hey, guys, Grey is near release and if you want an earlier release date, track it on moddb.
Don't call it "Cry of Fear: Source", seems to me like an attempt to try and use CoF's popularity to get your mod lots of attention and downloads.
Fixed.
It isn't my mod anyway. But it looks like to be a very good mod.
EDIT : damn, can't change the title by editing, aw shit
the maps do actually look pretty cool tbh, they remind me of that Silent Hill mod
Certainly looks good!
I didn't like CoF. It relied to much on jump scares and not on any actual horror.
I'm not entirely sure saying it's CRy Of Fear: Source a good point, CoF relied on cheap "scares", the actual "scary" moments, were not actually scary, at all.
Even the atmosphere wasn't there, and the monsters were.. Too dumb to be afraid of.
Danm, this mod kinda looks fun, especially with the failed reloads...............
I hope its as good as Nightmare House 2.

I can really only recall 2 real jump scares (as in screamer) from CoF. I haven't beat it yet though

While that's true, the game retained an oppressive, lonely, dark atmosphere quite well and very nicely tied together it's main theme into monster design and imagery.
Just going to say this mod's being developed by the same guy as Mistake and Mistake-1, if you enjoyed those this one's worth a look too!

I don't know about that. there were about six real jump-scares through the game, but they all really did make people jump. I guess you've got to ask what counts as a jump-scare; Amnesia had numerous scares similar to the ones in CoF (hell, the enemies were practically programmed to jump the player in both games), but whereas Amnesia was lauded for the atmosphere and tension, people just seem to really dislike the way CoF leads up to things.
I think I can confidently say Cry of Fear had a really good atmosphere, and while the plot was simplistic and - dare I say - shitty, there's actually a lot of symbolism laced in and it can get surprisingly meta at times. also, the unlockable Doctor's Story was incredibly tense.

so you want the first half to be a little scary, and then the second half to be a generic shooter with the lights turned off? good choice....wait no bad
I liked the pacing of Nightmare House 2. Cry of Fear was too boring to me. And it better not be like half the new mods where it's dark rooms with scary sounds playing. That seems to be a new trend.

I don't know, I much prefer an oppressive atmosphere to ZOMG SHOOT TEH ZOMBEES

Told ruMpel (The lead developer of cry of fear) about this threads title and he wasn't too pleased, considering how he despises Grey :v:

Why does he despise Grey?
Also CoF is really fucking good, and Grey looks really good, why must we compare them. I mean they're both great games(well I assume Grey will be)

He thinks Grey is copying cry of fear too much.

ruMpel has always seemed like something of a dick to me to be honest, he seems to get angry over fairly trivial things. I think all the praise for AoM might have gone to his head a bit, brilliant mod though it is.

Painful to read. ruMpel seems like a massive cunt really and I don't approve.

just proves my point really. I can see the similarities, but ruMpel is as paranoid as he is desperate. it's kind of like how Apple makes the most generic-y generic phone ever, then they act surprised when there's a similar product on the market.

I like nightmare house 2, I didn't mind being too short, and loved those parts in which doord dissapeared or you just were into an endless corridor

Here's the criteria for a "clone" in their eyes:
And here's the features of what they have the same as Cry of Fear.
1. New monsters, no reskins & workarounds.
2. 8 new weapons, guns with ironsight.
3. Hardcore Mode woth extra monsters and modified maps. (Like Nightmare Mode perhaps?)
4. Totally new maps, textures & prop models.
5. New Story with 2 Endings. (Cry of Fear has 5 endings. )
6. New GUI, sounds and particle.
So since Grey has custom content and multiple endings, it's a clone? Doesn't make any fucking sense plus it's REALLY broad criteria. I have played CoF and Grey. Rumpel and the rest of the people being idiots on that thread are just paranoid.
Sure, similar PR tricks like a progress bar and donator benefits, but who give a damn whether or not Grey does that or not?
Stig, the guy who voiced Simon, apparently likes it. Good enough for me. I'll play it.

Seems like I wasn't so wrong by calling it "CoF Source" when I see RumpeL's comments XD
Pwned!!
