FEAR 360 or pc

I have one nice PC which im not worried about it lagging (quad processor nice vid card)

but yeah would anyone reccomend it for one rather than the other, i have a lack of 360 games so im more leaning towards that

why not get the ps3 version?..i heard it plays better then both the 360 and the PC :wink:

PC... this needed to even be asked?

raiden509

that is so fake. i played fear on my ps3 with 4-D graphics and it ran at 120 FPS.:P

alright but why is it so much better on PC, the graphics are about the same and there's more material on the 360 so why exactly get it for PC so much more than 360?drumbreak1

trust me..whatever the 360 version has the PC versions and that and more.

Thanks, but why particulary do you say PC no questions asked even though im asking loldrumbreak1

F.E.A.R is a bit of a resource hog on PC's however if your running a quad core and a shiney new graphics card its not going to give you problems, My PC Struggles running FEAR so i bought the 360 version and completed it on the 360 as it looked much better for me.

The PC Version is superior if you have the hardware to run it, not to mention you have mod support, free downloads ect.

Its a no brainer dude.

Geforce 7 dude, most cards older than that struggle with FEAR in my experience.

Maybe im just weird, i dont like to play PC games unless i can max out the graphics and play them at atleast 1280x720p 60fps.

Fear didnt run well for me on a 2.8ghz P4, with 1024mb ram and a 128mb Graphics Card, im talking couldnt even run maxed graphics at 800x600 smooth.

800x600 on a 24 inch 1920x1200 res monitor is just horrific, its why im waiting for high end PCS that can totally max Crysis before i upgrade, im not playing some games medium settings, whats the point when i can get them for 360/PS3 and run them almost as well.

Its High or nothing for me personally.

It's actually not that hardware intensive, at least by today's standards. It's a rather outdated game now, actually, seeing as how it was released in 2005. An NVIDIA GeForce 7950GT, which can be found on eBay for around $60, can run the game perfectly.

Actually you're wrong, the PC version has a bit higher quality textures at max specs, not to mention the soft-shadowing option which is cool (but an intense system feature). The 360 port though I must say was very good, and I beat FEAR on 360 before I ever got it on my PC (I only had a laptop at the time), however the PC version is the superior one if you have a decent system especially as the framerate isn't locked. Chances are most people got a well to do enough processor for the game, it's more an issue of having a good graphics card. I'd recommend having something like a GeForce 7600 which is pretty cheap. An 8500 with graphics tweaks runs FEAR pretty well too with almost all the nice graphic intact. An 8600 will max it out easily.

"The 360 version features some enhanced lighting over the PC version, but for the most part, the visuals are equivalent to the PC version running on a high-end system."

I heard the exact opposite from many reviews.

I would take the PC version as a no brainer. Then the 360. But the reviews I read about the ps3 version were not kind.

Why is it even worth suggesting the console version?

PC version by a freaking kilometer.

Yea. And they are wrong. I have both. PC version definitely looks better but the 360 version has added hdr lighting which doesnt matter since the textures are muddy as hell

Gamespot is wrong and you are right. You want me to believe this crap? I played both versions too.

Look he's telling the truth. I've played both almost all the way through and the PC version wins this one. 360 hooked up via 42" Pioneer plasma doesn't look as sharp or detailed as quad core/ 8800gtx/ 24" widescreen monitor. Not to mention, the PC version I thought was having framrate problems when I first played it.. until I gave the 360 version a spin and then it came to a crawl. At least that's how it felt coming from my rig. That's proof enough for me. Oh.. and my rig is capable of maxxing Crysis at 1440x900 using win xp.

Yes you're right. Smaller screen+Higher resolution will always look sharper than Bigger screen+lower resolution.

360 has a built in autoaim hack, kinda takes the fun out of games. Plus with pc you actually get to play in high res, not some upscaled fuzzy crap.

Mouse and keyboard are always better for fps.

Why is it even worth suggesting the console version?

PC version by a freaking kilometer.

skrat_01

this is so true. I really don't understand how people can tell anyone otherwise,

I hardly think looking at gamespots console reviewers an honest opinion. Most of us have played them both and trusting gamespots inexperienced nintendo reviewers no justification for honesty. Oblivion..lol. UT3?? Both superior on the PC. Albeit toned down affairs. And as for city builders gamespot haven't got a clue what that means...

My opinion is the PC version is considerable better. It just plays so much more fluid obviously due to the M&K and not being locked in a fishbowl vision. I also think the PC version looks better and it feels like a pc game. When you play it on the 360 it just feels boring. I am not sure how to put my finger on it.

Condemned uses a very slow paced game. Very much suited for the controller. If this was a question about condemned i would of gone with the 360. I also think vegas does the same thing.

Anyway back to condemned 2..........

Gamespot statement that FEAR looks the same on the 360 is just a lie. I have both versions and it's not even close.

The 360 has hdr but has also inferior textures, is less smooth, and don't have the precision of the keyboard and mouse. Go for the pc version it's not even close.
