New F.E.A.R. 3 Multiplayer Mode Vignette – Soul Survivor
One of the most surprising things that will be coming with the new entry into the F.E.A.R. series of games is the multiplayer. Not the fact that F.E.A.R. 3 has a multiplayer, that’s something that’s pretty much standard in First Person Shooters now, but the weird game modes, and especially the names of those modes, that are going to be included.
There’s one called “F***ing Run”. ‘Nuff said.
Another one of those modes, the one detailed in the vignette that Warner Bros. released today, is called “Soul Survivor”. Players of this mode will need to either survive as a hero or succeed as a villain. Each mode will begin with Alma—the powerful tortured psychic—choosing one player to be corrupted. Once that player has been chosen, they will be turned into a spectre, with the ability to possess enemies.
It will be the spectre’s goal to corrupt the remaining squad members before time runs out. If a player is corrupted, they “switch teams” and their objectives to win the game will change. Players will need to work together to either escape the corrupted or band together to corrupt the remaining members.
F.E.A.R. 3 will be released in Europe on June 24th 2011 and North America a couple of days earlier on the 21st June 2011, for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

By day I play video games, test video games or just simply write about them. By night I fight crime on the streets of London as a masked vigilante known only to a select few ... damn SECRET identity. Could never get the hang of that.
I've been writing about video games for about 10 years now, and playing them for even longer, starting off with a Spectrum ZX passed down to me in about 1988. Yes, I used to play games that came on cassettes. Yes, they were AWESOME!
I've been writing for God is a Geek since October 2010 and loving every minute of it, aside from that I write for my own website and work as a video game tester for Testology. So, yeah, I'm pretty much living the life of a gamer, and I don't intend stopping anytime soon thank you very much.
Unless I run out of money, then we might have a problem.
