Fear was kinda fun, but the graphics kinda sucked imo :|

 

[Yaka]

If you had a shit PC yeah.

FEAR was the best looking PC game last year and you needed a beast of a machine to run it on high luckily i had one

meant the 360 one, judging from the demo the graphics are kinda weak imo :|

This looks soooooo good, amazing it seems to actually be living up to the hype and the fact you can play the single player campaign over live in co-op with 3 others - this has got to be the must have game of the year

The demo was an E3 demo so you could say it has had atleast a few more months development.

Reviews say it look just as good and even better in some areas.

Co-op is just 2 players i believe atleast that is what i have understood from the yankees.

 

[Aada]

Wooohoooo i have it Shopto.net sure delivered the goods this time

Only had an hour on it so far but it looks and feels fucking great, i've started out on hardcore difficulty and it's defo a challenge.

From the moment you get busted out of the prison the game flys along like an action blockbuster movies.

I have got used to the chainsaw now and i can say it's probably one of the best moments so far ramming that chain saw into some bugs face and letting rip!

Now i have to go to work until 6pm but damn it's gonna be a good night tonight

 

[JingleBells]

Hmm, anyone seen any ingame screenshots, all the stuff i've seen look like cut scenes?

 

[Clown]

In-game shots do look like cut scenes because that's what they look like...

 

[Tilda]

Is it comming for pc?

Except none of them show a first or a third person view

 

[Wonk]

Is it comming for pc?

nope :9

 

[Aada]

The game really blows you away when you first load it up the graphics are insane and the framerate is just outstanding.

Everything is done in realtime so far there has been no loading screen moving between areas.

Can't wait to get home now

Thats how you play the entire game the graphics are like a CGI movie but you're playing it.

Thanks for the link Aada, cancelled from Amazon - not only saved money but it should come earlier too

 

[Starman]

Wooohoooo i have it Shopto.net sure delivered the goods this time

Its already arrived from them Aada? I've not ordered from them yet myself - any good?

They don't mess around as soon as they get the stock they start shipping i even got a phone call from them yesterday advising they were dispatching my game, now thats service for you!

I even got a discount and got it for £33.99 because i have ordered from them since they opened.

Gameplay are ***** though i cancelled my order yesterday around 11amish.. i go to their site and its being picked and packed today so i give them a call and i can return it when i get the game. Wasn't happy though because i gave them more then enough notice. To me it seems like abit of dishonesty on their part.

If you ordered before 5.30pm you will have it tomorrow as they use next day delivery. I was lucky though coz i thought i would have to sign and i overslept so i thought shit!! went down stairs and the postie posted it through anyway

I ordered a few games from them before around 4.30pm and they still dispatched it by 5.30pm as promised.

 

[KevinUK]

Yep its already completed my order!

 

[Clown]

£3 discount for first order

 

[tris-]

i dont understand why it says release date bla bla but you recieved it already.

is that the same for all games?

 

[KevinUK]

They must just ship the game when they recieve the stock, the official release date is when they will guarantee to have it to ship.

Your order is currently being picked and packed.

Game can be good sometimes

is this really as good as its made out to be then?

lot of people on xbox.com saying its boring and relys heavily on pressing A.

Well A is for cover so there is a reason why you press that button alot. The people who are saying the game is boring from my point of view are run and gunners not tactical players. There is no strafing/bunny hopping or any of that shit.

Online is pretty awsome my first game i got my ass handed to me think i got like 1 kill in 19 rounds. Online is a totally different experience and is really tactical running out in the open and doing a spray and pray will result in you dieing very quickly.

My next game was a little different i played a stealth game where i went round the back of the opponents and whipped out my trusty chainsaw and thrust it into each and every single one of those bitches .

One map i really enjoyed was a train station each side starts on either platform all of i a sudden i heard this noise it was a train and it was coming fast i look onto the tracks and i see a COG (human, i was the Locust) and he is running for his life to the other side.. then splat his body is all over the tracks lol.

I am really suprised how well the multiplayer is done there is no lag, no problem connecting to a game and the graphics are exactly the same! none of this GRAW bs toning the graphics down to xbox1 standard. Framerate runs a great pace haven't noticed a dip yet in multiplayer. Althought in some scenes in singleplayer it has dropped once or twice.

Overall i think the game is fucking great it shows what the 360 can do if done well and it gives a great experience. The game is alot of move to one area clear enemys and rinse/repeat but if you like a tactical shooter then i think you will love the game. Run and gunners will not like it tbh as it requires alot of pressing A to run to cover.
