[QUOTE="EndersAres"]7. Hopefully this time it won't get a free ride because of the gunplay.prlyknitswtr
BINGO! FEAR was good as far as graphics, AI, and gun play go. But the story was weak and NOT being able to aim down the sights was kind of a let down. I dont think its fair to be judging FEAR 2 based on the demo since there is a lot we dont know about the game. It could have a solid story this time around and HOPEFULLY more interaction with other characters and maybe a little back story on the protagonist. I think the gun play is better in FEAR 2 compared to the original, and the film grain adds a nice effect to the overall graphics. There are a couple things i dont like about the demo, one being that you cannot map button 4 or 5 on a gaming mouse. im pretty sure thats just the demo but lets hope so. and i wasnt able to use health packs, dunno if that happened to anyone else but the default "z" wasnt working for some reason. Then there is the HUD, which everyone seems to be complaining about, i liked it, but did anyone notice that it looks like fisheye lense? Like if you move the mouse left or right, the image stretches in the direction you're rotating. I noticed it anyway but i have a 4:3 monitor so maybe thats why.

I thought I had an issue with the healthpacks at first as well, but realized that the bar which I originally thought was my health is actually the armor. It's a bit misleading, but the healthpacks should work fine. I also feel ya on the mouse button 4 and 5.

I think it will get a 8.5 on GS, I am hovering around 7.5 - 8. The game felt more simplified then the original. Also, it seemed kinda flashy how the armor glowed on the enemies (GoW 2 anyone?). I also didn't like the mech action, I love mechs, but they shouldn't have too much of a place in a FEAR game imo. Fighting AGAINST one was kinda cool, but only since it was rare. FEAR to me was more about the creepy running by yourself and open to attacks from any side in a way dark corridor. Not being in a 3 ton heavily armored machine....

Either way, I will probably be picking up the game, it seems to be pretty entertaining. Maybe when it goes down in price a bit for the PC.

The school area was pretty scary like the original FEAR. But the bottom line is WE HAVE NOT SEEN THE ENTIRE GAME. We have no idea how long the game is or what type or areas the game will travel to. Judging from the very beginning of the demo, the designers were all over the place with the scenery.

It's made of parts from multiple levels, like the first game's demo.

You still get a sense of what you are going to be in for in terms of AI and the feel of the weaponry. A lot of that stuff isn't going to change. I just hope they take more chances beyond "push this button to open door" - like those "puzzles" in FEAR were almost insulting. Hello? We've moved on from Quake a long time ago.

I predict that Gamespot will give the 360 version an 8.8, but give the PC version an 8.0 because "it won't run well on every PC." :roll:

Evening gents, I hope you're all bright eyed busy tailed after Australia Day yesterday.

Now, ahem, I would like people to guess what score FEAR 2 will get on Gamespot and what you think it deserves.

I think the game will get 8.5+ on Gamespot given the first game got 9.1 (I can't believe its a point under HL2 but that just my 2 cents).

EDIT: The person who gets the correct score will be showered in glory. And you will also be treated to my very own brand of frosty chocolate ice-cream.

8.5, I think Half life 2 got the score it deserve, its a tad overated in my books.

Tried the fear 2 demo on the 360 yesterday. I loved Fear 1, great game, but fear 2 made me wanna play fear 1 again instead of playing the full version of fear 2!

Felt like fear light :)

And yeah, nice one with the nolf comment ;)

I really hope fear 2 bombs and maybe there is a chance that monolith will make nolf 3. Those games were some of the best fps games ive ever played.

Well if it bombs you may never get another game from Monolith again. You have a bad game in a bad economy and it bombs, well could get cut out by WBI. Seriously though, is there so little faith in one of the best FPS developers around?

I really dont think monolith will go out of business if Fear 2 bombs.

And yeah, monolith is one of the best fps developers. I just liked AvP 2, Nolf 1 and 2 and Tron 2.0 way more then I ever liked Fear 1.

Not many people thought Free Radical would fold after that Haze debacle especially with a huge money maker like Battlefront 3 in the works, same can be said for Ensemble. You spend millions and millions of dollars producing a AAA title and you don't get results. Doesn't take much to ruin a game company these days, even high profile ones like Monolith.

Previous monolith games was sadly not games that made monolith super rich! :) But those prior games put together would have made a revenue enough for monolith to have a stable future as a game developer. Id and valve are companies that also woundt go down if they made a game that didnt sell well now.

Maybe, honestly I don't have a solid figure for the cost of FEAR 2 and really that's what it would come down to. I don't know, just don't like seeing games fail from good companies, especially one whose made so many of my favorite games. Agree with that last part though, Blizzard, Valve, Relic, Infinity Ward are all swimming in pools filled with $100 bills, they are pretty much untouchable even with a disaster of a game.

Do it, and I advise anyone who hasn't yet tried the FEAR2 demo to do so ASAP.

Yes a late review. And most likely they will take the Xbox360 review and just add a few lines about the improvement of the PC's visuals.

Ah well, at least I was near the IGN score(mine-8.2, IGN-8.3). In Gamespot's case i said it will be a 8.0, turned out to be 7.0. What a failure, I bet they didn't even bother with the PC version and just copypasted the X360 review.
