Fear?!

[Nali]

I read the title all wrong.

I thought this said Video Games that Scare me.i thought this was going to be a Doom 4 or FEAR2(not origin) thread.

My disappointment was only matched by my stupidity and inability to properly comprehend the thread title.

I for one dont give damn about Natal....its an awesome idea i wont bash it for that but i just really really dont care.

What? There is only one Fear 2..

Yeah Project Origin...which i dont think is a true sequel to Fear.The Pointman wasnt even in Project Origin.So im waiting for FEAR2 with a continuation of the Pointmans' story.

I always thought the true FEAR2 would have the Pointman get more of his mothers' abilities.I mean Project Origin was more of an expansion than a true sequel.

Project Origin IS Fear 2. Wait for another game all you want, but Fear 2 is already out.



FEAR isn't about "the pointman" (his lack of a real name should give an idea of how unimportant he is in the grand scheme of things). It's about Project Origin. It's about ALL the people involved. And there are a lot more "test subjects" left to explore. The pointman is one of many. I never expected things to stick with him for good. In fact I figured he'd become the new villain, originally.Fear 2 might ignore the pointman, but it continues the story for a LOT of the other characters.

I like your style MOD.

On Topic.

I think they should have kept Project Origin....just Project Origin, a spin off sequel to FEAR, then developed Fear 2 later properly. I know what im asking might be far fetched and just a fans impossible wants.But Pointy went through hell then suddenly in the second game we dont even get a mention of him?

None of the events of the first game seem to matter in the second, which is why i feel its just a spin off."cept the massive explosion of course"

The second game has Alma suddenly not care about Pointy and want this new guy.....considering 2 starts before 1 ends, shouldnt alma still have a longing for her son?The phone call at the end of FEAR made me think for sure that Pointy was gonna side with alma eventually and get revenge on everyone.

I do like your idea of having Pointy as a villain in the new game, but i always though we would play him still. Considering Alma has good reason to be pissed, id gladly be on her side for FEAR2.

I like Project Origin as a stand alone game, but as a sequel it failed horribly in my book.It didnt add to anything FEAR established, not the story not gameplay.

Im still waiting for FEAR2.The pointman survived the crash and should still be looking for his teammates and a way out.Alma should still be pissed at Genevieve Aristide and during the second game we should at some point actually execute Aristide like we did Paxton in the first game.

Then Alma and Pointy can live happily ever after.

Interesting idea still playing Pointy even if he becomes the villain. There's actually an expansion for Fear2 that has you playing a replica soldier. With the sides the way they are, gameplay could definitely work either way.

I would really like to see the helicopter crash tied up. I know the old expansion supposedly covered that but those have been thrown out-story-wise.

Yeah Lith completely ignored Extraction Point and Perseus Mandate. I didnt mind because when i first heard of Liths developement, the game was just Project Origin....not FEAR2.So i didnt care that they had a new protagonist....who by the way is most generic protagonist ive played this year. Because the game was a spiritual successor and basically a spinoff title

But then after WB got the rights to the name FEAR they changed Project Origin to FEAR2: Project Origin, its not much of a differecne but it implies this is the true sequel....which i feel it is not.

I honestly believe even lith dont feel this is a true sequel, when they started development they didnt have the rights to the name FEAR, so they probably tried to semi distance themselves from the original game by making this a spinoff which only just links to FEAR.But when they got the rights back, WB probably forced the name FEAR onto the game for extra sales.

I try to imagine what the game would have been like if Lith had the rights to the name from the beginning.
