F.E.A.R. 3
F.E.A.R. 3, développé par Day 1 Studios et édité par WB Games, est sorti le 21 juin 2011 sur PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 et PC. Ce jeu de tir et d'aventure, troisième volet de la série et suite de F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin, se déroule neuf mois après les événements précédents, alors que la grossesse d'Alma Wade touche à sa fin. Un Paxton Fettel ressuscité libère Point Man de la captivité de l'Armacham Technology Corporation dans une prison brésilienne, et les deux frères méfiants retournent à Fairport : Point Man veut sauver Jin Sun-Kwon et empêcher la naissance, tandis que Fettel poursuit ses propres desseins, tandis qu'une nouvelle menace effraie même Alma.
Le joueur peut incarner Point Man, soldat aux réflexes surhumains et capable de manipuler le temps, ou l'esprit paranormal de Fettel et ses pouvoirs psychiques. La campagne est jouable en solo ou en coopération, en ligne comme en écran partagé hors ligne, et chaque niveau terminé en solo débloque sa rejouabilité en tant que Fettel avec un décor et des dialogues identiques. Le titre propose un système de couverture à 360°, de nouveaux ralentis, des statistiques et des combats de méchas, ainsi qu'un environnement altéré par l'Almaverse et une technologie de génération d'événements aléatoires. John Carpenter et Steve Niles ont contribué à la réalisation des cinématiques et au récit. Le moteur utilisé est le Despair Engine, et une partie principale dure environ six heures, contre dix-sept heures et demie pour un parcours complet. Le score Metacritic est de 74 et la note agrégée de 73,39, pour un prix de 19,99 euros.
La presse a salué un gunplay soigné et des ajouts comme le co-op de campagne, tandis que certains joueurs sur Steam louent un jeu magnifique et mystérieux, d'autres regrettent au contraire une horreur perdue et réclament l'arrêt de la série, et un utilisateur de Metacritic déplore un scénario sans intérêt tout en relevant quelques qualités.

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« Rather than aping what's popular, it focuses on good gunplay and unique ways to make it interesting: the slow motion, the co-op, the scoring system, two distinct characters to emphasize replayability, and a story that knows its place and its limitations. »
« And while the additions of features like campaign co-op and survival-based multiplayer are not unwelcome, it's the core aspects of FEAR 3 that should be the reason you play this game. »
« The difficulty and length of the single player campaign and the lack of "true" competitive multiplayer (read: deathmatch) makes this game a little disappointing. But, truthfully, I can forgive that as the game has great replayability and an awesome game mode in F*cking Run. »
« In the end, F.E.A.R. 3 is a great game. »
« Scary or not, F.E.A.R. 3 is an excellent FPS that delivers on all fronts – an excellent single player experience, drop-in campaign-based co-op, multiplayer player vs. bot co-op, and even player vs. player competitive fun – and it does it all in a unique and refreshing manner. »
« A very solid and good game, with a varied and satisfying gameplay and very original multiplayer options. It doesn't scare ad we would have liked, but it's a recommended buy for every fan of the series and FPS lovers in general. »
« FEAR 3 has a tendency to become rather enjoyable with its tough enemies, well-thought-out levels and a gripping horror style atmosphere. The developers also used an all-too familiar Alma-flavored pattern to weave together a proper storyline. »
« F.E.A.R. 3 lives up to, if not trumps, the prior experiences in the F.E.A.R. universe. »

« What can I say about this Abomination ****. Its not scary, The story is as interesting as a plastic bag flying In the wind. But there is 2 things that is good in this game. 1: Gameplay. While not fear 1 level it's still passable. 2: Co-op. This isnt a fear game this is a co-op fps. Its pretty fun co-op but it's just bit fear. Honestly I was extremely disappointed with this disaster ****. Even the development was bad. When vivendi was making a fear 2 but wb made them form it into f3ar. One of the worst horror fps games of all time »
« Had a pretty good time with the game. Not as good as the first two games in the series, but absolutely does not deserve a lot of hate that it gets from people. »
« It's a bad game that's made fun when played co op. Lot of laughs really, and yeah there were some creepy stuff too. »
« Awsome game ,a good finale to one of the best FPS series ever...F3 takes a few mechanics from more milart shooters, but is still full on horror and keeps the sick AF SLOMO bullet time mayhem.. »
« Unfortunately, I'm a bit late with this review but I decided to write one because this game specifically deserves a good review. Once again, Warner Bros and Day 1 Studios have yet impressed me with this game. I just love the fear games. Fear 3 has such a unique way of gameplay and the graphics have definitely improved since 2006 from the original fear. And the co-op is just so much fun. It has been said before that this isn't your normal online gameplay. Which makes the game more unique in particular. The multiplayer is all co-op. It will have you laughing all the time. When I get a first person shooter, I look into the graphics more than ever. The graphics are amazing!! The acting is done perfectly. Shooting arms, legs, heads, and the best part the whole entire person since the original fear will explode from a single shotgun blast. If your a blood fest type of person then this game is a must!! »
« This game is severely flawed but once you get used to the cheesy aspects, it starts to get a little fun. It's not really fun or really boring. It's something you'd put on when you've finished all your good games and you're out of gas. Forgettable »
« I loved the first two games in the F.E.A.R. franchise. I loved the insane action, slow-motion roundhouse kicks and bodies exploding into Jell-O(tm) when you pumped a shell into them. I loved the freaky-deaky story, the mysterious protagonist(s) and the occasional flirt with enigmatic storytelling, the screeching, violin-falling-down-the-stairs soundtrack that worked in all its beautiful discordance and hair-raising abruptness. The scripted scares wove ladders, hallways, doors and windows into shockingly intricate little spookouts that contrasted with the bombastic shootouts that framed them, and it all just worked out so WELL. Hell, even the ending of the second game was pretty good in my eyes. And then this thing came out. I hardly know what to say about it, and I hardly have the energy- even now- to summon a full-blown rant on this marvelous marvelous deconstruction of a once-great shooter franchise. The scares? Gone. The lonesome eeriness? Gone. Hope you like playing co-operatively with your psychic **** brother who has lost all of his charm now that you can see how he works and he's always trotting along beside you like a goddamn doberman. The Half-Life-esque presentation that kept you in the protagonist's perspective constantly and almost never thrust you into immersion-punching cutscenes? Hope you didn't like them, because apparently neither did WB. Did I mention that this game isn't scary? It gets most of the action from previous titles right, but it's more than lacking in the horror department. You know. The game called... CALLED... 'Fear'? It doesn't even try to be scary. At all. The game should be called A.P.A.T.H.Y. »
