Originally called Fatal Frame in Japan
Shome mishtake, shurely? I thought it was originally called 'Project Zero' in Japan and was renamed 'Fatal Frame' for its US release, only to be renamed back to 'Project Zero' for Europe? Anyway, nice review - glad you liked it. This is on my shopping list. Anyone used gameswire.com before (see above)? :-) |

Hmm, you're right about the name - doh! I was getting horribly confused because I knew it'd been renamed and it's very unusual for us to get the Japanese name rather than the US name in Europe. Quite funny actually, myself and Mugwum had an argument yesterday about whether it was called Fatal Frame in the USA or just in Japan - I knew it'd been renamed between the US and Japan but obviously got it the wrong way around. Sorry!

Can only agree, excellent game! Bought it while I was visiting a friend and I first played it when he was in the room - I was a bit disappointed. I then came home and played it alone in the dark (pun intended). I HAD to switch channels from time to time while playing to see some normal tv programme. It's always a very personal matter what scares you and what doesn't, and while for example Blair Witch Project (the movie) wasn't scary at all to me, this game touches my deepest childhood fears. *shudder* And I am only at the first night which is said to be much less scary than the follwoing nights...

Yeah, this is a fantastic game, and utterly unlike DoA, either. It could be a little short, because I think I'm a fair ways through in in 6 hours or so. I reckon about 10 hours total, but if it keeps the same level of quality throughout, it will be "all killer, no filler" and although I'm pleased that it got a budget release, there are several full-price titles out there that offer less entertainment.
Also, wasn't it just called "Zero" in Japan? I have to say that "Project Zero" is a fairly dodgy title too. |

Hmm, haven't seen this posted anywhere yet, and as PS2 owners are likely to read this thread, I'll shuv it here.
According to the Official PS2 mag, the UK PS2 online adaptor will be BROADBAND only, i.e. no 56k facility, like the US adaptor has There, hope that's highlighted enough. I hope it's complete bollocks, too. |

(Rant On) Yep, a 60Hz option is good, but no widescreen... It's not too complicated to do (change the projecttion matrix so it has a 16:9 aspect ratio & fix up the field-of-view if required; no more than an hours work for a coder) and us people who have shelled out the cash get to use all of the screen. (Rant Off)

Got Ring on the weekend - a very classy movie.

Is there any release date yet for PZ 2? Do we even know for sure if it will be released here in the UK?
If its not I will be extremely depressed. |
