![]() Therefore, besides sound effects, music, and the context of the current location (such as morgue vs regular hallway), I believe that brightness also greatly affects the atmospheric presentation of a horror game. It is generally believed that humans will feel a certain level of fear and unease towards dimly-lit environments. However, it is also the increased brightness of the environment that makes me feel like the remastered version's ability to generate horrific atmospheres is nowhere better than the original. Additionally, the increase in brightness makes it easier for players to see and distinguish various objects and environmental props, making the overall gameplay more fluid. ![]() One of the most obvious improvements is in the lighting, which is now more realistically rendered, and the overall environment modeling, such as wallpapers, wall cracks, and fog, is now presented in higher definition. Try searching online for comparison videos of this remastered version versus the original Wii version, you'll notice that the environment quality this time is on a completely different level. In addition to character models, the game also made some improvements to the environment texture. If their visual quality stood out significantly as opposed to other objects, I guess players wouldn’t possibly buy it. It’s understandable as the game requires players to raise their cameras and take close-up shots of the wraiths. Moreover, not only have the character models been reworked and refined to evoke players' “protective instincts” towards the female protagonists, but even the models of the wraiths have been renovated. Modern anti-aliasing technology has been taken advantage of, making the animations appear smoother. Compared to the original game, it's not hard to see that Koei Tecmo has put a lot of effort into improving the game's visual presentation. Since this is a high-definition remaster, I should talk about the game's visual quality. Mysterious events unfold as they approach the truth, and the trio must protect themselves at all cost. ![]() Detective Kirishima also returned to Rougetsu Island in pursue of You Haibara, while searching for Ruka. In order to look for her two friends, the main protagonist of the game, Ruka Minazuki, disregarded her mother's warning and returned to the island. However, shortly after their arrival, Madoka was killed by vengeful spirits on the island. Two of the remaining girls, Misaki Asou and Madoka Tsukimori, returned to Rougetsu Island in search of the truth. Eight years later in the present day, two of the five rescued girls died in similar circumstances to the island's residents. ![]() Two years later, a mysterious disaster occurred on the island, resulting in the deaths of all of its residents, who appeared to have witnessed something horrific, with their hands covering their faces and their expressions twisted in extreme agony. Detective Choushiro Kirishima, who was trying to track down You Haibara, found and rescued the girls in a cave beneath a hospital on the island, but they had all lost their memories of the incident. Ten years before the game's start (1970), the suspected serial killer, You Haibara, kidnapped five girls on Rougetsu Island during the "Rougetsu Kagura" ritual festival, which is held once every ten years. Thus, what follows is my experience as a newcomer to the Fatal Frame series, playing the HD remastered version of Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse for the first time. However, the recent buzz surrounding the series has sparked my curiosity even more. I have been aware of the Fatal Frame series for some time, but due to me being easily scared, horror games have been actively avoided. Although fans have been eagerly awaiting a new game, I believe they would still be happy to revisit previous entries within the series with high-quality graphics on the latest consoles, while preparing for the "possible" release of a new installment in the future. Fans had hoped for a new installment in the series for the current generation of consoles, but instead, a HD remastered version of the previous instalment, Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse, was recently released. To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the series, Koei Tecmo released a high-definition remastered version of Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water last year, which sold well and received many positive reviews. ![]()
