Fatal Frame 1 | Project Zero | Zero History Of The Series

Fatal Frame a.k.a. Project Zero a.k.a. Zero has turned 20 years this year. Still, there are a lot of players not familiar with these games. Although they are considered one of the best survival horror games, standing next to Silent Hill and Resident Evil.

UPD: IMPORTANT NOTE! Miku didn't fight her mother, but her great-grandmother Yae. I got confused since she called the ghost "mom", although the description of the ghost says that her name is Yae. I'll correct myself in a future video. Thank you for your patience, guys! Hope you'll like it. Subtitles will be asap. If you have anything to add, feel free to share your knowledge :)

[@reaverofjillsandwiches]

I like how this game takes the typical, for its time, survival horror style of Resident Evil and Silent Hill and did something a little different with it.

[@chriskennedy6300]

Oh WOW! Now *FATAL FRAME*?! 🙂 As soon as I'm off work, I'll DEFINITELY watch this with some 🍿🍺. 😊👍

[@GrandGamingChannel]

Hope you'll enjoy it :)

[@chriskennedy6300]

@@GrandGamingChannel Of course! I enjoyed EVERY single video you make, and I still rewatch them. And I support my favorite KZbinrs by watching the adds as well (no skip). Looking forward to this series and whichever Survival Horror title you cover in the future. Fatal Frame brings back memories... ✌🙂

[@markoyamashitach]

Fatal Frame is probably one of the few games that gave me legit goosebumps while playing and that eerie sense of "I shouldn't be playing this or I'll get cursed." Thanks for the deep dive. Always enjoy your exploration videos. One thing I always wondered, and you touched upon it a bit, if the "normal" ending, I wonder if the entire reincarnation angle is used and is the reason why he chose to stay with her instead of escaping with his sister? Granted it's not the "good ending" but it kinda makes sense if you take that into account. Fatal Frame always seems to draw deeply upon Japanese culture, religion and folklore it always stuck in the back of my mind as his reasoning.

[@GrandGamingChannel]

Yeah, I agree that if you take into account all that reincarnation thing it starts to make sense...but still, if you are not prepared or not familiar with Buddhism it may look a bit unnatural.

[@markoyamashitach]

@@GrandGamingChannel I completely agree. And I'm happy you brought it up at the beginning. I've run into several content creators in recent years that are attempting to deep dive into older games like this and they completely miss the Buddhist aspect of the culture when examining the source material. While it may not be directly related to the overall plot, the elements of reincarnation definitely lend weight to speculative theory that perhaps that's what they were intending. Looking forward to the next entry in the series. Keep up to fine work!

Only game that ever gave me nightmares, I remember waking up in a pool of sweat back in 2002 when I played this game for the first time.

Another great video, man i hope youtube would promote this kind of content more rather than just random of the mill videos that is promoted just because the channel has a consistent upload schedule. I mean a simple look would clearly establish the value of those video compared to one from this channel or other like this one. Sadly youtube cares far more about money than quality content. Goodluck to you man, i hope one day this channel got the attention it deserves, in the meantime i will stay and watch all the quality content you've put forth.

I only knew about this series cause my dad had the first one on the PS2 and now I have it in my collection. I never finished it but got close but I loved the first one and the second one. I loved how it was just a camera you had to fight the ghost and I've always loved Japanese culture so I was drawn to it. Great video👍🏻

After the disappointing announcement of fatal frame pachinko. It’s nice to see another video from a youtuber talking about this series and giving it some level of respect. (This was a great video btw.) Anyways, all that aside, it would be great if Koei tecmo were to just remaster the FF/PZ trilogy of games to current platforms...I mean, look remasters & remake have been a ongoing trend these past few years.

[@wolfis244]

Thank you for covering the series. I really enjoy Fatal Frame I think I saw a let's play of Crimson Butterfly and it was really good.

[@pupusukka]

Abaolutely love this. Project Zero is one series that has stayed with me for years and man this first game is HARD. Probably hardest from all of the trilogy (Haven't played the ones after them) I am now somewhat dumbfounded how I never tried the battle mode, but since tha game itself is such a workload mentally so I alway just completed the story. Maybe I should try the battle mode and collect more helpful lenses, I got pretty far in the FATAL mode back in the day...

[@Saddonghussein]

Aside from rule of rose, this is my favorite horror game

I grew up in horror movies. I watched every movie in the horror aisle at our local video rental store. So they were always more entertaining to me than scary. The Grudge was a new type of horror for me when it came out and it scared the absolute SHIT out of me. I didn't sleep well for a week.

I heard FF's creators just embellished the dangerous rituals to have some creative fun like the Binding Ritual. What happened to Miko and Mafuyu's grandma after she fled the Himura Mansion thanks to Kirie's child self.

GREAT video. it really feels like you are back after the silent hill series. psychological and mystery horror suits you the best. i didnt like your metal gear and resident evil videos. not that the revies were bad, it just doesnt suit your voice and your editing. ever thought about going a bit retro for one of your next reviews? something like "sweet home" for NES? its really scary. or maybe a "bit" newer with "clock tower 1" for snes maybe? keep up your work, its great.

To make the game scare me more, I played in the dark and before a scene happens I would put the controller down my back so I would feel the vibration of the ghosts. No other game scared me like this one till Resident Evil 7 came along. Although Fatal Frame takes the cake. Good times.

Whats the difference between yurei and onryo

[@GrandGamingChannel]

It's better to understand the difference if you look at their kanjis. Onryo(u) consists of kanjis: resent/be disgusted and spirit. Yu(u)rei consists of kanjis: dim/blurry and spirit. All in all, it's pretty fair to call all Japanese ghosts Yurei. And Onryo is kind of subspecies of Yurei. If a soul died in a violent manner with strong emotions and was not not laid to rest in a proper manner (happened a lot in this game), there are high chances this soul turn into Onryo.
