[Official] F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin

[Sethos]

Going to try this out on the 360 later tonight when I get time, skipping Single-player and going straight to Multiplayer - Hopefully something to hold me over until KZ2 release.

[Ayepecks]

From what I understand, the game ships today. It will not be available for pickup until tomorrow.

Nope, it's out today :) My Walmart doesn't have it in yet, but it's also rather rural and doesn't get games fast.

[CNSBarry]

The game is nowhere near as bad as the Eurogamer review would have you believe.

[ViperAFK]

Haven't read the eurogamer review, but ign and others gave if favorable reviews, and the demo was really fun.

[Testrum]

I'm looking forward to F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin, I never played the first F.E.A.R. but the demo too the second one was amazing.

[PiracyX]

LMAO @ the Eurogamer Review.

The game is really good from the demo and quite possibly with controls added to that, better than Killzone 2!!

[Ayepecks]

Gah, I'm gonna have to make an hour round trip to get the game tomorrow because the local Walmart won't get it for another week. Poo.

[spaceelf]

I tried going to Walmart for games once (I work a night job and they're 24hr) and they didn't have Fable 2 even though it was like a week or two old. I haven't gone back for games since, except around Christmas when they still didn't have what I wanted.

On another note, Valve refunded me on FEAR 2 (even though it's against policy) when I said I had preorder from Gamestop I forgot about.

As a one-time thing of course, but it's absolutely awesome.

Good to know some companies still prefer happy customers and gentle reminders to sticking to the rules.

All i have to say is FEAR 2 needs to answer many unanswered questions as Extraction Points ending really left you hanging. Are you playing Fetels brother in the new one since I do see a helicoper down in the beginning of the demo or are you playing another FEAR team such as from Persusus Mandate (which was okay but still left many unanswered questions).

Hoping when we all finish FEAR 2 we're left with some clarity or understanding whats going down. Because the game has MANY unanswered questions that is for certain!

[spaceelf]

FEAR 2 ignores Extraction Point and Perseus Mandate. They never happened. A little confusing, but it's understandable when Vivendi was so lame.

Recommended for the best experience in F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin.

Up to 10% performance increase in F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin.

And now, I imagine the stuttering is fixed (for NVIDIA at least.)

[Ayepecks]

The expansions aren't part of the story. Ignore them.

[Mannlich]

Today is the "release date" -- but that doesn't mean it is available. I have called every gamestop/wal-mart/best buy etc around me and they all said the same thing -- they will have it available tomorrow. There are plenty of games that do this.

[Ayepecks]

The game is released, I assure you. Go to the official forums -- plenty of people have got their copies from stores.

[Kane]

Bah, won't get mine till the postman visits me on Friday.... If I'm lucky.

[Victor Rambo]

Gamespot gave it 7 out of 10.

It's doing not bad, might give it a spin. Never completed FEAR 1, but it was fairly enjoyable.

[Massiveterra]

IGN gave it an 8.3

Why isn't it?

What's so special about the Multiplayer on KZ2 then?

Surely Eurogamer must lose all creditability after this in terms of reviewing games correctly.

The reviews are actually saying it's good?

I don't know personally, I haven't played either yet and neither have you. But I'm looking forward to the KZ2 multiplayer portion far more than FEAR 2.

Wait, why did EuroGamer give the game a 5/10 when all the other ones were 80% or higher?

Gamespot clocks in at 70%, but the Eurogamer review is definitely way out there in comparison to the average.

Without even playing the game, I'd say it's unlikely that it's deserving of a score as low as 50%.

HAHA there you go again. Why do you always make this about other people not knowing anything or less informed than you?

How can one reviewer get a game 5/10 when everyone else pretty much give it 8/10+? It doesn't make sense. Should we refuse the KZ2 review they did aswell?

Audio, You have been looking forward to Killzone 2 for ages, It's quite clear with your Avatar & Sig and all the threads u started about it for the last year which one u prefer. You have so much bias towards the game it's not even funny.
