I feel like you're not not exactly remembering original FEAR too well. You complain about levels in FEAR 2 being boring and linear. How's that different from the original and how exactly does it make them inferior in the sequel? 1st FEAR's levels were extremely boring and linear. Not mentioning that they all looked like they just copied and pasted them over and over. How's that better than FEAR 2? I liked the game overall, but after finishing it for the 1st time I sort of started hating office environments in shooters. The level design was pretty lazy in both of them to be completely honest.

[@BoulderPunch]

It's crazy how much the industry changed in the 3ish years between Fear 1 & 2. The first FEAR being one of the last big budget PC first titles. The rise of COD and everyone copying it. The 7th generation and HD gaming era with increased budgets and fewer risks. Consoles becoming the focus with PC ports as afterthoughts.

[@AvalancheReviews]

Absolutely. If you were playing Fear 2 for the first time and you didn't know any better, you might assume the two were made a decade apart based just on their design. They just feel like totally different eras in gaming. Which, I guess they are.

[@MILDMONSTER1234]

I still say that fear should have been an episodic series that has a different paranormal villain and enemy faction each title that’s self contained as opposed to bringing back alma each game

That is a cool concept

[@radoslaus1987]

Great idea!

That was the plan for the Vivendi timeline. What ultimately became FEAR 3 originally started out as unrelated to Alma, Fettel et al. The story was to follow a FEAR unit as it tried to track down a scientist who had opened a portal to another dimension.

[@AvalancheReviews]

I'm there's plenty of people like that. The era brought so many old franchises into new homes. The 360 and to a lesser extent the PS3 were so damn popular, and they got so many PC ports. It was an overall force for good, as far as bringing classic PC games to console players.

I loved F.E.A.R. 2 and still play it today. I first played F.E.A.R. 1 on the original PS3 and it was a buggy mess that keep crashing on me and I loved it. When the second game came out the moment I finished school I sat down and played it all in one sitting, my dad was mad that I played through the entire night. The first two games will always be one of my favorite games with the third I didn't like the story nor the focus on arcade like multiplayer but I did like combat so I played the wave mode where you survive as long as you can a lot.

[@bubbajoe117]

FEAR 2 holds a special place in my heart not only being my introduction to the franchise and the story of Alma, but also being the first ever horror game I would not only play by myself but beat on my own as well, I know there's a bit of a internal rivalry in the FEAR fandom between the first and the second game on their similar yet differing horror styles, but the second game scared me to a point the first game would never reach until I finally found it's "FEAR Files" expansion pack list... The way many of the scares in the game were set up to have multiple trigger points based on where you were or where you were looking did a great job at blurring the lines and casting the illusion of "dynamic horror" which was rather rare at the time, some personal favorites were the pool room of Aristides penthouse (where there's two seperate occasions Alma herself can appear behind you stalking you and moving with you like Lisa from Silent Hills PT) the hospital bathroom shortly after you wake up, and of course the entire elementary school.

[@Bertaut]

Steve Gaynor was a level designer on Perseus Mandate and after FEAR 2 was released, he wrote a blog post breaking down why the level design didn't work. Well worth a read - I can't post the link, but the title is "Basics of effective FPS encounter design (via F.E.A.R. and F.E.A.R. 2)"

[@ironeleven]

1:06:46 It looks like the current console generation is the first to support Variable Refresh Rate (like G-Sync or Freesync on PC), meaning a dip below 60 FPS doesn't automatically cut your screen's refresh rate in half (traditional vsync).

2:40 Oh shit, I didn't even know that. Looks like we all need to be thankful that F.E.A.R. didn't suffer the same fate as Raven's Wolfenstein and remains widely available to this day.

[@mattlandry]

1:02:00 just a heads up I don't think that's the level of detail distance you are seeing. I think that's shitty anisotropic filtering. Most games used trilinear filtering instead of 16x like you would usually use on PC. It's basically a filter to help the quality of textures when looked at from odd angles if you aren't familiar. Not a criticism just thought it might be something you'd be interested in checking out. Edit: 1:08:00 higher resolutions increase the distance of anisotropic filtering plus xbox back compat upgrades I believe increase it to 16x as well if I am remembering correctly.

[@Smique4542]

Without going into too much detail I do like F.E.A.R.2 quite a bit. Sure I prefer the first game over it any day but I did enjoy my time with it. The sound design for the guns felt off and many times I could just memorize the enemy locations and spawns and beat the encounter basically early. I have to say I do like the over saturated gore effects while in slow-mo and I like the look of the game a lot. Almost the same thing with Dead Space as it has this "realistic" but still a but cartoon-y look to it. Im so glad you didn't crap onto this game like almost everyone I've ever watched did. This is exactly why I enjoy your videos. Even if the game happens to be underwhelming or disappointing, you still try to find atleast something good about it.

[@mattmedrala1947]

I personally find FEAR 2's art style the best iteration in the series, perhaps because it embraced a colorful futuristic aesthetic more reminiscent of '90s and '80s sci-fi (particularly cyberpunk anime, which Monolith were big fans of) and that distinguished it from the many 'grittier' shooters prevalent at the time. FEAR 1's felt bland by comparison and 3 veered too hard into being embarrassingly edgy.

[@gabrielseth5142]

When I played FEAR 2 the first time, Alma's presence felt threatening and scary, like in FEAR. After finishing FEAR 2 and going back to play it later though, knowing Alma's "intentions" with Beckett from the start made her appearances, not quite comforting, but almost like a little guardian at the peripheries

[@InfernalMonsoon]

I like FEAR 2 quite a bit but I feel the series would have been so much better if it just stuck to what the first game did well and expanding upon that, while also going for a completely different story where you combat some other paranormal threat, thus making FEAR more of an anthology series story-wise but faithful to the OG gameplay-wise.

[@mattmedrala1947]

Funny enough, that was the intention for the original 'FEAR 2' that would've followed up from the first game's expansions, where they would move on from Alma and ATC to focus on a new conflict revolving around teleportation experiments bringing in mutants from another dimension in the fashion of Doom/Half-Life/Dead Space. That concept got clumsily recycled for 'FEAR 3' in the form of those weird Phase Soldiers who literally came from a separate story from anything related to Alma.

I like the expansion of the story for this universe especially on Almas life. Though I was not expecting that scene at the end and my last reaction to the game was "what the fuck". I will admit that this game is way easier than the first as in the first the AI would move around and sneak so much that I actually died a few times. Though I still find the general gameplay fun in Fear 2 and this time the ps3 actually got a better port compared to the Fear 1 port. Fear 2 also felt a little less horror than 1. Which was kind of disappointing since one of the reasons Fear 1 caught my attention was that it was a horror shooter and it did give some good creepy atmosphere while 2 had some moments it still lacked compared to the first. Then part 3 came is pretty much put a bullet to the head of horror in the series.

[@mattmedrala1947]

I loved the worldbuilding revolving around expanding the scope of Armacham's control of the city, and Alma's characterization is a really creepy yet tragic twist for a villain.

This was my first dive into the F.E.A.R. franchise, and since I wasn't that into games of these kind like Medal of Honor or CoD it was a good game for me to get it on with FPS' besides the Halo franchise, or at least the original trilogy. What I liked about this game though was the slow-mo mechanic and even though many say they dropped the fear factor I found the hospital and the school pretty damn scary even though I was in highschool back then. The thing I didn't liked was the fact that many of it's arsenal felt really weak in the damage department. Sometimes is better to get close and personal than wasting a full clip of machine gun to down even the regular enemies. What I found funny though was the fact you could change the difficulty of your game anytime you please and that way you could cheese one of the hardest achievements like it was nothing by just getting your game rank up the difficulty at the last checkpoint before finishing a mission and it actually counts as if you've finished the level at the hardest setting. Obviously the ending was a cliffhanger to tease a sequel but I think they handled it wrong as it felt too rushed and when you are getting to grasp the endgame it just ends too abruptly.

my virgin playthrough of all 3 games was on ps3...and i loved them especially 3 (my first platinum). That being said i snagged the trilogy on steam for cheap...and i look forward to playing on the steam deck more than my gaming laptop.

Good review. While I don't think F.E.A.R 2 is a bad game I didn't like and play it that much because F.E.A.R and Extraction Point were excellent games and 2 was no where near these two especially F.E.A.R. The first time I saw the slow mo in 2 I was off already because it didn't felt like slow mo compared to F.E.A.R. The bullet tracing alone in F.E.A.R made me excited to shoot and watch the bullets travel in slow mo. F.E.A.R is one of the best FPS games of all time, at least in my opinion
