The Project Zero / Fatal Frame series.

[Chez Daja]

Has anybody played this? I looked for another topic like this but failed to find one.

I've been wanting to play these games for ages, but haven't been able to find them anywhere. I know it's about two sisters that are confronted by loads of ghosts in some house? But I'm not really too sure what it's about. Anyway, I feel I must play this series, but haven't yet had the chance. Is it any good?

Could you tell me more about what it's about?? I hear they're are three in the series. I believe my best friend wants to buy me one of these games for my birthday, but I think he's having trouble finding it.

Would you recommed this?

(I love survival horror and games with very deep meaning behind them. I adore Silent Hill and like Resident Evil, would you say this is a series for me?)

Project Zero is a really good scare game I mean you got things crying and moaning everywhere, things flying past your face and some pretty nasty scenes so yeah its a good game no where near as good as SH

I'll have to check this out, thanks!

Anyone else have anything to say? Maybe you could tell me some of the storylines without too many spoilers?

I'd like to know a few more things before I spend loads of money on this series. (I've found it for an expensive price...)

I have only played the first one from my remembering was that a couple of murders (or a strange goings on had been happening at this house) a younger reporter had been sent to report the mysterious behaviour of the house but he has now gone missing too so his sister attends the house and thus the story begins

project zero 2 is better than One. Far more expansive with more people, and also a better sightjacking system so you can take animals, and other people aside from the Shibito's, as well as the new Yamajimba enemies, theyv'e not been explained yet, but there afraid of light. Also no knowledge of on needed but it helps.
Need to play Fatal Frame still.

Oh, I see, thanks.

Ton, I thought Fatal Frame was just the name of the Japanese Project Zero?? Ugh, I'm confused. So they're different games?

[ash2k]

Hang on a minute Sightjacking is in Forbidden Siren not Project Zero thats a completly different game

Fatal Frame = Japan Name

Project Zero = Europe Name

Project Zero = Camera, Ghosts

Forbidden Siren = Shibito's, Sightjacking

Thanks guys!
Man, I'm even more confused then before . I guess I'll google or wikiepdia the name and take a look... If anyone knows more on this, t'would be appreciated.

Thanks again.

what you confused about?

[Snave]

project Zero is alright but incredibly scary for me In it you play a girl who is in search of her brother in a deserted building (typical!) Unkown to her he was taken by ghosts (not spoiling! Very beginning of game) as she walks around the mansion or house she finds her brothers camera, which enables her to see and defeat ghosts. So armed with a camera you traipse around the building in search of your brother unlocking new mysteries and horrors as you progress through the game. This is only the first game I speak of. The girls running is terrible! Its soo slow!

btw it would make sense if Fatal Frame was the Japanese name coz you have a camera and yer..

This is the best horror game EVA!!!!!!!!!!! I love it! If it's okay, I'll give you some of the Storylines for the games. (IF YOU DON'T WANT SPOILERS, LOOK AWAY NOW!!!!!!!):

Fatal Frame I:

Mafuyu Hinasaki is an aspring Journalist, hoping to become a Novelist. He finds out that his mentor, Junsei Takamine, went to the deserted house of Himuro Mansion. With his assistant Tomoe Hirasaka and Koji Ogata. When they went missing for two weeks, Mafuyu decided to conduct a private search for his mentor. Inside he is captured by a ghost named Kirie. Nine days after, his sister, Miku Hinasaki, goes to the Himuro Mansion in search of her brother. She gets locked in by the power of Kirie. All she can do is unravel the mansion's grusome past.
Inside, first she dicovers what happened to the Novelist Group. Then, what rituals the Himuro family used to perform. The three main ones were: Demon Tag, Demon Blind Ritual and the Strangling Ritual.

Fatal Frame II: The Crimson Butterfly:

Mio and Mayu Amakura are visiting an old child's play area in the woods, which will soon be lost due to the construction of a Dam. Mayu Amakura (the eldest) sees a Crimson Butterfly, and chases it deeper into the woods. Mio follows her and it starts to get darker, and eventually they find themselves trapped in The Lost Village. A village that is held in the grip of never ending night. On the day of a special ceremony, the village vanished. The Ceremony, was so inhuman, and so cruel that no one was even allowed to speak it's name a loud. Twin sisters enter the Hellish Abyss. And the younger twin...kills the other...

Fatal Frame II: The Tormened:

Rei Kurosawa lost her fiancee in a car accident. While taking photos for her job as a freelance photographer, her assistant, Miku Hinasaki (Familiar?) leaves and waits in the car for Rei. Rei then finds her deceased husban...Yuu. While sleeping that night, she has horrible nightmares about a Manor and a young woman with tattoes spread all over her body. Or, are these dreams real? Miku Hinasaki then dreams of Himuro Mansion and her brother is there...Kei Amakura (Mio and Mayu Amakura's uncle) starts having dreams of the Lost Village. What can they do? Dream...
