Spirit Camera on the 3DS was an interesting way to utilize the system’s functions and really make players more immersed in the Fatal Frame world.
#Fatal frame 4 patch series
I believe fans continue to support the series due to all of these elements being present in our games.

Also, the game itself consists of more than just horror, the story, battle system, characters and other elements are all part of the adventure elements of the series. I think this is because the Fatal Frame series contains universal concepts for fear that are not tied to any specific time period. What do you think has allowed Fatal Frame to keep going so many years later when many others disappeared over time? From that list, we decided to implement a camera as it was fun and interesting to use, and also could be used as a means to solve puzzles in the game.įatal Frame came out at a time when horror was at an all-time high – and some would argue at its absolute peak. Yes, when developing the first title, we considered a bow (and ceremonial arrow used to drive off evil), talismans, and a sword that possesses magical powers. When the series initially came to be, were there any other devices that were considered or prototyped outside of the camera obscura? As the costume comes from a whole different kind of world, players can have a different experience playing through the game with this costume.įatal Frame has always been one of a kind in the way that it told its stories of horror through a camera. How did the new Ryza costume for Yuri come about?Īs Yuri and Ryza’s outfits were similar in shape, I decided to utilize this when creating the costumes. However, I have been really surprised by the greater than expected response to this game, so I will be sure to consider this in the future. This particular remaster was created as a celebration of the Fatal Frame series’ 20th anniversary, so we don’t currently have any plans for any other titles. If Maiden of Black Water sells well, what is the chance we could see a remaster of Fatal Frame 4, which has only released in Japan? Could the success of Maiden of Black Water lead to more Fatal Frame remasters in general? We spoke with Kikuchi to talk about the possibility of more remasters, the Hollywood movie, collaborations, and more. With the new version of Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water on Switch from Koei Tecmo, the franchise is now making a bit of a comeback. He’s been working on Fatal Frame since the very beginning when it started up two decades ago. What some may not know is that Kikuchi has also been a longtime developer on the horror series. We’ve spoken to Fatal Frame producer Keisuke Kikuchi from Koei Tecmo a couple of times previously around the release of Fairy Tail on Switch.
