F.E.A.R. PC expansion

By Tom Bramwell Published 7 May, 2006

To be shown at E3.

A brand new F.E.A.R. PC expansion pack will line up alongside the now-confirmed Xbox 360 version at E3 next week.

Vivendi's announced that F.E.A.R.: Extraction Point is currently in development for release this autumn. TimeGate Studios is handling it, in conjunction with original developer Monolith, which is thought to be working on sequels to the game - despite not having the official name to use any more since Warner Bros. bought it out.

Extraction Point will pick up from where F.E.A.R. ended, apparently, which ought to be pretty interesting given just how F.E.A.R. ended. Apparently you'll return to battle the now-free Alma and her minions across the destroyed city, with new locations, weapons and enemies.

All should become a bit clearer at E3, starting on Wednesday.

    Alma's minions heh? Not so sure about that. It was great in FEAR not having to fight daft aliens about half way through. Granted there were a few supernatural beings especially to the end, but we're not talking Far Cry standards.

    Still, I look forward to it.

    My first reaction was 'Oh dear' even though im a massive fan of FEAR, but if Timegate are working with Monolith then maybe there is nothing to be worried about, im sure it'll still have the same great enemy AI which is what i loved in FEAR so hopefully it will shine.

    So would these extra levels be the same ones as on the 360 version by any chance?

    Ah well.. polishing a turd and all that

    Your obesession with posting in every FEAR thread is a bit irritating. We know by now you didn't like it, smelly.

    When I waste money on a crap game.. i let EVERYONE know about it :-)

  • gallow #6 6 years ago

    The game wasn't crap. It was very good and I got sucked right into it. An expansion should be good fun.

    Tomo - what aliens are you talking about as I cannot remember them?

    Well for some the game DID get crap after awhile. I personally like it, but I am stuck in the middle and do not really feel like going forward. However, the firefights are without parallel.
