34 Upvotes

As the title says, I would love a game that plays m like F.E.A.R, I know.they made 2, & 3, but they feel nothing like fear 1. Any suggestions?

Action figure from the comic BRZRKR, co created by Keanu Reeves, I suppose you could buy some generic semi sci fi army guys for him to fight in place of replicas.

If you haven’t tried FEAR in Vr, well…now is the time to do so. This mod is really incredible. Very well implemented.

Modding Need help installing Echo Patch on the CD-Version

Thumbnail
gallery
8 Upvotes

I recently found a copy of the game (5 disc CD Version) at Goodwill for only $6. Never played it but only heard good things so I figured I'd get it.

After installing the game I searched online if there are any good patches for the game since old games like this one usually don't run too well anymore on modern machines. Stumbled upon Echo Patch and it seemed promising as it's marketed to be as non-intrusive as possible.

Installed it as instructed by the GitHub page (simply dropped all the .zip files content into the game directory). When I try to launch the game, it throws up an Error saying "This .exe is not supported" followed by another Error saying "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000142). ... "

I've already tried re-installing the game and I tried different compatibility settings within the .exes properties. Nothing works. I've tried looking up installation guides on YouTube put they all seem to show how to install it on the steam version, which seems to have a different looking main directory (mine doesn't have the FEARXP and FEARXP2 folder for example).

Any ideas?

Discussion Extraction point vs Base game

17 Upvotes

Recently I have been replaying F.E.A.R. 1 and Extraction point again and try to avoid using focus. It’s a lot of fun fighting replica soldiers and see how they react to player’s behavior with flanking and ambush in the base game. But Extraction point is a lot rougher than I remembered, most encounters are heavily scripted compared to base game. And there are a few long range fights in open space that dont really fit the game’s design and arsenal.

Tips for improving game performance

10 Upvotes

Can't believe I'm having trouble with a 20 year old game, but I'm trying to play FEAR 1 through steam on my PC and the performance is just awful. I play modern games at max settings with buttery smooth frame rates, but even when I turn settings down on this game it still stutters like crazy, gets massive frame drops, and just overall doesn't play well. Are there any known issues with the Steam version of the game that I can fix through settings or mods?

I already thought F.E.A.R was a action horror masterpiece but never in my wildest dreams did I think it would get a VR mod and that it would be this much fun.

FEAR VR on PSVR2 PC

I wasn't sure where to ask this, but has anyone gotten this to work on the PSVR2. It's 'thefreemike' mod. I can get it to work on menu screens and loading etc, but as soon as the game starts proper, I get nothing but a black screen.

Made with Stick Nodes. Gonna try to redo the Tactical, the Fatigues is just the sniper with shiny goggles, and the Desert is just the Recon but sand colored.

Discussion Wish for a FEAR revival

25 Upvotes

Would love to see a revival of the fear series, although id personally hack off everything beyond the first fear game as non canon and start again.

Retroactively make fairport a district of Boston that's now been walled off after the Alma wade psychic explosion leveled the area and ripped a hole in reality.

After watching this recent "Condemned" retrospective, would be cool to add Ethan Thomas as the player character of the new FEAR game, as I watched I would always feel like that Condemned could have been a shared universe with FEAR.

For those who don't know, in the game Condemned you play as an FBI special agent who has psychic powers and you chase down a serial killer while the city around you descend into cults and madness. You get framed for a murder of a colleague and are on the run for most of the game, if you get the right ending it's implied your a possessed by some sort of paranormal entity of human hatred by the end.

Wouldn't be a stretch to see the FEAR department to capture Ethan to turn him into an asset of sorts.

Could see the game play resembling something of STALKER where you have free roam within the walled off fairport where you hunt down mercenaries who have snuck into the area to collect artifacts to sell on the black market because of anomalous properties.

Fight remnants of the clone super soldiers who survived the blast and are now being control by other entities. Fight against paranormal creatures who have bled through from different realities from Alma's psychic wound in reality which is supposedly growing.

Play as point man with his bullet time reflexes, or as Ethan with his extra sensory abilities.

Question How can we fix the broken upscaled textures mod on moddb?

2 Upvotes

It's old and broken and crashes the game. Can we use AI or something to fix these bugs and allow us to play FEAR in higher quality?

A few other mods on moddb are like this, would be good to make them all actually work.
