F.E.A.R. Sequel Becomes Project Origin
by Maarten Goldstein, Sep 06, 2007 2:07pm PDTMaybe giving power to the people isn't such a great idea; The results for the Name Your Fear contest naming Monolith's F.E.A.R. sequel are in, and the project is now officially known as the rather unimaginative Project Origin. Due out on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, Project Origin will follow the events of the original F.E.A.R. The game is not to be confused with Vivendi's planned F.E.A.R. sequel, which can not use the characters from Monolith's 2005 shooter. "Project Origin is the name we can stand behind since it was picked by the gaming community, and this game marks a new beginning for the franchise," said Samantha Ryan of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. "With the consoles and the PC, we're dedicated to add a new game dynamic to the universe and build upon what the players loved about the original game."

And Monolith--why bother sticking with the FEAR universe if you can't use the name to sell it? It's not like the story is that interesting...
Oh well, it will be interesting to see how this pans out for both parties. Hopefully it will just prove that corporate shenanigans like this aren't worth it.

Everyone involved with this bonanza ("bo·nan·za - A rich mine, vein, or pocket of ore.") - aka F.E.A.R. has shot themselves in their feet.
In fact.. the only thing that they have accomplished is getting people confused. And because of that they will miss out on a lot of money from customers i bet.
* Some people are going to refuse buying anything that isn't Monolith developed.
* Some people will not even consider Project Origin, but only remember the name F.E.A.R. - and therefore instead buy a sequel they can relate to - ie. F.E.A.R. 2
Fubar this is..

F.E.A.R. 2 can use the premise but not the characters from F.E.A.R.
Project Origin can use the characters but not the premise from F.E.A.R. ?
I'm confused
