SwiftRanger: My point was that Bullet Time is not, and never was, as cool a game mechanic as developers think it is. (Only my opinion, obviously)

Euh, slowmo is what the game is all about, no sane person would even be able to complete FEAR or Extraction Point on the higher difficulty levels without bullet time.

Project Origin does sound ridiculous and Perseus Mandate sounds equally shitty idd. Still, we’ve got two companies (Monolith and Timegate) trying to add something to the FEAR-franchise, they’re both more than capable of doing so. I won’t give a damn about the titles of those games as long they are as good as FEAR and EP (the “slam-the-door-open” stuff should have been in the original game as well :) ).

And of course, all these sequels/prequels should get rid of the mysteriously spawning flying zombies completely, whether they appear in the dream sequences or not.

There should be a ‘ly’ on the end of that amazing, but never mind…

Anyway, as for “Naming your Fear” I would have submitted “Project Please Lord Not Fucking Bullet Time *Again*”.

Richard: Amazing, someone *did* sell the Killdozer concept. It's actually a really shit 1970's TV film. And I know it's rubbish, because they kept showing it on Granada on Saturday afternoons just after The A-Team when I was a kid... It's right up there with Repligator. Except Killdozer might have had a slightly larger budget.

Also, the best game name ever is still “Bert Higgins: The Man From HELL.”
