Alma Wade is back and she's eating for two: The F.E.A.R team are desperately trying to destroy her once and for all before she gives birth to something all kinds of terrible.

Coding for the title has been taken on by Day 1 Studios - in conjunction with previous F.E.A.R developer Monolith.

The studio has implemented a new Generative Scare System for the PC, 360 and PS3 game - meaning the timing and placements of enemies will change in each playthrough. Clever stuff.

The game's leading character Point Man and his ghost brother Paxton Fettel return to create both a rich single player and co-op experience, according to the mag.

PC Zone had this to say: "The ways in which each character works alongside the other is undeniably classy. Because Fettel is dead and Point Man still has blood pumping they can each see different things."

"There'll be visions, messages and scares that one character can see that the other will remain blissfully unaware of."

Also read that John Carpenter (of The Thing and Halloween) has been advising on the plot. After FEAR 2, it needed it.

Someone was just talking in another thread about how some games should and shouldn't be co-op ... I'm undecided here. On one hand, having a buddy there could just make the whole thing less frightening (horror is usually more scary when you're on your own in the dark, after all), but then if it's done really well, they could have some truly fantastic moments in there. Imagine, your partner is running ahead of you, and suddenly only you can see Alma rearing up behind him, you start shooting for dear life and the other guy is like "OMG WTF IS HAPPENING?!?" and starts shooting and looking round manically. I would love that.

How are they going to handle slo-mo in co-op though?
 
hmmm co-op eh? each character "sees" the world differently? and a dynamic scare system?

sounds promising.
 
I'm sure this will be absolutely and utterly fantastic.

Only interesting aspect. Though I'm sure it's just a gimmicky selling point.
 
so yeah I'm a fan of the FEAR games, and this will be one kickass game. also is this a planned trilogy?? even though they made those crappy expansion packs
 
Not being developed by Monolith, but rather the team responsible for the console ports of the original game and it's expansions. Not filled with high expectations.
 
It certainly couldn't be any worse than FEAR 2 was...

And what pray tell are Monolith doing that they are apparently to bussy to make this themselves?
 
Its also not everyday you get to see a trailer as ****ing shit as that...

By far one of the worst trailers I have ever seen.
 
Uhm... wasn't that bad, reminds me of early 90's games ad's
 
That trailer was ... so crap. Why was it in the live action in the first place?

What annoys me is that Monolith created Alma by drawing on Japanese influences (Ringu, obviously) ... and then completely forgot that you're not meant to show the girl's face.

But anyway ... I'll wait til I see a gameplay trailer. When did it become trendy to not release any information about a game until a few months before its release date, anyway?
 
From what I understand the team making this game is the same one resposible for the train wreck that were FEAR 1's expansions.

Did I say it couldn't be worse than FEAR2? With these guys at the helm, it will make the previous game seem like a master piece.

Even the die hard fan boys over at the Project Origin forums are skeptical after seeing this trailer.

I never played F.E.A.R. 2, was it any good?

It was mediocre. The kind of game that you rent for one weekend, and then forget about. This coming from someone that consideres the first FEAR one of his favorite games EVER.
 
I was a bit disappointed with FEAR 2... Hopefully this third one will be better
 
that was a BAD BAD trailer but I do hope that fear 3 can redeem itself from the cesspit of mediociry that was fear 2. At least the idea of co-op with alternate effects does sound interesting.

Plus this is the one time I actually appluad a change in devs >_>
 
I was in the minority that thought F.E.A.R. 2 was heaps better than the original, but this really does have a low budget value title feel to it so far judging from the trailer.

Even though they are responsible for the crappy console port of the original game and have never done anything worthwhile?
 
I didn't like any Monolith game after NOLF2/Tron, so I don't really mind. I can't forget how awful Contract Jack was.
 
Coincidentally I just started playing the first FEAR again. Great game, especially on Extreme Difficulty.

FEAR 2 was okay, certainly made me jump in parts, but the superb gunplay of the first didnt really shine through so I stopped not too long into the game.

Co-op for FEAR 3? Screw that, just thinking about that reminds me of Jericho.
 
I loved the first, although it never really warranted another play through, only in like yearly patterns. Never bothered with the expansions, will have try FEAR 2 and see what the comparisons are but I sincerely doubt it will be as good as the first. The 3rd if that trailer is anything to go by doesn't give me any hope.
 
John Carpenter is involved with making this game. So that's a win win situation.
 
Last game he was involved with didn't end up too good

The Thing isn't a bad game. I don't remember much of it, but I remember it being a very difficult game.
 
The game actually didn't receive any bad reviews at all. The game was average at best. And I don't remember John Carpenter involved with the thing game.
 
He probably approved story related decisions, nothing major.

Watch a good let's play of it.

HACK THE CONSOLES.

it's terrible.
 
no, it isn't. it's a decent third person shooter. what do you expect from a film game, anyway?
 
the worst thing about the thing game was that for some dumb**** reason they started rereleasing the dvd cover of the movie with the game cover.

that doesn't even make any goddamn sense.

The same I expect of any game. Note that that isn't a dig against The Thing, but one shouldn't hold a lower standard for games simply because it might be based off a movie.
 
To be honest, the thing was actually a pretty frightening game for a year 2000 game.

Lol, holy shit, really? Haha, I would have liked to have overheard the conversation about that idea.
