Warner Bros have today announced that they will publish F.E.A.R. 3 for the PS3 and Xbox 360 this coming autumn.

In F.E.A.R 3, Alma returns but this time her sons Point Man and Paxton Fettel introduce divergent co-op, giving players distinctly different abilities affecting their own play as well as the experience of their co-op partner. We are told that gamers participate in single player or co-op modes as Point Man, a genetically enhanced super soldier originally introduced in F.E.A.R., or they can play cooperatively as his conniving brother Paxton Fettel, whose incredible telekinetic power has given him life beyond the grave.

“Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment is evolving the F.E.A.R. brand with top horror, co-op and first person shooter combat in F.E.A.R. 3,” said Martin Tremblay, President, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. “Monolith Productions has passed the torch to Day 1 Studios to create a quality, powerful game that stays true to the roots of the F.E.A.R. franchise but takes players to a heightened level of gameplay.”

To further ensure extreme terror in F.E.A.R. 3, legendary horror director John Carpenter (Halloween, Village of the Damned) and critically acclaimed horror comic and script writer Steve Niles (30 Days of Night) have provided consultation to enhance several of the game’s frightening aspects. Steve Niles co-wrote the game script with the development team and John Carpenter provided his expertise in crafting the in-game cinematics.

“After working closely with Monolith, Day 1 is honoured to bring the next iteration of the F.E.A.R. franchise to gamers with key elements of the past games yet providing fresh combat and horror experiences in F.E.A.R. 3,” said Denny Thorley, Founder and President, Day 1 Studios. “Players can look forward to new features such as divergent co-op, an evolved cover system, and more scares in F.E.A.R. 3.”

And all because I just bought F.E.A.R 2 and its expansion to PS3! You should be thankful.

Hopefully they'll learn to write better endings to their games - F.E.A.R. 2's blew goats. Sure was pretty though.

Actually I hated F.E.A.R.2 (on pc) - not the actual game but the fact I couldn't use my 5-button mouse '4' and '5' buttons in the game. I had to instal more 'bloatware' for my mouse just to reassign standard keyboard buttons to those mouse buttons toplay the game

I've still yet to be bothered to play after the first hour of the second game. Seems dated in gameplay feel.

So it's not called F.3.A.R.?

Do it's not called F.3.A.R.?

First 3 Assault Recon probably didn't make sense to them.

First Encounter 4 Recon I hope never happens.

I'm actually not too sure on the naming as PSM3 calls it F.3.A.R

It's F.3.A.R. says the official logo.

And I'm surprised luke_c is even posting about this game as much as he went ape shit over F.E.A.R. 2.

I remember when you finished F.E.A.R. 2, you were pretty frightened. At least, from what you told me.
