AS CONSOLEIZING, just bad developers.
