Gameplay

In an interview in the Creators Voice section of Wii.com, game director Makoto Shibata and producer Keisuke Kikuchi detailed their inspiration for the new mechanics in Fatal Frame 4. The player will controller the character movement with nunchuck, while the motion sensors in the Wii remote will allow the player to control the flashlight. The deveolpers commented that they found after extensive play testing that using the sensors in the Wii remote as opposed to the Wii remotes IR functionality would allow for a more immersive player experience. The game will also use a behind-the-back perspective to make players feel as if they are in the game. An added benefit of the new perspective is the ability to add more objects above the player's line of sight, which the old perspective restricted. Players will once again navigate a derelict Japanese mansion and other traditional Japanese houses. According to Kikuchi Fatal Frame 4 will have the largest number of explorable buildings in franchise history. The game will also feature four playable characters:  Ruka,  the other two girls Misaki Asô and Madoka Tsukimori, and Choushiro.
