Would anyone buy this after the disaster of a "haunted house simulator" that was released earlier this year? This sounds slightly more intriguing, but I'm sure only the best parts were shown and, after the first game, can't imagine this one coming together in any way positive enough to get people to shell out $50. Can your character, at the very least, move more than .2 miles per hour? Gah! I hated the first Wii "game." I'll keep my eye on this, only because I love survival horror. But unless there are some huge improvements, I won't be picking it up if/when it's eventually released. #calling

I'm pretty sure this will never see the light of day. There's no market for this on the wii. but what's the point of commenting, I doubt anyone will read this comment due to this horrible commenting system.

@brainboy77: I know I don't constitute an entire market, but this, at the very least, has me intrigued.

P.S. I don't really fully understand the new system either nor am I totally comfortable with it but I'll wait a week before undergoing my old man rant about "TEH CHANGE!"

@NeVeRMoRe666: I guess, but hardcore, third party games have a bad track record on the wii. I remember when I only had a wii, the conduit was like the next big, thing, comparable to halo. Once I actually got Halo and Cod4, my expectations for wii games rose to heights devs like high voltage didn't come even close to.

@brainboy77: I'm not so sure... I think "Harry Potter being groped by a horde of ravenous fans" might work on the Wii.

@brainboy77: damn people, stop hating on the new system! you can edit now!

anyway, i disagree, though if you're saying "will it come to the US?" i agree prolly not, which sucks. why arent fatal frame 4, ju-on and this kinda thing bound for our shores? id totally support them. mebbe if Silent Hill 1 remake does well, they'll see the market for awesome horror titles.

@Tehman: I hope it has T-mobile or something, I don't want to walk around New York City for a reception just so a ghost could tell me I'm going to die.

Lol, I was listening to "Ghosts" by Michael Jackson and logged onto Kotaku... Right at the part where you hear a woman screaming in the background, this woman that's being molested by hands shows up... Freaky @_@

Wait... He or she?? I really can't tell.

I prefer my horror games without fighting or any form of battling. Every time I play a Silent Hill or Fatal Frame I longingly wish I could skip the enemies and just focus on solving the mystery while taking in the atmosphere.

I hope this game focuses more on scares, atmosphere, and mystery while less on fighting monsters. The first few times it's fun, but these games ofter require lots of double-backing. It just becomes tedious having to kill the same monster repeatedly. It's less fun and more a chore.

@AncientUnknown1: The press release mentions avoiding attacks, but nothing of attacking yourself. Hopefully it's more Fatal Frame and less Silent Hill.

@Mike Fahey: Thanks for the heads up. Maybe it's more like Haunting Ground or Clock Tower. I'll keep my eye on this game.

@AncientUnknown1:
You may also want to keep an eye open for the new Silent Hill coming out on Wii. I played it at E3 and it was looking very good. As far as I could tell, there wasn't really any combat. Although there WERE enemies. You had to flee from them and basically, solve puzzles while avoiding them. It made for a very frantic experience.

@AncientUnknown1: You ever hear of/play Capcom's Haunting Ground? I never beat it, but it's a really interesting game. You never fight, you basically do what you just said - run away from the enemy while trying to solve the puzzles. You have to find places to hide and stuff. Check out a review for it.

That main picture looks really, really bad. Not because of the graphics, but because that person does not look scared at all. Looks like she's laughing. Anyway, wiimote cellphone? Could be interesting...

Looks like some combo between Silent Hill, the Ring, and Fatal Frame. Could be interesting.
