Video: Fatal Frame IV Gameplay
Above we've got a brief look at some gameplay for the upcoming Wii horror title Fatal Frame IV: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse. Despite coming from maverick game studio Grasshopper, it looks like the fundamentals are unchanged from the rest of the series: freaky ghost pops out, do a good job taking its picture and it leaves you alone or goes up to heaven, whatever happens to spirits once you commit them to film. There's some Wii-motion when the ghost grabs onto the character, but otherwise fans will be in very familiar territory.
I remember hearing about Fatal Frame years ago and thinking, "You take pictures of ghosts? That sounds relaxing." I played it for about 15 minutes before I made my roommate take over while I turned on all the lights and tried to get in touch with Zelda Rubinstein from Poltergeist.
The game was just released in Japan last week, and no American date has been set. Tecmo points to Nintendo, Nintendo shrugs and wants to tell you about Frisbee and sharpening pencils with a sword. It's all very complicated.







girl is all shy n'shit.
Excellent! I can't wait to get my hands on this one. :3
While I didn't expect gameplay to change all that much, the game looks great. Hopefully we get a US date soon.
