FEAR 3, the latest sequel to the paranormal first person shooter series, has been announced. Along with a chance to play again once more as the first game’s protagonist, Point Man, there’s a new co-op mode and one extra smart coup: Hollywood film director John Carpenter is advising. Yup, the man behind Halloween is set to make it extra spooky.
Warner Bros has announced that FEAR 3 is in the works. It’s being developed by the team behind the first FEAR game, Day 1 Studios, and sees super solider Point Man teaming up with his telekinetic, psychotic brother Paxton. In FEAR 3 single player or co-op mode, the storyline will see you torn between Point Man’s FEAR squad allies and his supernatural, twisted mother Alma that they’re bent on destroying once and for all.

What’s really piqued our interest with FEAR 3 though is the fact that John Carpenter is advising on in-game cinematics. Carpenter knows how to ramp up the creepiness, as he did with the Halloween series (Well, the first few anyway), but also how to shock: see the graphic murder of a schoolgirl in Assault On Precinct 13. Knowing he’s onboard for the FEAR 3 cut scenes should mean we’re in for a roller coaster ride.
FEAR 3 is due out in the Autumn on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC, but you can get a glimpse of the (live action) trailer below.
