Hopefully Fatal Frame's 1-3 will be made available (Wii-makes). I've only ever played friends copies of the first two, which are long since sold and I hate only having a portion of a series.
Awesome! I loved the games on PS2 and am very happy that a new one is coming. Flashlight controls might be decent with the Wiimote, but I imagine it'll be used more for camera-shooting purposes.
It'd be good if they made the camera controls reeeeeeeeeeeally sensitive so it magnifies every shake of your hand and raises the tension moreso... Then a ghost leaps out and you have to keep your nerve and a steady aim shooting a picture of it as it slowly looms towards you. They could even make the sensitivity part of the upgrade system.

I think it got delayed to a June 2008 release. Pretty weird considering this was planned for a December 2007 release. The director, Keisuke Kikuchi (like Fatal Frame 4), said he was planning to upgrade the graphics a bit. Maybe they're actually putting some work into it?farnham said:
I'm presuming everyone else here only plays FF/PZ games with all the lights off at night and the volume at a decent level too? It's the only way really, if you want to actually feel the fear and all that.
The rope maidens still haunt me. :|
I didn't get 3, mainly because I never finished 2. I'll still probably get this though.

Another kiddy non-game from Nintendo?
No thanks.
No thanks.
Wow, published by Nintendo? That came outta no where.
A result for Nintendo without a doubt and a sound move on their behalf. The interesting part of the whole story for me is that Tecmo are allowing Nintendo to publish the game themselves.
Coupling this news with Microsoft publishing Ninja Gaiden2 for Tecmo and we see an interesting pattern emerge.
Perhaps Tecmo are on the bidding block, or they think it makes more financial sense to let the console manufacturer publish the game and then have them take a percentage of sales as a fee much like the film distribution model.
Either way, it's an interesting model for an exclusive.
Hmmmm. Interesting.

Tecmo degrading to developer only?

Shooooooot...
...if anything Nintendo needs to be distributing MORE of said money hats. Although we had some confirmation on FF4 quite some time ago (as mentioned before) visual confirmation is certainly all the more sweeter especially with the level of collaboration going on with the project.
Im surprised at all the moaning!
Where were you guys when Fatal Frame 2 DC (Xbox) and Fatal Frame 3 (PS2) were released? I made a FF3 thread when the game was released. The thing did not reach 2 pages.
If anything, this is probably the first time the series have gotten this much attention.

Because Nintendo shouldn't be allowed to get the game, duh.
Hmm, are those actual game shots? They generally release CG teasers for these games before any in game stuff, so I'm thinking no. If those were realtime, however, consider me ultra blown away as they would be 100x beyond anything else on the Wii.
Of course, they could have taken the RE:Remake option here...

I've played and finished all three games. Loved them (3 was actually my favorite, to be honest).

Really? Im quite sure there was an excellent game there but I couldnt stand all the backtracking. I thought it was worse than in Silent Hill 4, where you backtracked the whole game for the second half.
The story and CG were top notch from what I saw.
Fatal Frame II (Xbox version) is my favorite. The addition of the FPV was the best thing that ever happened to the series. It made so much scarier AND wouldnt make you feel like you were walking slower than a turtle. I was quite bummed when it was removed in FF3.

this sounds more interesting though, I expect a thread when its release. o.ointhezone said:

Where did I imply that there was something wrong with that? I never even made mention to even allude to that assertion. I'm merely suggesting that if Nintendo had to go all moneyhats to get a game like this, I'd like to see more ambitious projects coming to Wii even if it takes more moneyhatting to do so.
If the game were multiplatform, I'd have no problem so long as I get my Wii fix.
Only the first two are on the Xbox.TheWolf said:
If survival horror is your thing, you'll most likely love the Fatal Frame games. The reversed control sticks in Fatal Frame 1 (PS2 version, dunno if the Xbox version offered an option to change it) still gets me every time I pick it up, but that's really the only negative I can think of.

Resident Crossing
A mix between Resident Evil and Animal Crossing.
I never played any Fatal Frame game but I have to see that I'm interested in this one for a number of reason's:
- Even though I absolutely hated the gameplay of Killer7, No More Heroes is an enjoyable enough experience to redeem Grasshopper and Suda 51 for me personally.
- Nintendo is publishing? It's nice to see that Nintendo isn't afraid of actually publishing Mature-rated games themselves instead of just giving the third parties the risk of doing so. I've always been a firm believe that in order to expand the Wii's demographic, Nintendo is going to have to make all the major moves for third-parties before they can cash-in too. Also, it'll be nice to see what Grasshopper can do with a bigger bankroll behind the development of one of their games.
