Game Informer: "At Gamescom, we got to sit down with Steve Niles, the writer of F.E.A.R. 3’s script. Niles has worked in a variety of mediums, penning the comic 30 Days of Night as well as the screenplay for its 2007 film adaptation. He’s also an avid gamer, which made him a seemingly ideal candidate for the F.E.A.R. 3 job.
Here’s what Steve has to say about games, creating scares, and more, in his own words."
DualShockers Writes "F.E.A.R. 3 (or F.3.A.R. if you’re a marketing executive) isn’t a great singleplayer game. It’s fine, competent even, but Day One Studios had an unenviable task in trying to wrap up Monolith’s F.E.A.R. series. With two timelines and two highly different styles of horror attempted in its wake, F.E.A.R. 3, well, it tries its best."
F.E.A.R. 3 wasn't even really a horror game when it came to the campaign. It was a good action game, but lost just about all of its horror roots along the way.
There have plenty of great horror games, but others haven't been so lucky as to stick around. They deserve to get a new lease on life.
That was probably the first time ever that I saw Castlevania in a list of horror games.
ps: Be warned, you have to click a lot to see every game in the list. I stopped after the 4th time.
What is divergent co-op and how could more games benefit from it?
This is one game I can’t wait to play. This is one of the very few games that scared the shit out of me. System Shock and Bioshock had its moments also, but Fear for some odd reason just scared me on a different level.
