F.E.A.R. Demo Thread

[Joshua-San]

Heh, I really like the demo. I can run it with almost everything on high (no AA), though not @ 60FPS.

I like the effects, wonderful.

[sanctified Veteran]

Finally tried the demo and its awesome, totally. Too bad that its so slouggish on my system... and my system its not, by any means, medium end.

Radeon 9800 pro

2GB pc3200

p4 HT 3.2 Ghz

And I ran it at 640x480 and still it was sluggish.

[sanctified Veteran]

BTW. I loved the intro. Reminds me of metal gear solid. Hope this game its as cinematic and hopefully as plot driven.

I just finished playing the demo. Man I'm impressed. It's like a Doom 3 meets Max Payne meets Chronicles of Riddick, taking the good aspects of all of them. I didn't find it too scary, but it was creepy at several parts.

Performance-wise.. I played at the settings it recommended for me, and it ran pretty well. I actually got better frames than I did in Doom3 (mid settings, 800x600). I might try it on 1024x768 again to see how well it performs.

The AI was decent, saw a bug or two (like hiding for cover and aiming at the wall :rolleyes:), but it was pretty neat overall.

Looks like this game is getting on my must get list. :yes:

I love this demo, it is very good looking, I cannot wait for the final game to be released. When is that date by the way? I ran the demo smoothly at 1024x768. I have a Pentium 4 3.2Ghz, 6600GT and a Gig of ram.

Is anyone finding this game scary? Most parts which were meant to be spooky I didn't really find particularly scary - like the time when you are in the room and see the blood footprints on the floor, perhaps because Ive seen similar things happen in other games.

One part I did get the chills over was at a part when I went to climb down a ladder and as soon as the camera faced in the direction of the ladder, I saw a sillouette of that small girl walking towards me.

Maybe not scary per se but indeed creepy.

Er , why is it asking me to install Dirext X 9.0C April edition when I already have it , it won't let me install the game cause I keep telling it not to install that.

586335122[/snapback]

I find that annoying too, same thing with Battlefield 2 installer, right at the end of the installation it asks if you want to install DX 9.0c and if you say no it uninstalls the game :(

[fnglazz]

Yeah, creepy is a better word :)

Yeah I have a similar system anything more than 640x480 ran slow.

[Neo003]

Sorry I forgot to mention I have AMD 3000+ (2.2 Ghz) and 1280 MB Ram with X850 XT PE 256MB.

[ObiWanToby]

I find when that little girl pops up, it was creepy boarderline scary.

[titaniumdesigns]

Just finished playing the game for the 3rd time over, game is amazing. The effects are very cool. Running it on my 6800 standard runs great no lag, and I did find the girl scary in some parts.

Very cool game, can't wait for it to come out. MUST BUY!

[TogaForComfort]

I'm impressed as hell. Let the game choose the settings for me then turned up all the physics effects, ran quite well on my P4 2.8 Nvidia 6600GT 1Gb PC 2700 ram at 1024x768.

This is a creepy game, the girl appearing as you climb down the ladder actually made me jump. I hope the rest of the game will be this good :yes:

[Ayepecks]

Creepy's a good definition, yeah.

And the creepiest part, I thought, was when the guy appeared then disappeared (after the little girl on the ladder). And when the monster blew up the door or something.

Ending = best demo ending ever. Just wish I could've played it :p

I think the 6600GT and above must be the sweet spot, cause people with the 9800s seem to have troubles. With my 6600GT no troubles at all. Wonder what a 9800XT would perform.

[Brodel]

Just played it for a bit, it is ok but I wont be buying it. Too dark and the running motion got really annoying, it isnt a bad game, but HL2 still holds the top spot for me from what I've seen so far.

[Dashel]

I like the premise but it has several problems that I hope get cleaned up by release. Love the bullet-time, overall atmosphere and presentation. However it seems to run like a dog at times, yet isn't better looking than Doom 3 or HL2 which yeild superior framerates comparitively. My biggest issue is that I just don't like the feel of the engine itself I think. Even after dropping to 800x6 and verifying my fr movement is sluggish and mouse controls just feel off. For a close combat game that touts frantic firefights it just doesn't feel right. Plus, mandatory burst modes on some of the weapons drives me nuts. Can you toggle firing mode? Didn't see any keymap for it.

As a Sierra game I'm quite surprised they didn't use the Source engine which I think would have provided superior results. That is one thing I have to hand to Valve, they kept the feel of the original and thats as good as it gets IMO.

I love this game, the demo owns.

[Paul]

This demo I awesome. I await this game egarly!

[Liandros]

alright i finally got the demo and from the short time that i played it, i already want it. the game seems to run fine on medium/high settings on my AMD XP 3000+, 1gb ram, and a 9800 pro. i dont know what settings all of you guys with 9800 pros are running at but mine runs it fine.

MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum (nForce 3), AMD Athlon 64 3200+ "Venice" (S939), GeIL 1 GB (2x 512 MB) PC3200 (Dual Channel) and my 9800 Pro is a Sapphire Atlantis (128 MB).

[Liandros]

are you getting any lag?

i didnt get to play much but from what i can tell i dont get any lag right now.

i have that exact same card and it has serviced me well for a year or two.

[sin-ergy]

Runs like crap, but a very cool game. Too bad the demo is so short :(

[Zepolcire]

:angry: WTF? This game is constantly causing my Virtual Memory to run low. Really screwing up the experience. Here are my specs:

Intel 875PBZ w/ 3ghz CPU

1Gb Corsair TwinX 3200LLPT

Ati X800XT 256DDR AIW

I checked my page file settings, and it is set to 512mb on my secondary drive.

Other than that, I am not sure I like the gun sounds so much. I have a pretty decent stereo setup, and the guns dont have that much bass. At first I thought I had lowered it, but it was maxed out. When I used the slow motion, my room basically shook while I was entering and exiting that mode.
