F.E.A.R. Extraction Point Demo
The F.E.A.R. Extraction Point demo is now available for download over at FileShack. The demo is about half a gig so happy downloading and grab a sandwich! The expansion pack demo allows you to check out the new Subway environment, fight against the new Shadow enemy, and blast everything in sight with the minigun weapon.

replyShot demo but good action the new enemy in the blood room was freaky as hell.
On the negative note, i got serious bad FPS i dunno if its cause of bad coding but the demo also lacked thoose effects like shooting holes in walls etc.. yet i got such crap fps in the blood room.-

It's just a case of the devs going a little too crazy with the lighting/props in that area. Not anything like the FPS in the expansion has gotten a lot worse than the original game. On my:
Opteron 165 @ 2.7, X1800GTO @ 681/630, 2gb DDR @ 225 mhz 1T 2.5-3-3-8
And the settings of:
1280x960, medium textures, Volumetric lights off, 2x AA, 4x AF, most everything else on maximum.
I got nice and playable framerates of 35 - 80 except in that "blood room" where my performance also dropped to about 10 - 15 FPS. I'd suggest we tell Sierra that that isn't so great rather than just write the expansion off.
Otherwise this was a rather uninteresting demo, a lot like the original FEAR demo just not as fresh.-
Alright so I revisited the "blood room" issue and found, that oddly enough after I clean out all the enemies if I save & reload framerates go from ~10 FPS to 20 - 35 FPS which makes much more sense. I played around with renaming the exe to FEAR.exe and Cat AI levels but none of that seemed to make a difference.
