Fear Effect Inferno is the unreleased third game in the Fear Effect series. Inferno was originally announced for the PlayStation 2 in 2001, and the first trailer was released during the 2002 E3. The trailer depicted some of the only known footage of the game. The game's status changed rapidly towards the end of 2002 and was finally canceled in 2003. However, between the announcement and the cancellation, information was scarce.
Reports varied as to the status of the game between 2002 and 2003. While an early report by GameSpot in May 2003 described the game as simply "on hold", IGN broke the news during their "Missing in Action" series of articles that the game had been canceled. According to IGN's report, the game "was the first of Eidos' victims to its more stringent quality assurance program." Due to the game's poor progress, it was either given more development time or cancelled. Unfortunately, only the development staff knew of the game's status following this condemnation. According to IGN, "at some point in late 2002 or early 2003, Kronos did indeed shop it to various publishers. Nobody, however, bit."
I've yet to play either of the first two Fear Effect games and I feel guilty for not doing so, since they sound rather interesting judging by a review of the first game I read today. The trailer for the third game also looked promising and it's a shame it got canned in favor of friggin' Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness.
Fear effect 1 and 2 are two of the best PS1 games ever... The story and just everything about it keeps you coming back. I'v played and beat both of them many times and still play them to this day. I'v read about the third in the series for some years.... watched the cut scenes on youtube, i would really love to get my hands on this.
