Fear the Wolves - S.T.A.L.K.E.R Themed Battle Royale

Just played my first game of this, finished 5th out of 97.

My initial thoughts are the performance isn't horrendous, it could be better. 40-50FPS maxed at 4k doesn't seem terrible.

The sound is superb and loads of atmosphere in the game, more so than any battle royale game I've played before. I'm going to get a few more games in and see how I feel.


They have stopped handing out BETA keys now but if anyone wants one you can get one from here for a quid, least it's something new to play and to try out if you were considering buying on early access on Wednesday.

I will buy this game but only at the right price, if it comes in at 20 quid I'm out, 10-15 I'll buy in.

I wouldn't touch this with a bargepole! Vostok Games failed to deliver on Survarium, and now they're recycling assets to cash in on the Battle Royale trend. It's a shameless cash grab!

Edit: I love how they always plug the Stalker series, as if their involvement gives them some sort of credibility. We all know the more influential members joined 4A Games and created the Metro series!

I know what you mean, however there is something about the game it COULD be good but at the moment it's in no state to be released as EA imo

I played 4-5 games last night and enjoyed it to an extent, but there are definitely some major flaws in my opinion.

- The map is far too big for the number of players - more often than not you're just running around aimlessly in the middle-game trying to find players
- Footsteps - so loud to the point it makes hearing other players difficult
- Healing - does it exist?
- Needs more vehicles

The atmosphere is fantastic and it looks better than PUBG, but a lot needs to be improve for me to buy it.

Agreed, it has potential. Too early to write it off tbh. More work needed.

I urge people to give the beta a try it will cost you a quid from the link above to play for weeks on end as it develops it does have potential and I want to give the devs a chance on this one
 
Update to this, seems devs have been hard at work


Hi everyone,

This week's Closed Beta session is open!

It will be closed next Monday, August 13th, with a specific time to be announced soon.

If you haven't received a key, don't worry as we send more regularly. Make sure you're registered for the Beta here to receive your key[www.fear-the-wolves.com].

What to expect from the Beta?

The team continues to work on your feedback from the previous Beta session. The current priority is to have a smooth experience and matchmaking. Some of you complained about the lack of games played in the last Beta and that's due to a lack of players in some specific regions.

We're trying to bring more players in the Beta to ensure a better experience for everyone - don't hesitate to suggest to your friend to join by registering here.[www.fear-the-wolves.com]

Please find below this week's changelog:
  • Added Advanced Graphics Options.
  • Added more keybindings.
  • Added handbrakes to vehicles.
  • Fixed a bug where sometimes the player could be immediately killed when an anomaly spawned.
  • Added an additional warning notification 90 seconds before adrenaline infections begin.
  • Increased the time of the helicopter takes to prepare from 60 to 90 seconds.
Quick reminder that the this Beta isn't covered by a NDA, meaning you can share videos, images and info about the game this week. Keep in mind that it's a work-in-progress version of the game, and players may encounter bugs or crashes, that may lower the quality of the in-game experience.

We’d love your help in identifying these bugs, so that we can make the Early Access release version of Fear The Wolves the best that it can be.

Please join the Fear The Wolves official Discord[discord.gg] to synchronize with the team and testers.


Where can I share feedback?

Please report technical issues and general feedback on the Fear The Wolves official Forums. Before submitting feedback on the forums please check if there is an existing thread about the topic, or if it is listed in our known issues log.[forums.focus-home.com].
