Monolith, WBIE bring home F.E.A.R.

That's great news i always take time explaining to my friends that this is F.E.A.R 2.This will make it a lot easier.

this is great news, now I don't have to explain how "Project Origin" is actually "FEAR2" BTW, I really like the line in the trailer : "Fear Alma, again..."

Either way I was going to get this but I am happy for Monolith. This has got to be a great moral boost for some of the best devs in the industry.

That's awesome news. Now Monolith plz bring back NOLF series!!!

It's cool that the devs decided to keep the name "Project Origin" in the game's title, even if it is just sub-title. Considering how the community went to the trouble of naming the game in a contest. :)

woot

woot

finally...

@majorm, you're so right. Loads of gamers don't read the gamepress or look on the kind of sites we do. Many don't even bother having/can't get/afford an internet connection either so how are they gonna know what Project Origin is? I think Monolith are doing the best thing they can under the odd circumstances by keeping the fan chosen name in as the subtitle while sticking the actual name of the franchise on is a no-brainer when it comes to sales. Lets just hope the game keeps F.E.A.R's oppressive atmosphere while giving us better, more varied gameplay and environments-that's the only thing that really matters. It's nice that they now own something that they created, mind, it's only right.

Interesting although they always had the right to the content of the game so having the original name again doesn't really change much about the game itself.

would have bought it either way cause i knew it would be the sequel anyways but having F.E.A.R. in the title makes it more of a bonus to me

i liked the name project origin, but i guess this will grab more sales

I cant wait until FEAR 2

You guys brushing this off as no big deal know nothing about "branding." It's a huge deal. There are probably fans of F.E.A.R. out there that had no clue that this game was the sequel. Many don't pay that much attention. Just having the F.E.A.R. name back on it will add greatly to sales. If it made no difference, Monolith wouldn't have bothered even trying to get the name back. And they certainly wouldn't have immediately stuck it on the game once they did. It may even have had something to do with the delay. They may have known they were going to get the name back and wanted to wait unti they did.

F.E.A.R. is a sweet game!!! Can't wait till Feb. 09!

Big who cares

I'm Glad they regained the name. The very name itself, F.E.A.R. contains it's own connotations. Everyone know it goes to a great thriller Shooter. By regaining the name it carries with it the expectations of F.E.A.R. and the thrill it will be to play it

Who cares what the name is. The game hasn't changed in any way. Although it is kinda cool to have the F.E.A.R acronym back!

very cool, I wasn't liking the Project Origin name too much. I was still going to play it no matter what though, just so I could get goosebumps from running into Alma again, but having the FEAR name back is a good thing.

Warner Bros can change everything with "$"

this doesnt make the game better.

HELL YES! I never liked the name "Project Origin", honestly. I always forgot that it was the second FEAR game. This is great news! FEAR2 FTW! :D

Great news re:F.E.A.R. (exactly as glez13 says) Still not so good re: Brutal Legend - Tim Schaffer and 80s metal - how can it not be awesome?!

Gamespot should've asked about the cannon status of the expansions. Ho! and this are news great to monolith, a developer that somehow I've always thought was out of luck, they had good\great games (nolf2), but only a small monetary success. fear was their groundbreaking title but was opaqued by the name loss. good for them

This great to hear for the Fear franchise. It should have its title and not another name. The game is awesome.

Good, no more crappy games porting the F.E.A.R. name (the two expansions).

mergers made be tough and fire sales go crazy, but this is good news for F.E.A.R. fans

@ generalvonngene They need to bring back Blood as well!

Trooper-I know I can live without the 50 cent game :p Looking forward to F.E.A.R. 2

Why me have to fear that little sissy girl?

Cool, when you're done with F.E.A.R. 2 please work on No One Lives Forever 3!!

Alma is here once again! Freaking things gona happened!

Glad to hear the great news, the original Fear kicked serious ass for the pc. Nothing beats the AI in that game. A must buy for any first person shooter fans.

Its very nice to know that they have got their name back but will this continue the main the story line? Because isnt that too late to work on the story again?

I love the F.E.A.R games:D

Wait does this mean they wont be making the world in conflict expansion, that would definetely be a shame although I think we could all survive without the 50 cent game

i really need to get this game on my pc!!! come on guys please relise this game but make it scary as hell!!! and more Elma stuff!!!

Its good FEAR is going to be continued to be worked on, however it does suck that they dropped Ghostbusters from the publisher line-up. I would have liked to see that.

Good to hear, it was jerk move to just keep the name and not make any games based on it. Glad it made it back to the home team.

justice prevails - shame that the games looks like its gone too far console-alley and has been brutally dumbed down for you stick twiddlers who can't avoid being shot all the time

HEY!!! THEY FORGOT TO BRING BACK THE NOLF LICENSE!!!! REMEMBER NO ONE LIVES FOREVER?? ANYONE??

Sounds great, once again!

It was only a matter of time until the name and the game got back together. Just like Sonny and Cher... huh?

HA! I knew that jackassery wouldn't last long. Those failures finally realized they PHAIL.

I loved the first F.E.A.R., and if this game gets a good rew, then I am getting this one as well:-) I was blown away by the special effekts from the first one, and the story was great! But that being said, I don't se how the name makes any difference at all! I realy dont care about the name... What matters in this game for me is the singleplayer part! And maybe if we arev lucky the multi player will be great too:-)

Congratulations Monolith!

I think you'll see this get moved back at least a month or two.

With Kill Zone 2 coming out in February. I don't think F.E.A.R 2 will do very well on the PS3.

Same creators from the first game? Good, let's hope they take away all the stuff that was too action-oriented and less horror-themed, making it a good successor to the first game. This doesn't mean I don't want those really big robots. I just don't want too many of them, since it'll spoil the F.E.A.R. experience

Good, good!
