Project Origin Puts F.E.A.R. Back in Title
Warner Brothers announced today they have reacquired the rights to use the F.E.A.R. brand name in their sequel, Project Origin. Now known as F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin, the sequel to the 2005 FPS was originally titled Project Origin, after a dispute over the naming rights with former owner Activision-Blizzard.
FEAR wasn’t one of my favorite shooters. While reviews raved about the advanced AI, I felt the whole bullet-time thing was already overdone. Plus, the environments didn’t vary much between dark office hallways and dark warehouse corridors. F.E.A.R. is probably best known for its shocking pop-up ghouls, but if the weapons and combat are improved in the sequel, this might be a decent run and gun shooter.
F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin comes out February 10, 2009, just in time for Halloween Valentine’s Day.
