F.E.A.R. Demo Thread

best bet; complain to the manufacturers that their hardware isn't fast enough - if they ask which product you have be sure to quickly reply " but it was suposed to run games, i hate you"

It's a great demo but:

+ way too short

+ you're pc needs to be a rolls before you can play it... gotta love the office pc... :whistle:

[Kane]

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:

[Iamit2900]

I have been looking forward to this game for a while. Little Scary Death Girls and the suchlike looked interesting in the trailers. Hmm, Silent Hill anyone?

[Blackima]

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

[Pajter]

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

[Fedorpheux]

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...

[Smit]

THe game seems to run fine and look good @ 1024 with medium details.

AMD64 3000+ @ 2.2Ghz

512MB RAM

RAEDON 9800 128Mb Non Pro

Why do so many people have problems with ATI cards? My one is kinda crap and it runs fine.

[PukiMan]

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!

http://rapidshare.de/files/3747539/F.E.A.R..wmv.html

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?

[Liandros]

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

[yankee lion]

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:

[Liandros]

i did notice that when i fired any gun, there was a second delay before it actually fired. dont know if this is mouse problem or not cause the keyboard did not have any delay. i got used to it quickly though.

[TheTerminator]

Ran great on my system below at 1024x768 with pretty much medium-max gfx. Wasnt at 60 fps or anything but I could definitly play through the game like that.

[Hell-In-A-Handbasket]

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

[LOC Veteran]

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.

[Hell-In-A-Handbasket]

then grats on their engine, it looks nice.

[Wakeman214]

Just got done playing the demo, I don't have sound on my new comp yet, but besides that, I loved it, plays really well on my specs, I'm gonna look for it at my local Gamestop!

[Tronix]

[Wannes]

I need a better computer at home, any one care to sponsor? :p

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