This week’s “dude what” moment goes to F.E.A.R. 3’s new screenshots. For those unaware of the franchise, the universe has always had paranormal tendencies but overall the game had a strong foundation in the real world. You used tactics and strategy to take out your foes not magic abilities and enormous mech suits. There was a good balance between the two, and with F.E.A.R. 3 it seems obvious which design strand they went with (hint: THE RIDICULOUS ONE). Screenshots are at the bottom of this page.
I’m still interested to see how F.E.A.R. 3 is going to turn out, now I know I’ll have to set my expectations completely differently than before. Even Alma looks like a cast member of Blade 2 or one of the S&M Hitman levels. I don’t even know if they’ll be going for scary as much as they’ll be going for “DUDE THIS SECTION IS SO WEIRD WHAT IS GOING ON.” Either way, at least they picked a direction and stuck with it. Check out the screens for yourself:
