Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment announced F.E.A.R. 3, the third entry in the first-person shooter horror franchise. F.E.A.R. 3, developed by Day 1 Studios, will once again follow the horribly twisted Alma and her ill-fated sons. Although IGN knew that co-op would be introduced this time around, exact details were scarce -- until now. The latest issue of Game Informer illuminates a number of gameplay mechanics and plot points that were previously unknown. And from the sound of things, F.E.A.R. 3 will have a mix of action and suspense that fans of the series have come to expect.
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?
