Now this can be awesome, according to the story in the article, Grasshopper won't jump in until they complete No More Heroes. I guess Tecmo is really having a change of heart for Nintendo systems with the steady support they are offering.

It's definetely more exploratory. Your ghost encounters are much more sparse. All 3 rely pretty heavily on japanese mythology. You can't run very quickly in the game which is annoying but not suprising. The first games setting is in a mansion. The second is in a village (very loosely based on a real village) the third had you enter a kind of dream world, don't think Freddy just don't. The game has a mix of shock value but for the most part it's the atmosphere that gives you the most scares. Since ghosts don't pop out every minute it's suprising to raise the camera and have one right in front of you.

However, I'm happy it's on a system that I own and I won't have to shell out 400 more dollars to play it. Cause Fatal frame for me is one of my favourite video game titles ever.
I was expecting it to become a 360 title though and I'm worried about what the graphics on the Wii will look like. If it still looks like PS2 then that's great... I'm hoping Tecmo and Grasshopper can get the best out of the Wii without some cel graphics or something that would take away from the atmosphere the game creates.
I still wanna see what it'd look like on a PS3 though... Maybe in the future... And maybe when I have alot of cash.

I'm not sure if accurate aim will help this, faster response means you're less vulnerable and less vulnerability means enemies are less dangerous. But Killer7 had similar enemies so Grasshopper should beable to handle this.

I don't think they'd give it to Grasshopper if they were just wanting a port done! Also, this is news! I liked the first Project Zero, a lot. Except that it took up 1.5MB of PS2 memory card space INSANITY. The second one was a tad more disturbing (haha! incest!) and the third one bored me. Maybe this one will be unboring!
This is probably as close as I'll get to a sequel of Grasshopper's extremely EROTIC CAKE SHOP Michigan too.

I think this game can really benefit by being made for the Wii. I don't remember who (speak up!), but someone mentioned an alien game a few years back where you rolled around with a flame-thrower and your only "radar" was this 'blip' that came from your Wiimote. The faster the 'blip' the closer you were to your enemy. Now that was a damn good idea.
It would be cool if this game used that same idea, where your entire HUD was completely blank and your radar was audible. Also, you could show your health by making the character hobble, have blood dribble down the screen, by having the character breath harder, or many even through insanity effects.
I haven't played the other games, but I don't have to to know this game has a lot of potential.

Throw Suda's flair for insanity into this and I think it has potential.

I would wait for a second confirmation before popping the champange.
I hope Grasshopper pushes the Wii to it's limit, otherwise it look like a port of FF2 for the Xbox.

Post by: darknight06 on January 30, 2008, 04:43:33 AM
On the other hand, what the heck was stopping them from doing this without Nintendo's development or publishing help? I can understand the assistance on technical details on the system, every company does that, but outright joint development? Why have them publish the game when on another console they would've more than likely done it themselves. What happened to just making a good title and giving it enough push to survive on it's own two feet? They've done that on the other consoles with successful results and yet for some reason when it involves a Nintendo system they're taking safeguards as if to say that without their logo on the box it won't sell? It's not that I don't like the idea of Nintendo being involved with the title like this, but it just seems a bit odd to me seeing them go this route on here when anywhere else they would've handled it on their own. With Arika and Endless Ocean I can see it since Arika isn't that big of a company, but Tecmo is a huge name. I don't get it.

As for Nintendo publishing it, meh. At least it reinsures that it will be Nintendo Only. Thou whats interesting is that this is the second game where Tecmo isn't publishing their own game. Ninja Gaiden II is being published by Microsoft. Does anyone know if Ninja Gaiden DS is being published by Nintendo too?
Maybe this is just a new trend by Tecmo?

Well Ninja Gaiden II is co-published by Microsoft for the 360 maybe Tecmo is falling on hard times and may need help from the big 3 to co-publish games for their systems, I'm sure Nintendo Microsoft and Sony won't mind since they will get a higher profit margin per sale.

Can't wait for this, Project Zero games are awesome (except the third one lolol). Suda's awesome. Ferrero Rocher chocolates are awesome.

And I also hope that not only is Nintendo publishing this to get another quality franchise on the Wii, but also as a push to show other 3rd parties that Horror-Survival can sell on the Wii too. Looking @ you Konami (Silent Hill).

So if a Chick's name was Rei, her first name would be ghost? Cause that would mean I need to give Evangelin another look, Rei Ayonami
Post by: Bill Aurion on January 31, 2008, 09:36:43 AM
Nah, the "Rei" used as a female Japanese name is a completely different kanji meaning something like "well-mannered"...
