Is FEAR "retro" now? Certainly, Underhell (2011) is not, but... it is almost 20 years old.Underhell's first chapter reminds me a lot of FEAR. Atmospheric, explosive action, but a calm pace.I'm not in the mood to replay either, and Trepang2 didn't quite scratch that itch. Too blitzy. Anyone got any recommendations? This is a very specific high I'm chasing here.
>>12525604recs for horror fps?
>>12525613Good game but not specifically looking for horror per say - just that good mix of action and atmosphere. Somewhere above SWAT and below CoD, you know?
>>12525604It's been retro, retard.
>>12525604>it is almost 20 years old.Retro is a time period, not an age.Madonna will never be "classical music" no matter how old it gets, 7th gen will never be "retro" no matter how old it gets. 6th gen doesn't even pass, but we have to endure retard mods allowing it because zoomers never shut up.
>>12525665wrong
>>12525604>2011 is 5 years away from being 20 years old:(
>>12525604What's the definition of retro on this board?Also, I don't know what Underhell is, but just go play F.E.A.R.It still holds up and ran on my modern computer without patching or mods.
>>12525783I need a break from FEAR, need something new and juicy but similar. Also, Underhell is a bit rough, but worth playing. The prologue has great gameplay. And the house is infamous, especially the longer you spend in it...
>>12525665The sticky explicitly mentions ps2, xbox, and gamecube passing btw
>>12525604>Too blitzyWhat does this mean?
>>12525604The cutoff for PC games should be 2004. It's not, but it should be.
>>12525964Too fast paced, not many slow moments in between the action either. The game wants you to go, go, go. No room to breathe. Works well, just looking for something a bit more atmospheric.
Oh my god read the sticky newfags
>>12525978Doom 3 and Quake 4 are really atmospheric and have a very similar visual style to FEAR. I'd recommend Condemned too even though its not a shooter.
Fear is amazing. I just wish it had more diverse environments.
>>12526084Thanks, but I've already cleared those titles. Might be time for me to pick up reading or something...
>>12526086I wish it had a garden/greenhouse level. It would make sense too since the game is set in a research facility.
>>12525621Soldier of Fortune 1
Probably dumb but I think Halo 1-3 were atmospheric as heck and oroginal stalker trilogy though i like soc most.
>>12525604retro here just seems to specifically mean the early video game era aka late 70s to early 00slate 00s seems to be the transisition years between 'retro' and 'modern'FEAR is right on the border so its a fifty fifty
