FF2 is being ported to XB.
"Tensions will rise as Fatal Frame 2 on Xbox boasts a new mode that allows the player to move through the lost village in the first person view." Great!

"Timeline wise, is Fatal Frame II a sequel?

Keisuke Kikuchi: Fatal Frame I and II are both totally independent stories, so there is no connection.

Every time someone makes a sequel it is mandatory to ask…do you plan to make Fatal Frame into a trilogy?

Keisuke Kikuchi: Yes, I would like to make Fatal Frame in to a trilogy. Each Fatal Frame has independent stories, so if we have good ideas, the series will go on…"

What influences (movies, literature, urban legends) your work?

Keisuke Kikuchi: While eveloping this game, I researched a lot of materials, not only movies and literature, but also traditions and cases. I have learned unique atmosphere and feelings like an air from Japanese old novelist Seishi Yokomizo and the American movie the "Shining".

Dreamworks is making a film adaptation of Fatal Frame :) . Are you involved with the screenplay or any other aspect of the movie? Do you plan to make a videogame adaptation of the movie?

Keisuke Kikuchi: I have read the screenplay, but I am not involved in the movie. I think that I would make a video game that collaborates with the movie in some way, however, I do not think that I will make a videogame adaptation of the movie now.

Fatal Frame 2 is among my fav games this gen, IMO it is better than SH. Looking forward to FF3 and the movie. :p

That's the easy version of an answer to an interview like this - giving the correct answer will confuse people.

No I'm not telling either.

Unfortunately the backgroud story isn't that original. You'll see when most of the mystery is unraveled. The cosmic law of unbelievable coincidance/similarity strikes![/quote]
