Would you recommend the new remake?🫶🏼

Hey y'all. I've been considering buying this for my switch 2, and was pretty excited about the idea of it tbh. It looked really cool and was such a fresh new idea, and looked genuinely scary from the trailers. I've never played the franchise before, and really love third person horror.

I decided to check out a playthrough of it, up until you meet like the first two-three ghost enemies. It didn't look as scary there. 🤔

Therefore I'm wondering if the new remake is worth it? Obviously I'm assuming the vibes are scarier at night in the dark with my buds on, but still. I also heard there's far more enemies in this one, and also lots more story content plus several new endings?

Is the story good?

I will be trying the demo ofc!

🥰 appreciate the answers.

Other media with Fatal Frame vibes?

I love the setting and ambience of the games. Are there any books, comics, movies, etc. that made you say "this feels kind of Fatal Framey" in some way?

Some aspects of Uketsu's Strange Houses gave me a bit of a Fatal Frame feel, especially when they investigate an old, traditional Japanese farm house.

Whether it be because of a tie to folklore (not necessarily Japanese, but bonus if it is!), traditional Japanese architecture and layouts, haunting stories, etc., I'd love to find more media that feels Fatal Framey!

I created the Osaka House from Fatal Frame II in The Sims 1 — Part 1

Fatal Frame II : Crimson Butterfly (Project Zero II) just dropped its remake on Steam, and I’m absolutely obsessed with this game. I poured all that passion into recreating it in The Sims 1.

This is the Osaka House—the first place the twins explore after wandering into the "Lost Village."

I put so much effort into the details that I couldn't fit all the screenshots into one post, so here’s Part 1.

Take a close look at the very last photo. It’s that chilling scene where the sisters are finished exploring and about to leave the room, only for the older sister to whisper, "There's someone behind the door..."

Photo Points on Nightmare

Do we earn much more points on Nightmare camparised to Battle difficulty?

I'm starting my NG+ and I want to know if it's worthy the difficulty of nightmare mode to farm my points.

The Osaka House from Fatal Frame II in The Sims 1 — Part 2

I renovated the Osaka House
from Fatal Frame II
in The Sims 1 because
there’s only so much you can do
with limited CC lol

Fatal Frame II is a PS2
Japanese horror game,
and the remake came out
on Steam in 2026.

In the game, the player explores
the lost village, trying to find
a way out.
So I took the screenshots
to make it look like
my Sims were exploring
the house.

The original house is
supposed to be ruined,
but I renovated it so
my Sims could live there
a little more comfortably 😂

Done with Fatal Frame 2 Remake

Finished my completionist run, which took quite a while, especially considering how expensive the outfits were. I also ended up buying the maximum number of Reversion Beads since I still had leftover points. As a longtime fan who has played every game in the series, I have to say it took some time to adjust to the new battle system, but overall, it was still fun.

My first Nightmare run wasn’t too bad after the patch, and I barely skipped any random fights since I was still making a profit from them while grinding for points.

I also discovered that the points earned from specters depend on the film used and the distance, which motivated me to aim for the highest score possible. I didn’t quite manage to hit 800k in the end, but I’m still pretty satisfied with my final score.

It took me under 80 hours to finish, and overall, I’m very satisfied with the experience. Here’s hoping we get a remake of 3 next!

Film types in FF2R. Reload speed and damage

I don't remember that anyone mentioned it since the release of FF2R. Also, I might be wrong, because I didn't test it that much.

It seems films of different types in FF2R work exactly like in FFMoBW. Or more precisely, it turns out in FFMoBW, they were working that way all this time. On my first playthrough a few years ago, I didn't notice it.

Fastest to reload, deals the least damage Type-90
A bit slower, but more damage Type-14
Significantly slower, much more damage Type-61
Slowest, huge damage Type-00

In FFMoBW it's less noticeable, since overall reload speed is higher than in FF2R.

I didn't really check FFMotLE. It seems different. The only thing I know is that films don't reload when switching, unlike in FFMoBW and FF2R (partial reload). I didn't play FF1, FF2 and FF3.

In the end, I don't remember games clearly explaining it. Only something like "this film has higher exorcising capabilities". Also, the numbers on films are not intuitive then. 90<14<61<100?

I am playing FF1 PS2 emulator version, I think this version have issue, or my computer is too slow?

Question is, when I fighting the ghost, especially this one, when the yellow cycle appears, the ghost at the same time attacks me. Or when the words are full, hasn’t appears the yellow ring, the ghost disappeared and then attack me before I use yellow ring attack him. But youtube version(maybe the original PS2 version), attack ghost is very simple and fast, very easy meet the yellow ring and attack ghost. I think if my version plays like this hard, later I can not pass the more difficult levels. Is my computer too slow for emulator? or the bug? Should I download pc version? My graphic card is ATI Radeon mobility hd 4670. i5 cpu and 8gb memory.

What is a Cocoon Shot??

Greetings Experts!

Please add this to my list of crazy nonsense.

I have searched this subReddit, multiple gaming sites, Google, ChaptGPT, and the actual manual.

Does anyone know anything about a Cocoon Shot? I keep getting them but I have no idea what they are.

The first time I got one, it was when all 3 villagers overlapped and I Core Shot all of them at once. But the next time it was a solo encounter. That blew my theory to bits.

Any knowledge or even theories would be awesome!

Conflicting Reports on Remaining Sun

Apologies in advance for wordiness.

As you may have guessed, I'm trying to get Remaining Sun. I'm a completionist at heart and it's biting me in the bum. I've heard conflicting info on what's needed. So, I've come to the experts. Without further ado...

  1. I played through Nightmare Mode but>!revealed Osaka's hidden room too early. Despite getting Child's Note 3, the game refused to acknowledge it because there was no fight and I acquired it before Chapter 5.!<

I'm wondering if it was a glitch or a purposeful rule others have encountered.

  1. I'd been told that I needed to complete all of the side stories in one go on Nightmare Mode. I've accomplished this in Normal Mode before and have acquired Mio's Sparkling Spirit Stone. Is it enough to just equip her Spirit Stone at the final save or are getting all the side quests in Nightmare truly necessary?

  2. Finally, and most importantly, >!does Sae really have to be defeated in under a minute?!< I've heard that rule is actually for Deep Crimson Butterfly (the wiimake). If it's real for the newest remake does anyone have tips to achieve that feat? It seems like it would be pretty difficult given film limits. If necessary, I would love a link to a video of someone who has done it so I might see their technique.

I would be so grateful for answers!!

I made a Chinese guide site for Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake （零 ～红蝶～ REMAKE 中文全流程攻略索引：章节路线、收集、Boss 与射影机）

Hi everyone,

I made a Chinese guide site for Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake:

https://crimsonbutterflyzero.com

It is an unofficial fan-made guide project mainly for Chinese-speaking players, but I wanted to share it here in case it is useful to anyone playing with Chinese resources or helping Chinese-speaking friends.

The site currently includes:

  • Full walkthrough index by chapter
  • Separate route pages for each chapter
  • Endings and New Game Plus unlocks
  • Camera Obscura mechanics, Fatal Frame / Fatal Time, Shutter Chance and enemy behavior notes
  • Combat ghost index
  • Floating ghost and bound ghost photo checklist
  • Twin doll collectible guide
  • Spirit beads, Blood Cleansing, Type-Zero Film and spirit stone collection pages
  • DLC, demo save transfer and platform/version notes

I recently did a large update to the site: the collectibles database is now split into cleaner sections, and many pages have image-based tables so players can check locations more easily while playing.

The site is still being updated as more player notes and corrections come in. If you notice any mistakes or have better information, feedback is very welcome.

This is not an official site. Game title, trademarks and official assets belong to KOEI TECMO.

Hope it helps some Chinese-speaking Fatal Frame fans.
Thanks!
