The storyline of Maiden of Black Water concerns the eerie Mt. The immersion that is sacrificed for some of the graphical aspects is recovered through the haunting use of environmental noises and spectral voices in the audio mix. As with so many horror games, the audio really shines through headphones and this is best played that way.
FATAL FRAME 4 WII U SERIES
There’s an expected level of cheesiness to the voice actin (although this is a far more sombre and serious series than the likes of Resident Evil) and the audio design is especially well done.

Visual cues and button prompts help to highlight interactive points or collectables which fits in well with the paranormal aspects but does make everything feel very game-y. I guess the good thing about ghosts is that you don’t need a run animation!Įnvironments are atmospheric with everything coated in a hefty filter of grime and decay, while frequent bursts of VHS style flashbacks are especially effective and fit the whole mood of the game better than the more polished aspects.

This can be a little jarring at times, but the spectral nature of your foes mean that they are not similarly afflicted. Animations are kept from the original and many look stilted and unnatural, with the main character’s running animations in particular looking especially dated. The graphical enhancements are noticeable, but only really go as far as increasing the resolution and some texture improvements. I hadn’t actually played Wii U release, though I had been a big fan of the earlier games on PS2, so was particularly excited to finally get my hands on Maiden of Black Water. There’s also the new addition of a Photo Mode to show off those freshly upgraded graphics, and a number of costumes to dress the characters up in. What you get is exactly the same game as the 2014 Wii U release with some higher resolution visuals and tweaked controls to fit the different systems. Remaster is definitely the term, in this instance.
