F.E.A.R. 3 announced
Warner Bros. Interactive has announced F.E.A.R. 3 for PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
For the third game we see the return of Alma returns, but her sons Point Man and Paxton Fettell introduce what the publisher calls "divergent co-op" giving players different gameplay and altering the experience of those they play with.

In the single player game you will take the role of enhanced super soldier Point Man. In co-op mode you can play as Point Man or his telekenetic brother Paxton Fettel.

Acclaimed horror director John Carpenter has been roped in to consult on the game's cinematics. Meanwhile horror comic and script writer Steve Niles helped the development team write the script.

"Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment is evolving the F.E.A.R. brand with top horror, co-op and first person shooter combat in F.E.A.R. 3," said Martin Tremblay, President, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. "Monolith Productions has passed the torch to Day 1 Studios to create a quality, powerful game that stays true to the roots of the F.E.A.R. franchise but takes players to a heightened level of gameplay."

Day 1 Studios is handling coding duties - the developer worked the original console versions of F.E.A.R. alongside Monolith.

"After working closely with Monolith, Day 1 is honoured to bring the next iteration of the F.E.A.R. franchise to gamers with key elements of the past games yet providing fresh combat and horror experiences in F.E.A.R. 3," said Denny Thorley, Founder and President, Day 1 Studios. "Players can look forward to new features such as divergent co-op, an evolved cover system, and more scares in F.E.A.R. 3."

Warner Bros. says the shooter sequel will be released on all three formats in autumn 2010.

I guess we'll see. FEAR 2 was disappointing to a lot of us that loved the original. Hope they give us crouch and lean! And put the fear back into it!

hot d@m coop cant wait for that and go do some killing coop style !!!

I'm all for FEAR3, but DO NOT like the idea of Monolith not doing the GFX. They did the First, and 2nd etc.

FEAR was and still is a stellar Game!! Oh and I'm with Chris, I'd like to see crouching and leaning back and QUICK SAVE!! DAMMIT!!

We shall see, I think becuse it will be a port again, none of what I'd like will happen. I still think the FIRST game was and still is the BEST

FEAR3



Without MONOLITH, hummmm, not liking that But sure, I hope it's done well and look forward to it, I'll wait and see what it's all about before I jump though...

Blue

I hope it's GREAT, but have my doubts....

Other than the review sites, the best place to look for how good this game is would be the Steam Forums. Those guys don't pull any punches.

ya- seen a trailer- this will have sp and co op play kind of like borderlands.. meaning you can play sp and can have a bud join ya at anytime and play through with ya- or go back to playing alone.. but its not like 2 games- you have your same gear etc all the time- but can go sp co op and back again with no problems..

if i read right- you can only co op with 1 other person- they are like your twin or other side of your self- or something like that..

also- seems you have some sort of plasmids or something like bioshock or singularity..

I have still to play fear 2 and the DLC guess i'll have to get that off steam this week so at least I know where the story is at

From what I have read bout it, the story line goes back to FEAR 1 and doesn't follow FEAR 2, with the lead characters.
