Picking this bad boy up tomorrow on that triple.

Also taking advantage of TRU sale with a buddy so we can blast through that coop itch i've been having.

 

[Chiggs]

4 hour campaign, huh?

That's a shame.

 

[samus4ever]

I like how ign says 7-8 hours yet ccc says 3-4. Too bad a playthrough already sides with the latter.

I don't know. I always clock in half the time IGN says it takes to complete a game. I don't trust their completion times at all anymore.

 

[AwesomeSauce]

I got to admit, IGN's video review has me pumped up for this tomorrow and i usually don't agree with IGN.

 

[LongDongJunon]

Man, I remember when folks were shitting on this game right out the gate. (From the first unveiling of the logo)

I hope the game and thus Day 1 studios sees more good reviews.

 

[Chuck]

I got to admit, IGN's video review has me pumped up for this tomorrow and i usually don't agree with IGN.

Colin, the reviewer for this game, loves the Resistance series and thinks Resistance 2 is an amazing game. He likes a lot of other shit games too.

 

[Symphonic]

Wow, glad to see it's getting decent reviews. I'm honestly surprised, but obviously a lot more eager to play.

 

[AwesomeSauce]

Looks like Gamepro gave it 4/5 stars.

Damn. You know, I usually distrust reviews and what not, but for the sake of hyping myself for this game I'm going to put full faith in all the positive reviews.

 

[Broadbandito]

definitely picking this up with the TRU deal. $25 bucks for awesome co-op/interesting 4 player mp, hell yeah Im there

 

[Rodney McKay]

Well CCC did say it's 3-4 hours AS FETTEL. I haven't been keeping up with the game, but isn't he the omnipotent ghost guy?

 

[Moofers]

I knew it would turn out good. I'm so getting this tomorrow. Can't wait to rekindle the flame between myself and Alma. We had such a hot relationship 2 years ago, I can't figure out why we stopped seeing eachother.

 

[Appollowexx]

In FEAR we trust.

 

[James Woods]

Watched a video walkthrough and thought it looked good. Haters gonna fucking hate.

 

[Dacon]

Sooooo, pretty much a mixed reaction?

I really want this game to be good even though I always hated the stupid idea of co-op with Fettel.

I loved F.E.A.R and Project Origin to a lesser extend. I was really hoping for this one to nail the same feel as the first game. I hated the loss of the lean maneuver, and the combat overall felt really clunky to me in Project Origin.

 

[Fatal Futanari]

Are the multilayer modes available offline too or just online? I know there is local coop but what about the other modes?

 

[MacBosse]

Yeah I would like to know if you can play F*cking Run splitscreen online. Does anyone know?

 

[Fatal Futanari]

According to this, it is offline only

He goes on to say "All four MP modes can be played local as single player (though Soul Survivor doesn't quite have the same feel) or split-screen with two players."

totally bought!

 

[SOLDIER]

Has anyone had issues getting a 360 gamepad to work with the PC version? For some reason I can't get mine to work, even though it says Controller Enabled under the settings.

 

[DaBuddaDa]

Seeing 8s is enough to prove to me the game is at least competent which is all I care about. I'm buying this for Fucking Run.

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

Colin, the reviewer for this game, loves the Resistance series and thinks Resistance 2 is an amazing game. He likes a lot of other shit games too.

Well now, that is some compelling evidence. FF VI is his favorite FF and he is also a big advocate for RE4 over RE5. I tend to agree with most of his opinions (including his opinion on the Resistance series).

 

[Easy_D]

Well CCC did say it's 3-4 hours AS FETTEL. I haven't been keeping up with the game, but isn't he the omnipotent ghost guy?

Well.. Fear 2 DLC Spoilers, ahoy

Spoiler

In Fear 2: Reborn he actually posesses one of the cloned troops, so he has an actual physical form now

 

[Fady K]

Did not expect these decent scores. Good news

 

[Ricker]

4 hour campaign, huh?

That's a shame.

And 69 bucks most everywhere up here in Canada...double shame.

 

[BobsRevenge]

I don't know. I always clock in half the time IGN says it takes to complete a game. I don't trust their completion times at all anymore.

Yeah, I always seem to beat games a lot faster than reviewers advertise it should take me.

 

[Kydd BlaZe]

Day 1 Studios did a fantastic job of porting F.E.A.R. to the Xbox 360, and I'm one of the rare few who actually enjoyed Fracture, so it's nice to see F.3.A.R. get a few positive reviews thus far.

I will admit though, that everything about this game rubbed me the wrong way upon its initial unvieling. Regardless, I can't wait to get my hands on it.

 

[scorpscarx]

....but does it use gamespy?

 

[Stallion Free]

....but does it use gamespy?

Steam forums aren't showing anything yet.

 

[thehillissilent]

Will be trying this on OnLive. Would have to be really good for me to blow my coupon to get it free though.

People (from OnLivefans forums) who have been playing the OnLive version have really been liking it so far. It launched on the service 12:00am this morning with absolutely no issues. The same could not have been said of DNF, although most of the issues with that game have been fixed.

 

[meddow]

does anyone know if the campaign is local co op on 360?

 

[bumpkin]

definitely picking this up with the TRU deal. $25 bucks for awesome co-op/interesting 4 player mp, hell yeah Im there

Has anyone confirmed that the deal is still a go in-store? The online promo seems to have disappeared from existence.

 

[Stallion Free]

If PC would have local co-op I would be all the fuck over this in an instant.

 

[derFeef]

If this is good I am all over it. Fear 1 was the shit, Fear 2 was enjoyable as well, but I am not sure about this one yet.

 

[Dyno]

does anyone know if the campaign is local co op on 360?

I'm pretty sure all versions have local co-op with splitscreen.

 

[Rubezh]

....but does it use gamespy?

No, it seems.

 

[Stallion Free]

I'm pretty sure all versions have local co-op with splitscreen.

Dude, don't tease about this on PC. If you have confirmation, I need to know.

 

[Kingpen]

Can anyone provide a list of guns we will be able to select in the game?
Thanks.


Also - in Fear 2, the shotgun was horrible in comparision to Fear. The slowmo combat had a much more visceral feel in Fear as well vs the sequel. Can anyone give any feedback if this combat is more like Fear 1 or Fear 2?

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

So, I think I'll pick up FEAR and FEAR 2 today. Should I pick them up for 360 or PS3? Is there a difference between the two or is it dead-even?

 

[Gvaz]

Gonna get this when it's $10 on steam.

I take paid reviewers with a grain of salt.

OnLive are doing a 30minute trial. Totally free, 2mb download for the client.

 

[Sai-kun]

well, it's not my kinda game, but Fucking Run still looks like the coolest thing ever.

 

[Gvaz]

I've used them before for RFA, I didn't like it.

I wanted an HD stream, less lag, and ability to change graphics settings.

 

[element]

3 hours 56 minutes. Its not a speed run either. Its just a really short game.

that was done as co-op playing both Point Man and Fettel stories simultaneously. If you play solo, you play as Point Man, then go back and play as Fettel, which leads to 8 hour single player campaign, or play them simultaneously via co-op for a four hour campaign.

Are the campaigns different or are you just playing the same thing with different characters?

This will be sitting on my porch when I get home. If it stinks I'll rip it apart in as many words as you're willing to read.

 

[element]

from my understanding you play the same levels again with major changes. fettel also plays totally different then point man, so while the levels might be similar, it feels like a totally different game.

Would love to see some evidence of this someday, since a lot of people sling that out so often.

 

[Emerson]

Ehhh... I dunno. Gonna have to read a lot of impressions and reviews.

Here's a classic: http://www.abload.de/img/shoeu712.jpg

Also, read (almost) any review.

 

[whatevermort]

It's exactly the same levels and story. There's no new bits, just different gameplay with Fettel (which is much faster than Point Man). It's basically like a fun variant on New Game + rather than a wholly distinct campaign.
