. Really looking forward to it. Never played any of the other Fatal Frame games. Always meant to pick them up, but just never had the time/got around to it. Hmmm, not the most trustest of sources (for me), but indicators that it's not some shit show. Good.
Nice. Still a bit expensive, but it's very much worth it.
Ha, you should play REmake. And that's not even the scariest game out there.
Hey everyone
Fatal Frame 4 is in stock at Play-Asia.com just thought I would let y'all know for anyone who wants to play this with the translation patch. (I know...several years after it went out of print, how strange...)
I might be importing this eventually since it doesn't look like it's going to be released here
Some retailers are also already shipping this to their customers
That would actually be a huge step up from the last Fatal Frame control scheme if you're talking about the cursor controls here (Fatal Frame doesn't have swords) which were definitely not great as in other Wii games but not that bad either.
Wait..what? You mean that there is a chance the game uses the same motion plus motion as Skyward Sword instead of the typical Wii motion??
Oh god I hope not
That was what killed Skyward Sword for me. I hated re-adjusting the motion sensor every two minutes cause it kept going out of whack.
It could be worse actually, but I don't know if I'm able to explain it properly if you haven't played FF4.
Yes, it's a remake of that game.
Yeah...I meant reset as in constantly pressing down on the D Pad to reset the cursor. Every time I wanted to look around..press down because when I looked up, the cursor would be off to the left or right. Every time I moved the camera around...press down. Combat was always out of whack cause of it.
It was fubar'd for me. I gave up after @3 hours or so. I just couldn't take it any more
Why? The control style is the same regardless if it's first or third person. And FPS work great on Wii. If they wanted it to feel slow and hard to use for dangerous encounters then they could do that by not having fast turning speed options like FPS games do. Or keep the "crosshair" in the center instead of have it follow the cursor and so be a lot faster than it should be. Kind of like some space combat games do when played with a mouse on PC, where you guide a cursor to mouselook depending on how close to the edges of the screen it is, but the weapons fire is centered at the crosshair instead of follow the cursor, so that aiming is still dictated by the agility of the craft rather than how fast you move the cursor (although some games do include that convenience). Or even take some clues from RE4 where the turning is done by the analog stick and you just aim with the cursor although that would probably require a reworking of the whole encounter system, enemy AI, numbers and everything else that is involved in it.
That's the same difference guns have on other systems (and pc) but they're still changed just fine with a floating cursor worked in for the Wii. I don't think having a less realistic representation of how a camera actually works would be a problem compared to the playability benefits, it already has a weird HUD and stuff. But I've edited my post with a solution to that. I also added an MS Paint image of what I meant if I was being too confusing, I couldn't find a good example screenshot/video.
