Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly | Playthrough Gameplay No Commentary

[@BlackSkullArmor]

The sound design is on point. The creaking floors, the sound of thick doors opening. Incredible atmosphere that most modern horror games nowadays fall short of replicating.

[@ginkarasu]

tbh, horror games nowadays tend to lean more on jumpscare/gore mechanics a lot. Instead of relying on creating a tense atmosphere. The same goes for japanese vs american horror movies. You simply cannot compare J-horror to American horror movies. Saw versus Ju-on The grudge anyone (the Japanese original that is, without michelle gellar). Also there's a huge difference between being freaked out or being grossed out.

[@Manymorethanksplease]

@@ginkarasu ^^^ there a diffrence between a movie or game leaving you with a disturbing feeling and thinking of it for a couple days, then one being a generic horror that you will forget the next day.

[@Briizyo]

Fatal Frame 2, Silent Hill 2 and Resident Evil 2 are best horror games ever made.

[@maidenofwhitewater]

Don't forget little nightmares, I'll definitely check out silent Hill and forbidden siren

I remember, circa 2003, my family buying Fatal Frame 1 and 2 together. Me, my older sister, and my mom watching my stepdad play through them every night with the lights out. Such a creepy franchise and such good memories with my family. Thank you for uploading SHN! ❤️

[@elijahcaver6491]

Zachery Reihner was that backhanded comment even remotely necessary?

[@JackSpadeTaylor]

I remember having memories like this with my mom and sister; everything from tomb raider 3, almost all the original resident evils and code Veronica :D just wish we’d be able to do it again for old times sake haha

[@midorimashintaro6571]

Man, Japanese do create damn good horror games. Thanks for uploading this!

[@zofdig]

It helps that horror is almost mainstream for them so plenty of backing to make horror. Also from a cultural stand point they view supernatural horror as the more common type and much like H.P. Lovecraft you cant really beat the evil thing. At best you escape, or seal up the horror for someone down the road to deal with. The ring is a text book perfect example. In the first movie in the states the heroine tackles the ghost in typical western fashion by trying to appease/exorcise/release it. However in the end she simply resigns herself to escape like eastern horror. Also its really unlikely for a Japanese game to be censored for being too scary while that has happened in many countries.

[@Toyota_Fortuner]

The game was inspired by the real legends of Japan, they have tons of "yurei" ghosts out there

[@militustoica]

I hate how helpless you feel in almost every J-horror game as a Westerner, though. Resident Evil is the big exception where you are always an American (still trying to wrap my head around this one) with guns and knives, though.

[@militustoica]

They actually did sacrifice human beings in early Japanese history by burying them alive in structures (hitobashira) like the Shrine Carpenters from Fatal Frame 3.

[@west1002]

Phil Jones oh man thats some fcked up shit!

[@xazonix]

This game u can choice 3 ways to end this. 1. Mio just leave her sister. 2. Mio killed mayu 3. Mio and Mayu alive ( but u have to get all perfect shot from start until the end in hardest mode )

[@yourpalfred]

My husband and I played this back when we were still dating! He had surround sound in his bedroom and we played it with the lights off! So scary with the incredible sound design. We had a blast.

[@milodeescorpio3658]

[@spookybean1596]

One of the best survival horror games out there. ♥

[@nipulkradmsinatagras8293]

Back in 2004, I got this game as a birthday present from a friend. Played it with my wife for an entire week. Yelling and screaming constantly to the point that my wife no longer wants to sleep alone. Best steamy summer nights ever.

[@ChrisJohnson-pq2tu]

Damn this game still looks pretty good for being 20 years old. Well produced, well directed, and the artstyle / presentation all on point for sure. What a gem; I'd love to see this series remastered or rebooted. There's some great game design concepts here amd the series is genuinely unique and creepy. Glad I at least had a chance to play Fatal Frame 1 and 2 way back when 🤔🙏🤗

[@Vamia2]

Fatal Frame II was a adored favorite between my sister and I. Thanks SHN!

I also played it when I was younger around 8-9 me and my bestfriend loved this game I wish I still had it

[@SirBedlamProductions]

This game was such a huge part of my childhood, and one of the main things that inspired me to become a horror game developer. Such sweet memories. ♥

[@misschris325]

Wow, I remember playing this as a kid... My cousin and I procured a copy from blockbuster. Because of all the hype around this, we couldn't get past the first ten minutes. We also had blankets covering our eyes

[@robinthrill3r7]

Wow your cute

[@ginkarasu]

kinda funny you mention that, because the sound alone could freak you out even more!

[@zzzhuh]

You mentioned Blockbuster. I never played this game, but when we'd rent from Blockbuster, I specifically recall seeing the cover of this game. I was terrified of the movie The Ring, and when I saw this I about shit my pants in the isle. I happened to look up the cover and now I'm here, watching footage of a game that my younger self, wouldn't have made more than 5 minutes playing.

[@ginkarasu]

I'm amazed that after completing this several times, I never realised that you could run past most ghost. At first I was wait what? Then I noticed you almost never took any pictures of optional ghosts when the meter showed blue. You just rushed past it. And that you mostly seemed clueless where the ghost were. Even though the meter turned orange you still searched the other way.

[@wh-wjsboka7847]

Yeah I noticed that too. He also skipped a lot of diaries and books.

[@jsrrsj3204]

Fatal frame 2 was the first fatal frame game I have seen, it will always be my first favorite game out of all the others.

[@dimasfalupi1473]

Why you skip all the books and diaries.? Its an important part. :(

[@javierquintero8705]

I remember standing in line to buy this game. They had GameStop decked in red and cardboard giant Shinto gate it was fun.

[@punpun8819]

popcorn, done. light off, done. 3:00am, of course.

[@MultiThomasdk]

In the first game you made sure you had all the items, it’s frustrating to see you skip through items in the first house.

[@Jessethevampire]

Agreed! I know if you go back to the first house, there is a ghost battle between 3 kids you can do and they drop an important camera item for you. It made me sad when he skipped the ghost battles too

[@klassytome]

I was hoping that this would be a complete Lorerun like SHN did with Fatal Frame 1. I noticed a few things I did not when I watched Markiplier play the game. The young woman hiding in the trunk in the Osaka House must have been pregnant when the Repentence happened, because during her battle at 3:05:00 we can hear the sound of a crying baby. There are layers of details in this game that you would not notice the first time you experience it. Usually SHN is so thorough on playthroughs I was surprised when so much was getting skipped. I wanted to get the complete story on the Kusabi, but it will not show up in this playthrough.

[@ericsteffen4948]

Until now if I saw the ending, I'am still crying. It's very sad ending plus that song is suitable for the ending

[@malcolm1732]

Wooo. Been away for a long time, seeing this video on my feed brought me back! Thanks SHN.

[@ThePooch86]

The camera had more upgrades (changing lenses) that you werent aware of..you could of added more , u just needed to click it to the right lol made the battles more easily...u only had slow...blast was actually good..and those twins...it wasnt ur camera..one of them was fake. Overall i enjoyed this..brought lots of memories back. That kimono room was my scariest place!

I like watching her Climbing up and down the stair. So fluid.

[@Jessethevampire]

At 3:08:29 you can get an awesome upgrade for your camera if you battle the kids playing tag!

[@lorekinfai]

Fix camera is more suitable on survival horror like alone in the dark and Resident Evil. It's much scarier than over the shoulder view.

first thank you for the great work here and keep it coming, here is a fun story, back in the day, by accident i bought this twice on the same day, first game title was Project Zero 2 and the 2nd game title was Fatal Frame 2, i bought the first game aswell on the same day in a Game store, which since has left denmark, the first game was named Project Zero, all games worked fine with my PS2

[@Yesterdaysmaybe]

I remember playing this and being so freaked out the whole time. The ending made me cry in both sadness and frustration. To Mayu I was like: " I spent the whole game trying to save your ass and then it all ends with me killing you anyways?! WTF?!!"

[@mileenafeuerbacher4699]

there are a few different endings you can achieve.

[@MasterDrood]

Omg it's so frustrating to see him missing good shots and taking damage that could be avoided. But it's a great gameplay though.

SHN, thanks for uploading this video. FF series are truly classic horror games, played at night during my PS2 days and really gives me the chill. No offense for RE fans coz I am too, but RE7 besides having good graphics, just can't OUTLAST Fatal Frame.

[@kennyskchong8948]

Totally agree with your points buddy. It's a definite for RE7 will be much better than Outlast, but Fatal Frame eventhough a old classic game i believe still bypass both the titles RE7 & Outlast. Probably I am too stuck with old school RE. I hope there is a remake for Fatal Frame series. Just an opinion anyway, my comparison might be wrong. Take care buddy. Thumbs Up.
