F.E.A.R. this countdown


Eurogamer posted a story about this a while ago. I meant to post it then, but --as usual -- Eurogamer failed to link it in any way whatsoever(!). Anyway, the point is this: joinfear.com has a countdown running (14 days to go as of this post) with the title "COMBAT IS COMING". What it's counting down to is anybody's guess. A 360 release date? Marketplace demo perhaps? Give us some theories in the comments.

3. yea does anyone know if this is for 360? I would imagine first guess to be PC as well. But Id ont' see the whole point about a countdown till when they announce a release date. Why not just announce it now?

4. Maybe it'll be both, release date for the 360 and the expansion for the PC...

6. I have it on good information that this is a countdown for the announcement of a $50 pay-per-view 'F.E.A.R. vignette'.

Paying customers will be treated to a still photo of the box that F.E.A.R. for XBox 360 will be packaged in. You will be allowed to view said box for 15 minutes, and 10$ for each additional 5 minutes of viewing. Background music is included in the purchase price. I understand it will be Enya.

But wait- there's interactivity! The box will rotate 90 degrees for each additional $5.

[In all seriousness, Condemned made me a huge Monolith fan. Can't wait for F.E.A.R.]

7. " ... Background music is included in the purchase price. I understand it will be Enya ... "

Ha! You sir, are getting a star for that, just as soon as I get out of the office :)

8. I can't think of many things more satisfying than shooting someone in the face while the line "A return to innocence" comes up in the song.

9. Look at the bottom of the site. There's no Xbox 360 logo. This is about the PC version. And isn't Vivendi doing the 360 version anyhow?

10. According to IGN, FEAR is "Slated for a November 2 release date, rated M, and packing a serious visceral punch"
