Hrm, just finished it in about 8 hours of playing...

wasn't really that impressed to be honest... i mean, it had some cool features and gameplay etc... the graphics were a fairly big let-down though, and it was VERY system-hungry.... (for little returns)

anyone else played it?

what'd u think?

Edit: if you get the bonus edition, watch the little clips that are also on the CD... one of them is pretty freaky (shows the shrinks interviewing Alma) and the other one had me in stitches for about 20 minutes! LOL

Never really got into FEAR

I've been playin Condemed Criminal Origin's which is built on the FEAR Engine.

Now that is damn scarey!

I found the graphics to be pretty damn good too!

yeah.. i finished it a couple of months ago.. Big big gameplay hole in the middle, and then the last 30 mins was pretty good. So it wasn't terrible, but quite overrated.

I think a lot of the reviews of it, didn't really sit down and play the whole game. It was one of those games where it looked really impressive for the first hour or so, and then it was just more of the same for hours and hours after that.

Prey is the shit.. play that. FEAR was ok I thought, but when I've started playing Prey, it destroys FEAR in every way for a scary action game.

I have had this game for a fair while now but only just finished it the other day after a long break from it. I think it is one of the best FPS i have ever played. The AI is second to none the graphic were great especially at 1920x1200, the story was good and quiet scary in parts. There is no game that comes close to the gameplay of FEAR and i cant praise the AI enough no other FPS is close to the level of FEAR AI, Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter on the 360 is the only one they may come near. I cant wait for the next one to come out.

I have only just got Prey and will start playing it soon, the demo was awesome some great new features not seen before but i have heard it is quite a short game.

Hey guys, I picked up this game last week, really loving it so far.

Very impressed with it, the AI is great

Havn't really played an FPS since HL2, its true about it being a system hog, i have to run FEAR with low texture details, my old geforce 4 cant handle it.

How did you guys get PREY, I didnt see see it on the shelves last week?

Exactly the reason I uninstalled it after playing it for 30 mins twice. Sh#thouse.

HL2 is the best graphic engine so far, amazing HD resolutions of 1920 * 1200, & silky smooth FPS.

Doom 3 engine is the next best, nice high res's of 1600 * 1200, & awesome graphics lighting.

When I get the time i'll be giving Prey a crack (based on the doom 3 engine). Look out for Portal too :( anything based on the HL2 engine is a must go.

FEAR is still one of the best FPS i have every played, yes the HL2 engine is better but a game is not all about looks, the AI is better than anything else released and i think will be the best for a long time coming, and the story line was great.

Portal looks like it will be extremely fun i saw a trailer for it the other day.

I have played Prey for an hour or so and it gets quiet boring its to repetitive and just uninteresting, i will probably finish it just to say that i have but i wont be replaying it.

FEAR I thought was a pretty good game. I played in 30 minute to 1hr intervals to make it last longer. The graphics were awesome too, I had them pretty much all cranked high running through my 7800GTX OC'd.

I haven't seen HL2 for myself yet.

HL2 on max everything at 1920 * 1200 px is the sh#t! :teehee:

UT2004 can run 1920 *1200 too, so it's also the sh#t hahahah.

Infact, I've got some HL2 screeny's i took.

I think the quality on these was High, i now run maximum since my comp. upgrade.

Im not a LAN party 1337h4x0r gamer like some people I know. I have other things to do :)

Just installed SWAT4 today, awesome game as well, graphics could be better.

I still think HL2 botched every aspect of graphics except the people faces. The jackets, the walls, the floor, the benches, the computers....they are all craptacular in the graphics department :D

Hahahah too bad Half Life 2 was such a bad game.

It was such a letdown it was unbelievable.

The best FPS of 2004 was without a doubt Chronicles of Riddick on either PC or XBOX.

      Thinking of getting a Q50 300hp and just tuning it instead of getting the Q50 Red or 400R

      By 180 wanabe · Posted

      So next year I am looking at upgrading from my VE SS bomadore ute to something more refined.  I wanted to stick with a V8 but not anything German or Australian, either a coupe or a sedan. So if I wanted anything newish that limited my options to either the Lexus RCF which I quite like. But with the price they demand and a kid on the way a 2 door coupe is probably not going to be the best idea. The next best thing would be the ISF but the newest models are 2014 and commanding over 60k and even the older 2008 models in ok condition starting around 35k is kind of bullshit. So I figured if I could not have the noise I could perhaps make do with easy power. Enter the infinity Q50 or Skyline equivalent. The price difference between the 300 and 400hp models seems a bit crazy. Right now there is 300hp Q50 one on carsales from a dealer with 61km for 27k drive away. If I wanted to get a 400hp Red or 400R car the prices seem to start at 43k From my limited research it seems that the only differences are that the 400r/Red Red runs more boost and a more aggressive tune. There are are turbine speed sensors on the turbos. Has 2 pumps for the water to air intercooler. Runs an engine oil cooler. I'm guessing that the exterior trims might look a little more sporty as well. I had a lazy look for upgrades to bridge the gap on z1motorsports They have kits that upgrade the water to air heat exchanger as well as the coolant pump which should give a non Red/400r better intercooling temps than the stock Red/400r. I added an engine oil cooler with a thermostat as well to try and make things as close as possible. Obviously the ECU is going to need a tickle. Having not done much in the way of research they also sell a ECU flashing tool with pre loaded tunes that are supposed to boost the non Red/400R by 100hp which adds 1k USD to the cost. The total cost of the parts @ the current time including shipping and taxes worked out to be $4350 AUD. Personally I would rather get the car tuned on a dyno which would probably add more cost Assuming the worst that you got a workshop to install the new parts I would guess no more than 5 hours would be required in the worst case @ 5 x $150 per hour = $750 So the total cost could be around $5100 So for easy number 5k + 27K = 32k I guess that would leave some change left over to swap out the open diff and fit a LSD Any thoughts?

      Blow Off Valve Is Causing Car To Stall!

      Right, not sure why I thought it to be a lean spike. It might be fixable with modern card-style hot film MAFs which have some design features to avoid counting reversion flow but I've never tried it myself.

      I'm only going to hassle you for posting links to images. It's against my policy to click links that could be some nasty payload. Sadly, you need to make 9 more posts before you can just stick the images directly in a post, unless @PranK sees this and bends the rule for you.
