It baffles me why there is no Fatal Frame VR yet

I know Fatal Frame and VR are both niche but VR is so perfect for this game especially we already had great mechanics from other VR Shooter games when looking through scope from a sniper rifle. Looking through obscura lens would be amazing.

Will there ever be a remake/remaster of FF1-3?

Hey Fatal Frame Fans!! I’ve been wanting to play FF and found out that steam doesn’t have all the games. just 4-5 and I really want to play the originals. You think fatal frame will ever release a port of the trilogy on newer consoles?

Ren Hojo's story in Maiden of Black Water is incredibly messy (SPOILERS)

So i just finished replaying Maiden of Black Water like, yesterday. First i did from when i played the game first on Wii U many many moons ago, and i have to say that, overall, the story is okay. It's definitely not one of the best plots in the series, but it's interesting and serviceable enough.

But one thing that caught my interest was how weirdly written Ren's campaign is, and how weirder it's conclusion is.

So, Ren's whole focus is on the Ghost Marriage aspect of the ritual, and how his ancestry with Dr. Aso connects him to two different maidens that were eventually sacrificed, Shiragiku (the white-haired little girl) and Ose (our main antagonist). On top of that, we have his whole situationship with Rui, his assistant.

Now, why do i have a problem with his campaign? because none of his story branches get the focus they should have, and by the time we reach the end and we gotta make that final choice, it really doesn't feel as heavy as the game clearly wants it to be.

Sure, his ancestor had a link to those two maiden, but we never really learn enough about said link to warrant a huge emotional response from us. I guess him and Ose fell in love because, in the end, he says so. I guess him and Shiragiku bonded before she died because, idk, we see them hide under some stairs? I'm not saying that Dr. Aso spending time with them and them seeing them/knowing they died wouldn't be traumatic, but i wish there was more weight to it, and it doesn't help that that's just HIS trauma, not Ren's, who is just serving as a proxy for his great great grandfather to solve his problems.

And then comes Rui, who is just...there. I thought we would see more stuff regarding her and Ren considering she's in love with him, but after his first playable chapter she's either just following him and getting possesed or asleep.

He has somehow way too much and not enough going on at the same time. Like, pick Shiragiku or Ose's storyline from the beginning and follow that, but not both (and also pick Shiragiku cuz she's much more uniquely tied to Ren and Yuri is already dealing with Ose on her storyline), cuz in the end when you have to choose, you kinda just leave the other one feeling unfinished and pointless. Imagine choosing Ose and then the whole stuff with Shiragiku just doesn't have a conclusion at all.

Anyway, rant over, i still like Ren and MOBW as a whole, but these characters and story concepts deserved a lot better.

MotLE: Questions about lens usage and completing the ghost list.

I finished MotLE (Switch remaster), and am doing New Game+ on hard now. I have two questions:

Least aggravation when completing ghost list?

My old fingers don't have the speed they used to, so I miss some specters that move quickly out of view. I can't just reload episodes from the beginning to see them again like I could in some of the other games. It seems like the only way to get them is to keep reloading from the nearest save if I missed them while playing through again? I'm at the first one I keep missing, the klepto boy who stole the fifth mask in the dining hall saying "gimme that" and running away. Even just reloading the save point right outside of the dining room is a hassle since I have to go through all the menus and loading, then when I come into the dining room it plays a little cut scene, then I need to get the nurse specter on the way to the boy, etc. etc. And that's bad enough right here near a save point, let alone some of the ones deeper into the game I know are far from a save. Is there really no easier way to drop in and snap specters I missed?

Lenses "when equipped."

For lenses that happen "when equipped", such as the Extend lens, does that have to be the "active" lens or just has to be equipped into one of the three slots? I would have assumed it had to be active, but I felt like I got value from the chain shot one on the flashlight even if it wasn't the "active" one?

And a combo . . .

Does activating the Slow power slow specters to hepl me get them more easily? I'd liek to test with this boy but I don't have enough spirit power in ye olde camera atm . . .

The concept of “blossomed ghosts” in ff4 is so good tbh i wish future games would do the same like have ghosts have another form and do more damage

Question about combat in Motle

I just bought the game and absolutely love it. It's my first game in the series and the atmosphere is amazing.

But I'm trying to understand the combat a bit better it someone could answers me a couple questions.

-Aiming Sometimes ghosts will dodge as I'm trying to charge the camera and I have trouble getting the bar to not deplete. Is there a specific sweet spot on the ghost that I need to follow like head or torso?

-Evade I am not sure if I'm doing this one right. Is there an animation your character does when you evade? I've been pressing the button and avoided damage. But I'm not sure if it was just dumb luck or I evaded since I haven't actually seen an animation for it yet.
