Fear 2 Demo Out

[Castiel]

 

[MaxAwesome]

This game only requires a pentium 4 as minimum! Now that's an optimized PC game! That's what I like to see.

Take that, crappy ports!

I can't wait to get home and try this so I'm downloading it at work. I hope my rig can run it. (I know it can )
AMD 64 2800+ OC'd to 2ghz
1GB Kingmax DDR-400
ATI Powercolor 9800SE -no pipe unlock
Biostar NF3 Motherboard

Low setting goodness here I come!

 

[RevengE]

You should be fine erocker I heard it is a very optimized game.

Using windows2000, i have to wait for a fix to be able to play it. It installs fine, but before i get to the main menu, i keep getting a pure fuction called R6025 error, whatever the hell that means.

Turn everything down to low! I just got done playing it through and it is awesome! It will be even better if I could play it on high settings, but my PII rig is under construction so I can't use that.
I was using a 9600Gt,4GB Ram, and a 3800+ X2 @ 2.0ghz and i can play it on medium.

But when stuff loads in game, it glitches as it pauses for half a second and your frames drop to 0 then they go back up.

This game is awesome, everyone should play it!

I was looking at your screenshots and I was worried... "35 FPS on a PII @1440x900 oh snap this is not looking good"

Thanks for the update

lol yeah, My whole rig is laid out on my bed because I am switching cases. But it was better playing it on my 19" screen than my 24" because I would of gotten lower frame rates. But I am going to record the whole gameplay on my PII on max settings when I get it back together.

But it is a whole lot better to look at when your playing it instead of stairing at my screenies. That is just partial of and the little stuff of the game. PhysX are good, and some of the stuff is real nice.

But just play it, I don't want to ruin it for you!
Oh yeah, when the ghost starts to attack you, pay attention and shoot it with the shotty so you can pay attention to what happens around you, don't just run through the demo, take your time!

 

[CDdude55]

on 25%, cant wait to play.

Suggestion: Use the restroom before you play

Gutted, was at 1.6gb and I closed my browser instead of minimising it!!!! Won't have it till half ten now.....

I think it's better than the original. It hitches sometimes during gun fights, which is really annoying (It's not an issue of my computer, Project Reality stopped doing it once I got more RAM). But the atmosphere is much better and feels more detailed. Plus the "horror" scenes seem larger I guess you could say. It also runs perfectly maxed out @ 1280x1024 w/ 4xAA and 8xAF. BUT, that's probably because of the huge black bars.

That's my issue with the game. It doesn't support 1280x1024, you can even see the bars in Castiel's screens but he's in Widescreen so they aren't as huge. I stood around in the beginning because I thought it was still a cutscene the bars are so huge.

Here's a quote from the readme.

"In order to get the best game play experience, it is not recommended to run F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin at high resolutions. You should avoid resolutions above 1024x768 for 4:3 displays, 1280x768 for 16:10 displays, and 1280x720 for 16:9 displays on any current generation card. Instead, use the full-screen anti-aliasing (FSAA) option under the Advanced Options menu. This helps improve the visual quality of the final scene without dramatically increasing the amount of work that must be performed."

What. The. Fuck.

 

[RadeonProVega]

Visual C++ i do believe

Already have it install, keep getting the message. I remember in kane and lynch it gave me the same error, so i had to turn my sound acceleration to full to fix the problem. However, in fear this does not work. So i will just wait for a fix over at the 2000 forums and hope to play it.

Peace

LOL thanks coach jk

I'm still surprised it ran that well on the modest system you were using.. 35 fps would be pathetic for a PII but it's commendable for the 3800+ and 9600.

 

[RadeonProVega]

It works just fine in safe mode , hmmmmmm
pictures/benchmarks coming up.
peace

LOL. just me being a dickhead. I fell off my truck and landed on my head yesterday so I blame that for my forgetfulness.

Um, one word. BETA.

 

[Lopez0101]

The game is less than a month from release. Besides, a demo is a bunk excuse to limit the resolution you can play the game at or to introduce letterboxing. Either way, I hope it's gone in the retail release.

 

[TheMailMan78]

EDIT: There's not even a lean in it .. If it's like that in retail version i will not be getting it.

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.

 

[Cold Storm]

had to redownload the game... for some reason it wouldn't unzip... bad dl..

 

[EastCoasthandle]

Here are a few pics of the game.










1920x1200
all maxed
used CCC's 16xAF

I didn't like the controls at all. I had to change a lot of options to get it to a preference I am comfortable with. Also, this is first game that didn't detect the side buttons on my mouse.
