Trailer: Discover the new multiplayer mode coming in the next Fear game, and get ready to run.
It's nice to a see a game (or at least, game mode) that delivers pretty much what it promises on the tin. That's pretty much what the new FEAR 3 is doing with its new multiplayer mode, creatively called...
Fucking Run.
We saw and got to play a bit of this mode at the recent Warner games night, and the trailer below pretty much nails the experience. It's essentially a riff on the Left 4 Dead model - a four-player co-op mode where you must get from point A to point B, blowing away baddies all the while. Of course, there's some wrinkles...
First up, these aren't zombies, but armed soldiers, and even mechs. They not only pursue you, but also oppose you as you advance - and you have to advance. You see, following you, is the so-called Wall of Death, a billowing cloud of ever-advancing smoke that insta-kills on contact.
And, of course, if one of your team dies... you lose.
