Fatal Frame 2 Hits PSN Tuesday, Series Director Speaks

Posted by Makoto Shibata // Fatal Frame Series Director:

Editor’s note: Following yesterday’s restrospective on the original PS2 Classic Fatal Frame, series director Makoto Shibata returns today to talk about the development of Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly, which comes to PSN next Tuesday.

The Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly project started relatively soon after the first project concluded. Since we received lots of feedback that players got too scared to complete the game, we shifted our attention to making the storyline more interesting, to encourage such players to overcome the scariness in wanting to see the end of the story.

They should make HD collection. With trophy support.

Yui_Suzumiya4040d ago

I've been asking for that for 4 years!

SaiyanFury4040d ago

ABSOLUTELY! I've been hoping they'd do an HD collection for about half a decade. Hopefully, they'll deliver eventually. :)

Don't Nintendo Own the rights to Fatal Frame? This must be a workaround then

ThePsychoGamer4040d ago

I remember reading a rumor that Nintedo gained partial ownership of the IP, which could really only amount to Nintedo having the rights to the spin game Spirit Camera, while Tecmo owns the rights to the main series.

sherimae24134040d ago (Edited 4040d ago )

nope your wrong,
the fatal frame ip is solely owned by tecmo koei
nintendo had joined with tecmo only in fatal frame 4 and its being develop by another developer, grasshopper manufacture and not by project zero and will also be published by nintendo..
same goes for the spin off in 3ds

its just like the same thing with bayonetta, the ip is owned by sega since they dont want to make a sequel, nintendo had a deal with them and they are the one who will published the sequel ^_^

but still nintendo has rights to fatal frame 4 and bayonetta 2 so it will unlikely to go to any other platforms ^_^

DarkBlood4040d ago

well that clears it up thanks

InsaneChronos4038d ago

The Fatal Frame franchise is not co-owned by Nintendo. Nintendo has the rights only to Fatal Frame 2: Wii Edition, Fatal Frame 4 and Spirit Camera.

WeAreLegion4040d ago

Yes!!! Get #3 up in this mofo, too! Such an incredible series!

jc485734040d ago

you know, how about trying to port Fatal Frame IV? I don't care what contract they have with Nintendo, but I know Tecmo or Grasshopper probably has their way around porting games to different consoles despite having some kind of exclusive thing going on. Maybe building the game from ground up with a different engine?

Great game, I still have my PS2 copy.

Concertoine138d ago

I played the OG Xbox game on 360 via BC. Played great and looked perfect. I imported the wii remake as well, but have never actually played it.

Venoxn4g138d ago

Great game and great series..hopefully they would port FF2 Wii remake version on other consoles as they did with FF4 and FF5

Bioshock 1 only has the intro though, would you kindly pick up that radio? :p

Levii_92384d ago

Original FEAR is a goddamn masterpiece

ModsDoBetter384d ago

Was playing Alien: Isolation again a few weeks ago, still holds up and the AI is incredible.

F.E.A.R. was another amazing game, shame the series went downhill with 2 and then fell off entirely with F3AR.

Couldn’t get into Fatal Frame, bought the remaster on PS5 and just…couldn’t.

DeathTouch384d ago

Fatal Frame 2 is an underrated masterpiece.

gold_drake384d ago

omg that game freaked me out haha

Abnor_Mal383d ago

One of my favorite games, would love to see a remake.

gold_drake384d ago

i still think Haunting Ground is one of the best.

I remember the suffering and it was descent game. I always wanted to play Crimson but never got to it.

But honestly, I’ve never played a game that really scared me, like some movies from the past have.

Silly gameAr586d ago

I remember The Suffering 1 and 2. I haven't thought about those games in years. I still remember some parts of the level in the prison where a guy was sucked through a vent screaming. I don't know why that's stuck with me all of these years.

I'm saving RE VIII for when the PS VR2 comes out.
