I recall Gothic Girl saying this is one of the more overlooked survival horrors...
But for Fatal Frame to have 4 incarnations can't really be described as underlooked. If you wanna talk about almost unknown, it has to be Siren really. The sequel didn't even make it stateside...which pissed me off cuz I liked the first one...and how it literally scared the shit out of me in the dark.
Just look at this thread in the Fatal Frame IV forum - The majority of people in there hadn't heard about (or played) the series before FFIV was announced. And it's no wonder - We only got one trailer for each game in the West (and iirc, some of those trailers weren't even in English), while Japan got bunches of trailers, commercials, gameplay vids, etc.
The series' marketing over here sucks, tbh.
The series is popular in Japan, but overlooked (both by marketers and the audience) in the West.
As mentioned in the article, Fatal Frame definitely needs alot more publicity. If Nintendo doesn't do agood job of publicizing the game this time around, then I wouldn't be surprised if we don't see any more FF games (in the West, anyway). It'll end up with a similar fate to Siren.
I haven't played FF as I never really had the chance, but I was really glad to have played Siren...and its extremely twisted and scary storyline that sent chills up my spine in the middle of the night.
Let's just hope that I don't get any nightmares playing this game...
How much better could it get playing in one. Game but still.
*adds to must buy list*
Why isn't this coming on the PS3? Fatal Frame I to III have all been on Sony consoles >_>
Seems kinda odd to just jump ship like that >_>
I liked FF II on my PS2, though I never finished it. Pity it isn't on the PS3, it would likely look really awesome on it >_>
