An email in my inbox says F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin has now gone gold, just in time for its release on the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360, two weeks from today on the 10th of February. It's from representatives of Warner Bros. Interactive, so we will treat it as "official."

If you're completely out of the F.E.A.R. loop or just can't remember what all went on in the original paranormal shooter, Warner has this remedial video to get you up to speed.

Can't wait for it, I loved the first one.

never played F.E.A.R, is it any good?

Yes F.E.A.R. was great.  Can't wait to get this on 360! 

I have been wanting to go back and play the original again. To the Gamefly Q!

FEAR was pretty cool, but it definitely peaked at the end. While everything before that was fun, it did get slightly repetitive. But all in all it's kind of an interesting and cool game. That being said, I played the demo for FEAR 2 and it basically seems more of the same. Which is good I guess, but I just don't really have any interest to return. I enjoyed Condemned more personally when it comes down to monolith games.

I didn't liek the demo that much, as far as shooters go you can do better in pc, 360 and ps3

Man, I think I'm more confused now. I never played the original F.E.A.R., but I'm most certainly going to go back and give it a look before the new one comes out.

[Major spoiler ]

I want to love this game, but I played the demo. After 5 minutes, I think I crapped my pants......Twice.

FEAR was excellent.  The story was dumb as hell though, I really wouldn't bother playing it for the story, just read wiki or something.  It was the feel of the shooting that made it so good - the firefights in FEAR still haven't been bettered imo.

Is there any truth in the rumour that the PC version of FEAR 2 doesn't support any monitor resolutions?

I'm just glad it's allowed to be called F.E.A.R.

I really liked FEAR.  I had no idea this game was right around the corner, so im super excited about it now.  Cant wait to soil myself again....

and people said that Q1 09 was slow!  Too many games to play!

I liked the first so this should be good. I liked the demo and I need a scary game about now.

I LOVED F.E.A.R. and the demo was pretty fun. I did have some problems though. I didn't really mind that all of F.E.A.R. took place inside office buildings, but people must have because the setting is completely different. One thing that is a plus for me and a minus for anyone who didn't play F.E.A.R. is that the story picks up IMMEDIATELY after the first. So anyone who didn't play or understand the first will be completely lost.  I'm interested to see how the new main character fits into the story, and I hope they just don't make it more complicated. One thing I'm upset about is that my computer won't run FEAR 2, and if it does it won't run it well at all, so I have to pick this one up for Xbox. Playing it on Xbox was considerably less scary, because when you play a PC game you are about 1-2 feet from the screen and with my xbox im about 6-10 feet away depending on what room I play this in. I'm super looking forward to this game, and I know they can do a good job with it!

This is definitly a game to play, i loved it.

Will probably pick this up for 360 :)

Alma wants your balls, that's all you need to know....

FEAR 2 demo = meh.  I wish Monolith made Condemned exclusively, it's so much better

To all asking if FEAR was any good: FUCK YES, it was good!

i don't think F.E.A.R was that complicated, even with that dumb expansion. they've been writing a story at least.

Loved the game, will surely love this one too.

The demo is solid, I've heard nothing but good news about this game, and I'm super excited. I'll definitely pick it up.

The thing between Timegate and Monolith might not be on the same level as the Infinity Ward/Treyarch thing, but it's still pretty weird. Monolith has chosen to ignore all of the expansion packs that they didn't develop. As well they should, since none of those expansion packs were particularly good, and they obviously didn't continue the story as Monolith intended. I'll be happy to see the true continuation to the cliff-hanger ending that F.E.A.R. offered.

FEAR had a pretty shitty story. The demo of FEAR 2 was pretty shitty. "Scary" little girls? Played out.

NEXT.

edit: Also, Monolith: MAKE A NEW NO ONE LIVES FOREVER, PLEASE. THANK YOU!

well after playing the demo, i can safely say that killzone 2 beats it by a long shot. but that's no suprise, i'll probably give this a rent though.

cant wait. the demo ruled my ass.

I thought the FEAR 2 demo showed that the game was solid in all the right places. All this crap about it not be scary is BS, because forming such a view solely on the basis of a short demo is BS.

FEAR is a creepy fucker.

I liked the demo. Playing through the mech section just makes me think they really *might* be gearing up for another SHOGO game.

I also ran this demo on the PS3 and a PC that is almost 4 years old. It looked just as good on the PC and ran arguably the same, if not better than the PS3. In addition it will likely be cheaper on the PC, and it controls better. I'm voting PC on this one.

I adore F.E.A.R. I played the demo for the new one earlier in the week, and despite the total linearity of the enemy placement/level design being a negative taken over from FEAR 1, I wasn't let down much at all. I hope the full game is scarier than what they've showed though. All I got from the demo was a couple of cheap shocks.

But what sold me was the mech. Oh my God. First person, clambering in, slamming the hatch, waiting for the systems to power up, and zooming in to a soldier running through rubble and pockmarking his cover with chainguns. Totally sick.

H.O.L.Y. S.H.I.T.

Loved F.E.A.R. Although, the machine I'm running now is in no way equipped to handle the sequel. So, I think I'll grab the 360 version this time around.

I played the Demo (on console) and it gave me a headache. The Mech part was mostly meh! and kind of lessened my appetite for a similar section in a similar type game coming next month.

Demo was just ok.Framerate droped constantly and really ruined it.I felt like i was playing crysis on my computer and thats pretty bad.

FEAR was awesome.  I loved it.  I can't wait for FEAR 2.

Its good to see some FEAR 2 news on the site!  Remember 2005?  FEAR was a VERY BIG DEAL!  And GB has not been covering the run up to the sequel at all.  Now, two weeks out, we're finally getting some news.  I was starting to think that Jeff was intentionally burying the story, because he didn't like the original FEAR.

F.E.A.R. made me get a boner whenever I booted it up.

"Framerate droped constantly and really ruined it.I felt like i was playing crysis on my computer and thats pretty bad."
What? Crysis - even Warhead - had WAY higher reqs than the demo. I can't even run Warhead with everything on 2nd highest, but the FEAR2 demo was silky the whole way through with everything maxed ('cept AA).

I loved the first F.E.A.R

I'm sure that F.E.A.R wasn't this complicated when I played it four years a go.

Watching that video highlights just how convoluted the storyline is.
