To me, it’s a no-brainer that the WiiU got a photography-focused game, after all its controller is perfectly suited for that kind of experience.

The fact that I had little to no experience with the franchise, coupled with how I barely played any WiiU games at all outside of the core Nintendo-produced titles meant that I had no idea there was even a Fatal Frame launched exclusively on that system until well after the fact. Without any real action to speak of in terms of defending yourself with firearms like in other series, Fatal Frame had the unique mechanic of using a camera to blow ghosts and apparitions out of existence, which seemed both silly and extremely neat to me at the time. But it was also where new ideas started getting thrown into the horror mix, some of which were really out there, like the Fatal Frame/Project Zero series.Įven though I never engaged with any of the entries of that generation, I came to appreciate what Fatal Frame tried to do at the time. Some of the best sequels in the already established franchises were released on PlayStation 2, like Silent Hill 2 and Resident Evil 4. Yeah, I’m late on getting this out in time for Halloween because of my time off, so please enjoy my thoughts on Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water even though October’s past and we’re well on our way to the holidays!Įven though survival horror really took off during the first PlayStation era, it was during the second that it really saw a whole lot of variety when it came to getting our scares on. Hulloooooo! It’s the spooookiest time of the year, yes, November 11th, the day you shooooould goooo out alone! Soooo be carefuuuul! Halloween has nothing on November 11th! Boooo!Īh, okay, I’ll drop the act.
