-GD-X★ 7,749 Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 God damn, this makes me miss the mid-2000s FPS era. Great campaigns that can only be appreciated with kb+m. I remember trying F.E.A.R. on the 360 (after beating it like 5 times on PC). It felt so sluggish, almost game-breaking. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madmaltese★ 2,586 Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 This looks cool. Playing FEAR for the first time is something I think I will always remember in gaming terms. Such a cool experience. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lynux3 2,104 Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 (edited) Looks amazing! I've been eyeing a cheap 3060 and Amazon has it on sale... might pull the trigger just for this. Wish they had a PS5 port in line, but I don't think I can wait. Edit: Loved the F.E.A.R. games. Edited June 20, 2023 by lynux3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Twinblade★ 3,928 Posted June 22, 2023 Author Share Posted June 22, 2023 This game is kind of nuts. The pacing is weird but in a fun way. The 2nd level starts off relatively calm and then by the end it turns into a crazy over the top climatic final level you’d normally see at the end of a game but im not sure how I feel about the ‘horror’ elements. Compared to FEAR that stuff has actually been kind of lame so far. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JonDnD 2,643 Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 I tried the demo. Its, FEAR alright. Gunplay is fun but not sure how long it would be fun for. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think either the AI or level design are comparable. This game puts you in more open levels and throws waves of fodder enemies at you. Its also more fast paced, you're encouraged to sprint and slide all over the place instead of being very deliberate about how you enter rooms with enemies like in FEAR. In this game you can also soak up a lot more damage in comparison with encourages that type of fast paced play style. If I were to describe it I would say its like FEAR but for the modern ADHD shooter crowd. While that sounds harsh the game is still quite fun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JonDnD 2,643 Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 I played on default difficulty and the AI didnt seem too impressive. Can easily walk up on people when your flashlight is off and you have a cloak. Hard to really judge from the demo and shit gets so fucking chaotic i was just blowing people to bits in slow mo with no real challenge. Its pretty fucking nuts. Once i killed everyone your just walking around to the next part and i did end up walking in circles quite a few times because much like FEAR everything looks the damn same. Maybe that changes up in the full game idk. The shotgun is fucking wicked tho. I tossed a grenade and blew up like 6 people , it ripped chunks off support beams and a sea of office supply confetti covered the office room. Its intense for sure. Like its amusing for sure. Sliding thru people tripping them up then blasting them in the back is enjoyable This game feels like it was made when FEAR was made, and updated with this gen low budget graphics tho. Its a very PC game. Controller support is weird and it feels old when you walk over dead enemies its kinda glitchy and they ragdoll themselves all over. Its funny but its kinda jank for a new game.

Its just unfortunate that even though FEAR was such a beloved classic 15 years ago pretty much nobody even tried to emulate that type of experience. I think Trepang2 is close enough that it deserves some praise, especially if you look at it from a 'ill take what I can get' type of perspective. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
