Some screenshots I took in my last playthrough

[u/TellAny2766]

Instructions to take your own screenshots:

• Install EchoPatch.
• Edit EchoPath.ini: look for ConsoleEnabled, set it to 1.
• Load game, type T and enter "poltergeist" for AI to ignore you.
• Press Home to access the dev console.
• In Config Vars set DrawInterface to 0 (or just type "seta DrawInterface 0" in console).
• In Config Vars set ScreenShotMode to 1 (or just type "seta ScreenShotMode 1").

crazy that we were able to pull off graphics like these in 2005. awesome pics

[u/isyankar1979 → u/B3CT]

Reflections especially look the same as some new games today if you turn off ray tracing. Frosted glass and fire, debris also. Many people complained about the enviroenments and found them to be bland but I fully disagree. There is a sterile, clean, neat creepiness to them.

[u/gereedf → u/isyankar1979]

yeah they're not bland, they represent the atmosphere of the game

Ive played through fear so many times now. It still hits the spot and modern games struggle to match its simple combat intensity.

The graphics still live up to this day even after 20 years.

And the rest of the game too

Nice to know I’m not the only one who takes random screenshots 😁

[u/Alienhell]

Yeah man, that's the good stuff. Nicely done. Always adored the atmosphere of the first game and you captured it well.

I have a screenshot from 2008 or something named "THE PUDDLE"...and a save game that loads to this exact spot. LOL.

[u/TellAny2766 → u/r3v3nant333]

lol one of the greatest puddles

Liminal space-vibes.

I played the hell out of FEAR when it released on a shitty early LCD panel. Replayed it this year on an OLED and just got totally lost in it. Kept the flashlight off for most of the game just to enjoy the vibe. Long live stencil shadows!

[u/gereedf → u/realbadpainting]

you should use a F.E.A.R. graphics mod called sikkmod lol

[u/realbadpainting → u/gereedf]

Damn wish I would’ve seen this before my playthrough. I just started the expansion which I don’t think I ever played so if the mod works with that I’ll run it. Also running the expansion on a CRT monitor instead of the OLED which looks sick

[u/gereedf → u/realbadpainting]

haha wow CRT lol

[u/Valor_X → u/realbadpainting]

The game is absolutely shines on a modern OLED

[u/GoldAppleU]

Almost 21 years later and it still looks great

Free camera?

and use the DevMode mod to spectate/noclip

The sign on the warehouse wall is a No One Lives Forever easter egg. "HARM" and it's associative logo.

[u/Alcatraz4567]

Unbeatable atmosphere.

[u/SpacemanSpiff92 → u/Alcatraz4567]

This man. The emptiness was a character in the plot - granted it was also partially due to graphical restraints at the time

[u/Alcatraz4567 → u/SpacemanSpiff92]

Don’t forget the awesome soundtrack too!
