Tycho from Penny Arcade talks about how scary Fatal Frame IV is ... and he hasn't played it yet!

Anyone who has played the Fatal Frame games would know they are a part of one of the scariest survival-horror series. Tycho from Penny Arcade knows this. He wants to buy Fatal Frame IV, but he's absolutely terrified of it already!

Fatal Frame IV forum
I've been reserving a portion of my consciousness for Fatal Frame on the Wii, with the thought that its core gameplay (killing ghosts with cameras) would be vastly improved by a pointing device. I always forget when I buy these Goddamned games how horrifying they are, and watching a few videos of the new one has convinced me not to buy it, so maybe this isn't good marketing. The menacing spectres often have something about them that is... wrong, on some level, which is how Japanese horror in general does its business. The sympathy the game evokes for these things is inexplicably potent. But it was the audio in those clips, just as it was in previous games, that made playing the game impossible. I pulled the second Fatal Frame out of the disc tray and threw it across the room, once. I had to make absolutely sure that it wouldn't get back in.

    LOL that's funny, being to scared to even buy the game.

    But yeah Project Zero/Fatal Frame was scary enough to make me stop playing it lol.

    It's good to have a series that is genuinely scary.
