Fatal Frame / Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water |OT| Pokémon Snap U: After Dark

I've heard people say that camera angles in the Wiimake of 2 were removed/altered so that may have happened here as well. That could just be a load of bull though.

I watched first few chapters of Japanese version, camera angles looked pretty much the same.

Seems like they only changed 2 things in localized version: replace costumes and remove boobs jiggle.

Limited Edition was just dispatched from the Nintendo store. Earlier than expected, should have the game a few days before release here.

According to some gamefaqs poster the wetness effect was also toned down for the western release, can anyone confirm/ deny if that's true?

Found my 360 slim. Replaying FF1 now. (Asked for black water for birthday so we'll see what happens on Friday) The blind woman ghost on night 2 needs to go.

I feel like most people playing V refuse to use better film and rarely if ever use lenses which will make the encounters super quick. Like tasty Fatal Frame Shutter Crushes.

The older games sort of scared people from using film especially the first one. It isn't anymore since you can buy it now but old habits die hard I guess. Project X Zone had a similar issue with people about how fights were but if you were aggressive with your item use the fights went much quicker.

@shadow2810

what about the fade out at the end of the flashback? The comparison video made it seem like the western version faded out quicker than the Japanese one.

Which flashback? If you are talking about one in the costumes comparison vid, then it's just faded out effect added by uploader.

Is the game any good guys? This thread is a bit confusing. I've never played a game in the series and I might bite on the retail copy this Friday.

I've personally enjoyed it so far, but I'm a big fan of the series to begin with. I'm up to the sixth mission and the atmosphere and lore have me hooked. It's very slow moving and feels like classic survival horror, which means a lot of backtracking -- and I mean a lot. But if you like creepy Japanese supernatural stuff, like The Ring and The Grudge, it would be up your alley. It's a good game, but nowhere near the glory of Fatal Frame 2. If you can get yourself a copy of that I'd highly recommend it, but I do recommend this game as well :)
 
My psychical edition was dispatched today and the estimated delivery time is the 29th.

Mine also went out yesterday from the official store, quotes 'on or before' the 29th. I've received deliveries a few days early from Nintendo in the past, so keeping my fingers crossed.

Did any of you get a tracking number with your Nintendo store orders?

I didn't, strange as its usually next day by Yodel on something like this. I wonder if they've stopped using Yodel and have sent them by Royal Mail, would explain the Monday dispatch. My MewTwo Amiibo came by Royal Mail last week

From the dispatch mail: "As you selected an untracked delivery service, please note that we are not be able to monitor the delivery of your item(s) once they have been dispatched."

I don't think you could choose an option other than 'free delivery'...

Yeah I don't think you can. Same for Xenoblade limited edition.

Usually they send it with a courier company. I suppose they must be cheaping out and using Royal Mail 2nd Class but dispatching it earlier.

I didn't realize I have the option to play this like older Fatal Frames! That's going to make playing with my friends more interesting since they won't be staring at a blue rectangle.

I'd go

2 Wii > 5 > 3 > 1

with the sole reason I like 2 and 5's gameplay much better. I can handle the old school tank controls but I'd rather not to. I've never played OG 2 and 4.

OG Fatal Frame 2 is one of my favorite horror games I really wish I could legally experience the remake.

Anyone else notice during the credits that NOE is the one that translated the game not the treehouse o.0
Nintendo of America did the bare minimum for this game. Not only did they not translate it themselves [from this information], but they couldn't even give us a physical version.

Yes, I'm still upset about that. :/

Please elaborate. Do you mean just not using the motion controls?

it's a pity for 4th, because to me is the best episode.
for me:

4 > 5 > 2Wii > 3 > 1 >>>>>>>> 3DS spinoff

My limited edition arrived :D Gotta admit I'm really impressed with how quick and painless ordering from Nintendo was.

The steelbook and artbook is lovely.

LE is here!

Steelbook is nice (there is a title on the spine, thank god), much better than the regular box, which is plagued by USK logos. The art book is small but it has some nice character design and concept art. The poster and photos are bit megh but whatever. It's a nice package overall though.

Will give it a play later tonight.

Do you live down the road from me or something? haha
 
I was half asleep at the time but i think it was just the regular mail man. Didn't ask me to sign or anything and the order didn't have a tracking number.

Well my postman strolled on by, but larger packages usually arrive separately by delivery van if it's a Royal Mail/Parcelforce delivery here in the UK... so I'll keep my fingers crossed for today.

I haven't looked hard enough but find me a place where it won't cost me 95 CDN to import 4 :p

that could be hard!
I remember having imported it from Playasia back in the day, exploiting the Wii homebrew channel with the English patch...good ol' days!
 
So probably a stupid question, but I am on Drop 3 and it's asking me to match a photo of the shutter with the key.

Problem is I don't already have a photo of it.

I'm confused on what I need to do.

Just got an email saying it's on its way, should be here tomorrow!

Now to actually find time to play it this weekend :/

Not actually that important
Goddamn so hard to resist until the 30th to see if I like the game enough to keep it via the trial and am ok with not making a 100€ of profit off it selling it... man the steelbook is fuckin fantastic

The wording on the spine is the wrong way around though -_-

Damn you other Europe!

EDIT - The spine thing is even more annoying because the regular case has it the right way around. -_-

Eh, that's happening all over my GCN collection since it's a mix of PAL and NTSC. Looks like pure chaos. :D

It's better than the Majora's Mask steelbook which didn't even have a title on the spine... At least the spine is symmetrical in construction so you can just flip it and it will look right on the shelf.

First Drop done.

So far so spooky...

...but not that scary.
The subtle ghost apparitions are great of course, like when you just catch a glimpse of a ghost while exploring but obviously the camera obscura and combat is kind of cheesy by nature.

Will play more tomorrow night...
