Monolith's F.E.A.R. Follow-Up Gets a Name

F.E.A.R. [http://www.wbie.com/] will be entitled Project Origin.

Project Origin is the winner of the Monolith [http://www.nameyourfear.com/main/], which developed fear and is currently working on the sequel, split with Vivendi in 2004.

Monolith's Troy Skinner said, "Our team really enjoyed letting the fans drive the naming process, and we are excited to expand upon the work we began in the original game and establish Project Origin as a premier gaming franchise in its own right." While no longer using the F.E.A.R. name, Project Origin will carry on the game's story and make use of established characters. The winning name was chosen ahead of other entries that included Thugmuffins Gangsta Throwdown, THE GIRL IN THE KETCHUP STAINED DRESS, Manbuster, Killdozer, Bloody Bunger and S.A.U.S.A.G.E.

Project Origin is under development for the Xbox 360 [http://www.playstation.com]and PC, but no release date has been set.

Hahha, the runners up are hilarious.

What does S.A.U.S.A.G.E. stand for though?

Also, PANICS [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PANICS] was pretty great.

I dunno if it matters what S.A.U.S.A.G.E. stands for, but it'd be hilarious to see it shelved at EB.

That was a challenge good sir. You did not take it up.

Sequel: Assault Underground Slo-mo Anime Gore Engine

I would've voted for Manbuster, myself.

Screw fear I want a blood sequel that dosen't suck

Any name that starts with "Project" is terrible.

Project Origin is fairly rubbish, isn't it?

I'd have went with 'Mutant Baby Kill Simulator 2008'. Guaranteed multi million seller.

Dang. I wanted to suggest First Assault Recon Team. Or perhaps First Recon Encounter Detachment. (Hey, here comes F.R.E.D.)

I loved PANICS.

Project Origin kinda blows. Maybe they'll spiff it up a bit with a subtitle, something like: Project Origin: S.A.U.S.A.G.E.

Whatever, I'd rather play a renamed sequel with all the elements of the original than a FEAR 2 that has none of them.
