On an unrelated note, is a game about fighting inebriated pancake robots in Jamaica too much to ask for? Let's make that happen, developers.

Whenever I read a Joystiq article that Ludwig wrote, I immediately recognize it within the first few words. It's so great...

I hate it. Generic Sci-Fi Title.
My entry was the best: Aphasia. Look the word up.

Horrible name;I voted dead echo because it sucked slightly less than the other choices even though they still all sucked. Aphasia does sound pretty cool, but I don't really know if it relates to the game. Never played FEAR.

Aphasia is the loss of the ability to communicate. Think about it for a moment, and how it relates to the story.

It's sad that they had to actually have a contest to come up with a such an unimaginitive name, that the developers couldn't rack their brains enough to produce such mediocrity themselves.

When you hold a vote for a name, you are always going to come up with a generic one. Of course they all kind of sucked to begin with.

Don't really like the name of the new game, but happy there's a sequel. And is it just me or the girl on the cover looks like the one from "The Ring"

I'm sure Sadako had a lot of influence on the girl in FEAR.

Dont really like the new name, but happy there's a sequel. Just to avoid confusion when released it should be named "Fear: Project Origin" So returning fans see then name Fear on it and know it's a sequel.

They can't. They don't own the rights to the name F.E.A.R. anymore, hence the name contest.

Personally, I would've gone with 'Snake Fist!'

Most generic name ever. At least FEAR was unique and memorable.
I don't really get why monolith is bothering to confuse all the gamers with a FEAR sequel that isn't called FEAR. I know about the legal cluster****, but most gamers aren't gonna know, and they are gonna buy the ones with the FEAR name, not the one with the MGSFNE.
(Most Generic Sci Fi Name Ever).
They make awesome games, so they should revive one of their classic franchises. (Shogo!!!).
PS/ Aphasia is indeed a much better name.

If you don't like the name, don't buy the game. Nobody cares. The game will still be a bestseller in 2008. Oh yeah, all the gamers I know expect project origin to be better than FEAR 2 coming out in October.

I have a question... Is "Condemned 2: Bloodshot" coming out on PC?
I'm a huge fan of F.E.A.R and have to say I'm gonna miss the original title, I thought it was a great name for the game. I agree w/ other ppl also, it would probably be best if they put "F.E.A.R: Project Origin" so fans c its the sequel. Can't wait till it comes out though!!
