Hells yeah. Please bring this to NA.

I do want this...that I do.

I enjoyed the first Fatal Frame and have been waiting forever for a sequel but I don't have a Wii U. :/

Would've loved to have seen this made from the ground up on PS4.

Don't Nintendo co-own the IP? Or was that just a lot of confusion?

Anyway, as someone who's never played the FF games before. What would be a good way to describe them? Also what's a good one to play? I live in the UK.

I believe they have some ownership in the titles produced on their platforms, but not to the IP as a whole.

Except it's not going to come over here.

Annnnnnd i just bought Fatal Frame 4! Dear wallet please understand...

I'm curious to see this new game!

Ever seen a Japanese ghost movie where the ghosts creep/float around in a very creepy way? If so, imagine such a movie and now you're the main character, a scared girl. You're armed with a flashlight, searching for clues to escape the town/building with all the spirits. The only way to destroy a ghost is to photograph them with the Camera Obscura. So you'll need to collect roles of film for ammo. Seriously, it's a really creepy series.

You're in the UK and if you have a Wii, Project Zero II (Fatal Frame's name in Europe) received a remake two years ago. Maybe you can find a cheap copy? Fans of the series kind of agree that the second one is the best.

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

I'll show up for this one for sure.

 

[Terrell]

Why no footage... They should localize this and hype it up at E3, but it's Nintendo, so even if there's a localisation there's gonna be radio silence except for a minor mention in some Nintendo EU Direct which no one watches, one week before release.
Also, I can only hope gamepad is optional. Motion controls can be amazing (Silent Hill Wii), but the gamepad is just awful for it. Shit is way too bulky to move around (I was always using the stick in ZombiU instead) and the difference in image quality ruins the atmosphere anyway. Also, the Wiimote was equally obvious and yet they got the controls in Project Zero Wii all wrong too.

Equally obvious?!

You're trying too hard to bring the hate, dude. It's kinda sad.

[Aostia]

can't stop thinking about it.
I'm so happy: it was one of the first things I imagined about the Gamepad, as I stated also here:

[NoirVisage]

That rumour of Nintendo buying the Fatal Frame IP turned out to be completely false, right? Weird relationship that the companies have with this IP.

They don't like profit that's for sure since everybody that cares but not enough to buy a wiiu will be watching it on youtube.

I think there's some truth to a relationship, maybe an exclusivity thing, would have been a great japanese venture into vr gaming but at least they'll have the gamepad to..yeah, I'm sure they'll figure it out.

 

[canocha]

I wonder if this is going to be at e3!

 

[Koppai]

I wonder if this is going to be at e3!

The Wii U needs all the games it can get. I dont see Nintendo skipping it now.

 

[Hero of Legend]

The guy who first brought up the JP 3rd-party exclusive says FF isn't it.

Makes sense as he said it was on the level of Bayo 2 and FF had obvious precedent.

Well, that's good to know. Not because I'm not excited for Fatal Frame (I totally am), but because I just wanna believe that Nintendo's gonna ride this motherfucker out with as much cool shit as they can.

So that's still a thing?

Anyway, I wonder if the novel, manga, and film will come overseas if the game is localized.

Nah, it should have a better chance than the last couple in the series. The system needs all the games it can get, and localizing this shouldn't be very expensive overall. If they really want to cheap out, they can make it a digital only release in the west.

 

[jimi_dini]

/thread

I have the feeling that they will release it here.

Spoiler

Europe + Japan only lol

 

[ShockingAlberto]

They released Spirit Camera because the 3DS needed games.

I'll take a wait and see approach on this. They might do it, I'm not terribly optimistic, but disappointment isn't guaranteed.

 

[Stratostar]

Day 1.

Spoiler

if it comes to NA, that is

[Teknoman]

After Tomodachi LIfe, all bets are off when it comes to localization.

You would have thought that was the case after Sin and Punishment 2.

for people who haven't played part 2 on wii yet, it's pretty cheap atm (22€+shipping)

If you live in europe or own a modded wii, there is no reason not to own it.

Yeah, basically it's the anti-COD:
* you're a defenseless schoolgirl
* you have no weapons except for a camera
* you walk very slowly
* no multiplayer

I never get scared by videogames, at all, but Fatal Frame II:Crimson Butterfly (the director's cut on the OG xbox) freaked me out. So much so that I never finished it.

Then it's a guarantee then that this will go westward

So apparently if you buy a ticket for the movie you should receive a clear file with pics of the main characters from the movie and from the games. The girl at the center of the picture below should be Fatal Frame 5 main character.

[Hero of Legend]

Aren't each of the games themed after a color? Obviously FF2 was red, but I remember FF4 being yellow.

So FF5 is blue? What was FF1 and FF3?

 

[Riki]

Her outfit is certainly... small...

was just going to make thread asking if we will get a trailer by E3
whoops meant TGS

 

[Sammy Samusu]

FF2 and FF4 were so good, I need this as soon as possible!

 

[Black Soma]

I'm guessing it will appear at some point in a Nintendo Direct or Famitsu.

Not really. Or... actually I don't remember too well, but I don't think so. FF3 was kinda bluish too.

Nice. Kinda sad there wasn't an e3 trailer for this game. FF2 was so good.

whoops, my mind must have been somewhere else, I meant TGS

Take my monies, all of it.

I'm sad that there is no chance for Mamiko Noto.

 

[ArcaneFreeze]

Can't wait for the first game trailer for this

 

[Tamanator]

Nintendo doesn't generally do TGS, though of course Tecmo Koei may show it off independently.
I'm eagerly anticipating this game, which is strange considering I still have a sealed copy of Project Zero 2 Wii Edition in my draw.

 

[Dantis]

So excited for this. I hope they show it soon.

 

[mugwhump]

Sad this didn't show up at E3. Guess they just started development.

 

[Busaiku]

More likely that it's not coming to the US.

 

[Black Soma]

It will probably come to europe though.

 

[random25]

Probably because of the movie tie-in.
