I know I'm supposed to talk about that writer's block thing in the next post, but screw that. And I know people probably won't give a rat's ass of what I'm going to talk about, so screw them. I just found out from my friend that a new Fatal Frame is in development!! I checked the internet, and sure enough, there's the news, staring at me in the face: the next Fatal Frame has been announced!!... YES! Thank you oh God!! ...for the Wii!! YES!!! ...wait a minute, what?!
For those in the not-know, Fatal Frame is a Japanese horror game that have you fighting ghosts with a camera. Okay, I know that doesn't sound very scary, but let me explain. The series takes place in a Japanese settings, and the theme of the horror is very heavily in the style and nuance of that culture. You always play as a young girl trapped in some big mansion haunted by insane hostile ghosts, and the only way to defeat them is to use the mystical camera you have to exorcise them. Ever since the first game, I already fall in love with it, and ever since have been an uber-fan of the series. IMO, it's the most frightening and immersive horror series I've ever played.
The last game was released way back in 2005, and I've been scouring the internet
since looking for the tiniest bits of information for the next game. Imagine my excitement upon hearing this news! But... why for the Wii? The series have only been released for the PS2 and Xbox before, why Wii? Most likely, the creators have found a new way of utilizing the Wii-mote to create a wholly new gameplay for the series. It would be interesting to use the Wii-mote as a camera, or shake your hands wildly to release yourself from a ghost's grip.
Another thing that interests me also is that the game will be developed with the help of Grasshopper Manufacture. Yes, the very same company who made the outrageously weird and totally screwball-ed but stylish game Killer 7. This is very intriguing news. Who knows how the next Fatal Frame game will turn out when it's finished?
I have no plan to buy the Wii console before. But now... God, if there's one game that will make me buy a Wii it will be this game. I LOVE the series that much!! I don't care if I have to fork over $250 to buy a Wii console, but I WILL play this game!! Thankfully, it won't be anytime soon for the game's release (I predict early 2009 at best here). So now would be a good time to whip out good ol' piggy bank and start saving!
