Beren 08-02-2005, 06:20 PM With the up coming release of one of the years most anticipated games, <a href="http://whatisfear.com">F.E.A.R</a>, I thought it was time for a poll; but a poll with a twist. As it is a <a href="http://www.vugames.com/">Vivendi</a> release I doubt there will be many people who would expect the games release to go all that smoothly for the consumer.
Vivendi have worked tirelessly in recent years to try and release games as buggy or problematic as possible and with as little or no support at all. Few companies can really compete with their pedigree, although E.A are trying to catch up with the BF2 server browser and a client and server that leaks more than a woman whose water just broke on her quintuplets.
So the poll is “<i>What will be wrong with F.E.A.R?</i>”. Be sure to get your answers in as the Demo will be out this coming Friday when the poll will close. The demo could possibly show us what the problem will be, to then only have it be ignored and not patched for the next 6-7 months.
buize 08-02-2005, 06:28 PM shit netcode for the win
Hologram 08-02-2005, 07:56 PM Yeah, gonna be the netcode.
NeutralX2 08-02-2005, 08:13 PM The netcode was fine in the beta when I played. Gameplay sucked though.
DeadlyRabbit 08-02-2005, 08:53 PM Common, look who is making it, "More than one of the above" is the obvious correct answer.
SephirothCat 08-02-2005, 10:04 PM Common on, look who is making it, "More than one of the above" is the obvious correct answer.

pyrot3chnic 08-02-2005, 10:33 PM I think it'll be fine.. it'll just require better pc specs than most people have atm.
ThrillKillKulT 08-02-2005, 10:34 PM i will never buy another VUG game. I hate them for ruining tribes.
KnightMare 08-02-2005, 10:44 PM will run like shit
Hilikus 08-02-2005, 10:49 PM review of it said netcode was better than any current fps's
I'm not worrying about the netcode so much, in the past the Lithtech engine, which I assume Monolith is using, has worked fine online.
I am guessing that the game will run poorly on most machines, and that the multiplayer game will be boring and worthless. FEAR just looks like a singleplayer game with multiplayer simply tacked on for extra sales.
It would be like multiplayer deathmatch of System Shock 2 or Deus Ex.
ChowTOdust 08-02-2005, 11:01 PM Game won’t run on a large number of gamers rigs (with decent specs)
The Netcode will blow chunks
Single Player will be repetitive and contrite
Multiplayer game modes will be as fun as having your thumbnail pulled off
oh I do believe
Nutcracker 08-02-2005, 11:43 PM After playing both versions of the beta, I think more of the above is the best choice :)
Feannag 08-02-2005, 11:52 PM I'm banking on shitty netcode.
DonkeyofDoom 08-03-2005, 12:26 AM fast running + dark levels + instagibbing weapons does not equal fun, multiplayer will be a camping-fest.
pyrot3chnic 08-03-2005, 01:52 AM yea except there's only 2 instagib weapons, one of which is only available if a mapper adds it as a pick-up. The second being the plasmagun(or w/e it was). The rocket launcher is a joke and the melee moves are easily avoidable, although it'd be better if they were not instakill.
Maniac 08-03-2005, 07:22 AM Game won’t run on a large number of gamers rigs (with decent specs)
Game will keep crashing for no reason after 45 min play
Single Player will be repetitive and contrite
Multiplayer game modes will be as fun as having your thumbnail pulled off
Should have made it a multi-pull, kangaroo fucker
WOW, from that front page news article, How bitter are we?
It's the absolute truth, but people unknowledgable probably would think TW members are the most cruel people on earth.
wait...
KGB_ate_myBread 08-03-2005, 01:29 PM It's the absolute truth, but people unknowledgable probably would think TW members are the most cruel people on earth.
wait...
:rofl:
yeah. okay.
NextGen 08-03-2005, 04:56 PM i will never buy another VUG game. I hate them for ruining tribes.
Unless they release a godly AAA title, I agree with you.
