The upcoming sequel to 2005’s brilliant title F.E.A.R. is landing on the digital distribution battlefields. In particular, Steam and Direct2Drive. But since the latter is a shitty distribution service, we’ll just cheer Steam as usual.
Warner Bros. Digital Distribution announced today that the Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment game, F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin will be available for digital download via partners in North America in conjunction with the day and date retail release. The game will be available through IGN Entertainment’s digital retail store, Direct2Drive, and via Steam, a leading platform for the delivery and management of PC games with over 15 million accounts worldwide.
“More and more gamers are taking advantage of digital distribution to access videogames,” said Thomas Gewecke, President, Warner Bros. Digital Distribution. “Digital distribution is going to be an important facet of the gaming world and we are glad to be a part of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment’s efforts to offer additional, convenient, and flexible options for players.”
Developed by Warner Bros. Entertainment’s Monolith Productions for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, Windows PC and the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system, and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin fans in North America will be able to download the game the same day the retail version hits store shelves on February 10, 2009.
“F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin is the sequel we’ve all been waiting for and we are fortunate to team with Warner Bros. Digital Distribution to deliver this highly anticipated, edgy thriller to fans of the series,” said Samantha Ryan, Senior Vice President, Production and Development, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. “With these new digital partnerships, players will have more options to decide how and when they want to experience the next bone chilling installment in this renowned series.”
F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin, the highly anticipated sequel to the 2005 smash hit game, F.E.A.R., is a blend of advanced visceral combat mixed with seamless game pacing set inside a sinister and paranormal universe that begins shortly before the ending of F.E.A.R. A Special Forces squad is on a routine mission when the city of Auburn is rocked by a supernatural explosion. Alma, a girl with immense power and a thirst for revenge, has unleashed her wrath upon the city and thrown it into chaos. The squad must combat enemy forces and the supernatural as they struggle to find a way to stop Alma and uncover the mysterious forces arrayed against them before it’s too late.

Valve Spends a Fortune on Left 4 Dead Advertising

Valve has reportedly spent $10million dollars on the advertising campaign for Left 4 Dead. The campaign incorporates TV, Internet, Print and Outdoor advertising, with roughly half of the money going to TV ad-spots.
“We looked at the media mixes that various games have used for the last three years and used that to help us make decisions about how to allocate the dollars,” Newell said.
This, after Valve got 60% more pre-orders than Orange Box for Left 4 Dead. Remember that Orange Box had 5 Games and Left 4 Dead is just 1 IP.
About half of the campaign’s dollars will go towards television advertising. Valve has secured 30-second “high impact, premium placement” spots during USC, Notre Dame, Monday Night and Thanksgiving football broadcasts.
Very impressive. Good luck Valve!
