Fear 2 Demo Out

My god this is downloading slow. Everywhere I try to download it from I only get like 100kb/s. I should of downloaded it when I found it :banghead:, but I was downloading something else at the time. Looks like I'll have to wait till later to get it.

Have you tried the torrent?
 
I'd install and play it now, but I have serious cleaning to do. And I want to install my new 4870 first before playing it as well (which means draining and refilling the loop).
 
Ok, that link to the torrent does not work for me, there's nothing to select when you click on it.It just says "Index of ftp://download.gamer.no/gamer.no/fear2demo.zip.torrent/" and there's nothing below it to click on.:confused:
 
What settings are you using and what kind of performance are you getting?

I'm very happy how its running Default settings at 1600x1200. It just don't seem as good for some reason like when glass breaks. Maybe i should go though the settings again but from what i noticed it picked high settings with a low res.

I do get the odd pause but thats due to my dated v card.


I downloaded mine from fileplanet @ 900KB that was high enough and knew gamershell would be bogged down like always.
 
I'm not downloading if there is no built-in benchmark tool. :(
 
Wierd. Try this:
http://www.gamer.no/artikler/fear_2_project_origin/67359
and click
Last ned demoen fra Gamer.no (Bittorrent – anbefales!)

If I could attach the torrent I would do it, but they are not allowed.

I already tried that... I even tried right clicking the link to "save as" and even that timed out..

Alright, I found a different site to get it from
http://games.on.net/file/23671/F.E.A.R._2_Project_Origin_Demo
I'm currently downloading at my max speed :), so try that one if you cant get the torrent to work.

That one works.. descent speed also.

Please crank that $h1t to the max and let me know if it looks better than the original.. sorry to be so demanding but I'm at work and I have to play vicariously thought you... lol
 
Strange. They maybe don't allow connections outside of Norway? I'm sorry for the inconvenience.. At least I tried.

It's ok i thank you anyway ... now go drain that loop :roll:
 
Fileshack is usually FAST for me but they are popular and the waiting time can be long.
 
PS3 download when I get home from work!!! w00t! And honestly, I couldn't care less about the lean... so many games don't use it. I barely used it in the first one.


Edit: And remember this is the demo, not the final product, so things may change.
 
And honestly, I couldn't care less about the lean... so many games don't use it. I barely used it in the first one.
Exactly what I think about the lean, I've never used it in any game where its an option and I never used it in the first one.... just seems pointless to me, I just run and gun.
 
heh complaining about lean now, in this game lean was somewhat needed, your not gonna sit up here and tell you run and gun vs a POV armor, unless you had a shotgun with slowmo....

the reason lean isn't used in other games is because there is no real opportunity to use it. now instead of throwing other FPS into the mix which don't need lean we can go back to the one that actually does somewhat need it,

Ummmm....Ok, I never used it in the first one and had no problem finishing the game on the hardest difficulty, so I really don't plan on using it in this one. And again I think its pointless for this game, just MY opinion.
 
You know, it's not impossible that lean will be implemented in the final game. Remember that the FEAR 1 demo was UTTER crap compared to the retail game.
 
I totally forgot that it came out today! Thanks!
