GameXtract writes "Recently Kotaku's writer Mike Fahey received a creepy letter in his mailbox contained a message, and a DVD. The DVD featured an amateur yet mysterious overweight man talking through a digital voice changer about the case above. The instruction were along the lines of to go fetch the case seen above from a storage unit, and to await for the next clue on the December the 5th that will unlock the three digit combination that currently keeps the case shut.
Until now Mike Fahey is reported to have been the only one with the case. The ended today when Youtube celebrity PhillyD more commonly known as SxePhil released a video titled F.E.A.R. 2 Case! ¡?? puno? ???? (SECRET). The video reveals that he too has received the viral marketing bait from the creepy overweight guy, along with the case. In the end we will still have to wait till December 5th to see what's hidden in the case. Dum Dum Dummm…"
Video after the jump!
Inspired by the J-Horror craze going on at the time, Monolith’s F.E.A.R. was a solid action fest of a shooter that entertained as much as it terrified. Bloody Disgusting goes back to see Alma ten years on from the launch of the sequel.
This game honestly killed all my interest in the franchise, I loved 1 and its expansions (even though they're technically non-canon now) but the sequel was such a let down.
First-Person Shooters are a dime a dozen nowadays and it’s a struggle to really find one that stands out and separates itself from the genre. This can be a double-edged sword, as a FPS that brings something new to the table can often unintentionally have that new thing staying at the table forever. But what if that game managed to capture a concept so well that not even its successors could manage to tap into its perfect blend of creative design? Let’s say they decided to mix genres: ones that had been mixed before, but managed to do something that hadn’t been done before. Could it be possible that a studio managed to make a sort of lightning in a bottle for FPS’s, something so good that there may not be anything quite like it for over a decade after it came out? Well, that DID happen, and that game’s name was F.E.A.R. First Encounter Assault Recon.
its been almost exactly 4 years since F.3.A.R. its a great series that needs a comeback.
The first one still holds up well to this day. Hope to see another one on current gen ;)
Hardcore Gamer: GOG has made its name as the place to go for DRM-free gaming. Now, the company has added a number of games from the Warner Bros. Interactive library to its lineup of available games.
Haha. Alright, then. Pumped to see what it is. I'm lookin forward to F.E.A.R 2, so bring it on.
But, damn, if I was one of the guys that got that, I'd be super pissed. Cause, I wouldn't be able to open it.. I'd prolly break that bastard open. Ha.
at the very least it is a cool marketing idea
I cant wait for FEAR 2, its going to be awesome :D
It's called C4, that'll open the baby right up...
if some overweight (or any) guy gave me a brief case with a DVD telling me on Dec. 5th that I'd get a code to open it I'd throw that damn thing in the ocean.
All kidding aside, it'll probably be something cool. I guess we'll find out.
