An exclusive look at the improvements to the engine for the upcoming Monolith's title F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin.
Inspired by the J-Horror craze going on at the time, Monolith’s F.E.A.R. was a solid action fest of a shooter that entertained as much as it terrified. Bloody Disgusting goes back to see Alma ten years on from the launch of the sequel.
This game honestly killed all my interest in the franchise, I loved 1 and its expansions (even though they're technically non-canon now) but the sequel was such a let down.
First-Person Shooters are a dime a dozen nowadays and it’s a struggle to really find one that stands out and separates itself from the genre. This can be a double-edged sword, as a FPS that brings something new to the table can often unintentionally have that new thing staying at the table forever. But what if that game managed to capture a concept so well that not even its successors could manage to tap into its perfect blend of creative design? Let’s say they decided to mix genres: ones that had been mixed before, but managed to do something that hadn’t been done before. Could it be possible that a studio managed to make a sort of lightning in a bottle for FPS’s, something so good that there may not be anything quite like it for over a decade after it came out? Well, that DID happen, and that game’s name was F.E.A.R. First Encounter Assault Recon.
its been almost exactly 4 years since F.3.A.R. its a great series that needs a comeback.
The first one still holds up well to this day. Hope to see another one on current gen ;)
Hardcore Gamer: GOG has made its name as the place to go for DRM-free gaming. Now, the company has added a number of games from the Warner Bros. Interactive library to its lineup of available games.
fear was very good
one of the most important factors in fps is the animation,specially the death animation,if they implement the euphoria engine in fear 2,kills will be much more satisfying and dynamic,specially since fear's shooting mechanics is sick
keep up the good work monolith.
If they work well FEAR 2 could be the best FPS in 2009.
Cuz FEAR (1) was great. Real action and a superb gameplay.
...whoops, sorry, forgot this was n4g.com, Killzone 2 fps of the year 2009. All other titles in the fps genre will suck in comparison, my advice delay this to 2010, because Killzone 2 will pwn '09!!!! =0p
I think FEAR2 is probably my most anticipated title for the next 6 months. Don't get me wrong i can't wait to see Killzone and Resident Evil 5 but FEAR gives the things I love most from both games in one package. I really hope they don't screw this game up. The original FEAR for PC was in my top 5 favorite video games ever.
