Fear 3

Day 1 will be taking over for Monolith

Looks like F.E.A.R. is back, as Warner Bros Interactive has announced that Day 1 Studios will be at the helm of the next installment to simply be called F.E.A.R. 3. Previous developer Monolith has transitioned the franchise off to Day 1 Studios going forward, so it looks that we can expect the franchise to continue.

The new F.E.A.R. 3 will get some interesting help in the form of John Carpenter, the film director responsible for popular horror films such as The Thing and Halloween. In addition, comic writer Steve Niles will also be involved. While the total impact of the involvement of these two is a bit unclear at this point, our sources suggest that they will be shaping the horror aspects of the game as well as Niles’s involvement in the development of the script as a co-writer.

The biggest new thing that we can expect from F.E.A.R. 3 is the addition of the new co-op multiplayer modes. New unique abilities are also on tap for both the Point Man and Paxton Fattel. The release date is not yet confirmed, but it is said to be on track for fall of this year. Expect F.E.A.R. 3 for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC platforms when it does arrive.

Fudzilla - Fear 3 confirmed with new developer

Awesome! The Pointman is back along with Paxton Fettel... Happy days!!

He,he oh yessss.....

Aw hell yeah!!! Can't wait to get my hands on this release!! Some sleepless nights shall be had by all who play this game...

Same here Rade, I just cannot wait for this release. Autumn/Fall is looking great what with F3AR, Crysis 2 and Fallout Las Vegas.

The original was soo sweet. Still some of the smartest AI i've played against. Extreme was the only way to play. FEAR 2 was ok, story line made up for what was lacking. I really hope FEAR 3 doesn't suck, as to me, there looks to be a lot of potential for it too suck.

The original FEAR was just the greatest game. IMO

I gotta agree with you there Grub. The original is my all time fav game.. It's got so many things just right.
My only concern with the F3ER is when did they start making it? I mean FEAR 2 was only last year and normally a game will take upwards of three years to bring to market.Perhaps Day 1 was making it alongside Monolith when they were making FEAR 2?
Plus we haven't seen too much actual ingame action, it's all been live action apart from some very quick scenes (with the graphics looking a tad questionable to me) flashed onscreen.
The original FEAR was a groundbreaking game and i know this is hard to repeat but FEAR 2's console style annoyed the **** out me so I hope they go back to the original style.

Perhaps they're just teasing us but i hope they release some more ingame footage soon and like you hope it doesn't stink..

Mmmm i wonder. Glad to find another who appreciates the finer things in life

The only FEAR 2 I have played is the Extraction Point. Will try FEAR 3 when it is out, sooner or later.

I do like Extraction Point even if it's considered non canon. The game has some excellent choke points and the fight through the first set of offices is truely phenominal..

I didn't really like the games that much but the America's Army games weren't too bad.. For what they were at least..

I agree completely that Fear 1 was groundbreaking in many many ways.. Fear 2 was pretty good too but it could have been better.. Let's hope they have learned from their mistakes and F3ar kicks some major a$$! Time will tell....
