“They probably called it “atmosphere” or something. I called it fucking boring. I buy shooting games to shoot stuff, not to hike around empty offices.”

Luckily for you they made Halo! :D

…

I won’t watch this because I don’t like spoilers, but man… that’s some nice looking blood.

I can’t imagine the trailer could actually do your description justice, so I won’t bother watching it.

From the trailers I’ve seen, I don’t think they’ve really addressed one of the main complaints people had with F.E.A.R., i.e. the endless grey rooms you fought through. From what I’ve seen, we now have a (grey) wreck of a city, (grey-ish) corporate headquarters of Armatech, probably more (grey) warehouses and a (white-ish! *gasp*) hospital to splode bads in. So basically the same shades of grey as before, but with 50% more liquidised Delta Force cannon fodder splattered over them! Joy! It’s an acquired taste, I guess. ;)

Where’s all those other game settings that we all love and cherish, such as GENERIC MIDDLE EAST CITY, obscure jungle island and Omaha Beach ‘44? Wouldn’t you prefer to nail insane hospital interns to giant Ferris wheels in abandoned Soviet era-cities (grey, but with a hint of rust and peeling paint!)? Or roundhouse kick rainbow-ninjas in a steamy South American jungle? I know I would!

i really enjoyed the first fear mission pack… offered a lot more variety than the original game but the end sucked so much that it hurt.
also they never even bothered to explain why the other characters you play have the same super-soldier time-slowing powers…

I actually did find FEAR pretty scary (being a wuss), except for Alma herself. Like all good plot devices, the appearance of Alma was a sure sign that nothing remotely dangerous was about to happen.

Fear Alma AGAIN.

Perhaps monolith is sticking a bit too close to the same FEAR formula? Because people want to run through the same office complex again right guys?…. GUYS?

“and that Alyx Vance can go fuck herself with a crowbar.”
That would be something to see…….

Sounds like someone hasn’t had a really bad fever-dream about being chased by a herd of animated rocking horses. You do not want to let those fuckers bite you.

IIRC there was also one in Toy Commander with air-to-air missiles. Not that scary but not something I’d pick a fight with either.

Whenever I see the title of this game I get all excited thinking that Project Offset is being discussed. Does anyone have any inside info on it?

Did I miss it or was there no bullet time at all in that trailer?
