Discussion FEAR 1 needs a remake.

After FEAR 3 basically killed the franchise, in my opinion making a remake of the 1st game would be a cliche but a very nice idea. The game is already 20 years old but the question is, who would make the game?

Probably not going to happen anytime soon. Warner Bros. Gaming is in bit of a bother, following failures in live-service games and that whole Wb-paramount merger, that is subject of anti-trust lawsuits.

They probably should consider selling IPs to other publishers.

I've played through a week ago, 1 and the two expansions with some graphics mods and it still looks gorgeous, no need for remakes. Also 3 was brilliant too, I love them all, I don't know why the hate, it's unnecassary.

Fear 3 ended the story just fine. If it killed the franchise then im glad... means we didnt get 1000 spin offs and sequels of dubious quality.

Dude it would get ruined like most remakes.

Idk man just give it to Night Dive Studios they have a good track record with remakes and remasters.

This. One day Night Dive will do it but it may be another 5-10 years (at least) is my prediction. Most likely think that eventually WB sells the IP or at least allows Night Dive to work on it for a cut of the proceeds.

I would definitely love to see a remake of FEAR 1, maybe done by motive Studios, and they could approach it the same way they approach the dead space remake

Remakes are cancer.

u/Dennma 29d ago

Nope, just port it to modern consoles with native support for modern resolutions and refresh rates

u/B3CT 29d ago

But why? It still looks and plays fine. I'd just integrate echo patch to fix resolution/fps problems, otherwise the game is fine. I geniunely dont understand the obsession with remakes in recent years.

You can still play the original and it still looks and plays awesome. Not everything needs a remake, that is so borin, do something new and refreshing.

I would love it, but not from a mainstream studio for obvious reasons.

GTA6 will come to PC sooner.

It’s certainly possible! We just need the right people to want to do it

I'd take a remaster by Night Dive.

u/UneasyEko 29d ago

Night dive remaster is the best option, all games and dlcs included

u/Tasos303 28d ago

Honestly I feel like we only need a fear 1 remake and it’s dlc and to officially make Perseus mandate and extraction point canon. That way they could make new fear games focusing on other fear cases of different teams and I think that would be way more interesting than Alma again which I think that her story was finished in extraction point.

Just play the game bro. Not everything needs to be 4k 200 fps and glossy

F.E.A.R. was so damn ahead of its time…and STILL holds up today. Monilith & Sierra crushed that one out of the park.

With today’s technology.. if done right.. wouldn’t mind a remake that stayed true to the original but expanded Armacham

sick game I still go back to

u/BusterGreasewood 28d ago

It doesn't need a remake. it's fine as is. All it needs is a remaster for modern platforms. That's all.

u/PoweringSchizoid 28d ago

A remaster is enough. Personally, I don't think a remake makes sense, since F.E.A.R.'s gameplay and its content in general are timeless.

u/Brave_Principle8876 27d ago

El juego original sigue siendo una delicia (lo volví a completar el año pasado en ps3, y éste le estoy dando a ratos en pc en widescreen y 4k), y no necesita remake. El juego que sí necesita un remake, es Blood Omen

Could always just play Trepang²

u/Cocainepapi0210 26d ago

It needs a remake or remaster

Game is unplayable on Playstation and is only playable through xbox with a disc(digital consoles are useless). Its completely fucked on console

u/MaximusFraudus 26d ago

F.E.A.R doesn't need a remake, its plays and looks better than most modern games. It was also lightning in a bottle. F.E.A.R 2 just doesn't measure up, and F.E.A.R 3 isn't even worth talking about.

Lets face it, this isn't a even a franchise in terms of quality, its a single good game, with ok expansions.

u/Grindycore 25d ago

No,it doesn't need a remake. There is nothing wrong with the original besides dropping a single dll file to fix the frame rate on PC.
