The story is cut between 3 main characters but it does feel incredibly arbitrary with more of a focus on each of the npcs in a specific chapter than a grand overarching plot. Although the plot wants the antagonist to be the Bayonetta-like shrine maiden it ends up largely being the mountain itself. Project Zero: Maiden Of Black Water feels like its story was written during the PS2 era of horror games. Everything in Project Zero: Maiden Of Black Water is as smooth as you’d expect and the resolution bump and clean up of text and visuals give it more polish than I was expecting. Now it’s running on the significantly more powerful PS4 ( and PS5 if you picked up that version) it carries across the motion controls as an optional extra and everything runs a lot smoother. The novelty of a motion controlled camera with the WiiU controller screen showing the photos was cumbersome and the performance wasn’t great. Project Zero: Maiden Of Black Water wasn’t fantastic on WiiU. Almost every Switch big success has come from the WiiU and ran a lot better for porting to more powerful hardware. The PS2 originals were always classics to me and the Wii Japanese only game Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse had a lot of uniquely brilliant terror to it ( there’s a fantastic fan translation online) Now I wasn’t the biggest fan of the original WiiU release of Project Zero: Maiden Of Black Water but with Halloween knocking on our doors will the PS4 release make this the perfect spooky Halloween experience or is it just a wet blanket?įor all its issues the WiiU had games that were essentially ahead of the hardware they were on. ![]() The series has always been steeped in Japanese horror tropes and the gameplay will switch between slow paced third person spooks and fast paced action photo taking. The Project Zero ( or Fatal Frame) series is a rare kind of Japanese horror game that focuses more on the ghost and paranormal side of terror rather than the grotesque or bizarre. That film is the Japanese original, Ju-On. Not because it’s bad, in fact it’s just too good at terrifying me and left a hell of a lasting impression. There’s one horror/mystery film I’ve seen once and that was enough, never again. ![]()
