Back in when the first F.E.A.R. launched on the PC back in 2005, it had captured the hearts of many on the PC with it’s second to none graphics, and very intelligent AI, and creepy gameplay. But, when the game was released on consoles it was covered with the signs of a slushy port. Now, Dave Matthews, the primary art lead for F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin, has assured that this will not be the case with the newest game.

When speaking with CVG, Mathews said that he believes the poor console ports of the first F.E.A.R., handled by Day 1 Studios, caused the franchise to loose some potential fans.

However, Monolith is taking charge of all three platforms this time: “Now we’re handling all three versions, we’ve changed our development structure to develop all three SKUs simultaneously and there’s no lead platform. While there will be some slight variations between the different versions, so if you’re on PC you can push some things further, our main goal is to make sure the experience is synonymous across all three platforms.”

Today, Dave Mathews, project lead art director at Monolith, has revealed that the upcoming sequel F.E.A.R., Project Origin, has been delayed. The delay will last until the first quarter of 2009, the game was originally planned for a October first, of this year, release. The game takes place in the same world as it’s mother game, F.E.A.R., but it will not recognize Extraction Point or Perseus Mandate. The game will continue the story of a powerful psychic child named Alma, you know that crazy little girl that is always disappearing in to the corner of a hall. In the game you play as Michael Becket, a Delta Force operator whose squad is sent in to arrest Genevieve Aristide approximately thirty minutes before the ending of F.E.A.R.
