Ok, lets talk some more F.E.A.R (Massive thread..)

Post by **R00k** » Mon Sep 26, 2005 6:03 pm

Wow, this is the first time I've bothered to look at anything F.E.A.R. related.

I'm definitely downloading the demo tonight to check it out. Normally I don't get into tactical games like this, but the action looks fun as hell, not to mention the engine.

Thanks for the heads-up, reef. :icon14:

It's not a tactical game like in Raven shield or Swat 4.. its more pure mayhem and action..with slowmotion and spicy effects.(think The ring meets Matrix)

Let me/us know what ya thought about the sp demo!(a tip..play in teh dark with high volume..and in controll settings, lower the annoying smooth mouse)

How does the slo-mo shit work online?

Post by **SplishSplash** » Mon Sep 26, 2005 6:13 pm

played the demo at a friend's house. good graphics, but I don't see how it's different to other shooters. Yeah ok you can slow time. Big deal.

Absolutly great if ya ask me..

One guy grabs it(like quad damage) and everyone sees where he is on the map... so they try and kill him,once the carrier have disired amount of opponenets close by..he hits the slow mo and BAM everyone goes into slow mow(carrier being slightly faster) and starts spraying... only tried it in DM, but it can be played in CTF and TDM aswell.

Awsome feature...pure genious.

I wish reefsurfer was more into strategy games. He would be a real asset.

Hmmm... I don't know how the syncing actually works there. So he gets to cast slow-mo on everyone that is on his screen at the given time right? What happens if after the slow-mo is cast, I come around from a corner, and I'm not affected by it, do I see the other enemies jerk around or what?

How often do u see FPS that have martial art moves? Kicks, slides, fists?
How many FPS have horror and paranormal things going on in realistic settings(not in space or other planets).
How many FPS have this much mayhem and particles/smoke/trails/blood/gore/gibs combined with awsome graphics and effects?
How many FPS have slowmo in multiplayer?

There's a differance from a FPS game and a FPS game ya know.. just cos u see it from a first person perspective dosent mean its the same as everyone else...

Everyone gets affected by the slowmo on the server... so if ur not where the acton is..sorry

Ahhh I see. Yeah that seems like the only feasible way of doing slow-mo online. How often does the powerup come to play though? I would think it would get a bit annoying after a while, you're walking about minding your own business shooting some suckas and boom you have to go into slow-mo because some jerk spawned it from half a map away.

Yea, played it a bit..its a good game, but i like Empire earth more.
Did ya try the sp demo?

Empire Earth is a piece of shit. EE2 is probably the worst RTS ever made.

I never liked the original Empire Earth, so I never checked out the sequel.
