The new trailer for Project Origin (aka FEAR 2) is out!
http://www.gametrailers.com/player/25251.html
Graphics look shiny, guns look helluva lot more solid (was that a P90 you were holding near the end?) and there is some kind of new creature tearing your face off.

For anyone who wanted to see what the devs had to reject before they got to Project Origin

Looks like you'll able to kick over any object to provide cover as well. Honestly, that makes everything I've seen about Halo 3 look like a child's toy.
Anyone want to beta read a paranormal mystery novella? Here's your chance.

It was a bed. It was not going to offer him much cover when it was standing up.:P
Well if you want to go that route it isn't going to offer much cover regardless.

Well... no, it wouldn't.
Maybe he just likes kicking things over.
It can be an effective way to communicate to your foes that "it" is now "on". And that they may have a sexual preference towards mothers.

Like...real bad, so bad I might be ignoring TF2 the next few days.
Seriously. If I wanted to stop a bullet, I'd do it with my chest. The only reason I'll be kicking over gurneys is to look awesome.
If it was JUST to look awesome then I would really go for it. Looking awesome is a big part of gaming for me. And feeling awesome. Oh, what do I care, I'm never going to play the game. It's just too slow.

Really it looks pretty much exactly like FEAR, only with higher res graphics. I don't mind that too much though. FEAR got ballistic combat down really well, and is probably the only game I would consider to have awesome ragdoll physics. It's always been satisfying in that game to pull around a corner and blast them with a shotgun, watching them flying backwards, hitting the wall and collapsing in a heap.
I just really hope they give us more varied environments than the first game. Offices and hospitals are OK but we really need some variety this time around.
I'll go away now

watch out for that trip miBDOOP *FWOOOOSH*
*limbs*
I loved trip mines. Always used to use them to cover my flank / rear when advancing on the enemy, then you'd here the telltale
*Whoosh* *BOOOM*
"POOP!" (paraphrasing).
Also fun is setting up a remote bomb somewhere and getting them to check out the area (shoot or use the flashlight).
Best bit was the fact that you could deactivate them and pick them back up again if you never ended up using them
Ambushes were fun.
The whole F.E.A.R. situation confuses me, if anybody in the know could explain it to me I would appreciate it.
Basically Monolith owns everything to do with FEAR (characters, story etc.) except for the actual name. The name belongs to the publisher Vivendi. So Vivendi are having some other studio (Timegate? Day 1?) make a game called F.E.A.R. 2, only it's not going to have anything to do with the characters or plot of the original IIRC.
Monolith developed the original FEAR but Vivendi own the rights to the name FEAR. Monolith decided to call the sequel by a different name while having it remain a follow up to the original. Expansions and ports were made of FEAR by other developers.
Ok, so Project Origin is connected to F.E.A.R. story-wise (prequel?) and can have the same characters and such.
F.E.A.R. 2 has nothing to do with F.E.A.R. as far as story is concerned, and is made by a different dev.
The two expansions for F.E.A.R. (Extraction Point and Perseus Mandate) were made by Timegatem, and are concidered to be non-canon for F.E.A.R. (and so I assume Project Origin)
Are Extraction Point and Perseus Mandate going to be canon with F.E.A.R. 2? or do we not know
Basically I have not played F.E.A.R., but my housemate is lending it to me shortly, and I want to know the score before I get invested in it.
"Extreme" Difficulty FTW. Or easy if you just want to run up to people and Kung Fu them all game long. Difficulty level doesn't affect the AI, just how much damage they deal, how accurate they are and how much health they have. Health doesn't expand much, but accuracy does a LOT, and weapon damage becomes or surpasses your own.
Having played the Addon Pack, I did honestly feel that had some better ballistic action in it than the original, but YMMV. The plot was a bit weird though, and didn't really focus on anything.
With regards to the game itself, did anyone else
So basically this is another System Shock/Bioshock situation? Peachy.
Well, I know whose side I'm on.
(Monolith's.)
There was a second expansion? I still haven't finished Extraction Point.
And it's not made by the same team as F.E.A.R.? Feels like it...
AERIS DIES AND KING KONG FALLS FROM THE TOP OF THE EMPIRE STATES BUILDING!
Might I recommend spoilering your post good sir?
End Spoiler
Near the end of the game you receive one last vision where Young Alma and adult Alma fuse together to become whole again. What this means for everyone else is unkown.
If you're referring to the new game from Monolith, none of what happened in the addon pack is cannon, so who knows. I would have thought it'd be adult Alma given the ending of the first game, but it's clearly young Alma in the trailer. Unless that's supposed to be some projection of herself where Adult Alma was her actual physical form or something.
As for the new game from Vivendi, that's pretty much anyone's guess.
The new addon pack from Vivendi is going to be tracking a different character through the action that unfolded during the course of FEAR.
hopefully not a helicopter pilot
(See all Resident Evils, FEAR, and a few others.)
IIRC, in Resident Evil 3 you get rescued by a chopper pilot from RE1. Or actually, maybe he wasn't officially a chopper pilot, but he was flying one at the time.
Other than that yeah, your life expectancy isn't great for some reason.
