Warner Bros announces FEAR 3

Warner Bros. has announced FEAR 3, revealing the official name as 'F3AR'. Which sounds stupid.

Warner Bros. Interactive has revealed via a Spanish games magazine (hosted on NeoGaf) that it is working on a sequel to Monolith's scary slow-mo shooter series, FEAR.

Images from the magazine include pictures a pregnant Alma, the evil lady psychic from the first two games, flanked by two unknown characters - one apparently a reanimated corpse, the other an angry man with a mullet.

FEAR was first released back in 2005 and the name technically has dots in it - F.E.A.R is supposed to be an acronym for First Encounter Assault and Recon. It was a silly idea back then and Warner has apparently embraced the idea for the third game in the series, going with the official title 'F3AR'.

That'd be 'First 3 Assaults and Recon', then? Doesn't matter, we're just going to call it FEAR 3 anyway in an attempt to discourage silly acronyms in computer games. We're not willing to end up with another S.T.A.L.K.E.R any time soon.

There are no details released about the game just yet, but expect to see FEAR 3 feature lots of dark corridors and gorgeous slow motion gun fights, just like the previous games in the series.

Lol I definately agree that calling the game F.3.A.R is stupid. It sounds to me as if they (warner) are just trying to cash in by giving the game a 'trendy, hip' name!
Liked the 2nd game especially the slo-mo, but it did get very repetitive after a while.
Hopefully this 3rd installment will make up for the name and prove me wrong!
I do have to admit i am biased in my opinion as i am anti warner bros!
Hehe notice my pedantic lack of a capital W in the name warner! Thats told them!!
