F.E.A.R. 3 Pre-E3 Interview: Dan Hay (PC)

I don't like fear 1 and 2. I hope this is better. I made the first two rentals. I hope this one is a buy.

please no more live action trailers

How is this scary?? man im soo F___ed about this man, loved FEAR but get rid of all the cliche acting and UNSCARY crap like mechs and stupid super powers now.. ANyway gahh disappointed

Cmon guys this is terrible, F.E.A.R = FIRST ENCOUNTER ASSAULT RECON, NOT 3rd encounter of something that only worked the first time, BECAUSE IT WAS NEW AND SCARY SHEESH, and now u have coop?? GAWWWD damn lol

serious go coop f*** yourselfs you have taken the last game dollar from me,,,, now that your a wanna be..my god leave MP alone and fire your writers and lets get this game on or trash the sh*t..grrrr

Way to totally F-up one of my favorite franchises. I mean, FEAR 2 was bad enough, but this is just ridiculous, even the graphics, models, and animation are worse. And the way they did the "clever" name it looks like it's pronounced "FTHREEAR"

not a fan of the series, seems like they are following too many trends and not doing ther own thing res evil 5 had CO-op so we must lost planet 2 has mechs so we need em I'm guessing it will have qt events like God of war grudge/ring = fear ghost girl plus using live action and trying to pass it off as gameplay is pretty sleazy

I was hoping more like 2 friends co-operating and surviving together, and it gives a great way to create the horror element by separating the players apart somehow. For example you and your buddy are checking some area and suddenly you realize that you are alone. He just dissapears somehow or creature sweeps from a ventilation shaft and grabs your frined. That kind of gameplay would be something never done before. I recall that there have been games(FEAR1? FEAR2?) where you are with your team, and suddenly something happens to them and you have to continue alone. Then after while you meet up with them again and regroup.(Or some point you see the friend thruought steel bars but can't reach him and still need to continue alone and regroup) this could be done with a real player too.

Okay so we have coop and you "dont trust each other"... so doesnt mean you dont trust him in terms of game play. What the hell is that supposed to mean, really? So we get rewarded for cooporation, how does that promote the supposed lack of trust? Some game makers need some basic schooling or understanding of gaming motivations and thoery.

Hmm scary really I've never been scared by either title its more like fearless and Alma will repeatedly jump out and attack you to the point when she does your already expecting it. I'm sory but Deadspace I think is far more precise in the horror/survival horror genre. Plus who cares about multiplayer I want a blow my mind story and I think co-op might be nice but of course that'll ruin any horror experience and eliminate should I trust felden the evil twin.

i don t give a f.... about multiplayer all i want is a solid horror/survival single player,not a garbage like fear 2 i tell you why they keep doing multiplayer,because can t do anymore a good singleplayer and of course without a MP they can not sell the product

always liked the fear games; but i just think these guys hold a risk of introducing too much and completely reinventing this franchise.

I like the way Dan Hay talks about enemies spawning in different places as if its a truely innovative feature :| This looks a bit ropey at the moment in my opinion

why is evry game going online, co op, multiplayer? we dont have any solid single player games anymore...dont they realise that not all of us can afford online fee's. they have 2 f**k up all the great sigle player games by adding online elements.

fear 1 and 2 were utter pants so cant wait for this medeocure more of the same with some co op tact on a bad game .

yes seems verry intresting not . yawnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

the first 2 were utter pants . medeocure bad game

i've never played FEAR before for more than about a minute and haven't particularly interested enough to play it. However, i'm a lot more drawn to this game, so i guess maybe that's what they're going for with all these changes. The co-op could fail completely, but on the other hand, it could almost work as a different system to the co-op in other games; a lot of people are complaining about the expectation of dumb AI to have to play with, but seeing as the co-op is not built on trust and team activities, maybe this won't be an issue here - it could be more like being in competition with an adversary than in cooperation with a buddy. BUT then there's the mechs... what the hell??

this looks good but im not sure it would be the intended experience if you were playing with a friend, now if you joined a random persons game, someone you don't know and therefore don't trust, it could be pretty sweet

I don't know if coop in FEAR will be all that good, In a game like Halo coop works because both players are helping the other and they both are working toward the same goal. FEAR 3 sounds like a very ambitious game for the wrong reasons...... I'm a sucker for these games....I know I'm going to end up playing it no matter how I feel about the coop aspect......

Scary moment with coop? nonono...I don't think so. When I played 2nd exp of original series and Fear2, my scary feeling has been released. Do you know when was it? It was the moment other chracters in the game start to help me out(I forgot the names), yes it was coop moment. I think the first Fear was the best because I feel alone in the dark and WE want to feel that again in FEAR 3.

lets see how this one plays out. not!!!

sigh this game looks dead allready....... shame since fear1 was great.

Nah, not my type...Survival horror... robots, coops, tactical shooter??!!Don't try to make a game for everyone, or make it, but change the name in Super Mario!

What about those who don't have fast enough internet and don't want to play coop with an AI that is probably going to be a pain in the a** to keep it from dying or running in front of you to kill the enemy while your shooting? This will completely f*ck up the whole series like resident evil 5.

hmmm he has a great imposing voice (not shaun haha)

fear 2 was a huge disappointment, especially for those of us who loved the original. fear 3 looks completely different, which of course is due to an entirely different studio developing it, but despite the fact that this no longer even seems like fear, it still looks like a quality game on its own merits, and i'll inevitably pick it up on day one anyways. besides, doom 3's coop was pretty damn scary so i don't see why they can't do it right here as well.

What are they doing?... It's as if F.E.A.R. was on top of the stairs and it keeps falling down with every expansion and sequel. This looks way worse than the 2nd one.

Much as I like to keep an open mind about new ideas and direction, I just cant help but have a bad feeling about this..Looks like the Devs have 2 different games in mind and are trying to combine them. Plus it looks more like a project for game devs more than something gamers will enjoy. It has EPIC FAIL written all over it. I hope I am wrong though and this somehow works.

@KoRniTo @thatguy2001 @metalkid9 @The_T-Ban Hey game developers, look how many gamers aren't liking the freakin' co-op feature in games nowadays and start to listen to them!! (*screaming like hell*) I though I was the only person in the world starting to HATE co-op mode on "single players" games. If you wanna play/develop a multiplayer, try the common fashion multiplayer option or a MMO (better option), please, stop ruining the single player story immersion experience, it's making the games vague, loose and empty. If I wanna play a single player, I WILL play a single player, stop forcing me to play with someone else, putting a dumb AI on the other companion just to make me find a real one. Nonetheless, if I wanna make friends and enjoy with them, I try a party, not a game.

u know what FEAR is?? its about something we've never seen before, its about feeling alone. This is not Fear. The shooting part is fine, but why the same bullshid story...

This could be very cool. I enjoyed the first two games a lot. Not so sure about the co-op thing.

Co-op.... every little thing is co-op these days.... I'm sick and tired of it.

im also a big FEAR fan, i really enjoyed the 1st one and the 2nd one wasnt bad. could of been better tho. im also not to sure about coop but ill defernetly be giving it ago. wish they had more squad based stuff in fear even tho u wouldnt be alone i think running around watchin ur squad mates disapear one by one can be just as frighting as being alone

When I got my Game Informer magazine and saw the ad for FEAR 3, I literally felt like a kid that opened a gift at Christmas and finally got what he asking for after years of getting clothes as gifts. I have loved the FEAR franchise since the first time I played part 1, and Ive loved it ever since. I even really like the FEAR files games. And for years Ive wondered why theres been nothing new. I thought that since FEAR 2 didnt do so well that there would be no more FEAR games so I gave up. So finding out theres a new one was awesome. Im not too sure about the coop, and Ill most likely be playing this alone. Theres nothing better than turning off all the lights, cranking my headphone volume up, and playing a good scary game. EX: Dead Space, and recently Alan Wake has some awesome scare moments. So if this FEAR can be even half as good as the original Ill be happy. I just hope that they make the game the same quality on all 3 platforms. FEAR 2 was terrible on ps3, and played great on the 360.

@drangle jam *SPOILERS* In the final battle of Fear 2, you see scenes with alma "doing" Becket.

I'd hit it lol

Why is Alma pregnant? Who's the poor soul who fecundated her?

I agree with muffin_monster, in my opinion this is another 7.5 er. :)

Apparently, we now get to see the actual face of the protagonist of the first F.E.A.R. game, if Dan Hay's statement that "one killed the other" is true. Unfortunately, I don't find his face pleasing to look at. Paxton Fettel is one interesting playable character though. I do wonder, though, if being practically a ghostly psychic construct makes him more or less invincible. Sure looks to be this way when guns don't seem to harm this form of his.

Could Shaun be any more unenthusiastic?

I'm sick of almost every game these days being co-op. It ruins the single player experience.

Looking good, im gonna have to keep my eye on this one.

I didn't know they were releasing this on the PS2, isn't that the version being shown here?

Doesn't co-op defeat the purpose of a horror game being you know...a HORROR game!?

Hmm...they really appear to be milking this game for all it's worth. Looks like they are still using that same old ancient engine on this game too....if that is the case I pity the outcome of this game.

i dont know why developers are so much focusing on online play. i personally like single player not co-op on online. single player is always fun, specially in horror genre.

Looks meh...

The co-op looks incredible, I'm sure the game will be awesome without it, but playing it with a friend looks like so much fun. 2 MECH SUIT FTW!

co op horror no good . coop is what i think made RE5 not scary or gory because they dident want little kids freaking out.(dont get me wrong i love RE5 still to this game above the NEW FPS that are out) BUT i always thought that playing as the point man in coop would be outrageously fun to do. espically in the first game just running and gunning with slo mo. this fettel stuff seems odd though i will say.
