Modder ‘Rivarez’ has announced that a new AI-enhanced HD Texture Pack will soon come out for the first F.E.A.R. game. Rivarez has used Topaz A.I. Gigapixel neural network in order to upscale and enhance the original textures.
As with most AI-enhanced HD Texture Packs, this one will keep the game’s art style intact. Thus, and since F.E.A.R. features a lot of low-resolution textures, this pack will be ideal for all purists FEAR fans out there.
In order to showcase the visual improvements of his HD Texture Pack, the modder released the following screenshots. As you can clearly see, the new textures look noticeably better than the vanilla ones.
There is currently no ETA on when this HD Texture Pack will come out. Naturally, we’ll be sure to keep you posted.
Enjoy!

Awesome! I’ll have to replay this once the mod is released.
awesome, i just reinstalled f.e.a.r and did the tutorial mission. think i will wait to do a full play through til this comes out
you’ve never played it or are you replaying through it?
replaying. i love f1/f2 f3 is utter trash
The First Fear was great. FEAR 2 was ok. FEAR 3 was mediocre. I had to force myself to finish it so that I could see how things turned out. I still to this day replay the first FEAR every few years.
Almost had a heart attack first time I played FEAR.
Damn good game. The horror made right.
Indeed the horror was just right in the first FEAR. You go long enough playing to feel like your playing a great FPS with really good AI and then BAM! Alma makes an appearance.
I like to play the game late at night with all of the lights turned out and the sound cranked up.
Did it used EAX for sound?
Yes, I think so and so did Doom 3 which was another game that I liked playing with the lights off and the volume cranked up. I like the jump scares.
ALMA really scares me though !!
Me too, and using headphones!
You gotta enter the game’s atmosphere.

LOL
Shame the game doesn’t even worth it.
Amazing game. Will replay it with this texture pack. Thanks a lot dude/dudette who did this.
Is that wishful thinking?
Not really, Capcom really did remove it.
This is lovely. They don’t make FPS like this one anymore.
They generally don’t make FPS games almost at all.. Sadly the current-gen’s trend are RPGs.. :/
Yeah, i hope there is a healthy come back of new IP for FPS in this next gen of consoles…but pairing consoles with an FPS still sounds strange to me.
FPSs on console with gyro-aiming would be a perfect fit. Unfortunately, studios don’t like to take the time to code for it. Takes a little getting used to, but the accuracy is only slightly outmatched by M&KB once you get good at it.
Yeah, i’ll stick to m+k myself…i just mention consoles because, as much as i not like them, are the ones that casuals use, and them are the ones that dictate the trends in videogames.
Im tired of the open world third person roaming around games of this generation.
Very spooky too
Free mode?
by the way john, capcom has removed denovu from resident evil 3 remake
One of my all time favorite games.
I disliked your comment because I never endorse piracy and tbh I don’t even know how you’re supposed to pirate a game.
Where did he endorsed piracy?
ask your mom.
Well, it’s quite simple actually… You go on a site, download the game and install it like any other program.
And then you can go fvck yourself along with your hypocrisy.
You lost him on “you go on a site”.
He’s trolling. dagoat has said many times that he pirates almost everything.
Doesn’t matter, I’m trolling too!
=D
That’s what we use this space for, right?!
F.E.A.R. 1
One of the best first-person shooters of all time ! Amen.
Play the game twice but never finished. Each time i play it reach 80% (lose the save from the the first play so i have to play from beginning) but always distracted by other game. Will try for third time and finished it when the texture mods released…lol
its with your pc, I played it many time nothing like that happened, are you on steam ? or pirated ?
What do you mean?about losing save or something else?
Maybe try making a BACKUP of the saves next time you play FEAR. I haven’t lost any of my save games yet though, but I still make a backup from time to time.
Ok,i lost my save years ago when i reinstalling my OS and i forgot to backup.
did you read my mind , i tought the samw!
Why so ? This is one of the most popular FPS. Or maybe you don’t like playing first-person shooters that much ?
Cool ! just play it when u get time…As u already know I’m into old games only, and 90% of my titles are old games.
As u already know Gaming industry is kind of doomed these days, tbh, and it’s hard to find good addictive and original games. TITANFALL 2 was good through, when it comes to new FPS.
Be it RPG, FPS, TPP, or any other genre, game are plagued with micro-transactions, loot, XP progression, leveling up, grinding, SJW and Woke propaganda and other stuff….The list goes on.
post-Titanfall 2 only good FPS worthy of time is Doom Eternal.
Other than that indie-FPS(s). Or lower budget FPS(s).
and check out Trepang2 in Steam, for FEAR fans.
Coz Monolith has forgotten all about FEAR.
AMEN!
Ay! This game is a MASTERPIECE!
sometimes i really hope great franchise like this get rebooted. but more often than not the “reboot” end up ruining the franchise forever due to flop sales.
One of the best AI in games, but it deserves a proper remaster, or even better, a remake that keeps everything on its place.
still looks outdated, sadly. We can only see it in its full glory from a proper remake
I’m happy with the vanilla version …. great game ….. for sure in my top ten ever
Nice. Definitely improved. Will check out upon release.

I was looking for a good excuse to play this marvel again!
Thank you John!
