the game was great. suspense was good, freaked me out some especially last at night with little sleep.
 
I didn't like how it ended... :(. I mean it's a great leadon to Fear 2, but I was really disapointed. I mean, the guy who kept tormenting you throughout the whole game you kill in one shot without a huge battle. I was very bummed at that =(. He didn't even have a scary death, it was like "Here I am! Haha *boom*."
 
Does it start getting better after interlude 3 ?
How many interludes are there ?
 
I'm having issues. I think the sound is messing things up. It just freezes up for 1-2 mins at a time early in the game. Not going to mess with it anymore today. Quake 4 was impossible to get to work earlier. Not a good gaming day for me. :mad:

I played without the patch. what is your hardware?
 
I beat this in under 8 hours and yes the ending to me was very disappointing but the gameplay throughout was quite nice. If I didnt like the multiplayer (unlike alot people) I would not consider this worth the money.
 
Shit the last interval made me turn up the lights, turn down the sound and listen to the radio. The parts were those entire ghost thing kept coming was insane. I had just a pistol, man I was soooo pissed when my rapid cannon disappear. Had a stock pile of ammo for that naked 15 year old chick to unload. :D
 
Huh? Didn’t you get to the part where you had to empty a whole pistol clip in that alt-world lab place where everything was moving slow? What I meant was that I was saving ammo for a final showdown with whatever was inside that glowing ball. I must of gotten the bad ending.

there are 11 I hear... intervals. :) I have not finished quite yet tho..
 
Need help, toward the end you kill the dude. Then the 15 year old keeps f'cking me up. How do you get past this? I emptied clips and all. Any help. Feel free to pm as to not spoil for those who have not played.

EDIT: Solved!

BTW, this game is awesome. If it was a fwe levels longer, it would be better than HL2. As it is, I would say they are about equal.

There's 10.

11 is the epilogue.
And I liked the ending. The explosion at the end of Interlude 10 was un-freakingbelievable.

I couldn't believe how incredible that was...
*drools*

EDIT:
Anyone else think that the game is really just a mash-up of Half-Life 1/2, Japanese horror films (The Ring in particular), and Metal Gear Solid, though?

I mean, the game was incredible, don't get me wrong. I loved every minute of it but during the game, I can't remember how many times I called Fettel the G-Man, and OMG @ what was in the Vault. I was like HOLY FUCK they're gonna get sued by Valve!!! (they're not)
And at the end, the phone call after the credits... just like MGS's. Not to mention the actual storyline (the entire Origin "tragedy" was set up by the government to test the first prototype's [you] abilities)....

I agree. People may say the ending was bad or the game was too short but meh. It was an awesome game.

There was three ways it could end:

1. You fight Alma and kill her which releases her from the evil and shes shown smiling/laughing in a field or something as an 8 year old.

2. You fight Alma and she just dies, proving that she was evil(cause of all the fucked up shit that was done to her) and theres a moment of reflection because your her child etc.

3. You fight Alma and it leads to a very movie-like ending where shes revealed to be alive after a nice big explosion (what happens in the game), very movie'esque. Also proves shes still rather pissed off.

The way in which they did i personally thought was good as it was basically what a horror movie would do, which is what the game was trying to achieve IMO.

Im not annoyed that the game was short, i just wish it was longer cause it was so awesome heh.

THAT IS JUST FUCKED!
I just said the same thing to my friend not 5 mins before I came on here.
The 2 games and 1 movie this game reminded me of were Metal Gear Solid, Half Life, and The Ring.

But yeah the story was strange, So you are one of the offspring of Alma, who just so happens to me a genetic creation that they used to create super soldiers.

But I was let down that you never had a real boss fight in the game, I really wanted to take on Paxton Fettel, and you just get to shoot him in the head...

I loved this game, the Nuclear Explosions at the end of interval 10 was un-fucking-believeable!

I liked how it ended with Fettel.
I wasn't expecting it. I was just standing there, and noticed that he wasn't going away... popped a shot and next thing I know he's down for the count. I was like :eek:

But yeah... If anything, I guess the "ghosts" or whatever the hell those were at the end of the game were sort of the final boss. I had to restart at least 5 times cuz they kept getting me. :(

I'm not sure if Alma is the basis for the supersoldiers, though.
From what I gather:
Alma = you + Fettel's mother
You're hidden for an unexplained reason from the record, and PUT(?) on FEAR by the gov't to test out your abilities in the upcoming catastrophe...
Genevieve opens the vault and awakens Alma, who then releases Fettel and makes Fettel try and get revenge on Wade (her father) for taking away her children...
You end up triumphing over the entire event, thus proving the first "prototype" a success...

I don't remember anything said about the supersoldier's origins...

All the replica soldiers were created from a "unknown" genetic sample, which later on you can kinda guess it was the first prototype, AKA YOU!
 
What were those demon in Interval 10?
I know they were in the dream state, but WTF were they?
Souls that Alma had killed?

Ah. I missed that.
...or didn't pay attention to it.

Eh.

And I have no idea what was up with those demons or whatever.
All I know is that those are what killed the Delta forces and such

No Alma killed them with her internal fire attack.

Remember in Interval 02 when you go and open the gate and you come back to see that (young) Alma killed them.

Yeah but remember in Interval 10, when Alma "attacks" you with the same thing, she's actually just standing outside the ring of fire while the demons come and attack you...

There is only one ending, the 3rd on this list.
He was saying it could have only ended in 1 of 3 ways... then he listed what he though would be the ways.

Shes just a mean bitch, trying to kill her own child!

Not to mention, she has been dead for 25 years.

Also she really needs to get a hair cut and stop "The Ring" girl look!
 
Anyone else think the plot had some Akira mixed in with it? Replace Alma with Akira, Fattel with Tetsuo, and your character with Kaneda.

lol.
She's dead sexy at the end of the game. <3

Did you happen to see the FEAR prologue in the bonus content?
lol it was so cheesy it's funny :D

Interesting observation. Nowonder I liked it so much.

 
Does anyone know what Fattel was planning on doing had he made it to Alma first? I guess I missed that part of the plot. I know he was planning on "releasing" her, but it seems like she was already released by being dead, and blowing the place up only helped her.
 
Loved the ending and the explosion was great but come, that was a lame final fight. Why is no one else dissappointed with this?
 
the nuke explosion and mushroom cloud while you were in the chopper was the most stunning effect i have ever seen in a game!

The mushroom cloud was video...

But the explosion at the very end of Interval 10 was very real... and absolutely unbelievable!!!

She was awake and had powers but not really free, Think of ir this way, through Fettel she was able to project her spirit and interface with us (me, Fettel, and delta force) but buy releasing her you gave her spirit free reign to go where she pleases.
 
Actually the plot is more borrowed from Elfen Lied, a japanese show where there is a scientist who puts his daughter into cruel experiments and daughter is a freaking wackjob that tears people to bits with invisible psychic force and such. The father becomes remorseful and seeks to free the daughter.
 
I don't know about you guys, but I was happy when I found Fettle munching on Alice Wade, that bitch deserved it :)
 
This game seems to have pulled something from a lot of sources.
Anime
Movies
other games.
I think thats why it works so well.
