F.E.A.R. Plays Differently Every Time

[@RabbitsRespawn]

This actually isn't my video. I had a friend over the other day and he pretty much hogged my PC the entire time. After a few games of Age of Empires 2 he wanted to play FEAR, seeing as it was the only shooter I had installed. I loaded up the funeral home from Extraction Point, used console commands to increase the slow mo and unlock all weapons. Then I set it to extreme difficulty and told him to go nuts. After a while he started recording the shootouts and editing them together. Told me I should upload it. No idea if you guys will like this, but I found it quite cool how the game keeps playing differently. Anyways, here's a link to my last video in case you missed it kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnStf39qhth8a7c Apparently it didn't reach everyone's sub page.

[@mr.universe7049]

You have Age of Empires 2? You're man of culture, I see.

[@JoonasSariola]

Yeah it can be easily seen it's not Rabbit playing as player in this video because player is taking hits which Rabbit never do.

[@BrandonPerez-vf2wf]

That sunovabitch pretended to be dead and then stood up? Holy fuck, these are professionals.

[@Counter-Chicken]

I've played through every game and it's expansions (except fear 3 or course, that game is awful)and I've never seen that happen. It never ceases to amaze me.

[@Counter-Chicken]

Bingus, those dual machine pistols, along with an automatic shotgun, are weapons exclusive to the console versions of fear. The machine pistols sometimes replace the rpl smg spawns.

[@BrandonPerez-vf2wf]

Counter Chicken Same here, the F.E.A.R series can be played numerous times without getting bored.

[@gmgmaker9289]

I assume he dodged the grenade and because of this was lying on the floor.

[@damsonn]

Yep, he was still taking cover from the granade the player tossed @0:43

[@Shermann]

This game was so ahead of its time. The AI still surprises me with its intelligence even by today's standards.

[@ImmaJellal]

Amen

[@HaraDayaful]

I wish today's standards weren't so damn low though. If an enemy runs away from a grenade, that's considered good AI today.

[@hemangchauhan2864]

Watch Game Maker's Toolkit video on "AI" and he covers FEAR. There's another fantastic video by Turbo Button on FEAR's level design.

[@EXTREMEKIWI115]

Sherman I'm pretty sure that A.I is the very hardest thing to program.

[@TaurionMartell]

its 50% good immersive ai and 50% leveldesign that the ai can use really well to make them seam more real. think the dev said something like that

[@wtfronsson]

One of the greatest action shooters ever made. Honestly I can't understand why no one tried to bring this formula back.

[@dopey473]

Well there is Trepang 2

[@austinharvey7644]

@@Jsinebdjsmdbej You hit the nail right on the head. Trepang2 has the over the top gore, but lacks the AI, the creepy atmosphere, and the lore.

[@dsandoval9396]

people keep talking about the great AI but every time I played FEAR it was all the same. sure there were small veriables here and there but I never once saw sqwad members giving cover fire or anything other than flanking. this is FEAR for PC people are talking about rght?

[@odinson4184]

@@dsandoval9396 Late comment, but I noticed it quite a lot. You get frequently pinned down by enemy fire and enemies called out all the time when they were giving support. Maybe you're killing them too fast? Also are you playing FEAR 3? That has the worst AI.

[@dsandoval9396]

@@odinson4184 FEAR 3 has the worst AI!? Awe man! That sucks! I was looking forward to that one too some day. (I have a POS laptop and I was going to get a better one later). I've played 1 and 2 but I was referring to 1. I keep hearing/reading how 1 has great AI but when I play it it just seems meh. Sometimes they're easy, sometimes they're a little hard (not TOO hard) and I always play on the hardest difficulty. They flank and pin me down at times but it seems completely random and nothing to do with actual tactics. I mean, there's no clear time I have seen that they act intelligently as the times they do manage to hold me up for a while seems by coincidence because when I die/reload their tactics in the same area will seem dumb, not intelligent at all. Or when I play an area that was tough the last time around is now unchallenging and easy now. As I said, there seems to be NO intelligence in their actions and any difficulty spike seems like random coincidence. I'll play it again and maybe I'll pick up on it this time, I don't know.

[@byMedalcore]

Basically in every video Rabbit shows that any good old game can be a SUPER fun old game

[@Mamac2006]

there are so many particles, it feels like my pc is stuttering even from watching the vid

[@Counter-Chicken]

It runs like a dream, the only performance issue I ever had was the polling rate on my Logitech mouse causing the frame rate to be locked at 30 fps

[@ubersoldado]

and it actually is a pretty well optimized game

[@ubersoldado]

maybe you have some compatibility problems? keep in mind F.E.A.R is an old game that might have problems to run in new PC's. it's weird that the base game runs fine but the expansion doesn't.

[@LordVader1094]

@@theavidgamer6213 It's probably just that Extraction Point is badly optimized.

[@apoletestry3766]

People use to benchmark this on their systems before Crysis came out... Only two years later.

[@Brouzouf_Jones]

The funeral home is my favourite part of the yearly FEAR + XP runthrough. Dynamic entry into a crowded room that isn't a contextual button press cutscene should be a more common thing in FPSs. FEAR is probably the closest to The Raid of all first person rooty-tooty-point-and-shooties out there.

[@crushglobalists8640]

This shows that you don't need procedural generation to have variation in your playthroughs.

[@SHVRWK]

This hits different after Starfield

[@Z1601J]

took me a while to realize we're playing the exact same scene all over again and again until 3:05. testament to good game design.

[@dno734]

Well, Fear's level design is one of its weaknesses. Office, scientific complex, abandoned house, office. All this is very depressing. However, the environment of the levels is great for shooting with enemies, because after that you forget about this drawback.

[@Proenke]

FEAR 1, what a masterpiece :)

[@HexxuSz]

G.O.A.T

[@DrLanky]

It's so cool that the AI even tries to fake their death to catch you off guard. This game is brilliantly awesome.

[@Counter-Chicken]

F. E. A. R. is seriously one of the best shooters I've ever played. My only wish is that it was as easily moddable as the classic doom games.

I wish we could get a FEAR 2. I mean an actual sequel, not a failed abortion.

[@ToeTag9899]

t850terminator couldn't agree more F.E.A.R. 2 was dumbed down garbage.

[@Mateoski97]

t850terminator F.E.A.R. 2 wasn't a bad game. F.3.A.R. however was a terrible game. F.E.A.R 1 is still the best in the trilogy however.

[@corruptor5150]

t850terminator Agreed. This is one game that I would buy again if it were given a graphical makeover. If it got a proper sequel I'd buy it at launch. For the time being, I'm gonna reinstall and shoot all the mans.

[@Xiox321]

What about F.E.A.R Online? That game was da bomb ;P

[@Britishwolf89]

Yeah man F.E.A.R was and still is such a top notch FPS. Shame it's sequels were farts in the breeze.

[@nomercy8989]

F.E.A.R. The pinnacle of the FPS genre.

[@jeffthethird268]

I have never been so happy for a KZbinr's return to constant uploads 😍😍

[@DashUnderscoreDash1]

I definitely thought this was because you saw this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2nEZ4BqjJ6rgM0 By GVMERS. I really do love this game and how it nailed so many different aspects of a great FPS.

[@Amelanduil]

Some classical music would be perfect to go along with this carnage.

[@Userius1]

I remember how some reviews talked about how the game had too many repetitive environments, which coupled with it's long length (I think it was somewhere close to like 13-15 hours) made it get boring by the end. Now, I don't know about them, but there's no way this would bore me.

[@cattysplat]

Reviewers had no idea how good FEAR was at the time. Everyone thought single player FPS was just going to get more creative and intelligent, especially after Half Life 2. Then CoD became massive popular for it's set pieces and fast multiplayer with sprint button, it's never been the same.

[@dno734]

All this is due to the shooting, the game has a very pleasant shooting, plus effects such as blurring, discarding particles and others, are great for levels in enclosed spaces. But unfortunately the reviewer didn't give a fuck about it, so the game was rated with negligible ratings

[@seven0929]

This game is amazing. It shows you things in your perspective and perception firstly then it shows theirs afterwards. You can see that at 1:23. It goes like: [slowmo] "Fuuuuuuck" bang bang bang bang and then the camera shows you the normal speed a "Fuck" telling you everything happened the same speed as they said "a normal "Fuck"

[@zed6234]

There *still* hasn't been a shotgun with a sound as beefy and satisfying as the one in F.E.A.R.

[@fabianvalenzuela3935]

No wonder people praise about the games AI. It's was ahead of its time.

[@StrazdasLT]

its ahead of current time too. No other shooter has AI as good.

[@trumediamix1]

Necromorphs know how to play dead - but Replicas lie on the floor and get back up simply because of F.E.A.R's ragdoll physics.

[@SullySadface]

I fucking love Scissor Kicks. Also slide kicking dudes to wedge them into rooftop hvac units, walls, doorframes, furniture, the ceiling, assorted physics debris.

[@napalmkitty6686]

That replicant you knock on his ass that like quickly spun up and around to get you was funny. Dont think ive seen that in here before lol

[@matthewbrian6360]

Today's developers need to use the first F.E.A.R game as an example for pushing boundaries in the quality of games.

[@adamberg4375]

A remake of this game would be incredible.

[@DeltaCressida]

better textures and better reload anims would totally be radical

[@sagenebula7120]

this is why F.E.A.R and F.E.A.R are the best for games ever made.

[@WarpScanner]

I never played extraction point but I did really love the original. I even liked 2 to a lesser degree. Currently playing FEAR 3 for the first time (almost finished) and its definitely nothing like the rest, it feels very much like a dumbed down FEAR, reminds me of how I felt about Crysis 2 compared to its original. Console style design, highly restricted. We need more shooters like the original fear being made today.

[@RemixedVoice]

alanb:) Aim down sight isn't a bad thing. games should give you the option. for precise headshots, aim down sight, for everything else, running and gunning and such, the crosshair should be enough. also, you do realize in this game, many of the weapons allow you to hold a button which brings the gun right up to your eye? it's pretty much ads.
