F.3.A.R. Trailer Isn't What I was Expecting

The F.3.A.R. debut trailer has just been released, and it isn't at all what I was expecting.'

Seeing as I never finished F.E.A.R 2, I don't fully understand what is going on from a story persective, but as far as gameplay goes, I think I have a pretty good idea.
My guess is that the long-haired guy, presumably the Point Man, gets taken over by some evil spirit (that glowing red guy) which turns him into a half-man/half-evil being. My guess is that a Prince of Persia: Warrior Within style of gameplay is to be expected, but then with guns and crazy paranormal powers.
As you can probably tell this trailer didn't really get me too excited for F.3.A.R.'s release, but then again I'm a bit bias after being disappointed by F.E.A.R. 2. I hope to be proven wrong about F.3.A.R. when it comes out, but so far, my hopes are low.

F.3.A.R. Is A Stupid Name

This news surfaced yesterday on a popular video game forum, NeoGaf. A "Spanish magazine" is apparently getting the first scoop on the next title in the F.E.A.R. series, but what makes stand out, is the name. F.3.A.R. as some people might think, is a clever way to number a sequel, but in this case, its pretty stupid. F.E.A.R. stands for "First Encounter Assault Recon", but with the number thrown in the middle, that acronym no longer makes any sense.
Well alright, I might be over reacting on the game's name a little too much considering the real news here is that F.E.A.R. 3 is on it way.
I really like the first F.E.A.R. and its expansion "Extraction Point". After those 2 titles however, I found the F.E.A.R. series kind of lost its magical balance between scary and great gun play. I'm sure this had a lot to do with the split of Monolith Studios and Sierra Entertainment, but I hope that Monolith (the studio who now has the rights to the F.E.A.R. series) can bring back some of the first game's excitement.
We'll have to wait and see if this is actually the game's title, but I'm sure we'll hear soon enough, as the next month's issue of this "Spanish magazine" is supposed to have a lot more info.
