First Encounter Assault Recon

F.E.A.R. Platinum, an award winning FPS horror, is available now for Windows, DRM-free on GOG.com with a 50% launch discount!

F.E.A.R. Platinum, is simultaneously described as one of the best designed first person shooters ever, and one of the eeriest horror games around. That's quite the combo. The FPS elements in F.E.A.R. Platinum remain exemplary even to this day, with A.I. that's willing to mercilessly out-flank and outmaneuver you, making each and every encounter an intense fight of who can turn the tables on whom. But combat is just half of this story, the second half is atmosphere - thick enough that you can slice it with a knife. This is a game of anticipation and fear of the unknown. It's downtime between combat encounters that will really get your heart pounding. As you wander the disconcertingly empty office halls and basements… something peculiar follows.

The Platinum package includes the base game, as well as the Extraction Point and Perseus Mandate expansions.

Become a highly-trained hunter of the supernatural in F.E.A.R. Platinum, available now, DRM-free, on GOG.com. The 50% launch discount will last for one week, until Thursday, February 19, at 1:59 PM GMT.

<span class="bold">TWITCH STREAM SPECIAL</span>
The one and only TotalBiscuit will be streaming the game live on twitch.tv/gogcom!

Will he be terrified of F.E.A.R. itself? Spend your evening with the cynical brit and soak in his always-unique perspective on Monday, February 16 at 9pm GMT / 4pm EST / 1pm PST.

I always wanted to play this one and I have been in the mood for a shooter. Hmmm.

Do it, you probably won't be disappointed. ;)

Depends on his expectations. ;p
If you're expecting my little pony you probably won't be satisfied. :P
Finally!!

I guess it is a good time to re-watch this: P.A.N.I.C.S
It's easy game even on hardest difficulty if you learn map layout and pathfinding of enemies, SloMo makes things even more easier and you don't need use leaning from corner even once.

h.e.X.e.n.: why only english language. The original Fear is multilanguage........ the lack of language support is an Achilles heel for gog.
Because rights for localizations can be separate from the rest of the content, i.e. it is possible that the localizations are owned by a translation agency (or individual translators or what have you) and that GOG - or the publisher, or whatever the deal is - would have to pay to use those. It can be a pretty expensive matter, and if an accountant says that the increased sales are unlikely to pay off the investment, I can't blame anyone for not going through with it.
I can't tell from either of the trailers (seems ambiguous) - is this a "squad"-based FPS (you control a squad)?
I've been waiting for this for ages. Kinda late, but I might* test it in WINE.

* might = will :D

It's a horror fps. The horror won't bother you much though. It's mostly about killing squads of soldiers. The effect of guns is highly exxagerated. Causing clouds of dust papers flying around etc.
You have a bullet time/slow motion mode that lets you watch your enemies explode into a red cloud. ;)

JKHSawyer: If this release is like Steam than they force you to install both expansions as well, which means the size is a lie and it's actually around 17GB.
But but but 17gb is nothing compair to what we have now like 1tb for 50$ should not be a problem no?

- Is the original FEAR likely to disappoint if I've played 2 and 3?

- If anyone has played them all, in which order would you say is the easiest to most difficult in the series?

- The Witcher 2, Two Worlds 2 and Divinity 2 was too choppy and therefore unplayable on my laptop - is this likely to do the same?

- Why did I just have a coffee at this time of night?
Awesome release GOG! I was really close to buying the F.E.A.R. bundle for Steam last night, I'm really glad I held off on that.

fear 1 had the scary factor at hand compare to the other 2 but 2 imo had the best controls and gun action fear 1 had some odd lag between bullet animation and sound and recoil but it was a really not talk by many or noticed much, But hell for 5$ take that its a great game even with all 2 expansions added :)
