F3AR is the stylized name for the upcoming FEAR 3, the sequel to 2009’s FEAR 2: Project Origin. FEAR 3 will be released on May 24, 2011 for Xbox 360, PS3, PC and OnLive in America and in the UK on May 26th. It is being developed by Day 1 Studios (in place of Monolith) and published by Warner Bros. Interactive.
The game has horror legend John Carpenter helping to produce the cinematics as well as narrating the game.
FEAR 3 builds on FEAR 2 while adding cooperative gameplay, an evolved voer system, and an even greater focus on scares. IN addition, palyers will control both brothers Point Man and Paxton Fettel, who were the protagonist and antagonist from the first game and Alma’s sons. While Point Man will control similar to FEAR 2, as Fettel players can assist Point Man by using special abilities such as Telekinesis, Possession, Stun and more.
“F.E.A.R. 3 is a heart-pounding paranormal first person shooter unleashing intense combat, compelling narrative and co-op play that evolves the franchise. Alma returns in F.E.A.R. 3 but this time her sons Point Man and Paxton Fettel are characters available to play in divergent co-op, giving players distinctly different abilities affecting their own play as well as the experience of their co-op partner. Gamers participate in single player or co-op modes as Point Man or as Paxton Fettel, his conniving brother whose incredible telekinetic power has given him life beyond the grave.”
