That is because it was designed for pc from the ground up unlike today were everything has to be multi-platform to sway the console crowd in buying the game en masse.
I don't know it has some feeling too like very liminal atmosphere and nostalgic too. Would love a remaster with unreal engine 5 something like unrecord.
Just played through this corridor not long ago and remember reploading the save a couple times from both dying and just because of how much fun the gun fights were! FEARS a GOAT
I just started Extraction Point last night and I recognize this level. I was thinking the same thing when I got to the checkpoint: the gunfights are ridiculously fun in this game! Like you in this vid, I always forget to slow down time and punch/kick enemies.
Actually, none of the AI's are aware the others even exist. There are a few spots where you see firefights between ATC and Replica forces, and it basically comes down to who's shots happen to be aimed in exactly the right spot.
the PS3 version of FEAR has a bonus mission called SFOD-D where you play as the first Delta Force recon team sent into Armacham HQ, you can find it on youtube
I've played all the F.E.A.Rs recently this year and they are good except for fear 3 but the first will always be the best because of its ai. No video game can even compare the complexity F.E.A.R.'s ai showcases and they programmed it with a simple set of codes.
The first one also has the best atmosphere that the sequels couldnt quite nail. I liked the second one alot too but the first one will be the top one in my books forever. Even the sequels for the first one werent quite as good.
@@uniquechannelnames When you play enough you get a good feel for how to properly move around cover, check corners, proper positioning, etc. It's certainly doable.
In addition I also made cross hairs transparent and aimed with bullet tracers. Only used reflex mode in specific areas where you don't have enough cover.
eh perseus mandate was a stronger game until after your partners death. extraction point has this memorable combat sequence but wasn't a fan of its story and direction. both expansion packs really feel cheap in many ways. fear 1 was the peak and end.
@@9ner Extraction Point wasn't cheap at all, remember the last thing you saw was teenage-alma jumping into the chopper, then you wake up in the city overrun by the destruction of the Romelmeyer Complex and from that point it feels like a horror show not knowing how the hell are you going to escape that mess. The only thing that went kinda cheap was the ending wich left no closure at all. Extraction Point won the "expansion of the year" award and paved the way to the sequel, while Perseus Mandate went downhill since Vivendi brute forced a crunch program on its development nothing could prepare us for the console-casual-ish degradation that would be FEAR 2. I think the fact that John Mulky (I belive that has his name) left Monolith during the development of FEAR 2 left the team without the voice of sanity that held together the development of the first game.
I got back to this game every year and every year i just grow more and more of an appreciation for the AI and how they function, even almost 20 years to the day it was released. Im currently playing it again BTW
F.E.A.R., Extraction Point and F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin are honestly my favourite FPS/Horror games, not just due to their fusion of Jon Woo action with Ju-On style J-horror, but because the GOAP AI, coupled with the environments firefights take place in and the satisfying weapons (minus F.E.A.R. 2's pump action shotgun, its Auto Shotgun is more what you'd expect from a F.E.A.R. shottie), make for some of the most holiest of combat scenarios in any video game. Perseus Mandate and F.E.A.R. 3 on the other hand? Former has its moments despite weak writing and largely barren outdoor sections, but the latter wasn't made by Monolith or TimeGate, and it shows between the hyperfocus on co-op action over the action/J-horror fusion of its predecessors and its terrible story. I'd happily play Perseus Mandate over F.E.A.R. 3 any day of the week.
Im replaying them all over again for nostalgia and the achievements i missed and its bring back so many memories i really love this game and the creepy tone it gives hopefully they can do a reboot of the original someday
The F.E.A.R Is a millitary unity who fight agains supernaturals threats,so yeah,it's basicaly the grand father of SCP fondation. But at least the fear have Pointman,he Is an entire army by himself,the SCP soliders are mostly jobbers. The SCP foundation need soldiers like Pointman
If I remember correctly, the devs specifically built this section to showcase the AI. I'm pretty sure the barricades/cover would be procedurally generated every load so the flow of the office would change.
I played this last year after idk how many years lol I got it in 2007 and man what a fucking game best FPS ever made better then anything out rn they raised the bar to high
The ai in this is not "better" it is better implicated. The levels were designed for the ai to make easier calculations, its also a form of ilusion, thats its smart. The game truly makes it look like or to at least give you the feeling that the ai thinking. Like the radio chatter, when a enemy squad is almost wiped out it always says "i need backup" or something like that, it adds to the ilusion, but its just a indicator. Just like ai jumping over things or through things, its just lvl design. If you look carefully you can see were the ai could easely flank you, but didnt. Was it ahead of its time? Yes Do we have better ai? Yes. Is new game ai utilised by its game lvl or gameplay design? Not at all. A good modern ai example would be alien isolation were the game again makes you think the alien ai is smart. But its just the elusion. Loop up some game design or ai secrets or how stuff behind camera work on video games, like re2 mrx, or the xenomorph from isolation. Ect ect.. interesthing stuff
Not sure if you can get it on Xbox backwards compatibility, but I recommend you get it on PC. Original F.E.A.R console ports were known to have bad performance.
Fear ai till this day gives me a hard time... especially on the hardest difficulty...yes there are some things that are better today,but 99% of their thinking and gunfight is the best ever...games nowdays are braindead
The AI itself wasn't more advanced it was more just that the AI was pretty much designed around a very specific philosophy all of the areas in which you fight to the enemies in fear are very closed off and very tightly put together this leads to their AI being able to do well since they were designed to fight in this
@@tancredelegalileen9777 No. AI in F.E.A.R. and STALKER is really more intelligent. Compared to most games right now. They are unpredictable. Play both of them and you realized there is no pattern in their behaviour. Like they are thinking.
Yup. ALmost no brain dead pattern whatsoever - they're adapting as they go and this is just incredible. God I'm just desensitized to brain dead AI at this point thanks to all the games now
Slo-mo in this game is unnatural and makes game too easy. I would not call myself a hardcore gamer. But I used it just once and then never again. Its more fun without slo-mo
Every FEAR AI video makes the enemies look harder and more intelligent than they actually are. They are no different from your stock video games enemies with slightly more aggresive AI.
Sorta on topic, but the appearance that they're more intelligent than they are was actually a tactic by the developers using clear voice lines just to make it seem as though they're communicating. Gotta argue tho that they're still better than most stock video game enemies, as their pathing and action logic is much more polished than most competition. Not more complex, but definitely more polished.
you are playing wrongly on purpose to make it look more dramatic (therefor the real fight isnt that good) 0:46 u didnt kill him -1:11 1:15- everywhere, pretended to accidentally walk in to an enemy 1:45 you could have gone slow motion but that would have been lame 1:49 didnt check behind u and shot nothing 2:19 alerted enemies, didnt aim 2:22 ignored 2 enemies then ran in to them making sure both could shoot you 2:34 failed suppression then walked in to his range 2:45 closed door for no reason 2:57 didnt aim 3:03 looked away from only position enemy could be and allowed an advance then missed a grenade for the voice line 3:30 left him alive to walk in to him 3:46 walked backwards despite clearing previous area
@@johnjonjhonjonathanjohnson3559 Bruh, you're looking too deep into this. I'm playing on extreme difficulty, where one or two bursts of enemy fire is usually enough to kill you. So I'm prioritizing taking cover and moving around over simply being flashy and cool.
im saying you are trying to be flashy and cool by failing and making it look more intense than it is when the situation is calm and lacks danger and therefor isnt the best fight ever you dont need to be in cover if you are close to 1 enemy because they cannot hit you

It was 2005

Check out Trepang2 time time. It echoes FEAR
@@metacitizend1095it was made in a proprietary engine, for it to be remastered in eu5, that would be called a REMAKE

I just started Extraction Point last night and I recognize this level. I was thinking the same thing when I got to the checkpoint: the gunfights are ridiculously fun in this game! Like you in this vid, I always forget to slow down time and punch/kick enemies.
Playing this game with minimal slow-mo is definitely a fun challenge.
This game needs AI battles
So I can see their full potential without fighting "super overpowered" player

Is there a name for playing this without slo-mo. I always thought the intensity was dope without the slo-mo
Don't know if there's a name for it, but it's how I prefer to play FEAR. Extreme difficulty, no slow-mo.
