Latest F3AR trailer shows off co-op features

Video: Discover the divergent co-operative gameplay for F3AR, as well as the developer with the deepest voice we've ever heard.

Let's get this out of the way now - we hate F3AR as name. Sure, it's officially F.E.A.R. 3, but that's equally bad to type - it took us three goes just then.

So we're simply going to call it Fear 3 and be done with it. There.

Anyhoo, there's this new Fear 3 video that does a good job of showing off the game's Divergent Co-op feature. When you play in co-operative mode, you'll be able to take on the roll of Point Man or his brother Paxton Fettel - both protagonists bring very different skills and powers to the table. But, more interestingly, there'll be portions of the game where the two can split up and take different paths to the objective.

Also in this video is a developer with the deepest voice we've ever heard. Seriously, we thought it was some kind of audio effect. Just so you know.

Fear 3 is out on all major platforms in May this year.

visually the texture looks poor, good for me as long as they keep on making games like this my PC wont need an upgrade till the next gen console.

Wow. The more I see of this, the less I feel like playing it. And that's coming from a FEAR 1 diehard.

they may have been pushing for the 3rd so they could put the 3 in place of the E in the title.
That's marketing to nerds gold right there.

I love the Fear games even though 2 was a bit of a let down.
The Co-Op element just makes this more appealing to me, I hope they include a LAN option.

Lan and a re-release of 1+2 would be good for me!
