Fatal Frame Series Is No Longer Called... "Fatal Frame"?

February 07, 2009 in Rumor comments 13

Gaming Target has gotten hold of a rumor that the upcoming Wii horror game Fatal Frame IV might not even be called "Fatal Frame".

The series already has different names for each region. In Japan it is called "Zero", in America it is called "Fatal Frame", and in Europe it is called "Project Zero". So it seems odd that Nintendo would want to confuse fans even more by calling the game something completely different alltogether.

[Discuss in the Fatal Frame IV forum]

Now, Gaming Target has recently heard from a video game industry analyst (who wishes to remain nameless) that Fatal Frame IV is coming to America in 2009, but it may not be released as "Fatal Frame IV." Why any publisher would throw away the cult of popularity the series has gained over the years is questionable, but the desire to start fresh, and make Fatal Frame more than a cult series, could be the impetus behind that decision.

        Because I'm tired. Tired of all this bullshit from Nintendo and Tecmo.

        And I don't even want the game (I played the first one recently, thought it was shit), I can only imagine how tired and pissed off fans of the series will be.

          Oh... That's okay. I thought you were critisizing me submitting this article.

          But yeah, it's frustrating to say the least.

      No wonder this site's community isn't getting any bigger with the attitudes of some of the members here. >_>

      I liked the other FF games, But i'm worried that if they change the name, even more people will not know what it is and sales will suffer even more ;-;

          When used as in a appropriate sentance expressing an actual opinion is fine, Using it on its own in a article you clearly don't care about is twattish

    I often wonder why companies decide to kill of a well known brand name as well. Interestingly enough the company I work for is doing the same thing, and I totally disagree with their call on that.
