Little hype for Project Origin

[Avatar Roku]

For those of you who don't know, PO is the official sequel to F.E.A.R (it will completely ignore the expansions). Anyway, from what I've seen, everyone loved F.E.A.R. So why is this game getting so little press? Very few mentions of it, except for the fact that monolith got the name "F.E.A.R" back, so now it's "F.E.A.R 2: Project Origin." It just befuddles me. It seems like it's fixing the main complaint everyone had with the first, the lack of diverse environment (a complaint with which I agreed), and, according to the Escapist article on the hands-on they got, the A.I is as good as ever (for the uninitiated, F.E.A.R was praised most for its very good A.I). So why on earth wouldn't it be getting as much attention as, say Gears of War 2? Admittedly, it's coming out in February, but it was coming out in October until recently. Any insights?

I know! - the first game was really good and had a lot of scary moments - il definitely be getting this game (unless killzone 2 is out around the same time)

they probably won't start showing commercials for it till November or December since it's coming out in February like you said.

Makes sense. Still, you'd think they'd talk about it on Xplay or something.

It's so weird. I had heard this game was being made, but it wasn't until I saw the name change on The Feed ticker on g4 that I even knew it was coming out as soon as February, and it wasn't until I did some research today that I heard anything else about it.

Speaking of Killzone 2, I heard (I think I read it on the Escapist. No link, but search for f.e.a.r in the searchbox at the top and look around) this game is getting a cover system. Since I highly doubt they want you to see your character, I bet it'll be a first person cover system, like they announced for Killzone 2.
