Recently the cover art for F.E.A.R. 3 was revealed to the public and just from the graphic it is apparent that the series will be sticking to their tired and true formula of just ripping off the first game.
"F.E.A.R." (First Encounter Assault Recon) was a game about a the evil government entrapping an all powerful psychic little girl and her subsequent quest for revenge or something to that effect. It was an FPS/survival-horror crossbreed that played heavily on the ever-popular Japanese horror styling. Sadly it coupled genuinely eerie environments and solid game play with a trite story and flat, two-dimensional characters, much like "Dead Space."
"F.E.A.R. 2" was basically the same game. Gamers and critics gave it pretty favorable reviews, but whether or not you like it depends entirely upon your like of the first game. For those of us who are "games are art" types, the same flimsy plot and characters did little to endear the game.
"F.E.A.R. 3's" cover is already ripping off the first two covers, so the potential for an entirely new, unique game seems unlikely. But time will tell.
