F.E.A.R. Fears It Has Lost Some Fans
As posted on 1up, they spoke with Dave Matthews, the primary art lead on F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin. He states that publishers Vivendi and Sierra have “killed off a few fans” of the Fear series in the past couple years.
“We look at Extraction Point and Perseus Mandate as an alternate universe,” he claims. “F.E.A.R. 2 is about Alma, and we wanted to continue the story the way we originally intended.” he says. Basically they made these expansion games, and you shouldn’t hold them to the story that the original F.E.A.R. and F.E.A.R. 2 are built on.
He also says that because the port of F.E.A.R. for the PS3 which was riddled with problems and disease, and all in all a terrible transfer, they are developing F.E.A.R. 2 at the same time for the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 so everything will be smooth and in order.
We have the Jason Universe to thank for the recent return of Jason Voorhees, with the short film Sweet Revenge and Jason’s arrival in Dead by Daylight helping to bring the hockey mask-wearing horror icon back into our lives. What else is planned, you ask?
In a chat with Variety this week, Jason Universe’s Robbie Barsamian teases that everything we’ve seen up to this point is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Jason’s return.
“We’ve been busy behind the scenes laying the foundation that everyone is finally starting to see come to life, but this is just the tip of the iceberg,” Barsamian teases.
“We have a thrilling lineup of new projects that we can’t wait to share more details on soon.”
Barsamian also notes during the chat with Variety, “We want to give fans fresh takes on what they love most about Jason and continue to expand his world in authentic ways that resonate with horror fans today.” One of those expansions will take the form of the upcoming Peacock and A24 series “Crystal Lake,” which stars Linda Cardellini as Pamela Voorhees.
“The Crystal Lake TV series will take fans back in time to tell the story of how Pamela Voorhees came to be the mother of all slashers,” Barsamian tells Variety this week.
“Crystal Lake” premieres October 15 on Peacock.
Callum Vinson (“Chucky”) is playing young Jason in “Crystal Lake,” which will tell the origin story of the masked slasher who has stalked the grounds of Crystal Lake for decades.
Last year, the Jason Universe team had teased that a new movie and a new video game are top priorities for the near future. But at this time we have no updates on either front.
Stay tuned for more from the Jason Universe.
