Name F.E.A.R. sequel and appear in-game

by Justin McElroy on Jun 5th 2007 12:00PM

Due to some fascinating legal chicanery, the sequel to horror shooter F.E.A.R. can't actually be called that. Rather than hire some high falutin creative types, Warner Bros. and Monolith are turning to the hive mind of fandom to help them name the next game. The prize for the top three names? Their likeness in the game and a tour of Monolith. After that, fans will be able to vote on the official name.

Entrants aren't just being forced to set out on their own, they've been provided some helpful naming tips like "Some ideas for the Sequel associations: Frenetic Action, Horror (Asian), Destruction, Apocalypse, Paramilitary, Gore." So, we guess it's time for us to reveal our entry: Calamity Samurai Scare Blast End-time Soldier Entrails. But hey, we've already entered. What are your ideas?

Geurilla Tweaker Asian Teens Rampaging Hell Cometh: An Inconvienent Truth.

P.O.N.T.I.A.C.

...someone's gonna get mad at me for that. Sorry in advance.

S.C.A.R.E.D.
South Carolina's Armed Regiment of Really Energetic Dumbasses.
....What? You could make a game out of that.

I'd play E.E.K.

Spastic Onis Casually Killing People Under Protective Possession Ending Today

And yes, I would totally play S.O.C.K.P.U.P.P.E.T.

Hell, I'd buy the Legendary Edition....

S.T.A.R

Supernatural Tactical Armed Response

Try this!

F.E.A.R. *wait for it* 2!!

Genius, I know!

F.E.A.R 2
APOCALYPSE

F.E.E.R.

First Encounter of Emaciated Remains?
First Encounter Enter Recon?
First Ever Endoplasmic Reticulum?

H.A.L.O
Hyper Advanced Legendary Oracles...

That would totally work...maybe perhaps....

Whoops! Forgot my subtitle!

*ahem!*

F.E.A.R. 2: Still Scared Shitless

There it is!

S.C.A.R.E.D.
shooting clones and energetic demons

A.G.E.S.

Another Goddamn Empty Shooter

F.E.A.R 2
CONTACT

I thought this was a cool idea until I read that people are going to vote on the best name. Sigh. My two pennies worth:

G.H.O.S.T.s
Gung-Ho, Over-the-top, Shock Troops

It says in the naming tips to avoid acronyms.

Anywho, I came up with:

Nightmare: Point of Origin (inreference to Alma's creations as well as Project Origin)

or

Point of Origin: Nightmare

I couldn't decide which would work better for a series, or even just expansions. I thought first that it would be easier to have things like Point of Origin: Vengeance or Point of Origin: Armageddon follow as sequals or expansions, but I went with the first one anyway.

I don't know why.

I hope they make more open levels this time......

I don't get it. Why can't they call it F.E.A.R 2 again?

T.H.I.S G.A.M.E S.U.C.K.S.

The Heads In Said Game Are Made Even Shinier Under the Core Kutaragi Strategy.

Cell processor = teh pwn = teh graphics = teh shiny heads!

F.E.A.R 2 EL CHUPACABRA

@ 19

Cause the part of the company that is making the game got bought, and the part that didn't get bought owns the name of the game...I think that's right...but, what do I know?

Quick! To Dictionary.com!

I submitted E.A.R. F.A.Y.

(F.E.A.R. in pig latin)

C.R.E.E.P.S
Canadian Recon Encounter Eh? Pilsner Squad!

Seems like they need some kind of PR stunt to put some extra attention on the game to make up for the drawback of not having a recognizable sequel name. Just a guess though.

how about
Little Girls in hallways

How about, first game was lame & boring dont bother?

"M.B.P. - Might Be Porn" - It would be the best selling video game ever

How about:

Jonestown : Assault Force

or why can't they just call it FEAR 2 since the original title was technically an acronym. Pure genius. (unless "FEAR" is copyrighted too)

S.E.A.R

Second Encounter Assault Recon

Just don't add another S on the end and you're fine.

More seriously, I submitted Origin Project: Second Encounter.

ROFLALMA

ROFLALMA: Sauce

Overly Mortified Gorillas in Wildly Terrifying Fables!

E.F.W.W.H.

Earth! Fire! Wind! Water! Heart!

A.R.E.U.S.C.A.R.E.D.Y.E.T.

A really enjoyable, universal, shooting, crazy, abnormal, redundant, yeti eating tables.

W.Y.P.C.I.A.C.P.

Figure that one out yourselves

I don't know why I always come back to Unreal. Maybe it's because I never actually played FEAR, just complained about it.

How about W.T.F.T.H.O.J.?

Why the F*** they hatin' on Jersey?

How about I tell you what someone on Kotaku came up with, as I am completely unimaginative.
From Darkedge: A.R.S.E.
Assault Recon: Second Encounter.

What about F.E.A.R. without the dots?
