New Fatal Frame IV Trailer And Details
Thanks to the hard work of RawMeatCowboy over at GoNintendo we have a a new Fatla Frame IV trailer and some details on the upcoming game. despite the fact that Nintendo seems to know nothing about the upcoming title, I am really looking forward to it. Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly was not only the best game in the Fatal Frame series but a standout title in the survival horror genre. Hopefully NIntendo and Tecmo will get their stories straight (Tecmo points to Nintendo for any info on the North American version of the game) and we will hear something about a North American release sooner rather than later.
Make the jump to check out a list of game details!
- takes place on Rougetsutou island (ficitional)
- setting is a half-western half-Japanese hotel. Hotel was previously a sanatorium.
- mystical ceremony was performed every 10 years to worship the moon, but ceremonies stopped for unknown reasons
- 5 young girls were abducted and taken to the island, but were recovered by a detective. None of the girls remember what happened on the island
- story takes place several years later when 3 girls return to the island to try and figure out what happened
- 3 girls are the main characters
- subtitle "Mask of the Lunar Eclipse" refers to a mask used during the ritual that erases memories
- concept remains the same as the rest of the series, but gameplay has been 'dramatically improved'
- Move the character with the nunchuk, direct the flashlight with the remote
- pointer is not used, just the motions of moving a flashlight
- Third Person, behind-the-back camera
- walk/run while moving the flashlight around
- eastern and western influences were used because they better flow with the type of camera, and make the game flow better
- character has been sped up, walks more quickly. This is due to complaints about earlier installments in the series
- vibration, Wiimote speaker used to further enhance the experience
- Nintendo/Grasshopper/Tecmo collaboration worked well, but it was hard to take into account all the differing opinions.
- full of bonus content
- dev team says this is easily the best entry in the series

Why do so many people think Fatal Frame 2 was the best in the series. I thought it was the most boring and had the least amount of jumps and scares. *shrugs* Anyway, I'm looking foward to this one!
My main problem with the Fatal Frame games that I've played (maybe two hours of #2, and maybe 15 minutes of #1) is that while the environments are all scary and atmospheric, and you're scared to death as a ghost jumps out to kill you, when you bring your camera up, center the shot and pull the trigger, you get a big **BLAM** FATAL FRAME!!! +1000 POINTS!!! and it totally destroys the atmosphere. For me, anyway. If they really just tone down the picture-shooting aspects of it, I'd be way more into the games.
