What happened to F.e.a.r ? Oo

New gameplay stuff http://www.gametrailers.com/video/behind-the-f-e-a-r-3/709332

The Fear series has declined unrecoverable in quality. It really doesn't look like the original anymore.

[spoiler] Consolized? [/spoiler]

Day 1 Studios happened.

It didn't look like Fear anymore since it was first revealed. I remember watching E3 footage of Fear 3 and thinking 'wow, they turned it into CoD with a horror gimmick'. It should be noted it isn't being developed by Monolith anymore, though. Too bad.

After the first one (wich was an excellent excellent game) everything went downhill fast

:cry:

I miss the old FEAR...

:cry:

FEAR was never a good game. I found Original FEAR incredibly overrated. FEAR 2 is even worse than First. not interested in FEAR 3.SNIPER4321

The original FEAR has some of the best(if not the best) gunplay out there.

I think they just ran out of ideas with the story...

The first F.E.A.R has the best firefights ever by miles imo. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZxeq-9SmKw

Yeah, Consoles kinda did gimp fear 2

[QUOTE="GeneralShowzer"]Consoles happened.Luxen90

Pay attention to what i am pointing out. Red ghost, why red? or why make the villian of the first game a coop buddy in the first place? Or another thing, big bulky monsters? WHY??? In what way? Whay for? From where the hell they came from?

Another thing is the slo mo, how it will work only on you and not the other player? How will you die as Fettel?

Or the mechs, whats the deal with the mechs? That aint fear.

Weird stuff that make no sense, only explanation is that the new studiod wanted to make something else and got stuck with the fear license so they took wayyyy too many liberties.

Although i got to admit that the level design looks vastly superior than the previous games.

I haven't played the other Fear games (going to start playing the first one soon) but Fear 3 does look kinda crappy.

Fear on 360 seem to be great so I kinda doubt that.

[QUOTE="GeneralShowzer"] They aimed at the console audience. FEAR was a late port of a PC game, it really did well? Luxen90

Yeah, I don't get why PC gamers blame consoles... that's a human decision, so devs (and/or publishers in some cases)are to blame. They just want a bigger slice of the cake.

The first Fear still rocks my boat.

The 2nd one is a horrible piece of ****.

And now this crap...I'm through with fear.

What made FEAR amazing:

- unrelenting atmosphere

- feeling of being alone because of all the quiet and creepily empty buildings

- Guns that "felt" powerful without feeling overpowered

- great original sound effects (soldiers screaming)

- an artstyle that was dark, but not too bland

- enemies that seemed agile and like they were really trying to come and kill you

What FEAR 2 did:

- take all those things away :cry:

Fear's artstyle was incredibly bland. Nothing but office buildings and the same enemy types over and over.

Personally I liked the second one more.

it was bland, but that made the particle effects stand out more to me. I do love FEAR 2's graphics, but I think they are to colorful and plastic-like for the FEAR series :?

The original FEAR has some of the best(if not the best) gunplay out there.

Fear 3 is a "Mech warrior wannabe", can be fun tho :P

I'm not much for co-op in general, so that being the big focus does not make it more compelling to me. And I don't know how that's supposed to work from the horror angle.

As a singleplayer experience I reckon there's little chance this will be better than Fear 2, which I wasn't all that fond of either. Fear was great, and then it wasn't. It just seems done.

And the plot of Fear 3 is just...what the f***? I guess Fear 2 is partially to blame for that.

[QUOTE="Luxen90"][QUOTE="GeneralShowzer"]Consoles happened.GeneralShowzer

PC pirates drove the games profit margin into the negative, so the publisher was forced to lower development costs to keep the game profitable.

I remember how good the graphics were in the game and the A.I for the enemy was very smart. I liked the gameplay too for the fast pace action with things being destroyed and having smoke and particles appearing after finishing a gun fight with the enemies. But man is the game outdated though. I just played it recently and was shocked of how outdated the graphics aretoday but at least I will have good memories though and it's still fun. Sadly I can't say the same for F.E.A.R.2, the graphics and a.i already feels outdated and that was when the game had first came out and the gameplay was not that fun at all. So far F.E.A.R. 3 doesn't look good ether
