F.E.A.R. 2 Reborn DLC priced News

Xbox 360 PC PlayStation 3 News by Robert Purchese

1 September, 2009

Warner Bros. has announced that the Reborn DLC for F.E.A.R. 2 will cost 800 Microsoft Points (£6.80/€9.60) when released on 3rd September for Xbox 360. PC and PS3 versions show-up on the same day, incidentally, and will be priced accordingly.

That's not too pricey, considering that Warner and developer Monolith considered the extra story content so big that they released a demo last week.

On top of all that, Xbox 360 owners will get a free patch adding slow-motion deathmatch on 3rd September.

Reborn opens the story of special soldier Foxtrot 813, who sees the F.E.A.R. story from yet another perspective. But who is he really?

Head over to our F.E.A.R. 2 review to get a better perspective.

£7 for an expansion is good value for money provided it adds more than four hours of gameplay IMO. If this DLC is an hour long then it obviously isn't such good value. Loved F.E.A.R. 2 on the PC, it was very underrated in my eyes, so I'm interested in the DLC.

As F.E.A.R 2 had such a half-arsed final level, maybe we'll get to download a proper one for a small fee at some point too.

Cheeky fuckers, I'll pay £7 quid when they finish off the game properly instead of leaving me there with me cock out waiting for the real ending not that half arsed effort. I wanted to fight the bitch thats been scaring the living shits out of me not give her one, as for that gay final battle with your team mate running around a tree in slowmo brings something to mind WHAT THE & FUCK. I dont think you can call it a cliff hanger, which im all for in TV programs as your know all will be reveal in the next weeks episode but that was the wettest effort ever.

I played the demo of F.E.A.R 2 a while back and liked the atmosphere. A game hasn't scared the shit outta me in ages. Then I read the poor reviews and didn't pick it up. Is it worth getting it on the cheap now? Is the story any good?

True but after the build up and the story leading towards you being the only person that could stop her, sure it was very unexpected but id have prefered to have shot the bitch to death again and then gave her a tea bagging for good measure. Instead of having a warm fuzzy feelin I have when finishing something I just felt cold and cheated.

The game's quite good! If you have a PC then you just buy the game cheap in a store, fire up Steam and add the cd-key to your library. Then you can download away to your heart's content...

I picked it up in HMV for €9.99 (about £7) two weeks ago. I didn't even give a shit that the discs were all scuffed up (thanks to their ingenious policy of leaving the box on the store shelf and keeping the discs/manual in a small plastic bag near the register) - cos I just threw away the discs and activated the cd-key on Steam. The game is now mine for good!

That's one of the best (and worst) things about Steam, as to buy it directly from them costs €49.99 and the end product (the right to download it) is exactly the same.

My PC isn't a gaming rig I'm afraid to say. I have a PS3. I've seen it pre-owned but always over looked it for other games.

Ah! Well then you can ignore everything I said (very little of it was actually about F.E.A.R. 2 tbh) and basically forget picking it up on PS3. At least, according to Digital Foundry, the game is a mess on PS3. Couple that with the (admittedly harsh) 5/10 review here on EG and you get the picture.

Save your pennies for Uncharted 2 instead ;)

Having played the PC version form start to end I would recommend the game to anybody, but are the consoles that far behind? I was at a friends and saw the PS3 version and it looked ok to me, not as nice as the PC but good enough and the story pushed it more than anything for me.

Basically for some of the prices I have seen it going on the consoles it surely is worth it.

As for the ending, I thought it was great the way they gave me the exact opposite from what I had been expecting. It also leaves it open for a third game.

More fun to come I hope.

I rented it for the 360 and I had a lot of fun. The multiplayer seemed a waste of time but the Single Player was great, albeit not very original (but who cares?). It has some spooky moments, which I'm sure will stay with me for a while, and numerous intense firefights. I wouldn't buy it full price but definitely rent it or pick it up cheap!

So how will the PC version be delivered? By Steam I hope, as it's a Steam game... and not Games For Windows Live.

It's around just over 2 hours according to the previews a while back. £7 is fine with me, though the demo was a little on the average side.
