F.E.A.R. Demo Thread


Recommended Posts

Just downloaded it, and i gotta say i'm mighty impressed by this short and teasing demo.

Ran more beautifully than expected here, maxed everything out @ 1600x1200 32bit. Lagged on a couple of scenes but thats it. It made me jump and really freak on a couple occasions, such as seeing the girl run behind me, and standing infront of me when i went down the ladder, only to be greeted by another ghost-like figure who disintergrated also.

Interestingly creepy and awesome gun play, i may just buy this game :cool:

Specs are

Abit IC7

Pentium 4 2.4Ghz Northwood

4x256mb Crucial DDR-SDRam Cas 2.5

AGP Leadtek Geforce 6800GT

I'm very impressed :yes:

The girl's not so scary after the first time

At the place with the girl and the ladder instead of goin down the ladder and getting freaked, just jump off the ledge onto a light and then down onto the little path below. Then go to the ladder walk up and once you've reached the top, there's the girl. I jsut started wacking her with the back of my gun for the 5 seconds it took for her to dissappear :p

And it seems to run pretty nicely on a 6600gt. I really am glad that they disabled 1280, cause if they hadnt i would have just set it at that and then ended up getting about 10fps

Well, I got it running, after I put in another vid card, ATI Radeon 9800pro :)

I was quite impressed, it scared me sometimes, but I'm a wimp when it comes to those kind of things :laugh:

The physics were very impressive, and so was the intro... Overal, nice game, but not quite my taste :p I'll need more underwear to play this game XD

haha, that's one way to put it :laugh:

the nice thing i like about this game is that it uses 2 kinds of fear...it uses the cheesy hollywood fear, you know the kind that you get when you turn around there's a corpse hanging there screaming at you or something freaky like that....and then it also uses the kind of fear like that little girl. like, it's just a little girl so it's not all that scary, except for the fact that she keeps following you and just is generally unnerving....it's not so much frighting by surprise like the other kind of fear, it's just scary when you think about it...kind of....

...it's hard to explain...

Uploaded a short clip from the demo (Recorded with Celleron 800mhz 384SDRAM and ATI 9600XT. 1027x784 on mid details 2xAA :D ). Showing the last minutes of the demo.

If you didn't played the demo, don't watch the clip. Contains spoilers!

Recorded this clip on my old system, just to show the game runs fine on LOW (Very low!) systems. Without FRAPS recording in the background, the game run smooth as butter!

I don't understand how those with 2.8GHZ+, 1GB+ memory and 6600GT+ systems got complains on the performance.

That's so unfair! i have one of those running now, and i want to be scared right now!!

but i won't make a mess like these other chicken members are making, wimps eigh?

alright i just finished the demo and wow. i am getting this game the day it comes out. like said above i dont know why you guys with better systems are getting worse performence. i mean my system is not top but good enough to play games today.

AMD XP 3000+

2x512mb OCZ Performence

ATI 9800 pro 128mb

it runs nice and smooth on my rig at medium/high settings at 1024x768

I turned the demo on and watched the opening and all, then I got out of the car and it was all dark and such so I just turned the game off. Why can't they do it in daylight? I'm such a ######.

The controls seemed sluggish to me for some reason though.

Intel P 4 3.4

512 RAM

9800 Pro 128MB

It ran pretty well on my comp.

WTF... you were scared because the game was set at night... you say the controls were sluggish when they were standard FPS controls and there is nothing wrong with them, yet you say the game ran pretty good on your 9800 Pro... :no:

this game is goign to be a must buy for me,

is it using the Doom 3 engine, seems like it

the girl at the top of the ladder after you get the rail gun, BEAUTIFUL GUN BTW, scared teh carp out of me, and the dude at the bottom died because of it, railgun to the chest, but he prolly was suposed to desitergrate like the girl did anyway, never know

and it runs decent on my system @ 1024X768 everything at highest setting, with soft shadows turned on, trilinear filtering, FSAA off, get some small freeze every once and a while, so hopefully willb e better in final

XP 3000+ 333FSB

X800XL AGP

1GB DDR 333

No, it is not the Doom 3 engine. It's a custom engine Monolith built for the game. They dropped their oldie but goodie Lithtech engine to create this one.

Didnt they call this Lithtech 4 later?

As far as I know from interviews and things I've read it's simply called the F.E.A.R. Engine (go fig)

This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available. Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools.

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files by Usama Jawad Microsoft Purview is a pretty useful data governance, security, and management service that allows customers to gain enhanced visibility and control over their content. It's meant for commercial customers, such as organizations that are storing data at scale. As AI continues to expand and infiltrate every corner of a firm, many are a bit conscious about the technology gaining access to their confidential data. Microsoft is now making a configuration change that will allow such customers to rest easy. Right now, users within an organization have the option to apply Purview sensitivity labels (when available) to secure certain files and label them as such. For example, if you apply the "Confidential" label on an Excel file, the file will be encrypted, and a "confidential" watermark will be applied to it. So, if this file is shared with anyone, they are aware that its access is supposed to be restricted. Up until now, Microsoft was allowing some connected experiences, like its AI services, to analyze files, regardless of their sensitivity label. This is of major concern to most organizations, as a recent example highlighted how confidential emails with data loss prevention (DLP) policies like privacy labels were being uploaded to Copilot for analysis. As such, Microsoft is updating an existing Purview data label sensitivity setting that prevents "some connected experiences that analyze content", from being blocked completely from doing this. The label isn't changing, but the blocking is now being enforced across all connected services (including Copilot and other AI tools), and now extends to Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Files with the label applied already will get this enhancement automatically too once it becomes available. Microsoft has urged IT admins to inform their respective helpdesk and compliance teams, update internal documentation, and review sensitivity labels to ensure that they meet their respective compliance needs. This change is tagged as MC1297982 in the Message Center. General availability is scheduled to begin in a phased manner soon and will complete by the end of next month. That said, it is important to note that this only applies to commercial customers who have a license that allows them to use Purview.
