Which is why I'm surprised we haven't had them rereleased on the Switch. Like we got 4 and 5 released and the Spyro and Crash trilogies. You'd figure Nintendo would want to stake claim on the original trilogy to confirm "Fatal Frame" as a Nintendo IP. Doesn't really need anything more than a port. A graphics upscale at most.

Regarding the reincarnation theory in Fatal Frame 1, I think you underestimate exactly how prevalent reincarnation is in Japanese Shinto and Buddhist mythology. I'm pretty certain that for the intended audience, there's no doubt that Mafuyu is the reincarnation of the maiden's lover. For comparison, notice how we never need to have an exposition dump in The Matrix trilogy to understand the concept that Neo is an allegory for Jesus. It's part of the expected cultural framework.

Nice review as always. Just gonna point this out about double voweled words (ae, ao, oo, ii, ie, etc) in Japanese. With the exception of ai, ei, oi, uu, the vowels are pronounced separately, especially if the words are just vowels. Eg. "Ai" is one sound (aye), "Ie" is two (ee-eh). So "Yae" (an actual Japanese name) is pronounced Yah-eh. Double ii, uu, oo is also verbalised with a longer vowel, or in some instances, with a distinct double vowel sound (Eg. "ii" = Ee-ee). Words with -yu (Ryu, like in Street Fighter) is also a single sound, in this case the same way you would say "view" (so, Riew). Kyushu = Kiew-shoe. Hope that helps.

Fatal Frame 3 is such a mood man, and the perfect closer to the trilogy of ps 2 games. Something about it just felt real personal to me with the way it explored survivors guilt. The way your real life and the dream start to bleed together and just generally the quiet melancholic feel of it all. Even before your home starts getting haunted everything about it feels so sterile and cold, so still. Like its frozen in time. Its perfect for a set of protagonists stuck in their trauma.

Agree that the twin ghost encounter was peak ff2 experience. Sad part was that when Sae, the weaker twin paralleling Mayu, tripped, it wasn't an accident but was intentional. Feeling that if both of them escaped they would drift apart, she would rather go through the ritual with Yae so that their souls could be one but sadly, Yae didn't hear her fall so she ran and left her behind. It's also quite sad that, despite Sae having the resolve to die, was for her death to in the end, be meaningless since their village got cursed anyway.

Awesome coverage of the original trilogy. FF1 was my first horror game that I finished and made me such a huge fan ever since. I absolutely lost it when they announced the remaster for 4 because it hadn't been localized in years and never thought I'd see the day of it being playable on PS. With 5 being remastered first, it felt awesome being able to play all the mainline games on PS after so long. FF2 had been my favorite for the longest time because it felt like they found the right mixture of atmosphere, lore, and combat to make it memorable. Also, the ending songs by Tsuki Amano were always amazing.

You can kind of see a distortion effect around them but the models would only intermittently actually be visible I didn't know this. My whole playthrough I thought you just weren't supposed to clearly see the ghosts, cause ghosts. I played the whole game not actually being physically able to see the ghosts. It unironically made fatal frame one of the tensest gaming experiences of my life.

This was one of those franchises that by all logic, should not have been as successful as it was in Europe and North America. It's unapologetically Japanese look and concepts to its horror should have flopped. Yet, it succeeded due to good timing and well-executed gameplay and environments. First off, it came out during the golden era of survival horror. This was when we pretty much figured the basics of how to do a 3D game and use dual analog controllers and could focus on other things like aesthetics and voice acting. And we had a good library of successful titles during the Playstation/N64 era of which to draw inspiration on how to make a scary game. Yet, there was still a tolerance for experimentation and creativity, so a unique concept like this was far more accepted. But more importantly, it also came out during the time when Japanese Horror was really taking off in the west. Successful films like The Ring and the Grudge would teach Western audiences to be actually be scared of, as opposed to being confused by, the woman dressed in white with long black hair over her face. Even with all this going for it, there was still a lack of confidence in its success. The fact they changed up Miku's design for the US release. And while it did achieve cult classic status, it wasn't as a heavy of a hitter as Resident Evil and Silent Hill, which were actually made for Western Audiences. But if you went to any top ten list of that time, you would see this one on the top for scariest games.

FF3 is my favorite in the series and probably my favorite horror game, period. The criticisms here are very fair and valid, but after 2 I really liked the improvements in scariness, gameplay and difficulty, and on top of that the game's a master class in playing with your expectations. It's so, so good. 4 is a bit of a step down, it is still very scary at times and the gameplay is the tensest and most fast paced it's been... but on motion controls. I have played through 2, 3 and 4 and they all suffer from some padding which generally makes the last fifth a bit weaker.

Excellent trilogy with my favourite survival horror combat. Though to me the first game is without a doubt the best one (despite some minor gripes with the controls). It has the best structure, pacing, environments, enemies and the most challenging and fun combat. Second game feels extremely easy (and hence boring and tedious), that's my main issue, and while it has some cool locations, some feel like a chore to go through (and you can spend an hour at a location which you actually have to go later and can't advance anything now, so you essentially wasted an hour doing nothing). Third game is alright but I find the Manor of Sleep relatively boring compared to what was in the previous games (home sections are dope though). I've played through the fourth game as well, its mediocre at best imo, and fifth one seems even worse. We have a cool fan project to look forward to as well - a group of people are making an open source engine re-implementation of the second game for PC, that will open the door for the other PS2 games later too, and easier undubbing, more foreign language translations, and maybe even modding/new content down the line.

The addition of quick-switching between films in FF3 is great, but they _removed_ the infinite film that FF2 had. Type-07 film is still in the game, but it's a finite resource like any other film, which is a huge disappointment. There may be an abundance of Type-07 film to be found throughout the Manner of Sleep, but it _is_ finite regardless. If you're too overexuberant (or just a bad shot and miss too frequently), it's hypothetically possible to run out.

I love ff1 n ff2 fantastic games esp playing with earfones n playing in the dark, love the ghost design in 1 n 2, think ff1 has the best ending tho didnt like 3 very much tho gameplay was good but some aspects didnt like, like a plus game u didnt keep what u picked up no like 1 n 2 etc. Battle mode geez took me from 10pm - 8am 1 nite to complete that was fkn mental. first played them on normal xbox they were better coz u had fatal difficulty which ps2 doesnt have n alot more ghosts to find than ps2 but still great to play, avent played 4 or 5 etc

I love the first one, it's up there with 'Silent Hill 2', but the second one was forgettable (I played it and can't remember anything about it) and every subsequent sequel was boring and I don't think I even bothered finishing the third one. But that first game is a masterpiece!

isn't Project Zero the same concept though?

Project Zero/Fatal Frame is the same but keep in mind that Project Zero is also the name of the Dev Team.

@@MixerRenegade95 I did not know that so thank you. Tecmo were the producers too so I wonder if Team Ninja will finish the series as they are remastering at least the first two as I think we have Fatal Frame 1 and the second is a prologue iirc?

Hey, man! Hoping you can review Alan Wake II. I'm a bit skeptical when it comes to the praise it's getting. Hoping you could break it down whether or not it's actually a good survival horror game and a worthy successor to Alan Wake. I'm worried that it's only getting high praise for being a show/film rather than a game. I think GmanLives makes some good arguments, but I'm also unsure if he's being too critical since he specializes in FPS games that are action-heavy. I'm fine with games having a narrative focus, and, at the same time, I'm not a fan of games that have bad pacing when it comes to combat encounters and actual gameplay when tied together with cutscenes. Lastly, I'm afraid the game might be a bait-and-switch wherein Saga is the actual protagonist and not Alan.

What I don't like is how Fatal Frame often treats the victims as the villains. I'd much rather capture ghosts of the evil Shinto priests and psychotic villagers and make them suffer.

If they felt like they needed a dude character in Fatal Frame 3, then why not just swap the roles of Yuu and Rei? It is quite odd they add a new character instead of having you play as Mio.

Made sense to me as i feel mio is way too damaged to control and save herself and at least one other person in another camera obscura adventure

I prefer English dubs, it allows me to follow the plot better and not worry about subs going too fast, the immersion aspect of not having Japanese voices doesn't bother me, I just pretend they're speaking Japanese and that I understand it, simple, how else would you explain documents written in English?
@bbbbbbb51 Жыл бұрын
I use subs on everything I watch (even with English audio) so I tend to prefer them in vidya too, but especially so when the setting ties into it. It's extremely rare for the original VA work to match in dubs.
@plipplop728 Жыл бұрын
Man, the gameplay on the original trilogy made it difficult to catch all of it without english dubs. That said, it's not about the language, but the voice acting was bad, not as bad as most of older games VA, but still bad.
@Puremindgames Жыл бұрын
@plipplop728 Whether VAs are good or bad isn't something I've really cared about, probably because even the terrible ones do a better job than I ever could. I wish Mask of The Lunar Eclipse had an English dub, even if I had buy it separately for £10.

It really sucks that Fatal Frame series went from being available for PlayStation and Xbox. To being a exclusive Nintendo series.

There's hope, now that they remastered 4th and 5th for other platforms.
