"Warner Bros. Interactive has released some new assets for F.E.A.R. 2 and they're looking pretty good. The only problem is that for some reason they doctored their own screenshots for F.E.A.R 2's benefit.
Now you can yell shenanigans at us for the screenshots, but these are press shots not our own. However, due to this particular circumstance, I thought it would be proper to do a comparison to the screenshot comparison issued to the press. So without further ado, here's a screenshot comparison to the press release screenshots. The first two shots are from the press circuit and the bottom two screenshots are from the actual F.E.A.R. 1 game."
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.
should be a good game..but im thinking..should i get fear 2 or resident evil 5??
God that games looks really dated, looks so last gen.
Amazing to think how far games have come in terms of looks with gears 2, killzone 2 and RES5
But Killzone 2 is coming out, so I'll probably get FEAR 2 before the end of this year.
daaang its amazing how the first one still stands the test of time
I'm buying them all...
F.E.A.R. 2, Resident Evil 5, Killzone 2, Halo Wars, Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena, Street Fighter 4, Star Ocean 4, Ninja Blade, The Lost and Damned, and Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection.
Those are my top ten games of the first half of 2009 in no particular order...
