Forums - Gaming - FEAR 2 demo impressions from all camps?

i tried it this morning on psn.

was quite good i thought, but i didnt like the charachter movement seemed slow.

gunplay was good and grafix were very good, from the start it ran smoothly. i think they have done a good job of making a good port, that is if it is a port.

its a massive improvment over the 1st fear game on ps3 massive improvment.

overall id say its looking to be a good game but il have a look at picking it up later on.



...not much time to post anymore, used to be awesome on here really good fond memories from VGchartz...

PC version has superior visuals (obviously) if you have the juice in your machine.

The PC demo is 1.7 gigs the 360 demo is 750 megs...lol

Otherwise both demos look great and the game definetly steps out of FEAR 1 universe with gameplay. Lots of new thigns such as new visuals, new HUD, new sound fx, new controls and new control mechanics are there.

AI is still excellent though. Enemies will run backwards/forwards...roll on the ground...knock over tables for cover. you can knock things down for cover too...

The horror tactics work better than ever...there are 2 moments in the demo where I pooped my pants.

The fact that a lot of the combat is outdoors and that AI has this huge area to work with and it manages to stay"intelligent" and not get stuck on a fire hydrant is quite impressive...

Mech parts are a blast as well...really tight gameplay.

This was a must buy for me before i played the demo and now any doubts I've had are gone.

FEAR 2 demo is up on PS3, 360 and PC I believe...

I have downloaded the 360 version and had a little time playing it... seems pretty solid.  any other impressions from 360 owners or others for their respective demos. 

I am looking at this being a rental at the momet I think.

downloading it at the moment so will give it a lash over the weekend and get back to you.

Yeah I remember the bullet time now alright it was a nice touch similar to max payne I think.
Another good game imo and one I would love to see on hd consoles.

The game looks promising but my eyes hurt when the lights started blinking and the spirits were appearing. Doesn't look like I can play this for too long.

the graphics were ok, the Lightning was great, there were many moments that made me jump, and Alma is still awesome. Alma the undead loli.

That one thing people always need to consider when playing games. I jsut can't play Doom 3 engine games very long. I get motion sickness.

 



There was a lot of slowdown when i was playing, nothing major, but kinda annoying.
