Jebus... thats pretty steep, i meet the RAM and GPU, but my processor is only a 2.4.... i wonder how it'll run.

JackKelly

Yikes that is high. Well, i won't be playing that anytime soon. Roll on money. I'd say you Processor will manage fine. It's more graphics and RAM i'd be worried baout. This must be the first game of a new spec requirement.

Deadwing

Thats the recommended specs, minimum specs said a 1.6 p4 and radeon 9600, but i assume it would look sh!te running on that

Scruff

will let ye know how ****e it is on a ati mobility 9700

Pretor

Cant image playing the game on low graphics, looks too sweet on high power

afaik there has only been the multiplayer betas out for fear so far and this being singleplayer should mean new demo.

just download and delete the .zip off the end (just be wary as no pars included)

Game looks amazeing and plays nicely apart from the odd loading stutter on my 2600xp 1 gig of ram 256meg 6800gt system with most things on max .

Think ill get it off play.com

TwoShedsJackson

Fun demo, some of the graphics are really nice, some other effects look pretty terrible. Also pretty damn short.

kjt

I Just played the demo.

WOW, is all I can say. The best game I think I've ever played.
Gave me shivers a few times through it. I can see myself playing that demo over and over until the game comes out. That kid is scarey.

The slow-mo looks amazing. lol and when the soldiers dnt expect you and you throw a grenade, it sounds so good when you hear them just going "Fúck" and them trying to run. Nades in slowmo, and you will see blood everywhere.

It runs quite well I think (p4, 3.6ghz 1gb ram, 128mg 9800)
UMMMMM

Cant wait for this and stalker, My two most looked forward games ever.
HL2 was one, twas a good game but nothing special

Kare Bear

I hust completed the demo.Best fps since hl2.

Wertz

That torrent is crap....can't get any sort of decent speed out of it at all, and the ftp link is swamped.
Anyone still waiting for this, it's up on fileplanet now.

satchmo

There's smaller queues on 3ddownloads.com, while the US is asleep at least. Good speed too.

Nice one but fileplanet was only 20min wait and I'm almost done now anyway...

kjt

Umm I just played it again, Damn nice game

Cosmonaut

Oh dear god. when i saw herself at the top of the ladder i sware i crapped my new tighties!

And that scene in the hallways.

Some beatiully scripted sequences i must say.
the action is fun enough, i just hope its a bit more stable (felt a bit wavy - maybe its just me) for the released version.

cant wait though, looks like a solid game.
just gotta stock up on nappies in the meantime.

Pugsley

Did anyone get a wierd jutter when they fired? not recoil or whatnot, but sort of a delay, as if you were playing on-line on a 56k with no lag prediction or something, made it quite hard to shoot at the best of times when you have to cover for lag prediction in a single player demo, heh. Regardless, not a bad demo, some well scripted scenes and the marine AI is very impressive to say the least, their use of cover pretty damn good, and they move well too. Shame its only about 5-10 mins long though, thats madly short even by demo standards.

kjt

Yea it was quite short. I just hope its not like hl2 and is going to be short itself.

Thanks for that link, only a 3 minute wait.

Loobz

600mb + for 10 mins gameplay? Is it really worth the download? Screenshots if ye can guys. Kudos.

balkieb2002

Tis actually bout 15mins

heres another linky: http://gamesdomain.yahoo.com/pc/fear/files/1121858

DonkeyStyle \o/

I've never heard of this game (yes I've been living under a rock), but I'm curious what you people are wetting yourselves over... so I'm downloading.
All the gamershell.com mirrors are packed aswell.
Anyone want to give me the gyst of what makes this game special? I still know feck all about it.

balkieb2002

Its one of the most anticapted fps this year for many reason including *ability to control time ie slow-mo mode (and very well done at that)
*developers are makers behind NOLF series
*one of the best looking games out on the pc
*mystery horror/scary storyline
*little girl in red dress

i'm sure theres more which will convince ya, mines a very quick rundown.


::check my above linky for a fast mirror with no waiting::

Mih, I'm happy enough with the 113KB/s I'm getting from gamershell... 36% done, so I'm not switching, thanks tho.

DingChavez

Anyone whos having trouble getting it should check out Gamersshell. I just finished downloading it @200kb for the whole thing.

quarryman

BAM!

Wertz

haha awesome...have this running @ 1600*1200 with all settings maxxed...cooling fans sound like they're about to lift off.
Defintely be buying this title.

quarryman

what system spec do you have? that's good performance.

Wertz

3.4 P4, 1536 RAM and 6800 vanilla 256mb

There are slight stutters at some load points but it's all pretty smooth apart from that.

Kare Bear

The controls and movement seem a little too complex like far crys.The weapons and physics are the best yet.

DingChavez

I hate the assult rifle and SMG, they look and sound crap and the recoil is weird compared to other shooters. And there's too much blood when you shoot them. I think this is the first game that will get an anti-blood mod. The shotgun and energy gun are the best!

DonkeyStyle \o/

Looks sweet... although there's no support for widescreen resolutions (booo).
I've only played the first part of it, but that bit with the spooky giggling girl was very well done... the way you only catch a dark glimpse out of the corner of your eye... or do you?! :eek:
I just hope it's not going to be another eye-candy yawn-fest like Doom3. :rolleyes:

Dont think so, they included AI with this game

Dooom

I've played both the MP betas that got released, and I always knew this game was gonna kick a large chunk of elephant-sized ass, but jesus. It's brilliant. AI, from what I've seen - played through it on all difficulties, is spot on. Pretty funny when you surprise 'em too. And as in the MP, there's very little that's more satisfying than running full pelt at someone and scissor kicking them in the face.
Damn little girl frightened the hell out of me

when I spun around to climb down that ladder

.
And if I recall correctly,

when that big rocket-firing-muthaf*cka at the end fell through the roof

, my only words were "Shìt."

Would've been nicer if the demo was a bit longer but at the same time I think it's just the right size to give everyone a taste of the majority of things without revealing too much.
Needless to say I'll be at Gamestop the day this gets released (or some shop that actually releases things on time).

The SMG is ok, don't like it a whole lot though. The Assault Rifle is nice and meaty sounding, and good for running into a room and peppering people. Recoil would be different to other shooters as this game itself is different to other shooter, and there isn't too much blood! It's perfect the way it is.

You can always turn the blood off anyway. Although why anyone would want to do that...

Same, have to say I really enjoyed the multi player one, while I cant see it having a lasting charm, as far as get up and go frag fests go, it was quite a fun game, however the multiplayer weapon balance was badly lacking in the MP demo, the nailgun thing just destroyed everything.

Dooom

They released a 2nd MP Beta with the pre-orders. When you pre-ordered a copy (in the US anyway, pretty sure no where else), you were given a bunch of keys etc. I managed to get hold of one so had a blast in that one too (still am having a blast in it!).

Anyway, in the 2nd beta they fixed a lot of issues that were in the 1st. The SMG was toned down, as was the Nailgun and the Pistols. They also fixed the things where the grenades wouldn't go through windows or sometimes doors, aswell as making everything a little bit prettier and the menu more friendly etc.

Worked quite well.

Course if you got the pre-order beta then you'd know that, I'm just assuming that you didn't.

I don't get it, what're you supposed to do in that thing? I just get to being infront of the wall that's splattered in blood, then I press the keypad and...nothing? Just static.

Whuzadeal?
