Fatal Frame - Mask of Lunar Eclipse Remastered vs Original Graphics Comparison

[@szeltovivarsydroxan9944]

The characters' faces are way more expressive in the Wii version. They look like dolls now in the remaster.

[@user-os7ec4dm8x]

Hooray, found one!

[@lelela2211]

Remaster is way to bright and saturated at times. Characters look very good but pop out too much from the other low res/poly backgrounds. Will buy it to support the franchise but I honestly prefer the original visually.

[@2sallads]

the original suffers from being in an era where everything brown was taking over games. They did this to get themselves out of that. But optional old look/character models would have been nice to preserve it.

[@Lofirainbows]

@@2sallads I disagree that this is something it suffers from; it may have been a technical limitation, but it was made into a great artistic choice same with Silent Hill for example

[@holy9781]

​@@Lofirainbowsu literally can't see the characters in the opening.the game was way to dark and ugly

[@saurabhpathakYT]

Thanks for the long comparison. On 6:03 you can see that the skirt physics are better in the original than the remaster also the red light interact with the character in the original whereas not in the remaster. But the models and textures do look great in the remaster, also the controls seem to be improved. So it's better to play the newer version on modern hardware.

[@Hoami_Miruka]

actually not the skirt physics are better in the wii one just a diferent system used for each one wii uses a generated system the remaster/remake uses a emulation of fabric style so is more trully to a fabric and less like obvious 3d or dataded is commonly used the generated system in vtubers since is a pleasing stetic for the hair and outfits, project diva made by sega is a good example of this style of physics for hair and skirts

[@themeangene]

The skirt physics is technically more accurate in the remaster. The original has more obvious motion but that's not accurate. The Wii skirts are clearly set to move in some sin function. I don't think one is better than the other. It comes down to style preference. The animations and art style aren't meant to look real to life so I don't mind if the physics is off

[@themeangene]

Pros of the original: Handmade animations look better, the art style builds a scarier atmosphere Pros of the remaster: Superior frame rate, the character models look far more modern, the UI is easier to navigate My main complaint about the remaster is that the textures on the backgrounds look terrible up close. They seem to have just used a basic AI upscaler. The lighting is also a little too blue. But the frame rate and controls are far easier on the remaster

[@bakemonowolf4419]

Old colors work better, but for me, the brightness on both Wii and Remastered are 50/50. Too dark! And then at some point, "Eh, the lighting could've been fine to show the eeriness of the ghost. And in the dark." Love the details on the clothes, but physics are awkward. Also really like the glow up on the faces, but man Choushiro. Papi pls.

[@SamthePlayer]

Wow. I turned down my brightness to zero on the remaster just to get any value out of the flashlight and make it feel scarier, now I see that the original had the lighting right and they just didn't carry it over to the remaster.

[@vitoblaster5498]

Horror atmosphere more tense in Fatal Frame Wii than the PS5 version.

[@YOEL_44]

I don't know, there's nothing wrong with it, but it looks quite PS3-ish, I think they went through a very strict only remastering route.

[@sebastianvallemontes1030]

Remaster, no remake.

[@boboboy8189]

it's Nintendo Wii not PS3.

[@jackfavvv0280]

From "Creepy, decorative masks." to " Sinister masks are on display". ...Nice.

[@felathamekitty]

the wii one is a fan translation, after all (ff4 never got localized)

[@kpotatov]

Maybe it's just me but I think the characters models & the atmosphere in the game lost the charm that the original had. Everything looks too bright in the remaster & the character models look...idk, just a bit off to me

[@macdealer7936]

I feel the same, the atmosphere is not as good, but in the positive side, the game is looking really gorgeous.

[@HansAlRachid]

Totally agree there.

[@yasinunal4130]

I think, they made it brighter so you can see more of the remastered Graphics. But you should be able to adjust the Brightness

[@HansAlRachid]

@@yasinunal4130 That and they wanted the series to be more approachable to people outside the horror fandom, I'd wager. The problem with adjusting the brightness is that it wouldn't get rid of the overall abundance of extra light sources they added - at most you could dim the existing ones. Better than nothing though.

[@kpotatov]

@@yasinunal4130 My brightness is on the lowest already haha

[@wjsnactivist6141]

Am I strange for thinking the protagonist looks so much cuter on Wii? Lol

[@Salieri01]

Yes you are

[@SpookyDollhouse]

I don't get doubling-down revising everything to be either bright blue or "natural" in re-releases and games in general these days. The original game is visually fantastic and has its own unique identity in regards to color. They didn't need to change that or change the characters' outfits. Baffling! They're also completely downplaying Grasshopper Manufacture actually having developed the game originally. For whatever reason the fact they made the game pisses some people off? They're not even properly credited on Wikipedia; there's a dual development thing that completely ignores the game's credits and info in Grasshopper's own book they developed the game. Anyway that's besides the point, these revisionist re-releases grind my gears.

[@HansAlRachid]

I really hate how bright they made the remake. Ruins so much of the atmosphere for me. Especially the characters themselves - what's up with that weird glow? Hopefully people will eventually make a mod or something to revert the game to the old lighting style and color scheme.

[@boboboy8189]

you can lowering brightnes setting

[@HansAlRachid]

@@boboboy8189 That doesn't eliminate all the extra light sources they added though, same for that baffling glow effect around the characters, so the game will always remain this brighter version of the original.

[@ventusse]

I just downloaded reshade and adjusted it there to mimic the original lighting. Made it much more scarier in my opinion.

[@cactusrosi1409]

​@@HansAlRachid idk if it's that big a difference but the switch version isn't that bright. At least it feels less bright on my screen.

[@divanda5591]

7:00 okaythe thing about the remastered is that they dont do effect like original did, you can also see the difference when taking fatal frame shot in the newer

[@KishorTwist]

Much better lighting right away. Don't forget to calibrate your tv for optimal brightness and saturation!

[@daviddiaconu4130]

Yall can complain about the lighting all you want but I'd rather have it bright than not see where I'm going 50% of the time , witch was a big problem in the wii version. Especialy on older Tv's

[@marcbr2585]

It's nobody's fault if your TV was garbage.

[@2ndnameann]

i guess they made it brighter for those people who got spooked easily xD xD. Kidding aside, the OG version is indeed much more creepier since it is much more darker than the remastered, but some scenes on the remastered are now easily visible because of the brightness it has, although at some point it is just too bright. So in short, OG is nicely creepily dark but too dark at some point you can't see shit, and the remastered fix it but at some point it's just too bright. Kinda wish they added the graining effect from the OG and just adjust it a little bit. And also, I think some of the translation are kinda more accurate on the fanmade one... (since before it is just a japan only game)? like the first flashback with Madoka, tho idk i think it's just my inner weeb kickin xD. Also the piano scene on the OG is weirdly much more realistic compare to the remastered...? Like the animations movement snaps of the hands plus the hands itself. The remastered one looks like it's too roundish unlike the OG with more prominent hand features. Although this is just the intro clip so who knows maybe it's much much more better along the whole game.

[@resseso54]

11:38 WTF those hands ??

[@allenofblacksteel9169]

are you kidding? I can't see anything in original version. the lighting is bad.

[@holy9781]

I was thinking the same,I hate this term,but purist lol.i mean I never played the original but people say the new models look like dolls and are expressions less but alot of Japanese horror media from the earlier 2000's the actors act the same way in the face.idk,I feel its pretty accurate

[@alifhxzwn]

Is ps5 version same as steam version?

[@thesidneychan]

The game is still creepy despite the brightness.

[@andreasfort1599]

Is it just me or is the localization for the fan patch and official all over the place

[@andreasfort1599]

That basically. The patch was done with people who had some knowledge of Japanese, google translate, people who corrected the English grammar as well as the use of words in Japanese that didn’t have a direct translation (Luna Sedata syndrome vs Moonlight Syndrome). For over a decade, it served its purpose until the remaster. I think even the Lost village wiki is cleaning up its ff4 sections and putting in official translations and making a notation for the patch. Since we have the official translation, the patch can fade out.

[@aokishinjitsu199]

The 2008 version has surround sound and in this 2023 it's just stereo... that's brilliant

[@LucasOliveira-ln6xm]

Looks better on WII.

[@Hoami_Miruka]

one thing i did not like is, the scenes that where pre-made cgi now are in game renders and i would prefer premade cgi to keep the drama of the scene like the piano one even more pretier, and you can see the lack of details in skin and the notes, so..is one of the let downs for me

[@vaazeastwood]

Why is literally every remaster nowadays worse than the original? They always manage to disrupt the original identity and artistic integrity. Is like the people that make these remasters just can't understand the games

[@Lofirainbows]

The originals faded colour scheme and grey filter add a feeling of stillness, the remake has oversaturated lighting, colours. The dirtiness of the original represents the degradation of the environment, it looks too organised, fake/new in the remake. Don't even get me started on the cinematography... the new versions general tone and overall atmosphere are awful, especially when compared to the original version.

[@spchannel9]
