The site is currently light on content, offering just a smattering of developer blog posts (lead engineer Russ P says the game is "coming together nicely") alongside some backstory and information about the game's various weapons. However, it's the included gameplay trailer that proves the most interesting addition to the website, showing an early look at the sorts of nasties Alma Wade has in store -- though most of all we just hope that Project Origin will bring the chills that the first game promised but never delivered.
Project Origin community website launched

Since delivering on expectations at last E3 and being later christened with a new, acronym-deficient title, developer Monolith has been eerily quiet regarding its upcoming horror-themed follow up to 2005's F.E.A.R. Now the company has launched a community website for the game, offering a one-stop buffet if you will for all things F.E.A.R. 2 Project Origin.

I never understood why they can't call it F.E.A.R. 2.
Can somebody explain?

I think basically: Vivendi owns the rights to the name F.E.A.R, Monolith are now owned by Time Warner so they can't use it. Obviously Monolith retained all the rights to scenario and characters etc.

The original F.E.A.R. was one of my favorite shooters. It was perfectly linear, and not terribly innovative, but it was perfectly polished to one of the most solid fps games I've ever played. So I'm psyched for the sequel. Of course nothing matches Half Life 2...

I was about to say something along the lines of "another horror game using little girls?"
But then I found out its a Fear sequel.
Which wasn't terribly original to start with.

I know, I mean, the ratio of horror-games with little girls to sci-fi alien battles is just horrible!

@Sam406
The name "F.E.A.R." is owned by Vivendi games(the original game's publisher), while the characters and plot of the game is the property of Monolith(the original game's developer).
There is a "F.E.A.R. 2" under development as well; however it has nothing at all to do with the original F.E.A.R. except for the same name and publisher.
The real sequel, in terms of plot, will be Project Origin.

Those posts by Leonidas and Bauer were wasted opportunities.
