Ive played fear mp but whats the sp like. Its just im moving from a x1950pro to a hd 3850 and thought it might be good time to get Fear and have a run through. What settings u reckon i could pull from it with my spec in sig plus hd 3850 512mb card?

Also hows the story in Fear?

Last time I played it, it had dated really badly

Still worth a play through though, just in time for Fear 2

As for settings, medium-high I'd have thought .

Fear 1 definitely maxed. Especially at 1280x960. Was fine (well fine I did get fps drops but it was playable) maxed on a 6800GS at 1024x768 on release... Personally I think it's boring.

Its very dated these days. You will be able to run it fine on those specs, think i managed to run it on med/high on an x800. Still havent got round to playing fear 2 yet

I don't agree.

I loaded up Fear the other day and at max settings it still looks very good!

It's definately playable still, I don't really notice how it's aged once I'm playing.

Best first person shooter I have ever played I think, certainly in recent years. Excellent story and I share the same thoughts as above - has aged quite well.

Its great, cracking blagfest.

I always likes the FEAR games. There is a pack with the first 3 that you can get for next to nothing if you look around.

It looks good in some places, yet poor in others - flame and heat effects are really good, model details is excellent although there aren't too many different kinds of enemies, and bullet effects and slow-mo is done superbly.

However, theres a LOT of office trundling around, limited closed-space areas, and although a few things in the environment move/break, it doesnt quite have even the same destructible feel as HL2's environment.

That said - There has been NOTHING since FEAR that I've enjoyed quite as much as running around with the 10mm HV penetrator, stapling replica soldiers to walls and giggling like a schoolgirl

Fear is running great. Tho stops when things loading

but plays really nice maxed out.

Tho using 1600x res and subtitles on the subs are absolutly tiny. Is there any way to boost the size do you think?
