FEAR 2 closes with the series' resident raven-haired creepy gal, Alma, being impregnated. It appears that nine months is about the gestation period for a paranormal superpower, and FEAR 3 begins as at the spine-chilling peak of Alma's pregnancy. Anyone who has experienced the spectacular miracle of child birth knows that a woman in labor is a sight to behold, with the mother in intense pain as she pushes through the birthing process. There's grunting. There's screaming of profanities. There are demands that are growled. Now imagine, if you will, this process happening to an all-powerful psychic monster.
It's not pretty. As Alma begins her labor, her contractions send supernatural shockwaves through reality. The city shakes, buildings crumble, unspeakable monsters rip through into our physical existence. Bad scene all around.
FEAR 3 re-unites brothers Point Man and Paxton Fettel, the offspring of the otherworldly matriarch in question. The game's story brings them together for what Day One and Warner Bros. are calling a "divergent co-op experience," with each player taking control of one of the two wildly different characters.
