The Only Thing You Have To F.E.A.R.
EuroGamer have up a pleasantly conversational F.E.A.R. interview. Clearly not an email Q&A sesh, hence far more enjoyable and revealing thanks to some good old journalistic follow-up to the odd answer. Very much looking forward to this game, visceral action meets "WTF is going on" horror goodness.
Was System Shock 2 really the last FPS to scare the pants off me? The occasional sudden ambush in Doom 3 simply doesn’t count. You’d think the best perspective for immersion would lend itself well to horror games, but clearly not many people have followed that line of thinking. Having said that I have been enjoying the superbly tense and refined Resident Evil 4 from its third person perspective, more on that once I finish it (a highly respectable 14 hours in and I think I’m nearly there).
