F.E.A.R. series hurt by ports and expansions
Art lead admits expansions weren't to Monolith's liking
Speaking with UK games website CVG, F.E.A.R. 2 art lead Dave Matthews has admitted that past F.E.A.R. ports and expansions have damaged the standing of Monolith's FPS series.
The games in question are not created by Monolith, apparently, Matthews citing the Extraction Point and Perseus Mandate releases and stating they "killed off" some fans of the original game.
Apparently, developer TimeGate didn't take F.E.A.R. where Monolith intended.
"We look at Extraction Point and Perseus Mandate as an alternate universe, a 'what could have been', and because of that it doesn't necessarily diminish the story that we were trying to tell. F.E.A.R. was about Alma, F.E.A.R. 2 is about Alma, and we wanted to continue the story the way we originally intended," he revealed.
F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin is due out in early 2009.
