Fatal frame anyone?

*raises hand*
Fatal Framer over here! (if you hadn't guessed already)

It's along side RE/Biohazard as my favorite series.
FF2 is my favorite but I really like all of them. And as Darkmoon mentioned, the 4th game can now be enjoyed (and understood) in English, thanks to the hard work of a few dedicated fans, who made a patch that translates the entire game!
They are special and unique games and I really hope we get a new one for PS3/360.
I'm also in love with Tsukiko Amano, who performs the theme songe for FF2, FF3 and the Wii game.

I love the Siren games too and Japanese horror in general (Haunting Ground, Rule of Rose, Kuon etc...) It's such a shame that genre/style of games are so few and far between nowadays. Those PS2 days were the glory days!

Yes, I'm very limited and only have FF2. My ps2 died on me so I can't play FF3 anymore and it's the only game I know of that is pure terror now, RE and SH have gone all Americanized so their not the same anymore too. Forbidden siren is scary too! Played the second one when I was 14 or something and I nearly asked my mum if I could sleep in her bed that night lol!

Well, the Fourth is Wii only. I think, but I'm not 100% sure, the third was a PS2 only title. Since there were only a few bonuses and a non-cannon ending on the X-Box versions I never bothered with them.

As I understand it, it's not entirely Tecmo's fault. They and Nintendo got into an argument over who would pay certain costs for production in America and Europe and were unable to resolve the issue).

damn you tecmo AND Nintendo!!!

makes it difficult to enjoy the series if you only have a xbox 360 and you need the backward compatabilty thingy. And I lack xbox live. Grrr!

But I managed to get FF 2 onto the console and am enjoying it again huzzah! Haven't played the first one tho

As I understand it, it's not entirely Tecmo's fault. They and Nintendo got into an argument over who would pay certain costs for production in America and Europe and were unable to resolve the issue. Still, the patch is available for the game now to give English subtitles...assuming you can find a copy of the game at all.

I really like Fatal Frame/Project Zero. Enough that my copies of 2 and 3 are from America, rather than waiting for a UK release. It's my second favourite horror series next to Forbidden Siren (Resident Evil now ranks in around 5th, sadly).

Was just wondering if there are any fatal framers out there or what you think of the series?

Sucks majorly that FF4 is only available in Japan. Damn You Tecmo!
