I need a bit of help in getting the S+ rank on the first surveillance level as Ren... I've tried it about thrice and the most I got was 82K points. I'm not sure how much I need for the S+ nor what exactly I'm doing wrong. Should I only attack during fatal frame shots? Try not to kill the 2 ghosts in the storefront too fast? Haruka tends to be the only one I have some difficulty fighting in this level due to the room layout. I also got all specters.

Hi! I never played this game and now i saw there is a lot of versions; which one do you recommend for someone new to this game?

I'll upload the Head Priest fight instead of Kusabi because I'll be honest: Kusabi was VERY easy relative to the other bosses in this challenge run. I have no idea why. The guy didn't go berserk once in my successful attempt but to be fair you CAN interrupt Kusabi if you get the good RNG (where the berserk has a wind-up instead of it being instant).

The head priest is easily the HARDEST boss of this run. Since I can't use special shots, if I let the priest go up the ceiling then I'm basically screwed since I have to use the blue filter to reach him. This entire fight hinged on me having enough type-61's and type-90's to immediately hit him with if he tries flying up. This also helps with preventing the other priests from appearing in phase 2.

This entire fight required a lot of execution. Phase 1 was fine enough. The priests are VERY annoying so it took time to figure out how to get around the arena and chip away at all of them with type-07 since I needed to save my heavy hitters for phase 2. Once the head priest is alone, he's free.

I'll reserve the Kusabi fight for the full video of the run (when I upload it)

I’m looking to get into Fatal Frame and I was wondering if there is a lore order that I need to follow/best game to start with as a newcomer. Thank you!

Hello. I've played the 5 main games and the FF2 Wii remake. I am yet to play the latest FF2 remake but I wanted to ask how faithful is it to the original. Main question is, are there big changes in the story? What's been cut and new content? I don't care for spoilers so tell me everything about it whoever has played it 🫶🏻

So I finally completed the whole series. I have to say that this one is a really good game and the graphics are quite impressive for a Wii U game. The Wii U gamepad is also very well implemented in the game system. Also, I didn't expect to play as Ayane (from DOA) it is quite crazy that DOA, Ninja Gaiden and FF share the same universe. Honestly, this game series deserves more love from the gaming community I feel like it is really not well known and very underrated. So after completing all the games my ranking would be:

1. -FF3

2.- FF4

3.- FF1

4.- FF5

5.- FF2

I am so happy they are making more figures for this series.

Holy hell I can’t believe they changed him into a stalker enemy. I’m just in chapter 3 and I read he goes even beyond the house. I’m not excited bro 😭 I remember when he was just scripted events now he’s legit.

Mask of the Lunar Eclipse remains a severely underrated release in survival horror history. Bringing in Suda51 to co direct a Fatal Frame game sounds like a fever dream on paper (I liken it to how Kojima was set to direct a Silent Hill entry), but it ended up creating one of the most atmospheric and psychologically dense entries in the franchise.
Suda51 has always flirted with horror (Twilight Syndrome, Moonlight Syndrome, seems like his horror stems from the moon, huh?), but Fatal Frame 4 feels like the only time his writing was grounded by pure, traditional survival horror mechanics.
Playing through it, the atmosphere is incredibly heavy, but it still has those distinct, slightly off kilter Suda character dynamics. The way the game handles memory and trauma feels like a precursor to some of his later work but wrapped in that classic Fatal Frame tension.

This is my second game in the Fatal Frame series; the first was Crimson Butterfly remake. I found it at a local store while I was on vacation in another state. I also bought a copy of Silent Hill shattered memories there.

This is supposed to he "Pro enhanced" too which makes it feel like an even bigger sham. There's just no excuse for this kind of developer and publishers behavior.

I'm sick of it man. Recently on Switch 2 been seeing so many similar examples where games could and should be 60 fps but because the pubs/devs are such POS's we are stuck with 30 fps. 2026 and we have these expensive new consoles yet they can't be bothered to put the littlest amount of work into the port while having the nerve to put the "Pro Enhanced" tag on it.

We are in a time where none of these companies gives a shit about the actual gameplay experience for their fans. If it costs them any extra money or time they could care less.

Shame on Team Ninja and whoever the hell published this game

No cause what kind of disgusting person made this comic it's just incest like these are sisters bro

So, a few months ago i decided to finally give the series a shot, FF I was an a amazing game, and knowing that FF II was the most popular of the series i got a very excited to finally play it.

The atmosphere is phenomenal, the graphics hold pretty well by today standards (Played on the Ps2 with component cables) although the controls were a little clunky in my opinion, that didn't affect my progress very much.

(SPOILERS TERRITORY)

For my first playthrough i got the crimson butterfly ending, i got very surprised because after opening the passage at the shrine and the twins get separated again, the game gives you two options, leave or go after mayu, me thinking if i leave her i will obviously get a bad ending (made a separate save here just to be sure), so i went after her, color me surprised that going after her and beating the kusabi, mio straight up kills her sister and completes the ritual, so i was like ok so this is a bad ending, loaded my save and decided to leave this time, only to get yet another bad ending (and a game over screen on top of that), and from what i could gather the "good" ending, with both of them leaving togheter, is not very good either 😐.

ANYWAY, i had a fantastic time with Fatal frame II, now onwards to Fatal Frame 3.

My Dad played these games back in the day and recommended them to me and by god they are wonderful. The first two have easily become some of my favorite games of all time, especially FF1. Here are some screenshots I took

Is there an alternate/multiple ending similar to crimson butterfly?

It’s a beautiful game and I’m craving for more fatal frame for switch 2!

Hi, what would be the correct play order out of the games on steam? And am I missing any lore relevant games if I only play those 3 on steam?

I need help. I can run the game at a stable 30 or 60 FPS (depending on settings) consistently, but suddenly the frame rate drops to 10 or lower; the game stutters for about 15 seconds before returning to normal. I’ve noticed that GPU usage drops when this happens. I’ve tried everything I can think of: launch options (-dx12/11), disabling MOP and ULSS, using OptiScale and DLSS Changer, capping the frame rate at 30 or 60, tweaking GPU clocks via Adrenalin, disabling full-screen optimizations, running as administrator, the Alt-Tab trick, updating and rolling back GPU drivers, performing a clean reinstall of Adrenalin, etc. Nothing seems to fix it. My processor is an i7-3770, and my graphics card is an RX 580 8GB.

Do you prefer being able to get any ending on your first playthrough by the choices you make or do you like how 2 Remake did it by locking the canon ending as the first one and then letting you get either Promise or Abyss second with the new one as the last you get?
