Play Fatal Frame 2 remake for Wii
Then stop playing three series

All of them are worth a playthrough as I understand it. Generally it seems to rank 2 > 1 > 3 > 4. I dunno where Maiden of Blackswater stands since all I kept hearing about it was censorship and what not.

1 on Xbox. 2 Directors cut on Xbox. 3 is only on PS2, guess you can emulate it at higher res.

I haven't played the Wii remake of 2 but it looks significantly different to the original version. I'd just play the original first then the remake.

4 needs to be emulated with translation patch on Dolphin and you should wait until you can do that with 5 too otherwise put up with a censored western version with fucking nintendshitter characters shoehorned into it.

2 on Wii had pretty clunky controls so i never finished it. 4 was ok and I liked Maiden of Black Water.

Just saying.

Was there ever a fan patch that let you get all of them?

1-3
rest are shit

All of them are worth playing. Don't skip a single thing.

Play the X-box version of Fatal Frame 1
Play the Wii-make of Fatal Frame 2
Play the PS2 version of Fatal Frame 3
Emulate the Wii exclusive Fatal Frame 4
Play the Wii U exclusive Fatal Frame 5
Play the 3DS exclusive Spirit Camera though this can't be pirated.

My personal ranking is:

5 > 2 Wii > 3 > 4 > 1 > Spirit Camera

That said, it is the only series where there's nothing but good entries. Every game is great, even the spin off material. Try and get the Euro versions for as many entries as you can. Especially Spirit Camera because the U.S versions of the Nintendo entries are all butchered.

>3DS exclusive Spirit Camera though this can't be pirated

it can't? Didn't know 3ds hacks had limits.

What was wrong with what he said?

this, and avoid remake. Static camera is best camera.

5 being the best
Playing spirit camera
Movie has nothing to do with the games

pretty much everything and I'm not even the guy calling him out.
Remake is shit, ranking should be 2 > 1 > 3 > 5 > 4

Spirit Camera needs an AR book to be played. And the book needs to be messed with during play, like turning it, closing it, putting certain pages together.

I've only played 1 and 2 so I didn't know.

But yeah I prefer a static or panning camera to over the shoulder too. The Wii Remake looks alright for a replay, but I think the original looks better, again, just from watching gameplay clips.

Every survival horror game that switches to over the shoulder camera always loses some of the magic so I am not surprised the remake wasn't as good.

>1 that high
>4 that low
>3 not the best

The fuck am I reading?

1 is the spoopiest

2 is the best at everything else

3 sucks but has three or four pants-shitting moments

4 is horribly glitched garbage, don't play it

How came PZ1 is still perfectly playable but this piece of garbage aged like milk?

2 is the easiest, most casual game in the series and the remake casualised it even further

Terrible controls
Cryptic

Fuck you.

PZ1 was way to slow. It's the scariest but also the shitteist in regards to gameplay.

Forbidden Siren is a much better game than PZ1 and every other Project Zero game as well.

MY EEEEYES

Aside from Sae, you mean.

I don't know what it is with the FF games, but they sure do love their 1 hit kill End bosses. I think Sae is probably the cheapest and hardest boss in the series.

>PCSX2 still can't emulate the PS2 games properly

I'll never play this series like this

>playing the PS2 version of 1 and 2

Why?

PZ nails the atmosphere, but Siren plain outdoes it. That said, most of Siren 2 was pretty silly.
As for PZ, I'd personally rate them 2>3>1 but say that 1 is still great. The stories are all good, but the sequels improved the gameplay without major mistakes.
I played both Siren 1,2 and PZ 1-3 emulated, whats your issue?

>xbox emulator

3 had the worst by ten miles, though I think she got nerfed in some version.

>Ignore upgrading the guy's camera
>Have to fight Kusabi

FUCK THIS

Not like I got another choice. I either emulate the PS2 versions or I don't play them.

Are the Xbox versions simply superior?

You have to keep switching between rendering modes while playing, that's just cumbersome. I'd rather not ruin the experience by doing that.

Go buy an Xbox fat. Amazing console you wont regret it, especially if you pick up a chipped one.

Siren 2 wasn't as good as 1 I agree, it also had to much shooty shooty compared to 1. But it was still a good game.

I know Siren is obtuse as fuck, but if you just use a guide to skip the frustration of not knowing what to do next, it's a god tier game.

I liked PZ2 as well, but PZ1 felt almost a chore to finish because the gameplay was so slow and bare bones. Good atmosphere though but so overbearing. Could barely play for more than 15-30 mins at a time.

I just kept it at software. performance can drop at times and the res is low, but hardware messes with too much stuff in general. I mostly don't even try hardware anymore.

They're all good.
People only say 2 is the best because it's babby's first and most of those retards never played any of the others either.

>Not owning the games physically

Already got one m8

So what ghosts are an instant reset for you on Nightmare?

>It's a Wandering Monk episode

>living in Australia

Then what's your problem. Go pick up a used copy from a Cex store or from Ebay or some shit.

Play the sequel, it's so much better and still holds up. I don't get why it's so overlooked, people only ever talk about the first and Blood Curse. The stories aren't even really related so you don't need to play the first one to play the second.

Gun levels kind of always sucked the most and Siren 2 has guns everywhere, that's why I didn't like it that much.

>I don't get why it's so overlooked, people only ever talk about the first and Blood Curse.

Because it was never released in the United Burgers of Amerifat.

Their only option is to emulate or import it along with a euro PS2.

5 might be the one that people bitch about for censorship or no physical copies or its mission structure, but god damn it had some of my favorite ghosts.

Tall Lady and Umbrella Girl are both amazingly creepy. Fatal Glance needs to be something that's kept in the rest of the games. I loved seeing how every ghost came to die and haunt the mountain.

I'm not that other user.

Playing it right now, this game aged like fine wine m8, no other games have held my attention like this for a while.
It's also one of the best lovecraftian videogames there is

>Because it was never released in the United Burgers of Amerifat.

Why is that so common with these kind of games?

Siren 2 and Fatal Frame 2 Wii are Euro only. Fatal Frame 5 was physical only in Euro. Fatal Frame 4 was planned for an EU only release but the glitches stopped it from happening. The American version of Spirit Camera has a horrible translation, censorship and completely missing features compare to the EU version.

I thought they were fine. It got really tiring first one how little you could do in combat. I liked how in the sequel there was a lot more variance in combat abilities from character to character.

Americans are fucking plebs and there is no market there for any non casual games.

Euro's are cultured in the arts.

>tfw Australia got put into the PAL region and gets sent Euro versions of every game

So lucky we aren't grouped with burgers on this one.

I think that, along with a few other games here or there, are the only times I've been glad to live in Australia. Not to mention we often get updated or bug-free versions of games the US got. I know FFX for example, had things like the Dark Aeons as standard for PAL regions.

But I still fucking hate on how many games in the PS1/2 area we missed out on.

>We got Parasite Eve 2 and not the first one.

T-thanks Square.

I agree it's one of the only things I like about being an aussie. Things were usually released late here so they had time to patch things. We get the most functional versions of DOA games on Xbox as well.

But then again we also get every second game censored or banned.

>tfw Silent Hill 1 has some monsters removed in the Aus version
>Rule of Rose was fucking banned here for le pedophilia or some shit

It's a double edged sword honestly. I really should just emulate the US version of SH1 one day.

Everyone knows about all the new shit that was censored, but what old stuff did we miss out on. I know I've seen Murifats and Euro's talk about a number of games that I've never seen, or never remember seeing in stores here.

Fucken really. That's pretty BS.

i have the xbox versions of fatal frame 1 and 2. should i just emulate the ps2/wii versions anyway for better graphics? i imagine the pixels would be distracting from the horror

Xbox versions are the best, and have extra features, so no.

Trust me, I know the pain of it. That's why I got an American PSN account and got both games from there.

Rule of Rose was banned in the UK and consequentially Australia, but PAL versions still exist in other euro countries like Russia and France and such, so getting a version that'll play on an aussie PS2 is possible (but ridiculously expensive)


Oh, and you think that's bad? Along with Parasite Eve, PAL regions never got Xenogears, Suikoden 3, Xenosaga Part 1 or 3, Phantom Dust , Radiata Stories, Front Mission 4 and 5, Romancing SaGa, Saga Frontier 1, Raidou 2, Legend of Mana, Persona 2, Wild Arms 2. Not even fucking Chrono Cross.

I could go on for hours.

I'll tell you how. You just pick them up and play them ffs r u retarded

>Not even fucking Chrono Cross
Or Chrono Trigger until the DS port
