Fear is sweet . If you have not bought you . [doom engine] [slo mo]

Q: I think it really takes all the good things of the motor penalty during the removal of the excessive jumpiness. Gameplay add up to the par value of HL2 IMO and adds a cool mode as Max Payne. Plus you can get it for $ 30 at amazon.

Re:Awesome game. I can't wait till I get my final AGP upgrade for X-mas, my x850xt should rock so much more than my 9800pro. Maybe I can actually play at 1280×1024 like my monitor wants after this. :P

Re:I think Fear needs something like a 6800gt or above to do it justice. Sure it works with lesser video cards but I need a high resolution and smooth frames or I lose interest.

Re:..i'm using a 6600gt agp to play it, sure its without 4xaa and other goodies, but how good dp u have it now?

Re:Thanks to the stooopid computer industry, I can't just simply upgrade my video card to play Fear better than I can now. I've got a 6800nu. But I can't plop in a new vid card because my rig is two years old and I just have an AGP slot. So I would have to switch out a motherboard in order to fit a PCI-e card. My processor is fine…..3 ghz. I thought about just getting a new rig……but for what, a 3.2D processor? Anyway, like I said, it's a stooooopid PC market ATM.

Re:I just bought this game yesterday and only had time to play it for an hour or so – but from what I have played so far, I've really enjoyed. Glad i just upgraded my video card (7800gt) or I think my 9600xt would have been choking.

I did have to hit their support forums to read about the 1280×1024 lcd fix but that was easy enough. Oh, also glad I upgraded my sound card (audigy 2Zs and 5.1). Wow, it's actually been a big computer upgrading year for me.

Anyhow, to the OP – yes I agree, FEAR is sweet :)

I do have an LCD that is native in 1280×1024@60hz but I don't see how that would cause a problem since you do video settings in the config before you launch.

Any ideas?

Not sure what you've done to remedy the issue since you didnt include that in your original post -but I'll try to help ya out:

- Reinstall/Install the last drivers for your video card
- Go edit the config file (Settings.cfg) so that it matches your screen rez matches your LCDs native rez (http://www.tweakguides.com/FEAR_7.html) I suspect that this is the issue.

"ScreenWidth" "1280"
"ScreenHeight" "1024"

You're right I forgot to add in more details. I did throw my arms up in frustration and ask 'Why God, Why?' repeatedly but it didn't remedy the problem. :P Okay, in all seriousness I did uninstall the Omegas and installed the current ATI cats but that didn't fix the problem. I'll try out your fix in a little while and report back. Thanks for the response.

*update* Still a no go. I see a flash of something but then it just goes black. Same thing happened with the demo and I'm not having any luck on their *ahem* support page.


Re:guy, it's scarier in my opinion, but it breaks it up with intensely fun combat.
It just got the award for technical graphics at Gamespot, which it highly deserved.

Re:Too busy playing Civ IV.

Re:Had the same problem when I had a big codec pack installed. Uninstalled it and it worked. Coincidentally seemed to get rid of some random BSODS I had.

Re:Thanks for another thread on this

Anyways
Is it as scary as Doom 3 for the first 10 minutes cuase if it is, thten I cant go through with playing it :o

I played the demo a few times, and ummm was unimpressed. Granted the demo was short, does it not do the game justice?

I never finished the demo, but IMO the full game is better and worth getting. The Demo isn't just one level of the game, but is 5ish different parts all put together to seem like a level. When I played the full version I would think to myself, "Oh, I remember this level" expecting certain things around the corner, but once getting around the corner everything was different. :D

The AI is fantastic, though it could have been even better. Special effects are fantastic as well. Story is pretty good, but I think it could be improved. That little girl will show up unexpectedly and freak you out on numerous occassions.

Alright, I'll give it a shot. Thanks

Never finished the demo? Man, you must have a real short attention span

Re:Man that game kind of sucked. The story line sucked (what I understood of it anyways), the graphics were not all that great, it got to be the same thing after the first few levels, and there is only a vareity of like 4 different bad guys. I got to the 9th chapter and just gave up and unistalled it cause I was so bored with it'

:thumbsdown:

Re:I liked the game a lot, I was a lover of run and gun and had to turn my head around some. Once that was accomplished, the full potential of the game was there for me to enjoy. Suggestion; go for it.

Re:1st to say that he didnt like it so much!:D

Re:second that.. really liked it…

Re:I thought it was a great game.
