when did fear get so dated?

since people have been seeing the thousands of screenshots of upcoming crysis, probably.

i still think the graphics are quite nice, hell, i still think UT2004 graphics are ace.
 
I think Far Cry has aged badly going back a year ago maybe bit longer I thought what was everyone talking about?

I also believe that F.E.A.R has aged really bad I remember buyin that game when I first built my PC and thinking it was amazing
 
Probably the main difference would be textures ? I know games are using more vram now, its very power consuming whereas polygons are scalable.

The textures on crysis are awesome.

Half life isnt a fair comparison since it has had the engine updated consistently since launch
 
The new demo looks very dated, but I still think Fear looks ok, the effects are still nice :)

Its hard to compare when we have had the immense detail of objects in games like Stalker, Crysis and ofcourse Bioshock since FEAR.

Just watched a Hi Def trailer of Project Origin. Now that looks awesome :D
 
Found out about "Perseus Mandate" today, don't think I can bothered to play it

I got bored of the expansion to the original game very quickly.
 
Probably because I only played FEAR and Extraction Point very recently I can forgive the environments and because the gameplay was fun I wasn't too concerned on the cut and paste style environments. Wish they would have continued the story from the first two though.
 
Damn, after thoroughly enjoying BioShock, this demo almost looks like it has no lighting :eek:

Definitely one that shouldn't have been dredged back up without a major engine overhaul...

If I recall even when FEAR was first released many people said it looked bland and uninspiring all except the actual fight sequences. It has always looked bland and dated from day 1 It may have been ahead of its time interms of some effects and technology but that did not translate into a beautiful looking, jaw dropping game.

i agree
when fear first came out i always wondered why everyone raved about the graphics they were very dull/bland its like they used the same shade of grey for the walls and dark grey for the ground for 90% of the game

it also ran like crap considering it didn't look that great (think 7800GTX was top of the line back then)

the gameplay weren't that great either
not bad just didn't deserve the 90%+ review scores it got :rolleyes:

/shrugs
 
yup, very dull game once you get past the mechanics and eye candy...and WOOH!!

....the zombies .....:D



*OK hands up those who have never played this game at 2am*
 
To sum up the FEAR series:

Environment and objects: simple
Physics and special effects: very good
Character and enemy detail: very good

I guess they could have made the environment more exciting with the same original engine

now bioshock is different for its work of art environment and water effects:)
