Cry of Fear

I went to the Half-Life mod section, but it's DEAD AS ****!

Yeah, it's been in development for quite a while, but only recently have we seen how good it looks.

For those of you who don't know, it's a mod being developed by the same people who made Afraid of Monsters.

Here is some screens.

Tell me that looks like goldsrc.

Anyway, I'm REALLY looking forward to this mod, almost as much as BM. What do you think about it?

Looks incredible for GoldSrc, but tbh, I don't know if I'd bother with a GoldSrc mod at this point, no matter how good it looks. BMS is just around the corner, so that's all I care about.

No, I read somewhere that it's done, but they're taking their sweet time in ironing out the bugs. It's very likely to be out this year, anyway.

Also, it's "you're".

I don't know if it's possible with that engine, but the chairs in the first screenshot need shadows, otherwise it looks great!

I'll have to check this out, thanks!

It is possible, but I doubt they will be integrated:

More like gOLDsrc. Jesus Christ, how did they do that on such an old engine.

I love FEAR/The Ring type games, probably my favorite FPS theme.

Cry of Fear looks good, but it is a damn shame that they made this on goldsource instead of source......

Just a waste....

I mean, I am sure I will try it when it is released, but no matter how good it is or looks, it will never be AS good as it could have been on source as compared to goldsrc.

I like how the video mentions that HL is basically a modded Quake 1 engine.

Too many people don't realize how much they owe their gaming experiences to Quake and id software.

They ported the original HL over to source. Maybe you are not finding them because they are porting this over to source...

probably just wishful thinking here

And why not? Are you saying the graphics make the game? It looks damn good and more people will get to play it this way. Heck, I probably wouldn't be able to play it if it was a source game.

I find it interesting that people are still developing for HL. Why not source?

That is an unfortunate view to take, a talented developer could make a mod using Breath of Fire IV's engine right now and it could still end up being rated one of the greatest games of all time by critics as long as the game itself was amazing.

I have never played a game where I said, "this is the best looking game ever, what a fun game."

Nor have I said, "this looks terrible, I played games that looked like this on PS1, this game sucks."

Graphics really don't matter, as I've played old pixely games that were just as immersive and great as any new game.

I've been waiting for this mod forever, can't wait. Afraid of monsters was a pretty good (and scary).

Source is a pain in the to mod for compared to goldsource, thats why they are modding on goldsource. Sure it might be better on source engine, but it would probably add a few years to their development.

Also if it was on source it would look how you'd expect a source game to look, but they took an ancient engine and made it look almost modern which to me is way more interesting.

Obviously it will come out eventually, but people (including myself) have been saying it's right around the corner since 2009. And again in 2010. Now it's 2011, and there's still no release in sight. Not that I'm expecting them to give a release date, but I've decided to stop waiting for the mod for now.
