"F.E.A.R."

Been hearing bits about this for a while, but theres a couple of nice articles at eurogamer today: [URL]http://www.eurogamer.net/[/URL]

Looks awesome - sometimes its nice to play a game that doesn't try to bring about revolutionary gameplay but just flings eye candy at you from all directions. Really looking forward to this one.

Screenies:

I particularly liked the shockwaves from hand grenades you could see when in slow motion. Actual, bullet time will also feature in the multiplayer.

That looked like a good jumpy bit, I especially enjoyed seeing the guy playing cack himself when that little girl ran towards him.

I've seen it in the magazines and it looks very good. I would certainly get it when it comes out.

I’m just watching that now.

The kind of bullet time moments are decent.

And the kind of Ringu/Grudge/whatever style creepy moments are decent. Watch for the bit when the light keeps turning on and off behind a blind/bars ;)

Looks Excellent.

My only worry is a graphics card. Games at high settings are really testing my 9800 Pro now, and F.E.A.R. looks like it might go further.

If it was the 256 MB I'd probably be alright, but I mostly have to play on medium textures, even on HL2.

Shhhhhh, we don't like to mention that particular travesty around here ;-)

Quite looking forward to this, seems to have a nice twist - FPS games are looking good this year again!

And Contract J.A.C.K (another one!), but let's not mention that eh? ;)

God, how long have we been waiting on S.T.A.L.K.E.R now? I remember going to pre-order it in february last year along with UT 2004.

Part all out action spectacle, part full blown phsycalogical horror, and by the same folk who made the vastly under appreciated No One Lived Foerver games.

Catch the full E3 vid if you can, it showcases some impressive sequences, in particular that freaky little girl that goes around tearing commandos to pieces.

This one definatley features highly in my most anticipated games of 2005.

Been looking forward to this one and S.T.A.L.K.E.R (whats with the T.I.T.L.E.S of these new games? sheesh).

Love the design and look (especially on the "spiderman" enemies, screenie 3), but not sure at all about the chubster on the last screeny with the RTFM belt.
