First Encounter Assault Recon F. Their purpose: to deal with paranormal threats to national security. As the game starts, the player takes on the role of F. In his first briefing, F. The project, the development of a battalion of telepathically controlled ” Replica ” Super Soldiers , has gone haywire. The Replica battalion’s telepathic commander, an unstable operative named Paxton Fettel, has led them in an uprising. It is now F.

But things start to get complicated when Alma, a little girl in a red dress, shows up and starts annihilating F. It’s now up to the Point Man to find and kill Fettel, but this proves to be a much more difficult task than originally envisioned as Alma begins to harass Point Man for unknown reasons. The player must survive long enough to unravel the secrets of Project Perseus and its parent, Project Origin, while battling the Replica forces, ATC security teams and experiencing increasingly disturbing visions.

It is not a Survival Horror game, however, but a near-future sci-fi action game with strong horror elements. The main element of the gameplay is the slow-motion reflexes feature.

At will, the player can slow down time for about six or so seconds before time returns to normal. In it, you can aim and fire much faster than your enemies can, but your low health means that frontal assaults with this tactic is discouraged. Instead, the game incentivizes Hit-and-Run Tactics , which are facilitated by the Replica’s deceptively intelligent and persistent A.

I, and their abilities to adapt and coordinate with one another on the fly. Couple this with the fact that most of the game’s shootouts take place in cramped, enclosed environments, and you get one deadly game of Cat and Mouse.

Two mostly non-canon expansions, Extraction Point and Perseus Mandate , were released just about one and two years after the original game. The former chronicles the Point Man’s efforts to escape the city following the events of the main game, while the latter concerns a second F. Extraction Point was originally exclusive to PC, but was later ported to Xbox as a bundle with Perseus Mandate , which launched simultaneously on both platforms, as F. The sequel, titled F. Things get worse.

Becket undergoes a brutal surgery and experimentation that leaves him a target for Alma, who hunts him down while he himself tries to evade ATC troops and Replica soldiers in order to destroy Alma for good. The Downloadable Content F. In this DLC, the player controls a Replica called Foxtrot , who goes rogue after an encounter with the ghost of Paxton Fettel, slaughtering his entire squadron while hallucinating that they are dangerous creatures trying to kill him.

The story opens nine months after the events of F. Paxton Fettel appears, and the two stage an escape, with Fettel accompanying his brother back to the warzone that Fairport has become. A Korean-developed free-to-play game, F. Online , was released by Aeria Games in October The game used the F. The game featured both PVP team deathmatch and various other modes , and a 4-player co-op mode taking place immediately after the ending of F.

It was shut down in May due to poor reviews and a lack of support. Community Showcase More. Follow TV Tropes. You need to login to do this. Get Known if you don’t have an account. Now do you know the true meaning of FEAR? It is the way of men to make monsters; and it is the nature of monsters to destroy their makers. Abandoned Hospital : Once the “tutorial level” is done with, Project Origin properly starts off this way. Until it becomes clear it’s not “abandoned” so much as “hastily evacuated” and the guys they’re running from are knocking on the door.

Plus, as a bonus, it gets subverted when it turns out the entire hospital is itself underground with a fake holographic skyline, presumably to fool all the patients into thinking they’re in a normal hospital. The final levels of Extraction Point take place inside a hospital. Much like with Project Origin however, it’s not so much abandoned as it is something else, and in Extraction Point ‘s case it’s an intensely eerie gauntlet of the supernatural, decorated with numerous bodies of Special Forces soldiers and enough blood to make one think the blood bank had a recent withdrawal.

Actionized Sequel : F. You’re constantly notified of how many points you’ve accumulated by completing challenges, which gives the whole thing an arcade-y score attack feel. This had a polarizing effect on both critics and gamers in general: the gun combat was fun, really fun, but the scoring mechanic detracted from the creepy feel for some reviewers.

If an Expansion Pack counts as a sequel, Perseus Mandate qualifies. The game focuses a lot more on firefights with scary setpieces being few and far between. Its new enemies are even closer to upgrades to the Replica than they are new varieties of ghosts.

Advancing Wall of Doom : One multiplayer mode of F. Airvent Passageway : The Point Man frequently has to use these to get past impassable routes, blocked doors, or other obstacles.

They also are one of the most common places to find Reflex and Health boosters. All There in the Manual : The game developers released a great deal of background plot information for the canon game series especially regarding Armacham, the various Projects and Alma , but only in a promotional pre-order booklet for F. An Axe to Grind : One of the weapons used by cultists in F. And Call Him “George”! And I Must Scream : Alma spent most of her life locked inside of a vault underground. Even after death, she had no escape from there until her father made the mistake of letting her out.

Animesque : Surprisingly, the series has much in common with anime. The Mega-Corp , psychic powers, villain origins, and military personnel bring to mind more than a few similarities with anime such as AKIRA and especially Elfen Lied , and when in slow-mo, the combat has a lot in common with the techniques seen in anime, complete with subtle Speed Stripes effects.

Not surprisingly, a few names, weapons, and other ideas behind the series were re-used from Shogo: Mobile Armor Division , an earlier FPS from the same developers that was much more overt in its influence from Humongous Mecha anime and which the second game nods to by dressing a character in a T-shirt advertising a fictional sequel to Shogo. Anti-Frustration Features : Replica Soldiers can shred the player’s health in a few seconds, especially on higher difficulties.

To prevent the player from walking around corners and being killed instantly, forcing extremely careful gameplay or Save Scumming , Replica encounters are usually preceded by loud radio chatter, letting you prepare for the fight, and will rarely happen in narrow corridors or hallways or other areas with little to no cover. They are also usually unaware of the player’s presence, allowing you to move into a better position before engaging.

Armor-Piercing Attack : In the first game, different weapons have different armor penetration values, with the battle rifle, HV Penetrator, and railgun standing out.

In the second game, only the penetrator and sniper rifle have partial armor penetration, while the laser rifle completely bypasses armor. In the third game, the laser has partial armor penetration, while Fettel’s psychic projectiles have full armor penetration.

In fact his psychic blasts are the most powerful attacks in the game against Mechs, and in a Mech fight he’s actually much more effective on his own rather than possessing a body. Artificial Brilliance : The F.

In other words, a relatively simple set of rules intended for a limited set of functions actually provides for more complex behavior than intended.

Specifically, the A. The A. In fact, the A. Artificial Outdoors Display : The hospital in F. Art Shift : The character designs in all three games are noticeably different.

There was a deliberate shift in design between F. Surprisingly, the art design in F. After all the shit Armacham put her through, up to and including forcibly impregnating her and stealing her children, they did indeed “all deserve to die”.

The ending, unfortunately, makes it successful rape. Autosave : All games in the series autosave after reaching a certain place and sometimes before or after a especially hard fight. The first game also has an option to save manually. Awesome, but Impractical : Typically applies to the BFGs , especially when you’re talking about ammo abundance. As such, they generally suffer from Too Awesome to Use. Ax-Crazy : The Cultists in 3. They’re barely even human anymore. Alma Wade is completely bonkers is this regard too.

Every time she appears, she’s barely holding herself back from killing someone and it doesn’t take much for her to go over the edge and fry the meat off those unlucky to be around her. Back Stab : In all the games, shooting an unaware enemy typically results in an instant kill; in the third game, this is literal, through the Point Man’s knife or Fettel’s psychic attacks.

This doesn’t work on the Giant Mooks , though. Badass Normal : Delta Force leader Doug Holiday manages to do just fine against everything the supersoldier Replica battalion throws at him, despite not having the superhuman reflexes of the Pointman.

Alma pretty much curbstomps him, though. The nameless Delta operative from the PS3 exclusive bonus mission also does pretty good until he and his team get liquified by Alma at the end. The Bad Guy Wins : In Project Origin , Aristide accomplishes all of her objectives – using Becket as bait to lure Alma to Still Island and trap the both of them, letting her use that as leverage to try to get her job back – and Alma ends the game pregnant with who is essentially the Anti-Christ.

Bag of Spilling : F. Less justified is that he also loses the benefits of any of the health or reflex boosters he acquired during the original game. Each of the Intervals, if they even start the player off with a gun, always give them the Strader Mk. VII, regardless of what weapons they had beforehand or if they even had it by the end of the Interval to begin with , and their other weapons will normally be removed from the inventory, with one exception where the player also gets a Briggs SMG to start with.

Appropriately, the Point Man is permanently modeled with the Strader in a chest holster. Bare Your Midriff : Lt. Stokes’ uniform.
