Fatal Frame 5 Wii Announced; Screens and Gameplay Clip

"Fatal Frame 5 has been announced for the Wii to come out within the next year. Little is known besides a few screens and a small clip of gameplay, but it looks impressive for the Wii with it’s visuals and is a horror game for the Wii that promises to be good and not a port which is something the Wii needs more of. Unfortunately it likely won’t release outside of Japan like Fatal Frame IV. It’s OK if you want to cry on our shoulders, we’ll understand."

I should be happy for a new Fatal Frame game...

Unfortunately, I don't have a Wii yet.

And...

"Unfortunately it likely won’t release outside of Japan like Fatal Frame IV."

Dang.

[Snakefist30]

Thats not fair they shud announced it to the PS3with move support or Fatal Frame Collection for the PS3.Fatal Frame is one of my favourate survival horror.

[FiftyFourPointTwo]

I stopped reading at Wii.

[dredgewalker]

I have a Wii but I do agree that a re-mastered edition or new Fatal Frame with Move support is gonna rock. It's unfortunate that I haven't had the opportunity to play this game cause I keep hearing that it's scary and I like scary games!

[The_Devil_Hunter]

Agreed with Snakefist, They should release a collection for the PS3 would def buy it on the first day, it's one of my favorite survival horror series.

[Cloudberry]

.
Fatal Frame Trilogy Collection in Blu-Ray supports HD, 3D, Trophies, & even MOVE would be nice.

Very nice.

[Shnazzyone]

sucks to be you. your the one who bought a $100+ add-on for five games.

[stragomccloud]

The problem is Fatal Frame never sells well. It's too nitch. It would be waaaaaaaaaay too expensive to make the games in HD.

Fatal Frame 4 is by far the best selling game in the franchise, and I think that the thing only sold about 80k. Wii, being much cheaper to develop for makes such a game possible. The only way that game would sell better, is if it had more action. But that would ruin the Fatal Frame franchise... like Resident Evil.

@FiftyFourPointTwo

Wow. Ignorance runs rampant again. So, a game you would have been originallty excited about, loses clout, because it's on one system and not another. you know, I feel sorry for you. So much ignorance that you'll ignore good games just because of the hardware.

If there's one thing that this generation has proved. It's that the majority of gamers, /are/ graphic whores. Well said sir. You're a credit to your generation!

[qface64]

the fact that its on the wii AGAIN
makes me think those rumors about nintendo partly owning fatal frame now are actually true
they don't seem so paranoid all of a sudden

[na-no-nai]

it is, dont you remember a few years back when they said that nintendo purchase the rights to fatal frame

[EYEamNUMBER1]

that actually does look good its a big improvement over fatal frame 4

[kaos_fish II]

Well, if you look around on certain websites you can find Fatal Frame 4 with a complete english translation and (so, I've read) with bug fixes too.

The same happened with God Hater too for the PSP.

No doubt the same with happen with Fatal Frame 5.

[Lelouch V Brit]

This serie is pretty good, Screw you Nintendo you love to show us the middle finger "Unfortunately it likely won’t release outside of Japan " I will get a Modded System to play japanese games.

[Sneak-Out]

i want it for ps3 ... why only wii? thats was original a playstation title

[CrazyForGames]

well supposedly there was a rumor that was never confirmed nor denied that nintendo now owns and or partly owns a piece of fatal frame
the have a hand in it now or something

sounds a little far fetched but seeing this on the wii again?? does it really sound so crazy?

[na-no-nai]

they do, they own part of the right to fatal frame

[matey]

with GRAPHICS LIKE THAT who need HD ps3 rubbish when i get graphics equal if not better than a HD console without the nrrd for HD wii owns and them graphics are high end pc and make other games look poor in comparison

[DuskGolem]

D: I am wondering why this isn't getting approved though, that would be helpful since today is a new-busy day.

[Guitardr85]

Once again they are putting it on a system in which noone will play it...smart move nintendo...

[EpsilonTeam]

Fatal Frame 5 for the Wii. Ok since i have a Wii i can live with it. But FF4 naver came out for the west. What makes u think FF5 will?

[Mahr]

"But FF4 naver came out for the west. What makes u think FF5 will?"

It probably won't, but it's not like that will prevent fans from releasing their own translation.

[lastdual]

I'd be excited for this, if only I knew for sure that it was getting a western release...

[iMaim]

what the hell, this is just a remake of fatal frame 2.

[DuskGolem]

You're not the only one to notice, it does look like a remake of Fatal Frame 2 but actually there is word that the beginning scenario is only the same as Fatal Frame 2 and hat it leads into something more out there and mysterious.

[Galaxia]

I am confused too, you'd think a horror fansite would know a remake of the best game in the series.

All that is shown far is a few screens of the early sections of Fatal Frame 2. Only difference being a behind the shoulder camera instead of the classic camera angles, and some slightly upgraded graphics compared to the Xbox version.

[jc48573]

Funny how people jump into conclusions right away when they hear this game is coming out for the Wii. People really need to calm down. This does look like a remake.

[Galaxia]

Why does Nintendo get all the Remakes!?

The MGS1 Remake, the Resident Evil Remake, and now this and probably others I haven't played as well. PS3 needs some remakes please.

[matey]

its a sequel u idiot get a brain Fatal Frame 5 is what u are looking at Fatal Frame 2 remake there isnt such a game m8

[Studio-YaMi]

DAMN YOU NINTENDO !
you took 4,never released it outside of Japan,and now this ??

Why...? :(

[mirroredderorrim]

Nintendo didn't want to publish the 4th game outside of Japan*. Tecmo still owns Fatal Frame franchise, but I think Nintendo owns publishing rights to the 4th, unless I am mistaken.

[Seferoth75]

Cool just hope this one is actually a good game so it can get a stateside release.

People asking for the fourth one must not know how bad it is.

[jc48573]

I think this is a remake of Fatal Frame 2. It's not really FF5.

[AWBrawler]

why bother getting excited? They'll just keep it in japan like the last one :-/

[Homicide]

It looks like a FF2 remake. If it's a brand new game, then screw you Tecmo, and you too Nintendo for not publishing it here :(

[matey]

Its being made for the west

[matey]

then graphics are sick ps3 standard in every way poly count textures are better than a ps3 game yes the best ps3 graphics can only match them graphics end of

[Eddy223]

omgg
if it doesnt come out for the ps3 and such ill cry =[
seriously we need a new fatal frame
OUTSIDE of japan

[Shnazzyone]

Hopefully this one will not suck like FFVI apparently did and Big N will see fit to send it stateside.

[stragomccloud]

Don't know what you heard. But I loved the game. Scariest thing I've ever seen.

[Shnazzyone]

and more about how the wii controls were just broken.

[stragomccloud]

I think that the decision to use the motion control over the IR was a good decision. It kept the movement slow, and tense as it should be. It did take a little getting used to at first though. But after a short time, it becomes second nature.

I liked the story a lot too. The whole moon sickness thing, and that girl in the room with the lava lamps, just creepy!

[stragomccloud]

I love Fatal Frqame IV. It's my favourite horror game.
