Next Fatal Frame for the Wii!!
- Thread starter flipping_heck
- Start date
I can't really give a too much elaborate opinion about fatal frame: The game scared the shit out of me so I couldn't play further than 1 hour. Then again, I am a coward when it comes to terror games in general.
However, lots of friends of mine are in love with the game. As far as I know:
- Its history is based on real facts: it revolves around old (and very, very gory) Japanese shinto rituals and a wealthy family that kept practicing them until the XIXth century in their huge mansion. The mansion still exist, and people say that it is haunted. However, haunted or not, several persons have already dissappeared there and the Japanese goverment have precinted the area. Spookie stuff.
- It has decent controls and an interesting game mechanic, even if it is not its strong point
- It is quite plot heavy, and it is quite intrincate and elaborate.
- It has a crapton of endings, which encourages replying in a bad way (you need to get most of the endings in order to understand just what the hell happened)

It's a lot cooler/scarier than it sounds.
I hate to be a dissenter, I like the Wii and I like Fatal Frame. But I'm not sold on this. It's interesting news to be sure but I need to see where they are going with this.

Can the new dev keep the game as scary as the originals though? That would be my question.
I take it the story for this one would be written by someone at Tecmo

As mentioned previously, they did Michigan: Report From Hell, a game where you play as a cameraman filming a supernatural event and are scored based on photographing horrific scenes. It's a lighthearted game compared to Fatal Frame (mostly due to the upskirt scenes and awful script), but still, it's as close a match as you'll get outside of the likes of Team Silent, but they were never in the running for this anyway.
I think this kind of developer/franchise crossover is a good thing anyway. Certainly the likes of Naughty Dog or Insomniac could actually do something progressive with 3D Sonic, and it still baffles me that Kojima never followed up on his claim to David Jaffe that the God of War team should do Castlevania.

Now make Pokemon Snap 2.

You missed 2. The best one.
And I don't think Wiimote controls would bring anything to the table in terms of the genre. Better gameplay doesn't make things more scary. It actually does the opposite if you think about RE4. RE4 wasn't just the same scary as RE use to be.

As I said way before in this thread (hell people, read the thread, I do it) I have played Michigan, which gives me reason enough for not trusting Grasshopper immediately with this.
The only Grasshopper games I have not played that I know are The Silver Case and Flower, Sun and Rain. None of those titles has the tone of Fatal Frame or anything that could benefit the series. So I will wait and check what they manage to do, and I really hope it´s good as they are a really talented team.
so, it seems nintendo will get its silent hill killer (to call it somehow). Good news for them.
Now, if killer 7 was scary without even trying, this fatal frame will scare us all shitless.
I wonder why developers think that the wii strengths are precisely party-mini-games (you know them) and VERY dark, horror games (RE:UC, Manhunt 2, fatal frame... WTF )
its like the Wii is a Bipolar console, :lol.
Actually, to name your console "Wii" is already scary.

Survival horror mini-game collection confirmed?sphinx said:
I usually don't whine about the Wii hardware, but if there's any genre that benefits from improved graphics, it's the horror genre. And that's the reason why I find this news disappointing. Add to that my love for horror games, and Fatal Frame/Project Zero as one of my favorite series in the genre. I was really hoping to see what Fatal Frame could look like on 360/PS3. :/
But with how things are, perhaps I shouldn't complain too much. At least it's another horror game (there aren't that many around these days), and I was even beginning to doubt we would see another Fatal Frame game at all. And it's by Grasshopper, which is cool.

I love how people come in here to bitch about the game not being on their HD console of choice.
Jeeze people, if the Wii doesn't get good games, you bitch. If it does get a good game, you bitch.
What the FUCK? : /

For you guys wii should never exist right??its alright you can say it.....gently.....:lol
Bluemercury said:
If you mean the people who always jump in with "This should be on the Wii!" anytime a new PS3/Xbox 360 game is announced, I hate those people.
Bluemercury said:
I love the Wii, and it certainly should exist, but I'm starting to hate how it is ending up with games that should be in beautiful HD with standard control on other consoles.

More like lord almighty if somebody around here says they wish a game was for Wii in a PS3/360 announcement thread. It goes both ways, guys. The moral is: crying is annoying and best left for separate threads or, preferably, the Backspace key.

I don't understand...if u liked this gen's FF game's I don't see how a Wii sequel could be dissapointing, seeing as how it'll look at the very least the same (but more than likely better) than the previous ones
