This game is the sequel to <a href = \"?p=11600000\">F.E.A.R.<\/a>, but sports a different name because Vivendi, the publisher of F.E.A.R., owns the copyright.  Monolith, the developer of the game, was purchased by Warner Bros. a couple of years ago, which required that they sever ties with Vivendi.  Needing a new name, the development team invited people to submit ideas and then held a contest to pick the most popular name.  <i>Project Origin<\/i> is the unfortunate result of that contest, yet again proving that gamer-selected names often suck (thankfully, <a href = \"?p=7200000\">the last time this happened<\/a> to a horror game, the developers opted to use their original name rather than the terrible fan-selected name).<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, the game itself looks pretty cool.  There&#8217;s an <a href=\"http:\/\/projectorigin.warnerbros.com\/\">official website<\/a> with a trailer, and <a href=\"http:\/\/kotaku.com\/375559\/project-origin-is-scary?autoplay=true\">Kotaku<\/a> has a clip as well.  Since it&#8217;s been announced for PS3 and Xbox360, it seems like an obvious match for the Quest.  Project Origin is currently slated to ship this fall.<\/p>\n<p>As an aside, Monolith has really been racking up the horror games lately!  Not only did they just release <a href = \"?p=11700000\">Condemned 2: Bloodshot<\/a>, they were also apparently involved in the new PS2 port of <a href = \"?p=12200000\">Silent Hill: 0rigins<\/a>.  In fact, they haven&#8217;t worked on a non-horror game since 2005.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I keep forgetting to post about Project Origin, maybe because the name is so forgettable.
