Developed by Day 1 Studios, F.E.A.R. is renowned for being one of the greatest first person shooters this side of the millennium. Now making its way to the PlayStation 3, PSU interviewed Geoff Bent Associate Producer at Sierra Entertainment and Chris McCue Senior Engineer at Day One Studios to see what all they have planned for the PlayStation 3 and their experience with the hardware.
PSU: What additional content and graphical enhancements do you plan on including in the PS3 version?
Geoff Bent: For the PS3 version of F.E.A.R. Day One Studios created an exclusive bonus mission that allows the player to see what happened when Delta Force first arrived on the scene at Armacham after Fettel and the Replicas invaded. The level echoes events in the Watchers level in the main campaign and is unlocked by beating that mission in the Campaign play-through.
F.E.A.R. leapt out from behind the TV to scare gamers witless and ruin their underpants in 2005. Amalgamating elements of Hong Kong action films like Hard Boiled with the Japanese terror of The Ring, Monolith hit the nail(gun) on the head. Apart from a large number of grey corridors, it was a tremendous game and one that has had many playthroughs.
Between battling Replica soldiers and keeping in touch with his family, Point Man took some time to off of F.E.A.R. operations to talk about his life behind the scenes. Although Point Man could not provide any real personal information and didn’t seem to have much of a personality, he did give us some tidbits about his likes, dislikes and opinions about his missions. We had to get the best typist in the industry to keep up as the interview went really, really fast.
The Merriam-Webster'a dictionary website defines an achievement as a "successful result brought about by hard work." However, the following achievements could not be classified as either being considered successful or the result of hard work, mostly since these achievements are boring.
Personally, I think most achievements are lame. But for me, nothing is worse than ones that require you to either watch the opening sequence, do the tutorial, or watch the ending credits. I also hate story-based achievements. It's so silly to give an achievement for doing things that have to done in order to advance the storyline. I think the Half-Life 2 achievement is clever. Besides, it's not the points that matter; it's the fact that you did it in the first place. I don't think points should be rewarded for achievements, but maybe that's just me.
Don't forget Quake 2......the full version was a bonus game with Quake 4.You get achievements after every chapter (around 8) with........0 points.
I'd have to say the achievement for watching the credits in Assassins Creed. I just left it running whilst I got something to eat, got back and 50G. Definitely earned that one, that sandwich didn't make itself.
Also any online achievements in general, especially in games with terrible multiplayer.
do we NEED a article like this every 6 week ??
do we really need that ?
"the most easy/lame achievement/trophies "
Seriously
My Beatles Rockband only came with 3 instruments but I have played it with friends and all 4 of tapping and singing along. But who is this guy to tell us how many people should be playing a game to make it fun? Screw that guy.
to burst his bubble, but i hardly think this game is going to have a good reception. 1 for me b/c it looks like another crappy port, and I am never going to buy a port.
I've heard that the graphics were not as good as the 360 version but the graphics were still good. I think the additions of the new maps and a new mission along with a new exclusive weapon would make up for any short comings.
The guy being interviewed seemed positive on the ps3s capabilities and the fact they were working on a changing development platform is amazing, since then Sony has been releasing a lot of middleware that should bring more AAA titles out a lot sooner.
From the things I've heard about this game it still seems to be a great title to pick up, I've been waiting for a more tactical shooter (Rainbow six) but I would be willing to purchase this title to satisfy my First Person Shooter needs.

Hot with exclusive content not found in the x360 version this is a must have.
