![]() ![]() Pretty much everyone who visits this place gets the uncontrollable urge to commit suicide as well as witness various paranormal activities. The story of Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water centres on Mount Hikami, a place of worship nestled among a creepy forest and several old haunted shrines. For those who would rather a more traditional control method that does not rely on motion controls, there is an option that makes the game use the analogue sticks, but the gyroscope must still be used for fitting objects into the camera's frame. Koei Tecmo made the conscious choice to slow all the action down in order to create tension in sequences when there are several enemies attacking. This is a movement scheme that provides a lot of friction against users who panic easily around the ghosts, or those who are used to responsive third-person shooter controls. When the characters don't have the Camera Obscura at the ready, Fatal Frame controls like how a good survival-horror should: weighty and tank-like. Since this entry in the franchise is more focused on the action thanks to these new controls, the ghosts and spirits themselves are also a lot more aggressive, and have all kinds of new tricks that are sure to give any survival-horror veteran a surprise or two. This control method is fluid and perfectly captures the feel of actually wielding the Camera Obscura for accurate 360 degree first-person manipulation. The most obvious change in Fatal Frame is how the characters can combat the tormented spirits, thanks to the Wii U GamePad, which gets full use out of the 1:1 gyroscopic sensors. Quite a bit of attention to detail was given to character models, especially in their faces and eyes. From the advanced water effects and how the artists were able to render the most supple wetness and cloth/hair physics, it is clear that Koei Tecmo had their top people working on Fatal Frame. If you're wondering if Black Water is worth any fuss in the first place, check out GameSpot's review.Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water starts off with a powerful intro that showcases just how far the series has evolved. We also saw this with Microsoft and Sony's last-gen systems GTA V updates outpaced the size of some PS3 hard drives, while numerous games can't be played on the hard drive-less model of Xbox 360. Xenoblade Chronicles 3D wouldn't fit on the SD card included with New 3DS systems, while last year's Bayonetta combo was too big even for the 32 GB version of the Wii U. It's not the first time this has happened with a game on a Nintendo system. (SD cards can't be used to store digital games on Wii U.) Even those with the 32 GB system might be forced to delete some of their games, as the full 32 GB is not usable. While the size of the games is slightly reduced after installation, the initial size is still too large for anyone who doesn't have either a 32 GB Wii U or an external hard drive. Things only get worse if you want to download the remainder of the game (technically offered as a $50 upgrade for the free trial version), which requires an additional 8,186.6 MB download. The download for this on the eShop requires 9964.8 MB, already in excess of the 8 GB of storage the lower-end Wii U model is equipped with. Unfortunately for those with certain Wii U systems, the digital-only game is too large to download.īlack Water offers a trial version that allows access to the first portion of the game. This week's eShop update brought with it the latest entry in the Fatal Frame series, Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water.
