The producer of the famous horror series Fatal Frame (known as "Zero Plan" outside North America) has always "never really given up on the idea of developing a new game."
But in the end, Kikusuke Kikuchi said in an interview with "Nintendo Everything" that it depends on intellectual property holder Nintendo.
Kikuchi said: "Even if I have these hopes, this is a series released by Nintendo for us. I am only responsible for development." "So, even if I say I want to do another game, it does not necessarily mean that will happen."
Nintendo has been the co-owner of the Fatal Frame series since 2012-the series was first launched by developer Tecmo. The publisher's latest North American release in the series, "Fatal Frame: Black Water Girl", is a digital exclusive work of Wii U.
Kikuchi also answered questions about the possibility of remastering games in North America, including Deadly Frames 2 and 4 (the latter has never been released outside of Japan), and said he would like to see the series and upcoming deadly games Continue to frame the movie together.
Kikuchi said: "Therefore, I must admit that there is a certain distance between my personal ambitions and ambitions and the feasibility of such projects." "Obviously Hollywood movies are being produced and will enter the Western market, so it is clear that I personally hope Not only bring the movie, but also the games that accompany it to our audience. "
He added: "With regard to" Fatal Frame 2 "and" Fatal Frame 4, "Nintendo owns the copyright, so we do not have a say in this regard." "Another factor is that currently I basically supervise the Gust brand and ensure The short-term survival of production lines and team members is also very difficult, but in the long run, I have never really given up on this idea. Therefore, in the short term, it is not completely realistic at present. "
There have been rumors of Hollywood film adaptations since 2003, and it was not announced until 2014. But it wasn't until this year that any substantive details surfaced. In February, director Christopher Gans confirmed that he was working on film adaptation and the newly produced Silent Hill movie.
The director said at the time: "I have two horror movie projects with (producer) Victor Hadida," "I am working hard to adapt the video game zero plan. This movie will be released in Japan. I especially do not want to come from Japan Unplug the game from the robbery of the haunted house. And we are still building a quiet hill. "
