I remember that the big issue was around Sierra as they had the name F.E.A.R. and Monolith had the characters. They went into the sequel not being able to use the name F.E.A.R. and thankfully reached and agreement in time to use it at launch but they were looking at continuing the series without the name while Sierra was going to be making new games with the title that were unrelated to the games Monolith were doing.

FEAR was so fun. I even enjoyed three even though it was a clear step-down, the multiplayer mode F*cking RUN! Had the best name and was fun. I would love a Remaster trilogy. This and Resistance are the two last gen games I really would love to see brought to PS4.

Yui_Suzumiya1953d ago

Hell yes .. Condemned 3 while they're at it

GUTZnPAPERCUTZ1953d ago

I wish Monolith made Condemned 3! That series and FEAR were creepy as hell!

AuraAbjure1953d ago

Condemned 1 and 2 were creepy as hell. Loved 'em!

AuraAbjure1953d ago

Fear 1 campaign and multiplayer aka Fear Combat were so fun! Fear combat was really intense and had a great flow after they updated it and made it free for all, and making it so after getting a kill you could take some much needed health by stepping over their corpse. The slow no effect in multiplayer was so empowering and SUPER humiliating when you got taken down anyway by someone was slowed down.

Alma is still the most effective horror villain, the glitchy screens when she was close were awesome

Hungryalpaca1953d ago

FEAR 3 happened. It went from FEAR to a generic shooter.

Gwiz1953d ago

Yeah,the first game released prior to the Call of Duty Boom (let's be honest here it really took off with CoD4)
Fear 2 already had no chance of reaching that crowd with very challenging A.I.

Profchaos1953d ago

Fear 2 was one of the last satisfying fps games that felt like an accomplishment to beat

Gwiz1953d ago

@Profchaos

Well I don't even have an issue with the 2nd game but there was no way it would be similar to the first game.

isarai1953d ago

Just started making weird decisions, FEAR was amazing, FEAR 2 had lessened AI and everyone was fitted with explosive tanks for whatever reason but it was still good, and then there's FEAR 3, or im sorry F3AR

Gwiz1953d ago

The year of the 3,man it's crazy how many third installments released that year. (2011)

Bioshock 1 only has the intro though, would you kindly pick up that radio? :p

Levii_92365d ago

Original FEAR is a goddamn masterpiece

ModsDoBetter365d ago

Was playing Alien: Isolation again a few weeks ago, still holds up and the AI is incredible.

F.E.A.R. was another amazing game, shame the series went downhill with 2 and then fell off entirely with F3AR.

Couldn’t get into Fatal Frame, bought the remaster on PS5 and just…couldn’t.

DeathTouch364d ago

Fatal Frame 2 is an underrated masterpiece.

gold_drake364d ago

omg that game freaked me out haha

Abnor_Mal364d ago

One of my favorite games, would love to see a remake.

gold_drake364d ago

i still think Haunting Ground is one of the best.

You can buy F.E.A.R. and its two expansions for just $1.19 on Fanatical right now, which is an 88% discount compared to its original price.

MadLad425d ago

Easily one of the best shooters ever made. If, for some reason, you're a PC gamer and haven't played it yet, this is a steal.

cthulhucultist425d ago

So true! I finished all 3 and fear extraction point few months ago on steam deck and I had a blast (always wanted to play these games).

Regretfully Perseus Mandate does not load (bought all 5 at discounted price bundle).

The graphics havent aged well (especially in the first 2 and extraction point) but the gameplay is very good and the enemy A.I is impressive for its time.

Horror segments were at times very atmospheric. The story was rather weak at points though.

Wish they remake these at some point

FinalFantasyFanatic425d ago

The A.I really is impressive, you can also get texture pack mods for the games too which help iwth the dated graphics.

EvertonFC425d ago

"Soldier of fortune" was also a great game.

cthulhucultist423d ago

true. It even got a Dreamcast port

Kados425d ago

98% discount over the odd pricing on Steam.

Bioshock still looks fantastic, one of my all time favorites.

Yui_Suzumiya464d ago

Beyond: Two Souls on PS3 can compete with modern day graphics.

SonyStyled464d ago (Edited 464d ago )

Same as Killzone 2 and 3, uncharted 2 and 3, Infamous 2, Heavy Rain, Resistance 3

jasonismoney464d ago

I wish this was entirely true, but you might want to load up Killzone 2 and Resistance 3 again.

SonyStyled464d ago

@jason I watched some gameplay videos of KZ2 and R3 on my full screen. They are on par or succeed graphically to the first person shooters mentioned in the article that also launched on the seventh generation of consoles. Try the same and see what you think

cthulhucultist463d ago

Killzone 3 was super impressive! I could not believe the graphics back then as I was regularly pausing the game to stand in awe looking at the surroundings! Resistance however did not impress me that much. Heavy rain is also another amazing graphically speaking game. It almost felt next gen

Fist4achin464d ago

I always thought the first 3 Gears of War games looked great and still hold up for today.

SonyStyled464d ago

They did for their day. I recently played gears judgement with on the 360 and the draw distance was so blurry. The characters up close look great though

JEECE464d ago

Far Cry 2 was awesome. In addition to having demonstrably better physics and AI than later games in the series, it had a lot of design decisions that, criticized at the time, have since been praised in games like BOTW and Dark Souls.

iNcRiMiNaTi464d ago

It might not be super amazing by today's standard but I thought Mgs3 looked really good

JEECE464d ago

In terms of art style it still holds up.
