[Guyver]

ya me an asmithz were keeping it to ourselves lol, yeh iv got it pretty fast!


gonna go try it now :D

[asmithz]

WOW.... Just wow

That was a great demo... It was scary, it was exciting, it was new. I can't wait for the full version, I was so hyped. I need the game now.

[abu_has_the_power]

i just played a bit of it. looks a lot like swat 4 and chronicles of riddick escape from butcher bay than doom 3. the shadows look gorgeous though. my 9800 pro barely pulls through with 40 fps with everything on max and 2x aa 2x af

9800pro here too, but I am getting great preformance. ;)

It really dosen't matter about what it looks like. Whats more important in this game, is the physics. Its simply amazing.

[abu_has_the_power]

wat settings and fps u doing?


just finished it. that demo was way too short. way too short. :dry: :dry:

[asmithz]

Same as you just no AA, no need really. I ran fraps and get about 50fps when outside, and 70fps inside.

and yea the demo is way to short :(

[Guyver]

yup game definetly kicks ass :D

[cpt_azad]

sweet jesus that was good :) can't wait for full version, and i agree with you guys, way too f'ing short like wtf man are they trying to make us go nuts? lol i'm getting pretty good performance but def. not what i expected, rite now i'm running on a 6800 but i'll have an x850 installed tomorrow-ish (it was already installed but it kept giving me problems, had to go change it). getting about 55 fps avg. everything on max and no AF or AA.

[SpecialAgentPunk]

Well I haven't finished the demo since it closed on me right after I started climbing the ladder in the room where you first see the girl, so I can't really comment.

The intro and everything was okay. Wasn't too great. What was up with the font, it was like Half-life. And wtf was Gordon Freeman doing there lol - did anyone see that?

Anyways, guess I gotta finish playing to find out. I did have to put everything on off or minimal...need better vid card.

[abu_has_the_power]

gordon wasn't in the game

:blink:

[SpecialAgentPunk]

dude that guy with the gordon glasses.

[imasoldier]

That demo was awsome the graphics went well with my 6800. Only thing is I need more ram to have it running smoothly only have 512 : / That was the shortest demo ever took me 5 mins to get to that part and it was 600 megs? Imagine the full games size I hope the full game isn't short. Anyone know the exact date release of this game?

the ram wont do much except speed up the load times

[imasoldier]

Thats exactly what I want it for :P my 6800 runs smoothly but with 512 ram the 6800 can't go at it's best

[SpecialAgentPunk]

shit, I still have the same problem of the game crashing.

[abu_has_the_power]

the amount of system ram doesn't affect fps that much. it affects loading time and alt-tab time more

[SpecialAgentPunk]

holy shit. this is a good game.

I figured out what made the game crash - anytime the helicopter showed up. So that sucked... does anyone want to buy me a new vid card?

dude, this is the first game I have ever played that spooked me. Damn that girl is scary. I wish I could play this at max specs to get everything... but I am definetly getting this.

[neon]

Hey played the demo, its a bit scary ey..
the AI could do a little smarter.
7/10

might copp this.

[ApacNTS]

watched all the demo's i could, interviews and such, game looks very very good, the amount of detail seemed beyond belief. the system specs are pretty high up there, but the way it looks it's more than worth it. i wish i could play the demo, but this computer wouldnt have a chance in hell, i installed the demo just to see, if it would even boot. after i installed, i had about 800mbs of free space and system was already slowing down considerably. went to load game and got about 3 error's back to back. needless to say i took that as a sign of things to come and uninstalled it. still got 2 months, maybe i'll scape something up by then, would love to have this game. if anyone here who played it makes a video of themselves playing it, that'd be awesome, wanna know why that little girl is so scary.

[SpecialAgentPunk]

FEAR should think about doing all they can to lower the spec. requirements. I think they'd gain more that way.

dude i hate you. no, I can run it okay on my pc, but I just need a better vid card. I don't think I'll be getting one for this game ever since I started reading comics though... anywhere where I can get a free one?

[mike45450]

the AI could do a little smarter.

Are you kidding? I thought the AI was amazing! The first encounter with the enemies, this guy actually jumped through the window to get a better shot at me, then later a shelf got knocked down blocking one guy's path, and he actually got down and crawled underneath it. I dunno about you, but i've never seen AI characters ever do that in any game i've played.

[neon]

always room for improvement, Like when there fighting they scream out things that are not in place, like U shoot his buddy and it's him just alone and he still screaming "take cover" or "he's over there" and i dont know about you but talking to yourself isnt very fun :).

[thegoodfight]

the ai does seem quite impressive, lets hope they optimize the game a bit better, because the graphics arnt anything more than half life 2's and it runs far far better

[asmithz]

Looks better then HL2 to me, HL2 is to square imo. Not sayign it sucks, just that this looks better to me.

[abu_has_the_power]

u guys notice that the barrels don't move? :blink:

the environment damage seems kinda exaggerated. 1 bullet makes a huge hole in the wall

[asmithz]

u guys notice that the barrels don't move? :blink:

Moves for me

Thats kinda tha idea

[neon]

Well if the wall is concrete it is a possability but i find it doesnt "always" make a huge hole in the wall. i just thought me pistol had exploding bullets :(.

but the engine does seem a little slugish.. hopefully they will optimize this before final release?

[Peerzy]

I take it you have shot a wall with a gun from the future, and arn't going on what you saw in some shit American-ised movie.

:blink: :blink:

the 1st shot will make a huge hole, and a 2nd shot will make a tiny hole. i suppose it makes sense in some way... :blink:

And you have proven that the game is wrong by testing these weapons on a building wall :rolleyes:

[asmithz]

Its a game, its not suppose to be relaistic. Oviouly it isnt, and its trying to do the matrix effect, trying to build up excitement. Its fun when you shoot everyone, particals are everywhere, blood sprays, and chunks of the wall is tooken off.

[neon]

if it was realistic it would be under the genre of "simulation"

and as to shooting a gun in real life and testing it to a computer game..
they both are out of picture, one is real one is fake, you cant compare.

[abu_has_the_power]

y the hate y'all? i liked the demo! i'm just confused why the bullet holes are different sizes. i'm still kinda confused

[ApacNTS]

could be dependent on how close you are to the wall. what type of wall you are shooting. ricochets? what type of gun? maybe they gave you this one big bullet as a headhunter tool, pop off the first shot and BOOM!! off goes their head. hollow points???ok im out of ideas, and i really need to play this game...fuck!

[ziggyjuarez]

when i click the demo a web site pops up then the screne gos black and it gos to my desktop 0_0

CAPS LOCK IS AUOT PILOT FOR COOL!

I've been playing the demo a lot, going back and doing it on the harder settings and such, great demo and sure to be a great game.

[maebach]

I think i'll download the demo and try playing. Sounds good but it might be too scary for me :fear: .

[GepperRankins]

on my PC auto configure made it look like half life 1. i set it up manually and got it to look fantastical. moral: if it looks shit, don't cry. change the settings.


i wasn't expecting it to scare me. i watched the grudge (japanese) this weekend and i tried to be scared and just found it boring. i played the demo of this and actually screamed at one point (the bit when you turn round on that ladder). scary games>scary movies and this is probably the scariest game i've ever played

Watch Tale of Two Sisters for a scary Asian film.

Game was okay, had it running on good settings. Still, I'm bored to death of FPS games though :(

[GepperRankins]

DLerising now :D

[maebach]

:fear: I got scared of Signs (the Movie)

[silent h3ro]

:fear: I got scared of Signs (the Movie) :lol: That movie was lame. The part when u see the alien is prolly the worst part.

[ApacNTS]

when i watched the demo being played through on gamespot, i was like "oh shit" when the girl appeared behind you when you were going down the ladder. im trying to build a computer solely for this game, and it's a stretch to say the least, cause it's so graphic intense.

[Shiranai_Baka]

Lol the bullets and sparks were great but the game had to load a bit every 8 meters or so in the game. anyone else having that?

[maebach]

Lag?

[Shiranai_Baka]

My frames were fine. The game was choking up for me.
