PC News | FEAR: First Encounter Assault Recon

It's been nearly a year since talk of a sequel to Monolith's FPS F.E.A.R., but today it's been reaffirmed that a follow-up to the horror-shooter is planned. In a press release from Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment announcing that Monolith CEO Samantha Ryan has also now assumed the role of Senior Vice President, Development & Production at WBIE, it's mentioned that the company's "current production slate" includes "the sequel to F.E.A.R." Developer Monolith is owned by Warner ... » Read More

PC News | FEAR: First Encounter Assault Recon

Vivendi has announced that FEAR Combat - a pack offering every multiplayer option for the supernatural shooter - will be available as a free download on August 17.

FEAR goes co-op?

PC News | FEAR: First Encounter Assault Recon

A new teaser site for explosive horror-cum-shooter game FEAR has tongues wagging over the possibility of a brand new co-op multiplayer feature for the game - a feature that developer Monolith reportedly had planned for the original release of FEAR. The teaser site shows three words that have triggered a wave of fanboy fantasizing: "Combat is coming". Below, a timer ticks down, currently standing at 20 days, 08 hours, 05 minutes and 16 seconds - which wouldn't fit with the October launch of ... » Read More

The FEAR of mod

PC News | FEAR: First Encounter Assault Recon

A software developer kit, or SDK, is now available for those who wish to create their own content for FEAR. With it, players can design their own single or multiplayer levels. Further goodies will follow in 2006 in the shape of new (official) multiplayer maps, game modes and a 'votekick' function for players more annoying than fearsome. The popular anti-cheat program PunkBuster will also be integrated to stop all those shouts of 'haxx0r' and 'n00b lol pwned'. Well, some of them.FEAR is ... » Read More

We've got the FEAR

PC News | FEAR: First Encounter Assault Recon

If there's been a theme at this year's E3 (besides new hardware announcements), it's got to be either zombies or first-person shooters. Falling firmly into the latter category is Monolith Productions' ultra-spooky PC gun-'em-down FEAR - of which you can see the very latest screens on the right. First Encounter Assault Recon (to give the game its full, slightly preposterous, name) sees an unidentified paramilitary force infiltrate an aerospace compound and take hostages - but issue no ... » Read More

FEAR: Multiplayer mode revealed

PC News | FEAR: First Encounter Assault Recon

Monolith have a tradition of doing things differently. First they gave us the chance to scamper across ceilings as an otherworldly assassin in Aliens vs Predator 2, then to camp it up in No One Lives Forever before resurrecting the legendary light cycle races in Tron 2.0. But, despite making these three inventive and original first-person shooters, it is FEAR that looks like being their most intriguing game yet.It stars a genetically-enhanced and all-round butch bunch of soldiers, known as ... » Read More

FEAR (First Encounter Assault and Recon, in case you were wondering) is based around an "unidentified paramilitary force infiltrating a multi-billion dollar aerospace compound" in order to fend off some mysterious ... » Read More
