New Hudson survival horror trailers are Calling

by JC Fletcher { Nov 11th 2009 at 1:15PM }

Hudson released a pair of trailers for Calling, due out in Japan on November 19. We don't know if this will reflect on the actual scare content of the game, but the trailer above is creeeepy, bearing all the hallmarks of Japanese horror -- by which we mean terrifying little girls getting in your face, and that weird head-rattling motion (in this case performed by dolls).

After the break, see another video demonstrating gameplay. Not only can the Wiimote be used to simulate the in-game cell phone, but apparently that phone can be used as a teleportation device? But ... that would only be possible if you were some kind of ghost. We're scared.

so they are coping the Grudge ? If I recall the game released last month was Terrible. A copy of a terrible game = something for Angry Nerd to review.

Funny how this game looks much more dark, creepy, atmospheric, better and interesting than the X360 survival horror game, Deadly Premonition.
Here you can see Wii games can be good (I'm not saying it's good, because I haven't played it, but it looks very interesting).
It's not about resolution of number of polygons. It's about how good you are at making games.

PS: Also, the Hudson logo at the beginning is hilarious, and Joystiq, you put the same video twice.

The music at the start sounds so familiar. Is it from somewhere else or just reminding me of something?

Exorcist I'm sure.

sounds like the music to the halloween film franchise.

Yep. That second video really shows the gameplay off. Especially the part where I watched the same trailer that I saw at the top of the post.

Yeah, I noticed that. Kinda odd...

I think this looks pretty good. And MUCH more impressive than that "haunted house simulator" that was The Grudge.

I'm afraid of this game. Afraid I'll play it because it looks like a bad game.
