Fatal Frame Xtreme Shrine Volleyball incoming.

 

[SixMachine]

Do you not know what a cameo is?

Obviously I don't, I just like to play six degrees of Kevin Bacon with my videogames.

 

[massoluk]

Ayane is Tecmo Koei's Charizard. Damn the bias, I want Tina.

 

[Kouriozan]

"4) Wetness - From getting wet; displayed in the wetness meter on the bottom right. Wetness increases damage, but also encounter rate."

LOL

Also increase sexyness

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

I'm okay with this.

 

[Aostia]

I like the gameplay mechanics described. Not so much the booby obsession..

 

[Raiho]

Well reading the description, it seems that the reason Ayane is there because she attempted suicide, which makes much more sense for her than Kasumi, since she isn't portrayed as that dark (well if you just avoid thinking about killing 1000 ninjas during gameplay in Razor's Edge). The only other person it would make sense would be Momiji, since she is a shrine maiden and exorcising spirits comes with the territory with that job.

Another thought is, how do ghosts even catch her? Part of the difficulty in Fatal Frame games is that these girls run with that slow exaggerated girly gait, but Ayane flips around and runs off walls. I hope her run animation isn't like the other girls, even if they tone her down a lot.

I might be misreading your post, but Ayane doesn't attempt suicide in this game. The person she is perusing, Tsumugi Katashina, is the one that attempted suicide. I can understand it being confusing because Tsumugi and Ayane have very similar childhoods in the story.

It appears Ayane won't be using her awesome ninja mobility because she's injured at the beginning of her story.

I really can't imagine an american girl like her in Fatal Frame, even with a Ghostbusters outfit

Yea I just read that wrong, because right above it names the new character. You would think a ninja would carry an elixir or two, since they are suppose to be prepared, she is suppose to regenerate health out of combat anyways!

 

[kunonabi]

ugh, freaking hate Ayane. Only DoA character worse than Kasumi.

 

[Sub_Level]

I didnt know I wanted this but upon deep meditation yes the DOA girls are perfect for survival horror.

She's sporting some funky tattoos on her back in this game. She might be cursed or something of the sort.

 

[walnuts]

I came here just to see some pics of her but nothing...

Can't believe this.

Scans are not allowed, but some seconds in google are.
I'm sure we'll get official screens and a trailer soon anyway.

 

[UrbanDandy]

Famitsu scans are banned here.

I saw the scan from another site; wasn't good, to be honest.

 

[killatopak]

Love this. Can't get hyped enough for this game.

 

[Accoun]

Ayane should be in every game.

I want a game where you could play as both DOA/NG Ayane and Ayame from Tenchu. :-/

 

[Mesharey]

The game is better now. <3

 

[Inuhanyou]

Seems like DOA and Ninja Gaiden is everywhere these days! Not that i'm complaining. But yeah some people have said Ayane should be killing those fucking ghosts instead of running away and i agree. She's killed demons and man alike, why should she run from a damn ghost? Its like Ryu running from a dumbass ghost instead of doing some Ninja shit and destroying the thing.

Also..does that mean the main characters in this game will be in DOA5 for PS4?

 

[Hero of Legend]

Why unveil this 2 days from release?

Umm, I don't think it'd be allowed, depends on what Nintendo's deal with the series and each new game is.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

To get hype?

 

[Hero of Legend]

To get hype?

Pretty last minute ain't it? A month prior seems more appropriate.

 

[uncredited male]

And with this Ayane edges closer to Tifa in the coveted hentai fan art championship.

 

[sleepykyo]

Ayane comes from Team Ninja's Hayashi, who requested she be in the game. Everyone came up with ideas and decided not to make it a standard bonus, but make a proper episode out of it. You get to enjoy sneaking around, with a different weapon. Since it's DoA, they've naturally made sure to bring out her beauty and sexiness. They spent a lot of time adjusting things like the wobble of her chest. Team Ninja gave them lots of advice.

So Ayane is poochie and Hayashi is Homer?

 

[random25]

I guess the special play mode for Ayane

Spoiler

plus the fanservice

makes FF5 much better.

 

[Scrooge McDuck]

Some of the things said in that interview are just off-putting. I understand they're just guys having fun, but sheesh.

 

[EastOfEden]

Wow, that's really weird. And they picked one of the worst DOA characters (IMO) to boot. Oh well.

Can't believe it's out in 2 days in Japan!

 

[SerTapTap]

It's pretty weird, hope it doesn't affect game design too much. I recall finding the Gothic Lolita outfit a bit strange in Fatal Frame 2, but it was rather tame and quite difficult to unlock and didn't have any real impact on the game.

She seems to be hurt or something, there's something on her back.

 

[Fiktion]

Saw the scans. Looking good. Nice tattoos.

 

[Man God]

this is sad the WiiU never got DOA

It's kind of getting hilarious at this point.

Team Ninja: We will sex up your games, including this Zelda spinoff.

Nintendo: What about DOA?

Team Ninja:...How about we sex up Fatal Frame instead?

 

[ohlawd]

darn, Ayane's wearing pants.

 

[Dantis]

Eurgh. Not impressed with this.

Also, Kikuchi is a bit of a creep. I wish they'd leave Shibata to just do his own thing, though I think the games would be a bit more mad if they did.

 

[raven777]

more at famitsu

 

[HawthorneKitty]

A-amazing.

 

[Mesharey]

Looks good, I'm interested now. :3

 

[eyeball_kid]

Tacky and distracting. Might as well put the Harlem Globetrotters and Elvira in there too.

Isn't it optional ?

 

[TheMoon]

Isn't it optional ?

Yes, post-game bonus episode. I wish people would actually read the thing.

You're not gonna be running around the place, all immersed in the story and suddenly go "ayo! ayane! whattup, beeyatch! sho me dem tittays! and run from my ghosts! woo!"

I don't see why this stuff has to sour people on the main game.
