I'm pretty stoked for this, particularly to have it on PC. This was a gem on Wii U that pretty much everyone skipped, so it's nice to see it get a second chance.

Weird to have the Japanese voice overlay in the trailer while in-game they're using English.

 

[rubenburgt]

So... will this game be censored as well?

 

[SSfox]

Price?

 

[Mr Hyde]

Getting the Switch version if launches physically.

 

[DGrayson]

Did this have Wii U gamepad features that will be cut from this version?

 

[Saint Boot]

Digital only? That's a nope for me.

 

[Mithos]

Did this have Wii U gamepad features that will be cut from this version?

You used the gamepad as a camera in the Wii U version, that is most definitely removed, and made more traditional (I assume, never played the non Nintendo versions)

 

[cireza]

Doesn't look like there is much to see here. I will stick with my Wii U version.

The gamepad acted like the camera. They chose a really poor implementation of it though that undercut all the possible benefits and interesting functionality so going back to standard FF controls probably won't be much of a downgrade.

The original bonus costumes are still absent so the game is probably still censored. Pretty shitty especially following Famicom Detective club's censorship.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Any new content, costumes or nah?

I wanna support the franchise so I'll probably double dip on Switch and PS4/PS5.

 

[CapnAmaricrunch]

perfect steam deck game

Much like the previous Ninja Gaiden collection, I might have been open to purchasing a domestic, physical release, but I have no interest in getting this digitally and not sure I'm willing to import the Asia-region version (or JP version, assuming Fatal Frame follows in the same suit as the NG collection).

For those interested, the Japanese website (link) confirms the two swimsuits from the Wii U version are not in the game, and--as could be expected--the US website (link) confirms the Samus and Zelda costumes are also not in the game. On the other hand, both female characters do have a swimsuit costume listed (but not shown) in the "New Elements" section of the website (link; this info is the same on the both the English & JP sites).

I suppose the question raised is does the inclusion of new swimsuit costumes mean the game will skew closer to the original JP release on Wii U, rather than the Western version that altered certain scenes? For the moment, I'm finding myself not overly annoyed by the lack of the two Wii U costumes, but Koei Tecmo deciding again not to publish physical versions in the West will probably keep me from supporting this port.

Ooh, I’m soo exited for this game! Can’t wait until October!

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

Looks great!!! I'm hoping PS5 version gets graphical enhancements (4K HDR)

I don't see how. The Gamepad is basically the camera, so it can't be any more convenient. It makes it extremely easy to aim and rotate.

The few gameplay part of the trailer already show that rotating is not as smooth and accurate, as it is obviously done with buttons.

 

[RoyalLaFlame]

I gotta say, the trailer was pretty weird but the game looks super good.

Luckily I can buy the physical version here woooohooooo

 

[jeffyjaixx]

No physical edition in North America?

 

[EDMIX]

No physical edition in North America?

oh wow really?

I know its a nitche game but shit, at least give some physical editions.

[Ulysses 31]

website eShop showing it for 40 Euro.

Can't buy yet though.

 

[Punished Miku]

oh wow really?

I had to import NG Master Collection even, which is much bigger than Fatal Frame. Tecmo must be trying to make some easy money on digital games lately.

 

[Aenima]

Would have bought this day 1 for PS5 if there was a physical version. Will buy it later once the price drops.
Last Fatal Frame game i played was back on the PS2.
