demo was great justice fun. I'm actually looking forward to this. In one of those, "if I remember I liked it and I see it at the store I'll buy it" kind of ways.

This pic is the business.
Demo has some nice visuals and physics, but I wasn't a fan of the whole bobbing movement when you ran and the goofy not scary at all fear stuff. The 3 room tiny demo size didn't do much either to showcase good level design or what not and it was really unoptimized and ran poorly.
I dunno, I was excited until I played it. :\

I too am in the camp of "thought it was cool until I played it". My biggest beef aside from unoptimized code was the unnessecary number of controls to worry about , especially having to actually use medkits. I like FPS games to be kept simple - give me bullet time and lots of weapons , try to scare me if you must but instead of throwing 10 medkits around a level and making me hit a button to use them just give me 3 times as much health and have find em and auto use health kits or at the very least make the medkits automatically use themselves whenever your health gets low.
Too much shit to worry about when all you really should even need is move, loook, shoot , use, jump and crouch.

Come on it was small part of the first level!!! They don't want to spoil the entire by including the second or third level. The demo ran great on my computer and I have a medium range pc, you should have played with settings.Bebpo said:

That's crazy! Have you even played the demo? It wowed me, especially the particle effects and all those sparks. This game looks better compared to many next gen FPSs.

I dunno, I get that kind of gameplay from other games.
If thats what I want then I play quake. However, I don't want all my fps games to be the same (where's the fun in that) I really liked what this game was doing (or trying to do at least). THe bullet time was cool in a first person view. And I liked the physics, what I saw of it at least. My only concern was that they blew their wad on the demo, and the rest of hte game will be balls mouth. Thats why I'm not insanly excited.
I dunno man, I have a pretty high-end PC and had no problems running the game on almost full settings but just wasn't impressed really with the way it played, like Pachinko said, it felt like a chore almost to play through.
There was one wow moment for me and that was the first time one of those larger enemies attacked me with the bullet-time effects, but apart from that, I didn't enjoy the experience.

The latest Condemned screens actually looked on par with F.E.A.R., at least to my eyes. Some areas of Condemned look better, actually. With the way the lighting effects are used, and such.

True. But even when it ran the way it's supposed to, it doesn't look that great.Dr.Guru of Peru said:
Did any of you others get a disjointed kind of feel between yourself and the game world? the shadows, and the way you climbed down that ladder were points in the game that really reminded me that I was playing a video game.
Dr.Guru of Peru said:
Well people were saying stuff like "If you can run Half-life 2 with everything on high smoothly (30-60fps) you'll be fine." Well I can do that with my Radeon 9800pro but F.E.A.R with everything on runs like 5fps maybe. Turning down stuff gets it to 30-60fps but then it looks like one of the ugliest FPS games I've seen. There is no mid-level balance; that's bad optimizing IMO.

FEAR actually has enemies using some semblance of AI, the gameplay isnt very similar at all.

I'm really not trying to troll here but I really don't know hardly anything about this game. What makes it so great beyond the beautiful graphics?

The bobbing around while walking was a bit weird. Also the recoil of some guns was quite strong, but I guess this adds realism.
