Surely they can't own the rights to characters they ripped directly from the movie The Ring?
To be fair, the whole "pale girl with long black hair covering her face" gimmick is pretty much ubiquitous in Japanese horror.

Sierra owns the rights to the FEAR name and will be making a game called FEAR 2, although it probably won't have much in common with the original game, since Monolith owns the rights to the characters, etc. Surely they can't own the rights to characters they ripped directly from the movie The Ring?

I really hate those fucking popup advertisements...
Ahh yes. The year is 2008 and some people still see ads in their browsers. It's really mind boggling, but I suppose somebody has to support all of those 'impressions'...

Key Features:
Another office building romp with some powersuit / mech like action mixed in.
Outdoor environments are just oversized hallways in disguise with a lowres skybox instead of a ceiling.
Scripted enemy movements to make it appear like there’s actual AI going on, it’s really just carefully choreographed pathing.
Maintains the authenticity of the Alma storyline, but after the sixth office cubicle you clear out you’ll forget that there’s even a story at all.

I really hate those fucking popup advertisements that you can't close or is impossible to find where to close them. Just what I want is 10 seconds of not being able to read this story. Makes me not want to come to this site and just stick to VE3d or Shack. Seriously, WTF.
Reload the page right after it's loaded.
Personally, I prefer that one little popup instead of a million ads that invades all around the story I'm trying to read on other gaming sites. And most of the time, those ads will give you a seizure, be annoying and have sounds.

"Does this imply some other company is going to be making a FEAR 2 like OFP2 and FarCry 2? "
It does. Sierra owns the rights to the FEAR name and will be making a game called FEAR 2, although it probably won't have much in common with the original game, since Monolith owns the rights to the characters, etc.

I liked the first one. It had good AI and the effects made the gunfights ridiculous, and the horror, "boo!" stuff was better than most. It did have its problems though, the repetitive levels, the sort of goofy story. It probably would have been better as a straight action-shooter without all of the supernatural stuff.
Monolith is a pretty good outfit. Minus a couple misfires, they've been making some of the best fps games since the mid nineties. I also appreciate the fact that after BUILD, they've been rolling their own engines rather than using the off-the-shelf stuff that makes too many FPSes the same games with different graphics.

| The game's engine probably has the least effect on how "consolized" a game will end up being. If it's being designed for XBOX 360, then the most I can generate now is cautious optimism. Mass Effect turned out great despite its console roots, so all is not lost. |

I wish they would. I normally buy used sci-fi books but lately my entertainment dollar has been going to brand new twelve dollar books instead of games.
Much more entertaining then the schlock I can find in PC video games these days.
Of course, I could just be getting old and jaded....

Unless you're telling me they started completely from scratch, made an engine for the Xbox360, and then poorly ported it to the PC. In which case I question your sanity. Are you trying to say that a PC sequel to a PC game is going to be a poor console port even though it basically uses the same god damn engine?
Well, duh. Console controllers are limited, so is the design choice revolving around them.
Like Jerryk said. It changes Everything.
I'm going back to Nexus: The Jupiter Incident, for some reason. Just need some deep space capital ship combat with a story. Carry on...

The engine the game uses was built primarily for usage on the PC.
Eh? I'm not talking about the engine, just the game itself. The engine itself is just a modified version of the original engine. It's not the engine that's the problem. It's the fact that the game is designed around a gamepad and television. This affects everything from level design, movement speed, HUD, health, aim assist, hitboxes, weapon design, etc.
From what I've seen and read thus far, such influences are present in the game. The player movement is slower. The HUD is huge and bloated. Health regenerates, which greatly affects the flow and nature of combat. When I actually play the game, I'll probably find other examples.
There are obvious differences when a game is designed for a console instead of a PC. If you disagree, I must question your sanity. With that said, I still think Project Origin looks pretty cool. I just know it would be a lot cooler if it were designed to take advantage of the PC's inherent strengths and audience.

Um, the game isn't being designed for the PC. 360 is the lead SKU. If you watch any of the dev walkthroughs, diaries, trailers, etc, you'll clearly see 360 buttons.
So? I'm not talking about which they choose to market the most heavily. The engine the game uses was built primarily for usage on the PC.
Unless you're telling me they started completely from scratch, made an engine for the Xbox360, and then poorly ported it to the PC. In which case I question your sanity. Are you trying to say that a PC sequel to a PC game is going to be a poor console port even though it basically uses the same god damn engine?
Seriously, arguing semantics because it is multiplatform just reeks of the bitter anti-console rhetoric that fills this site. It's basically just FEAR 2. Only changes Ive seen are Replacing medpacks with regenerating health, and big armor refills with smaller refills off of enemies, and a few enhancements to the engine.
I know its fun to run around and flame anything that isn't PC exclusive, but I still haven't seen any concrete arguments that somehow this is going to be a "crappy console port" when it uses an engine that originated on the PC, and is a sequel to a primarily PC game. Just because they market to the largest audience doesn't make it a crappy port. A PC game doesn't have to be PC exclusive to be good. I judge every game on its individual merits. If I didn't, I'd just be another anti-console or pro-console sheep.
Project Origin is simple. If you liked the original, you will like this. If you didn't, then you won't. Anyone who says it doesn't look like more of the exact same isn't really paying attention.
PC gamers are starting to look like Star Trek fans, an angry little snobby niche upset that their world is decaying largely due to their own actions. I'm just glad I am immune to falling into that kind of mind set. I've played PC games for 20 years, watched science fiction TV and movies about the same length of time, and somehow managed to avoid becoming some kind of fanboy.

Given that the game engine appears to be an enhanced version of the original, I think it being "developed from the ground up for PC" is obvious.
Um, the game isn't being designed for the PC. 360 is the lead SKU. If you watch any of the dev walkthroughs, diaries, trailers, etc, you'll clearly see 360 buttons.

such a 2005 smash hit they had to give away the multiplayer for anyone to play the generic piece of shit.
Shrug, I thought it was kind of cool that they released their multiplayer for free. All this bitching about gaming companies like Funcom with constant comments like "corporate money grubbing asshats screwing people for money", etc...but when a company does something like this and gives something away for free, some people still bitch. Kind of hypocritical IMHO.
But anyways, I downloaded it and played it for awhile. It didn't have tremendous replay value and wasn't groundbreaking by any means, but I was able to kill quite a few hours with it. Even recorded some of it and posted a video, I checked back a year later out of curiosity and it had 36,000+ views, wtf?! Obviously some people are grateful they released it for free.

Yes F.E.A.R. may not have been the second coming for PC Gaming, but for what it was trying to be "atmospherically scary", the end result was much better than most other games trying to do the same. *Doom3*
