the fact that if I want to play doom, I'll do it.Hmph. What's bad about using some of Doom 3's sound effects?
And yeah I realize that FEAR isn't that original with the whole creepy little girl and especially slow motion as of course matrix and max payne pretty much did that, but there are enough changes in the first person shoot em up aspect to still make it fun...quake4 however is the same old crap...especially being that it's the fourth game in this series, once you played one quake or UT you've played them all.
And yeah, the ring of course is the first thing everyone things of when seeing a creepy little girl...ring is actually a pretty old movie that originated in japan...believe it's way more popular and known over there though as the ring completely sucked...dumbest movie I ever saw but that's besides the point.
Yeah, that's an understatement by todays standards...no original movies or music these days.Nothing is 100% original...
But it's the way you impliment 'borrowed' features IMO....Tell me a gave that you've played where you can compare FEAR to and say it feels exactly like that game....because I can do that with Quake and Doom.....I even let a friend come over and play that game and he stops about 30 minutes in and says "Yeah....it's basically doom", it's just more light instead of dark areas.
I never said FEAR was completely original, but it's implimentation of old tricks (bullet time) and story (creepy girl) and the way the whole game is put together makes it overall as a package seem more fun and appealing.
Of course you also have to take into consideration, some people are simply die hard quake fans....I'm not....no doubt by the time I'm 50 there'll be a quake 78 and Unreal 63 out...I just hate these repetative mindless games
