Reality Bites: F.E.A.R. 3 Almaverse Trailer

I like posting F.E.A.R. trailers on RPS, and I like it because it allows me to make fun of the game without the risk of having to play it or otherwise take it seriously. Bonus!

The latest video covers one of F.E.A.R. 3's more exciting features, that of literally being able to go inside a mad woman's mind. Alma, the series' signature crazy psychic, is pregnant, and in her weakened state is losing control of the chilling world that exists in her head (the "Almaverse"). You couldn't make it up! Except the developers actually did make it up. Not sure how to feel about that.

My favourite bit is 1:01, where it is revealed that the Almaverse features men who spend hours hiding in baths, just waiting to jump out and surprise people. My other favourite bit is 1:00, where a creature jumps through a window at the player while on fire, but only because it's followed by the shot at 1:08, where a creature which is on fire jumps at the player through a window.
