Fatal Frame 5 Really Makes Use of Wii U's GamePad

Wait.....this is coming out in 17 days?! I feel like this was just announced like the other month. Whatever, cool!....I mean, I'm not gonna be able to play it, but still, cool!

I'm glad games like this aren't totally extinct on consoles.

Didn't understand a single word of it but I think it looks totally awesome! I would play that!

More so than ever before it seems like Nintendo should really bring this out over here. The Wii U can always use more games to play even if it won't sale a ton of copies.

hmmm.. looks creepy... kinda

Almost wish I owned a Wii U for this. Almost.

Good to see they licensed DoA's proprietary jiggle physics.

@patrickklepek I think that "apostrophe-ess" in the title is extraneous.

Were those boobs bouncing as she stopped around 1:04? What the hell.

Wait is this being developed by team ninja? I distinctly noticed drenched fantasy boob physics.
Ahem! in any case.. this looks pretty good.. well.. I feel now nothing really measures up to the fright we got in PT, but .. yeah.. pretty good for the series.

Whenever I get around to it.. I might actually purchase a Wii-U

I guess they learned that if you aren't going to bring a game to the USA someone will translate it almost perfectly for free. Project Zero did a real good job on 4.

so this is what creepy-ass Shinto spirits look like in HD. I'm sold.

Holy damn, I didn't notice that before. What a weird thing to implement.

Why do they keep putting those stupid ghost hands in???

I had no idea until now that there have been four Fatal Frame games. Was one of them a free-to-play game like Cookie Clicker? (monotized)

FATAL CLICK: (Or FATAL LAME, I haven't decided yet.)

There are 1000 GHOSTS in the room.

Click to take 1 PICTURE, dealing 1 HP of damage to the GHOST! Earn 1 PENNY!

Save pennies to order a FLASH upgrade from Amazon!

Check back tomorrow to see the FLASH arrive! (Or pay $2 for RUSH DELIVERY!)

1000 GHOSTS spawn every day. Each day you check back, they grow stronger, but you have already upgraded!

More upgrades available daily!

I love titty physics.

The last game had them as well.

N... No? What the hell is this comment?

It's made by Tecmo, not the Fullbright Company.

Does that somehow make it look less stupid?

I like the use of the GamePad as the camera but having to rotate that giant thing around to get the perfect shot seems too much. But anyway I still want this to come to NA very badly!

Jesus, this game HAS to come out outside japan!!!

@rafaelfc: LOL the Wii U has sooooo many games and great 3rd party support..... why on earth would nintendo need to import this one game to the states....... T__T

It's Tecmo, what did you expect?

As soon as the Wii U came out, this is the series I was hoping would get released on it. Happy to see they're using the gamepad as the camera.

The power of the Wii U.

My brain is unraveling trying to figure out the physics involved here...

Patrick, is there any way that you could play this and report if Gamepad stuff actually works?

In Australia/Europe, too, please!

Very much feels like the game the WiiU was made for. Hopefully Nintendo/Tecmo release the game worldwide, it may not sell a whole load, but the WiiU needs as many strong exclusive offerings as it can to encourage people to purchase.

If this releases outside of Japan in 2015 it would be yet another great looking game coming to that system in 2015 - shaping up to be a great year for the WiiU.

If it's region free, maybe I'll import it? I dunno.

@benmo316: I imagine you can use the right stick for big movements and the gyroscope for more precise, minor movements to follow ghosts that quickly move side to side.

I don't think having such a rubbery protagonist (not to mention one who makes weird anime facial expressions in all the scenes in the trailer at least) would really help the scary mood very much. Games like PT, Amnesia, and STALKER really do horror best imo by taking a protagonist actor out of the equation and just let me react for myself. Second best would probably be the previous Silent Hill games, where the characters are all pretty explicitly emotionally deadened like Harry or James or SH4 "Oh my door's blocked with chains. Huh." guy.

ME TOO PATRICK!

As a guy with man-boobs, I can safely say that these physics are totally inaccurate.

When I eventually get around to buying the Wii U in like 5 or 7 year, this have had to come out in Europe, right?

I don't think the Wii U is region free, but Nintendo would be doing themselves a disservice by NOT bringing this over. Even if they're worried about retail space, they've got a whole eShop that they can call the shots on. Just translate it, test it, and put it up on the eShop.

I'm blanking, but wasn't there a game once that had boob physics toned down for the western localization? Don't get me wrong; I doubt that they'll do that for this even if it gets localized, but this reminded me of that.

I'd buy this if it were released in North America. Don't even need English voices if they will subtitle. They could even just do a digital release. Its not like there is much else coming out for it so it would be silly for them not to put something with a core oriented, cult following on their system given their pivot to the core based on Miyamoto's comments.

I agree!

make the ghosts look totally lame with dutch angles to weaken them

I NEED TO BE ABLE TO PLAY THIS. even if I won't cause Im a big scaredy cat

That is a PERFECT pic/caption combo, in both cases!

I agree with the deck on this video, please bring this over to NA, Nintendo! :)

Back when the Wii U was first announced, this series was one of the first that I thought would be great for the system.

Dammit. I will only be able to buy it next year! :/

Obviously the weird jiggly-jello physics are going to catch people's attention, but has no one else noticed the also-weird kimono-lingerie-thingy the protagonist is wearing? She even has a garter on!

Is localization not confirmed? Man that would be an enormous bummer if a game that could actually make a decent pitch for the utility of the gamepad never made it over.

Aphex Twin working on the new Fatal Frame game, you read it here first.

Can't wait for this to come over to the U.S. Oh...
