I played the demo on Steam and watched GManLives' review. The game is sick, but I'll probably pick it up when there's a price drop. $30 seems steep for what would be a quick, fun romp without a strong story.

 

[simpatico]

You guys are in for a doozy. This game is pure cocaine fueled, action packed amazement. The demo only scratches the surface in terms of enemy types. It does expand on the FEAR enemy roster quite a bit. It's the sequel to FEAR we never got!

 

[Dr.Morris79]

I swear to christ that every game I buy on steam seems to have the console version announced shortly after..

Every. Damn. Time!

True PC exclusives simply aren't that sustainable... as is most console exclusives.

I haven't played this game yet and I don't think I ever will. I haven't even gotten to the original FEAR so playing this I'd be out of my depth.

 

[Beer Baelly]

Bought.

 

[balls of snow]

Noo october too packed for me.

Anything is sustainable depending on budget, but given how consoles are basically x86 PCs now, it doesn't make sense not to considering the high return on investment proposition.

 

[Northeastmonk]

So this is good? I liked FEAR 2 and 3. Is this something I want on PS5 or would a Steam Deck be enough?

 

[Blitzmangoman]

Nice.

You should give the original Fear a go, it's utterly basic as shooters go but great for it, like Painkiller

As for Trepang I erm, installed on my Deck, so yeah.. it's there, being a game. Installed..

I'll get round to it

 

[Punished Miku]

Was already on my wishlist. Will wait for a sale.

 

[Blood Borne]

Very much looking forward to this. I really like FPS such as Black (PS2), FEAR and Wolfenstein, and this seems very much like them.

FEAR 2 and 3 are fine FPS games, but Trepang2 is much more like FEAR1 in aesthetics and gameplay. It's a hell of a time. They don't hide their inspiration, as they completely redid the classic elevator room without even blushing. It's glorious. The weapons are great. The starting pistol is 100% viable for the entire game because headshots do not fuck around. Can't recommend this one enough. Hopefully it jumpstarts the FEAR-like genre. Severed Steel is another underrated gem in the same genre.

 

[TheGreatMusashi]

It just preloaded on my PS5

FEAR and Condemned. Dat's my jam baby.

 

[Salmon Snake]

This game seems like a must-have.
Can't wait to blow people to a misty cloud of blood with a shotgun while rocking Dualsense Edge.

How long is Trepang 2? If this game is as solid as it seems I think 30 euros isn't a bad price.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

I am going to check it. Why people don't like F.E.A.R. 2?? I loved the first and project origin.

Cause they are pussies and the little girl scared them.

 

[Beer Baelly]

Fear 2 was ugly and didn't play as tight.

 

[Drizzlehell]

I played it for a bit recently and wasn't really that impressed. It's like playing F.E.A.R. with its own equivalent of Brutal Doom mod installed, except it has zero pacing, no interesting characters or story, and it's just a non-stop orgy of violence, particle effects, and shaky cams. And the "supernatural" element is far more lame and not scary at all.

It's fine if you enjoy it for sheer spectacle but I don't get why is everyone gushing about this game so much. The only thing it did for me was to give me a headache.

 

[TheGreatMusashi]

It unlocked about an hour ago on PS5.

It’s exactly what I’d hoped it would be. The performance is good, controls are good, an updated FEAR.

Definitely worth $30.

Blowing away dudes hasn’t been this satisfying since maybe Max Payne 3. The sound effects are awesome, crank the volume.

The puff of blood that shoots out as you land a headshot is as pleasurable in this, as it was in FEAR.

But imagine recommending this game to someone in real life.

“Yeah, it’s a really good shooter.”

“What’d you say it’s called again?”

“Trepang2”

 

[xrnzaaas]

It's even getting a retail release, I'm very close to picking it up even though I won't have time for it this week.

 

[Bodom78]

Will pick it up when on sale, got enough to play now. Looking forward to checking it out in the future, love the gore in the trailer.

Yeah, it's €25 at a local game shop I buy my games from. Almost impulse buy for me lol.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

Not a bad game but definitely had my fill after playing the demo on PC a while back. All style and no substance.

 

[simpatico]

FEAR 2 and 3 are good games. Super solid, but they almost feel like a different sub genre compared to the first one. In tone and gameplay. I almost look at them as separate entities.

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

This will be available on PS5 and physical release too??

Only for 25€???,

It's already out at some retailers. The local gaming store I get my games from has it stock for 25€.

 

[xrnzaaas]

I've played the PS5 version yesterday. It's smooth 60fps and the destruction and slomo fights are incredibly satisfying. It gets hard quickly though, I picked hard difficulty (with 3 harder ones still available) and I struggled to win one of the miniboss encounters from level 2. It doesn't help that you get armored enemies very early in the game and you usually have to use a lot of ammo to eliminate them (unless they have easy weak spots).
I also feel like the aim assist is too aggressive, would be nice to have a slider to set how helpful should it be. Worst case I'll just lower the difficulty to normal and keep playing.

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

Great old school shooter. I like It so far.

Strange that there's no aiming down sights.

What's worse is that on the controller L2 is used to throw grenades. I stopped counting how many times I've made that mistake. I also don't like how using the scope is activated using the dpad.

I do LIKE dual wielding though after you unlock it.

 

[Beer Baelly]

Played a bit on Xbox. Dont really like the movement/controls but man the gunplay and sounds are just fucking awesome.

 

[LordCBH]

This game looks AWESOME! Def gonna get it

 

[JusticeForAll]

Never heard of this, but it looks awesome. I'm abroad for work now, but I ordered it on ps5 for when I get home. We have to support these kind of dunne l single player games if we want more of them.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

but man the gunplay and sounds are just fucking awesome.

Not half. All first person shooters should take note, these are the sounds we need!

That sub machine gun?

 

[Beer Baelly]

It somehow reminds me more of Black than FEAR. Didn't like the stupid monster parts. I also find it hard to see enemies sometimes but it's a blast overall. Worth the price.

Did you play it on the Series X or PS5? If so did you encounter any slowdowns? Been meaning to pick this one up perhaps sometime next month so I'd like to know if the experience is solid.

 

[Beer Baelly]

SX, its a really good port. Havent encountered framedips yet. Maybe some minor hickups after loading a level
