If cant lean with it? Can you rock with it?

Edit: Look at Castiel specs. Then look at his fraps FPS. This game is a system HOG! I dont see why ether. The graphics seem meh.

Stop reading between the lines and read the lines... Castiel already posted that he was using a backup system... 3800+ and 9600gt :shadedshu
 
Either I'm getting old or something, but I thought it was scary as shit. I had to quit when I got to the ghosts, and that's like only two minutes in the game. Are they even killable?

Then NEVERMIND!

I didnt see that. :ohwell:
 
Hmm, I am having no problems running it at max settings 1400x900. It's a fun game, but it doesn't feel like F.E.A.R. Through the demo, I was rarely scared due to the run and gun style action. I am sure that the full game will be different, but it feels like a COD knock off. I also don't like the Halo like HUD and the Silent hill grainy ness. Dont get me wrong, I loved the demo for what it is, but it doesn't feel like F.E.A.R.

No it's not Rocking Rocks world :(... Seems like it needs a lot done to make me happy like the sound. But still might get it due to the wife liking it lol.

And you never know they might do what they did with the 1st and add\change stuff.
 
There is a 1280x1024 resolution on my end, however until i get a fix for w2k i can play in Safe mode, but wth you can't change resolutions and keep them in safe mode? I put it on 1280x1024 and it goes back to 640x480.

Anyways, i will be damn to post some photos, too shameful at 640x480 lol, but i do get between 15-30fps in the game , even tho i think at a higher resolution it should be better. I also have everything set on Maximum , but shadows off and AAX2.

:rockout:

Note, there is some slight pausing, i have everything on max, and the game is loading, so you know.
 
hell yea!!
lets see how accurate they were on the recommended system specs* thing :toast:
 
I notice it pauses a bit when either about to fight or when the game is loading, but after the area fully loads up, the pausing stops. Doesn't pause alot tho, just loads up in between areas. This game looks better then the other fear games, doesn't seem to be using the old fear engine either.

Man, i need to get this stuff fix, so i can play at better resolution.
peace
 
I just got done playing a bit of it... I really like how it was made for just a demo. I didn't play but a bit threw it. The lean isn't really a big hit to me, just have to wait to see...

Waiting for it to be night time before going to much more into it! :rockout:
 
when i rescue that guy after start i fall through the bottom of map and die everytime.. hahhaha
 
Runs fine for me at 1440x900 with my 8600 GTS, wuth the textures at max and the rest a Medium.:)

Its a good demo.:)
 
400mb left... Hope this doesn't suck.
 
Hmm, seems that many are reporting some sort of stuttering or pausing problem while in game. I've read that the game auto saves. However, the problem is that I haven't been able to use this feature in this demo. I've tried and I haven't been able to save the game, exit and start the game and continue where I left off. The demo has always started from the beginning each time I exit out of it.

There is, sometimes there are like one seconds pauses in the game, i dont know why, i just figured it was my system doing it.But it general its very smooth.:)
 
I just completed the demo it looks excellent graphically i can easily max it at 1920 x 1200 with 4 aa and runs very smooth the game it self is okay i found it to be not that amazing but not that bad either.

EDIT:
I was also getting some pausing issues but i thought that was because i accidently let smart defrag on
 
Im downloading now...never been so excited to get the shit scared out of me
 
Oh ya, and when i DLed the demo from the official site, it didn't leave a desktop icon picture for me, only the app.(doesnt matter tho, i just click on the app and it runs like normal)
 
WTF!! "This executable file has been corrupted. Please redownload this file."
 
Runs great at 1920x1080, dunno what that ReadMe file is on about......Liking it so far, seems like it could be a worthy sucessor to the original. Like the enemy AI too, that can make or break a FPS for me.
 
I got the same thing Spearman. I deleted all the stuff, ran cleaner, and downloaded it from TPU. Everything is fine now.

Yeah, its loving my system at 1920x1080. smooth too
 
Try the official site, tho it may not give you a desktop icon picture.

It autosaves and there is alot of loading in the game, kinda like with the old fear, but its worse now. Just giving you tips and stuff within the game, even when a fight is about to start. But other then that, plays just fine.

Btw, i wouldn't stay stuttering, its more like pausing/slight loading.
