STOP talking about FEAR, its pathetic.

[Homuya]

This game has absolutely nothing to do with FEAR except the slow motion, people that compare this or even talk about this are beyond stupid and I feel tricked by those idiots trying to compare everything so desperately just because it shares a single feature (slow-motion)

Its far more casual arcady action and not the tactical sort of gameplay FEAR had. You cant lean, you cant aim, you're super fast and got superpowers instead. Its an entirely different game that has nothing to do with the other in the slightest.

Stop comparing games ffs it has nothing to do with each other.

There's more than just the slow motion that this game parallels with F.E.A.R though. People generally consider F.E.A.R to be a great game, so comparing the two isn't a bad thing, unless you're somehow a massive Trepang2 fanboy, which would be unfortunate because I'm pretty sure the devs must be F.E.A.R enjoyers too.

missing OPs point entirely

OP's point:
"Stupidly obvious F.E.A.R inspired game is nothing like F.E.A.R everybody who compares the two is stupid!"
What is there to do with this ballistically stupid post other than to laugh at it lol

I don't think so, the only point the OP seems to be making is that people compare this game to F.E.A.R purely because of slow motion, when that's not the case at all, lol. Unless he's saying that people genuinely think this game is set in the F.E.A.R universe or something like that, in which case he probably should have made his point a little clearer because from where I'm standing the thread just looks like he's whining that people are comparing X game to Y, which seems to be the case given his last sentence, which I found weird because there's clearly lots of inspiration and parallels with both games beyond mere slow motion lol.

He doesn't even own the game but he's talking about being "tricked" by people comparing this game that has many similarities to F.E.A.R, to F.E.A.R?

Yeah, I guess I don't get it.

I've seen some people say the devs took inspiration from Super Hot, but I can't make that connection at all. Super Hot kinda sucked, and the game was set in slow motion until you moved, which is nothing like this game at all. It's way more similar to F.E.A.R in almost every way.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt though, feel free to explain in detail what the point OP was making was, I'm curious that I'm either reading too much into something or I've overlooked some key point somewhere, lol.

people compare the two because trepang makes constant FEAR callbacks starting from the very first loading screen

I'm sort of a purish myself when it comes to F.E.A.R. and I think that not only this game is a worthy successor to F.E.A.R. 1, but it also does a lot of things that F.E.A.R. 1 doesn't: here we have chapter select, loadout selection before the mission, a fully functional slide, an hostage system, invisibility allows you to regroup, more precise hip fire and it doesn't make you wait too long before getting to the meat of the game (the combat) and tons of replayability thanks to the simular for optional arenas.

Speaking of optional missions however, I don't think that some of them had to be optional at all (e.g. the ghost infested underground bunker)

All in all, the final game ended up being much better than the demo.

I agree. While I found other FEARs enjoyable to various degrees, the original is a masterpiece - if games got Oscars, FEAR deserved one. I just dove into the full 1.0 of Trepang2 and I am blown away by how much more this game is than the demo. The devs really have delivered a triple A game... minus the triple A bureaucracy that usually diminishes such.

Brilliant. A worthy and respectful successor to FEAR.

i wouldnt compare those to games. but i like the simliarity they have, you can see the developer proably liked f.e.a.r. gameplay and that´s how this goodie proably came to be this game. like both, to bad no new f.e.a.r. will come out.. never had a chance to play MP when i was in my teen back then.

From the Devs FAQ:

- Is this a sequel to FEAR? Please add in more features from FEAR!
"It takes some ideas from FEAR (slow motion, smart enemies, big guns, gore) and builds upon them."

Trepang 2 wears it FEAR influence on its sleeve. and there is nothing wrong with this.

There is a difference between "Inspiration" and saying its STRAIGHT up a FEAR CLONE. That's like saying that Tempest RIsing game is a Command and Conquer clone which it isn't. It is just taking inspiration. Inspiration is fine. Me and like many others are tired of the TROLLS saying its the same and it isn't and that is why OP did this thread cause they are the same way. Tired of people saying it is and it is just having Inspiration from it. PERIOD.

EDIT: Plus as OP said. only slow motion is synonymous in both. FEAR is way more tactical and slower paced than this one which makes these games NOT the same.

Why the insecurity over the comparisons? Anyone who has played both games could clearly see the similarities and similar motifs, and the introduction of sliding and sprinting doesn't make those comparisons any less appropriate.

OP said "This game has absolutely nothing to do with FEAR except the slow motion" which is a coping mechanism and denial of reality, not half of whatever you just said. There is no reason to get upset over comparisons when the devs would be totally fine with them.

Bro. I watched the trailer - It's definitly paying an omage to F.E.A.R. And that's absolutely amazing
It can be their own thing and still reminiscent of F.E.A.R.

[Hurykles]

i'll say this... for me it's "fear but with more sh*t"
good enough?

[teb]

Go play FEAR 1 and it’s 2 expansions and then FEAR 2 on the hardest difficulty and tell us it isn’t a tactical game, ♥♥♥♥ is clinical at that level.

No clue about FEAR 2 or 3 cause those were awful so im only speaking for the original ones.

I disagree. FEAR 2 still has one of the most impressive FPS campaigns with a lot of very memorable moments. It's just too bad the mouse acceleration makes it so awkward to control.

Even FEAR 3 has it's merits. The co-op in that game is a lot of fun.

[Nothingisall]

pls dont say FEAR is a tactical game ffs. ive been a fan from start. and the game is supposed to be a RUN and GUN game.
