yes, a 3rd party developer that has released the prior two iterations of the series on PC, 360 and PS3 is suddenly going to start developing on the PS3 exclusively. if anything, monolith actually has a history of 360 exclusivity, with the first condemned and fear files. however, the ps3 has never received an exclusive title from monolith.

dr. blight, i hereby strip you of your PhD.

Stupid numbers in names is stupid ¬_¬

F3AR FE4R, Left for dead > Left 4 Dead, WIp3out

What next?

At least left 4 dead just replaces a word with the same sounding number.

This replaces a letter with a similar looking number which is annoying because I look at this and think, fthreear?

@JamesH

You mean to tell me the game isn't "Left A Dead"?

Man, what a fool I've been!

Left 4 Dead is a 4 because there are 4 survivors, and of course because it's a homonym for 'for'.

What's up with the two guys on every cover, might we be in for some Co-op Action?

I hope so, I want to see a continuation of the 1st game, not this Beckett bullshit, no side-story crap. The Point Man had his powers due to being the son of Alma and then Beckett just gets it magically through surgery? Lame.

Shame that Activision now owns this franchise, being the new publisher. : (

HUGE SPOILERS IF YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED THE FIRST FEAR GAME

considering the second guy is holding an assault rifle, i wonder if he's "you" from the first game. i say this because of this:
http://gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2010/02/04/rumor-news-f.e.a.r.-3-coming.aspx
that article mentions a tagline that says "When it comes to this family, fear runs deep, but blood runs deeper…”

if the "family" emphasis is any indication, then alma, paxton, and the main character from the first game (did he have a name?) are all probably in this game, since SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS the character you played as was alma's son/paxton's brother. so i wouldn't be surprised if the long haired dude is him. fear 2 never touched on what happened to him, so maybe this one will actually address the question.

I hope neither of those guys on the cover are the player characters. Destructoid said we'll play as The Point Man again, and I liked his blue Balaclava/Sunglasses combo better than that Pierce Brosnan in Robinson Crusoe. But since he's juxtaposed to what can only be Paxton Fettel, i guess that probably his him

i'll gladly take another fear, even with the terrible name and awful cover art. the first game to this day is my favorite shooter. the second was a little disappointing, but i was still happy to continue the saga onward.

The first FEAR is also one of my standout titles, I've only played the demo of the sequel but can tell it will be a massive disappointment for me, very dumbed down compared to the original.

I loved the enemies in FEAR 1, all their screaming, cursing, felt like fighting real human being protagonists. : )

it wasnt really dumbed down at all. They took out leaning and that was pretty much it. Enemies still yelled and swore and flanked and stuff

The sequel is definitely slowed down noticeably from the original. My guess is to accomodate playing an FPS on a console vs. a Pc.

The 1st game was made for the PC and then ported to consoles, whereas the sequel did the exact opposite and did suffer from consolitis.

@ nerdy

you've said yourself that you've never played fear 2, and yet here you are surmising that it was the console release that made it bad. why don't you try familiarizing yourself with something before you let your fanboy tendencies run wild?

has it ever occurred to you that developers are capable of making a bland, uninspired game, regardless of what platform it releases on? because FEAR 2 is actually a great shooter, just as solid as the first, but everything else (the scares, the ambience, etc.) was average, at best.

I played the demo of FEAR 2, which I believe gave me a good taste of the entire game.

Obviously the title is supposed to be pronounced FthreeAR. It's short for First Theencounter Assault Recon.

I'm guessing there's going to be a contest to choose which boxart we like?

How about 'None.'

The box art looks ridiculous but as long as Monolith is behind this, I will be there. I love the F.E.A.R. series and seriously respect 'Lith as a dev.

Wait she raped us in the last game, what's next. Personally, I would rather than continue with character from FEAR 1 but acknowledge the events of FEAR 2 by having her be pregnant and talk to about your unborn sibling (should be a girl as well).

I would also like to see them go back to smart and AI rather than wave after wave of flunkies.

Story wise I would like to get a better sense of what Alma is up to because at this point it seems rather vague. Obviously she is one pissed off, emotionally stunted physic chic but particularly in the first game they keep hinting at some bigger purpose or plan. She already took vengeance on the people that shafted her so what else does she have planned?
