Fear 3 Multiplayer: Don't Capture the Flag, F**king Run!

[Andrew_Mac]

The multiplayer actually sounds pretty sweet. But I think I'll pass on the game. Unless they don't make the scares "PUSH X TO NOT DIE" quick time events, like F.E.A.R. 2.

Some one watches Zero Punctuation...

That I do. But what he said is also true, and is what I've been saying for a while. Putting quick time events into horror games is stupid and removes any sense of fright. I'm not scared if I can control whether or not the monsters kill me through repetitive button pressing.

I am also a watcher of ZP.
But he's right. and I agree with you. The frantic button mashing when something jumps on you (dead space and dead space 2 to name a few) or when its scripted (F.E.A.R 2, and many other games...) just brings you right out of the horror. its like watching a good film and just as it gets to an exciting part, it suddenly says press the play button 50 times to continue watching. Immersion is a big part in games.

Back to Dead Space 2, for the story mode, it bugged me. For online? It just hurt. As either the humans or necromorphs, you have to frantic mash all the damn time. I could only play it for 15 mins tops, otherwise my arms would die.

No, I'm just getting a loop of the Publisher's Club ad.

As am I.

I've been fence posting over this game. I loved FEAR; I liked FEAR2 . . . but FEAR3 looks like such a change from the original's style and game world . . .

It just comes across too "consoley" IMHO . . . especially the big push with co-op and playing as Fettel. FEAR2 kinda had the same feeling, but it wasn't blatant. Sans a few "features," the game was quite fun and gripping like the original. The trailers for F3 come across like the title is being solely targeted and pushed for console. Whatever, though . . .

I'll probably still pick it up, but will more than likely wait for it to go on sale through Steam first.

I can't wait for this game. I'm very excited.

PS. I know the first two weren't scary, the both had a few jump moments, but the gameplay was great and the atmosphere was damn fine. I just NEED to see the conclusion of the story.

Still? I see it as working on our end. It may be taking a bit for the servers to catch up.

EDIT: Disregard this, was just me moaning about a problem that's now been fixed.

The multiplayer seems very nice, but I have no interest in the singleplayer, and it is therefore not worth full price or my time.

 

[Sniper Team 4]

Um...is anyone else having problems viewing the trailer? All I get is the seven second Escapist add over and over, not actual trailer. Which is a pity, because this sounds like my type of multiplayer. Running for you life. Yes, I'll take that.

I am too, it seems we're getting left out here >_<

Ah yes, it's working now. Thanks John

Since when was creepy girl... glowing?

 

[shadowform]

For the first time I'm somewhat interested in a FEAR title, simply because the Fucking Run mode looks like it could get really interesting if they do it right.

Ah, it's fine now =]

I'm just hoping this FEAR game delivers more than the second one did.

I just couldn't enjoy Project Origin. I will be keeping my eye on this.

 

[JohnDoey]

Fear 3 (which I refuse to write as F.3.A.R. no matter how much they push that name)

Ah, someone else who won't write it that way.

Fucking run mode sounds pretty awesome. I wonder if it's a "Stab other people in the back while you run" or a "work together and you're all graded together on your performance" type deal

If one person dies the match is instantly ended so you do have to work together.

Finally I've waited for years since the brilliance of Alien vs Predator Two for another game that has a multiplayer that's as scary as the singleplayer.
