Now, they've got a serious release date of March 22, 2011 as well. The blood-soaked sequel with some innovative plans for its co-op play has opted for a launch closer to St. Patrick's Day than Halloween, but WBIE will still be stashing various treats into pre-orderers' boxes when it hits, such as comic books and extra weaponry. Amazon.com will be getting an exclusive 12-page comic, appropriately enough from Niles and artist Stefano Raffaele via DC Comics, according to a press release. The book will contain a prequel story that helps set up the game. Best Buy customers, meanwhile, will receive a special sidearm called The Shredder, which shoots metal rounds laced with nitrates, and GameStop will be offering a weapon called The Hammer that fires hefty .50 caliber rounds. The trailers for the game looks hella creepy so far, even if I can't tell how much of the intensity they show off comes from the actual gameplay or merely the editing that's gone into them. Carpenter and Niles brought us "The Thing" and "30 Days of Night," though, so I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt that a supernatural military/horror shooter siphoning brain power from both of them will have a few scary surprises.[/quote]
Awesome.
What the fuck is up with the picture, something seems terribly wrong.
[QUOTE=HellSoldier;25739522]What the fuck is up with the picture, something seems terribly wrong.[/QUOTE] Lighting is all messed up, doesn't look like anything is dynamically casting light, fire is low resolution and not casting much if any light. Basically it looks like shit, that's why it is bugging you.
First F.E.A.R is better than the 2nd one, at least horror-wise. The 2nd one had a more actiony feel
The dev's said that they changed something but I can't remember what, all I know is it sucks ass.
Yep, they're turning FEAR into an action game. They threw horror down the drain after the first 2 FEAR 1 expansions.
I dont care if it's an action game as long as it's a good action game
What is the point in giving different shops different preorder bonuses?
[QUOTE=DireAvenger;25740042]Yep, they're turning FEAR into an action game. They threw horror down the drain after the first 2 FEAR 1 expansions.[/QUOTE] Yeah because the first FEAR wasn't action packed or anything.
uh why does FEAR 1 look better than this
To be honest it looks shit.
Pre-Order Incentives? Does that mean TF2 hats?
If John Carpenter is on board this has a chance to be great stuff, F.E.A.R seems like his kind of game.
Not buying this game. I bought the first one, I bought the second one, but this third instalment just doesn't interest me. The story and atmosphere are no longer of the level they were in the first game.

[QUOTE=markg06;25744523]I'm sorry did I miss the memo where FEAR wasn't an action game cos it sure as shit wasn't scary.[/QUOTE] Agreed, although there were some parts of Extraction point that was fucking creepy.
I thought it was spelled F3AR
Developers need to stop this preorder bullshit right now.
The Co-Op looks horrible.
frictional games (amnesia, penumbra) should make fear 3 maybe their debut action/horror because damn those guys are good
[QUOTE=kevlar jens;25744295]To be honest it looks shit.[/QUOTE] I think it was jpeg raped....
Fuck off fear i dont want anamorphic lens flares, how about you reintroduce the dynamic lighting that was present in fear 1
I hated so fucking much that FEAR 2 was a console port. Lean made the firefights in FEAR so much better
That looks like a TF2 screenshot.
John Carpenter? fuck man i might actually have had my hope raised for this just now
[QUOTE=Lambeth;25745414]I thought it was spelled F3AR[/QUOTE] Maybe they saw my joke about F.3.A.R sounding like a radio station and got sad
John Carpenter? Michael Myers right? Buying this.
[QUOTE=Alyx Zark;25760146]John Carpenter? Michael Myers right? Buying this.[/QUOTE] and The Thing
I hope this has more horror then Doom3-esque "Boo-behind you"
