should we even care to ask for an English release?

Dascu · Dec 15, 2011

Still kind of confused by this game. Can you even walk around freely?

Edit: You use a real booklet that comes with the game?

Looks like it, yeah. Not sure what to think about the game, though. It looks like it relies too much (almost exclusively?) on AR for my taste.

Yep, looks like AR Fatal Frame.

Boken · Dec 15, 2011

I was excited to see that theres a Fatal Frame game for the 3DS... Now... Not so much.

DCharlie · Dec 15, 2011

i made sure i preordered this today - i'm bound to forget about it and at 3000 yen on amazon it's a no brainer.

Fatal Frame games have a habit of becoming rare/expensive in Japan.

Can you even walk around freely?

where ever you are in real life i assume

There really is space for an awesome AR game and this -might- be it. Fingers crossed.

sakipon · Dec 15, 2011

I've also preordered this and personally I think it looks great. Can't wait to try it out.

mantidor · Dec 15, 2011

While AR is awesome, having to actually move makes much easier to lose the 3D effect, which sucks.

Just play in a haunted mansion when you play this game. Problem solved.

Zornica · Dec 15, 2011

does this game replace your walls with game textures? I´d have prefered a PJ Zero 5, but I'll take this one too. The concept is somehow unique and I don't know anything similar yet. defenitly keeping an eye on it

Fantastical · Dec 15, 2011

This should have been an extra mode in a real Fatal Frame game.

DCharlie · Dec 15, 2011

Same. I want my haunted mansions/villages/whatever dammit!

tell me that after it has ghosts hanging off your god damned ceiling - paranoia might set in !

If they can build a narative that works well with AR, again -i think this could be -immense-

There's another "real" Fatal Frame in development too, I think? At least there was. We haven't heard anything about that second Wii game in quite a while, I believe.

Anyway, this is apparently a budget release, so I'm totally okay with this more "gimmicky" approach. AR certainly is underused and I would love to see a game that makes use of it in a clever way.

radios shipping overview · Dec 15, 2011

Awful. Why would they do this? Gimmick-based software is such a waste of time. I'll wait for the next real FF.

I have a feeling that both of us are going to be waiting a long time, and even longer if it we are counting on it to make it to the NA and EU territories.

Fatal Frame 3DS: YOU are the ghost capturing camera

Nuclear Muffin · Dec 15, 2011

This looks awesome! The 3DS' killer app (for AR)

Too bad that we'll almost certainly not see an English version get released

Rain_ng · Dec 15, 2011

Quite interested in this... I like the idea behind it, but I wonder how the story even works with all the AR stuff. Worried that it would kill the atmosphere of being in a Haunted house by having to flip to the correct page in a booklet in real life. Too bad an English release is pretty much never gonna happen.

ace harding: private eye · Dec 15, 2011

Considering the series has gotten so stale, I'm glad they're trying something different. Hopefully the game content will keep the novelty interesting.

Cow Mengde · Dec 15, 2011

Whatever happened to that Wii Remake or whatever?

DCharlie · Dec 15, 2011

indeed - it's a franchise that could do with a bit of life put back into it. At some point there has to be a game that breaks through that uses AR and given the standard game play mechanic of the "ghost camera" then this takes a familiar idea and dumps it into your surrounds - and with a "book that comes to life" motif?

I'm usually fairly down on this stuff but this -could- work.

marc^o^ · Dec 15, 2011

At the very least, this game will help 3DS show how unique it is vs DS for japanese people still hesitating to upgrade. It will be the first ambitious attempt at AR, which will give it a positive novelty factor. Do we know its launch date?

DCharlie · Dec 15, 2011

preorder i have is for 13th Jan release i think. Will check

Jocchan · Dec 15, 2011

You know, the last video sort of gave me a SH4: The Room vibe. Hard to explain as the games look and play nothing alike, but the concept of having ghosts invade your room is pretty much the same.

Moved to WiiU apparently.

Was on the latest Japanese release list with a TBA date, along with Mario Party 9.

Anyway, this looks awful.
Dat framerate. Par for the course with 3DS AR.

Alexios · Dec 16, 2011

Can't see anything in the first video. The rest look fine enough.

Frame rate is more like par for the course for Fatal Frame, than AR.

Just wondering how meaty an experience it is, if it has any normal exploration etc.

But it should, given that first video, that wasn't just somebody's house in AR mode, lol.

Truth101 · Dec 16, 2011

For some reason I read this Project F-Zero video... =C

LuchaShaq · Dec 16, 2011

Read title as project F-Zero for 3ds and actually thought I'd finally have a reason to find someone to borrow one from.

IAmtheFMan · Dec 16, 2011

Fatal Frame V for the Wii U better make it out here in the U.S. The system was almost tailor-made for that...

indigo-cyclops · Dec 16, 2011

I feel like this series is fading into obscurity...

If you're thinking of the Fatal Frame 2 remake that's for Wii, and is probably coming out in Japan sometime in the first quarter.

Wouldn't surprise me if there's a Fatal Frame 5 further down the road though.

plainr_ · Dec 16, 2011

Awesome. I really hope AR games take off.

â Narayan · Dec 16, 2011

It would be cool if you could play this in the dark.

In the US, definitely, and it started happening with the PS2 versions. First one sold alright (if I recall) and it was downhill from there.

In Japan, FF IV is the best-selling entry in the series.

Edit: Did a check and Fatal Frame 2 was the best-selling in the US, then there was a sharp drop with Fatal Frame 3. But even at their height we're only talking sales of less than 70k.

Galactic Fork · Dec 16, 2011

I was going to post something about the US AR ghost hunting game, and while I was looking for the name I found a trailer for it. After I finished throwing up I decided not to compare the two at all.
