I should play the first one lol

It's a bit dated now, but I still think it's great (on the PC, at least). If you play it on the 360 or PS3 you'll probably hate the graphics.

@ Intelman: Same, but it's supposed to be coming out soon. Rumor is January 15, but Monolith said sometime around the middle of January for sure.

Looks like I will be able to own this but sadly I've got a confession. I wussed out and only played maybe 40% through the original F.E.A.R. I want to get immersed in this one and I'm going to finish this one for sure. How bad am I going to be missing out not finishing the original?

I remember playing the F.E.A.R. demo when it first came out with my cousin. It scared the living crap out of me. That creepy girl that walks across your screen at the worst moments. Anyway, I'm looking forward to try this demo. My PC goes well beyond the recommended specifications so it should run well.

It's honestly hard to tell. F.E.A.R. 2 starts 30 minutes before the end of the first, so you may not understand what's happening -- although it may explain it in the game. You could always go to Wikipedia and read up on the story. I personally doubt you'll miss too much.

They were in the original, you just couldn't pilot them. You can for a segment or two in the singleplayer, and there is one multiplayer mode where each team will have one.

Monolith also made Shogo, so I wouldn't worry about the mech segments being bad ;)

Edit: New screenshots...

Any word on the demo? I know it's rumoured to be released in 2 days, but I was wondering if the devs have said anything.

It's supposed to be out tomorrow on the PS3, and then a week after that for the 360 apparently.

The developers can't give the release date due to marketing reasons at the moment:

    • Microsoft's Copilot Cowork now generally available with usage-based billing by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in March, Microsoft first revealed Copilot Cowork, a new agentic AI experience in Microsoft 365 Copilot through which users can assign tasks to AI to complete in the background. After testing the service with a limited set of customers in Research Preview for a few weeks, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork to customers in the Frontier program on March 30. Today, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork worldwide for Microsoft 365 Copilot customers. The company also highlighted that Cowork became the fastest-growing feature in the history of its Frontier program. Unlike regular Copilot Chat, Copilot Cowork can run complex, long-running, multi-tool tasks from start to finish in the cloud by using organizational context through Work IQ. When compared to Claude Cowork, Microsoft claims that Copilot Cowork will be 30% to 40% cheaper on average with its Microsoft 365 connector. For now, Copilot Cowork runs on Anthropic models, including Opus 4.8 and Sonnet 4.6. However, Frontier customers can now use GPT-5.5. Microsoft also announced Cowork 1, a secure fine-tuned model coming in the next few weeks, which is designed to handle everyday Copilot tasks at a lower cost. To access Copilot Cowork, a Microsoft 365 Copilot user subscription is required. Usage is billed separately through Copilot Credits, based on model use, context retrieval, tool calls, and runtime. Pay-as-you-go pricing is set at $0.01 per Copilot Credit. To offer IT teams full control over usage costs, Microsoft provides spending limits, usage alerts, user-level controls, reporting, and prepaid usage plans for organizations. Usage-based billing begins today. However, Frontier customers who used Cowork between March 30 and June 16 will not be billed until July 1, 2026. The Microsoft 365 Copilot app now includes a toggle to enter the full Cowork experience. Microsoft is also adding partner plugins, with Enosix, Harvey, LSEG, Miro, monday.com, Moody’s, Morningstar, S&P Global Energy, and TeamsMaestro available now. Adobe, Atlassian, Box, Canva, Databricks, and others are coming soon.
