Silent Hill is gone and Fatal Frame is on hiatus once again. We have two The Evil Within games but they don't really scratch that exact itch. Resident Evil 7 also gave me some Ghost Horror vibes but it's still Resident Evil.

That's why I bought the Yomawari Collection for Switch on release day. I would also love to see Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water on Switch. It's really great and creepy.

We seriously don't have enough Japanese Ghost Horror games on modern systems. Let me buy Silent Hill 1-4 on my PS4 for example, that would be something.

I would pay top dollar for a Fatal Frame game on modern PC's and consoles.

Or a re-imagined Corpse Party.

I wish Sekiro had more horror vibes with its creature design like Bloodborne and Dark Souls. I'm 1/2 way through so I hope to be surprised. So far nothing made me "Nope Out".

Yes. Please. All of it. Junji Ito should write for them all. Remember how I said I never preordered? I lied. This is when I preorder.

Fatal Frame 6 on Switch would be hype.

This also reminds me that I still have White Day sitting in my PS4 backlog.

You can dream, but not too hard. From 2001-2005 you had the first 3 entries on non-nintendo hardware, then the next three (4 if you count spirit camera, I guess) that released from 2008-2014 (ffv being the latest on Wii u). It could change, but it seems unlikely.

It's the longest the series has gone without a new mainline game though (counting deep crimson butterfly), so hopefully we aren't too far from the next entry!

Picked up Death Mark on Steam and it's been helping scratch that itch for me. Would really love a new Fatal Frame.

This is why both Haunting Ground and Rule of Rose need the PS2 Classic treatment, OR full remakes. Seriously. They're both great and unique and they're both super pricey on PS2 (Haunting Ground up to $200 now and Rule of Rose nearing $400). Having them on PS4 would be huge.

Eh, I think we've had enough. I need other ghosts. Gimme a La Llorona game, or make Stay Alive real

We need more Japanese Ghost Horror everywhere. Sadly, this is a direct result of this genre being pretty much dead in other media as well, mainly movies. Although there still are a bunch of J-horror ghost movies being released in Japan every year, their popularity and quality is nowhere near the highs of early 21st century when the genre fully bloomed. It's a thing of a certain era and it won't be back until someone makes it look profitable again.

Fatal frame 1 & 2 on a ps4 would give me nightmares.
Sad about the state of this genre, only resident evil remains (7 was awesome horror wise).

This reminds me I need to track down the Fatal Frame 2 Wii remake. Been meaning to try to emulate it for a while.

I don't understand, why Nintendo? Love FF and would love one on my Switch, but if a new one comes out, isn't every console a possibility?

Nintendo reportedly owns a stake in the series, though I can't remember if these were actually misinterpreted and they only own some rights to the titles they were specifically involved in or what.

Nintendo was involved enough to own some rights to at least 4,5, 2 :deep crimson butterfly and spirit camera though, and given KT have a good working relationship with them, if 6 happens, it's probably the same way the franchise has been for more than a decade, as a Nintendo exclusive.

Again, PS2 era representing as best era. So happy I caught up on (most) everything I want.
Horror, and J-ghost horror, is extremely my thing.

Sadly, Kojima/Del Toro/Ito didn't get to usher in a new era of J-horror.

I'm still waiting for a dark Tokyo Souls/Yokai souls/Mushishi/Spirit Detective/Witcher 3 in Edo...I want all the ghosts.

Not Japanese (or on consoles), but OP might want to try the Indonesian horror games Pamali and DreadOut.
