I rented FEAR 2 and had a complete blast with it. Will probably do the same for this one.

Is it just me or does this game look really old?

The Contractions mode looks like Nazi Zombies with mechs. Dunno about this one yet.

Cool, so it's a copy of Horde mode from Gears and a copy of Left 4 Dead... How original. It looks terrible.

This game looks terrible, those textures look like they popped out of 2004.

Still mainly only intrested in SP but at least the MP looks kinda fun. F.E.A.R 2 MP was kinda boring.

Fear died when they released FEAR files. Sad to see a once prominent pc title be dumbed down to complete shit.

When I played this one at PAX-East, one of the developers seemed more pleased that they came up with a clever name for the survival mode than if it was actually good.

I hope the "Soul Survivor" mode just loops this song in the background of gameplay:

Unhappily a bit on this train too now that I re-remember this. What the hell, Monolith? Still I will at least check the reviews, despite the graphics maybe it will still be a deserved Fear game. But one of the selling points of the origonal Fear was the then remarkable textures, graphics etc.

People need to spend more time making interesting game mode like this. That was 100% my favorite part about BLOPS.

Does this still use the Lith-Tech engine? It just looks a little off graphically. What is Monolith doing if they arnt making this?

Graphics look a bit dated. Hopefully the singleplayer has better visuals.

I don't think I'm the first that thinks this game is going to bomb-ba.  Anyways, that was a pretty hilarious hammer animation.

This game has crappy graphics for this generation of shooters.

I do not care about realistic graphics, but they have to be artistic and nice, these aren't. Still going to get it though, because it is co-op.

Kind of reminds me of Timesplitters for some reason, maybe because of the focus on non-conventional modes over TDM and CTF and the like. It's the first piece of FEAR 3 media that actually has me slightly optimistic

Gawd I luved Fear 1! I also really liked one of the expansion packs, the one that had the origonal characters, bummer that it was.

 

Fear 2 was ok.

 

I have minimal hope for Fear 3..but I do want it to be good. I will not give up on it . Through the muddy graphics i still sense  potential.  Reject the path of kane and Lynch 2, and actually deliver a hardcore and worthy game!

The fact that they didn't use generic TDM, DM, and KOTH has me pleasantly surprised. I will probably Gamefly this.

I really enjoyed Fear 2's single player but didn't touch the multiplayer, maybe I'll give these a shot.

I like how I can't understand what the fuck is going on and I like it for that. I can play Halo: Reach or whatever Call of Duty game a friend has, what I can't play is a game where I can slide kick a ghost.

These modes look like a smart choice for less blockbustery games like Fear.  There's no point in competing with Call of Duty or Halo with a simple deathmatch mode.  It's a more worthwhile approach to try to do something a little bit different with your game modes.

Of course Singularity tried to be different and look how long that player base stuck around.
