When did Fatal Frame became 1st party?? It launched in PS2

And 1st party published??? Never heard of it, a game is 1st party when they are developed in house, 2nd party when a 3rd party company develop a IP that belongs to one of the 3 companies and sell exclusively on that system, or a 3rd party when they are independent..

In your reasoning a 3rd party exclusive game should be counted as 1st party?? this how some people counts Gears of War and Halo as first party up until now?? Fancy that.


You are aware Nintendo bought the rights to the Fatal Frame series a while back making it first party, it's why the series is only sticking to Nintendo platforms in recent years.


If you have rights for a IP but don't develope it yourself it's 2nd party not first.


Wrong it's first party no matter what as you yourself own the IP people don't class Kirby Epic Yarn, Metroid OM, the Mario Party games, F Zero and Various Donkey Kong games which have had outside developers so the same applies heres second party is when you have an exclusive contract with an independent dev for their games but don't own their IPs much like Imsomniac and Sony.
