Horror vidya are not horror anymore...
i've got just the game for youhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/3572580/Hachishaku/
- Keep the monster hidden for as long as possible. The human imagination houses the greatest horrors, and everyone's imagination is different -- do not presume to know what scares people.- Use A. I. to screen players fears, then compile monsters based on their responses. In this sense, give the enemies an under-the-hood "character creator", as distinct from players.- No more forced first or third-person perspectives (what Capcom is now moving towards with 'Requiem') -- allow players to play as they like and, instead, use the aforementioned tools imbue fear. For if the player is taken out of the game by the very play perspective itself, they will never be immersed enough to have their fears evoked.- Create a game world that is not restrictive and realistic, as distinct from funnelling players into "scare boxes", and breaking immersion with impassable shin-high obstacles and the like. A small game world that is fully and realistically interactable -- door hinges can be shot off with appropriate firearms; gates and fences, climbed over; roof access; broken window climb through at the risk of taking damage etc. -- is far superior to a sprawling map where everything is a glorified, linear dungeon.- Randomise enemies positions / spawns for each attempt at an area / chapter / mission / NG; enemy scripts adapt to the environment, react to current player status, and can retreat, hide from the player, as well as attack; and, as broached, limit enemy reveals until absolutely necessary.- Provide multiple characters to play through the game with, in order to diversify the experience and cater to a broad a character taste as possible. As with play perspective, if players are not endeared to the char. who they are assigned, the experience is hamstrung.

Is this the thread?
>>732332951Seems so
>>732331720There is a severe lack of games with body horror
>>732331720>witcheck so high that people are actually posting horrorso this is the power of Shiraoki-sama...
>>732333189Sex.
>>732332265I was gonna engage with this post but>Posting mamizou sloppa Not looking good.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
What happens if you don't look at Curren?
>>732331720I really love Japanese horror.>Siren>Kuon>Fatal FrameAnyone got any recs for games with spooky spirits?
>>732333248Didn't realize this was a stealth thread I was gonna make my own horror game one but saw this one, my apologies
so... who's gonna start?
>>732333690Do not apologize, talk about horror games (if you want). It's in my opinion, the best genre to explore different themes and ideas. Which game's been stuck in your mind?
>>732331720they are also not vidya anymore99% is walking sim slop
>>732333770I will start by saying the real horror is the gacha, I do not look forward to my spooks (or lack thereof) tomorrow.
>>732333908>Which game's been stuck in your mind?Nightmare Creatures
>>732333997what about this?TORENA-SAN, BOOOOOO
i forgot to send a wuv you today
>>732334006Never finished playing this one, I remember back when I was a lad the demo scared the shit out of kiddo me, is it worth emulating despite all the jank?
>>732334291What the fuck is that
>>732334325It's pretty jank but it can be fun once you get a feel for the clunkiness the environmental ambience is top tier at times although the boss fights are a pain in the ass
>>732334291>i forgot to send a wuv you todayTrue horror
>>732334372>he hasn't trained his witThat's a chaser from parasite eve 2, that series has some of the best freaky monsters designs. God i miss it.
Umas for this feel?
Why only Japan makes good horror vidya now?
be honest anons, can i aim to higher results with these cards?
>>732335021for sprint cm? nospeed cards arent that bad though
>>732332032Based.
>>732335021Assuming you're using a 4/2 composition, your speed cards are in a good place but your wit cards aren't all that great, you got pretty decent stats considering what you have avaliable. I don't think you can get much better unless you high roll but do still try. I think you can push it to 900 wit and cap speed. Who knows tomorrow you might get spooked with good stuff.
>>732331720>Horror vidya are not horror anymore...ikr>discord open on 2nd screen>checking chat every 47 seconds>mumble rap epic megamix playlist blasting in background>using my amazon basics headset of course>screen brightness set to 100>gamma set to 1.8>windows open>playing at 10am>already on 3rd can of red bullHORROR GAMES AREN'T SCARY WTF
>>732334472The level timer (yeah they call it adrenaline but its blatantly a level timer) is a really bad design decision that drags the game down needlessly.
>>732335021where's your event SSR dober wit anon?
>>732331720This isn't a horror game thread is it
>>732335308i dont have it, i dont have carats
>>732335324No as no scary games (like outlast or FNAF) have been posted yet.
>>732335378also, i started playing half of december
>>732334694Horror in Japan is such a broad topic that it’s hard to generalize why it "works better" but in my opinion, modern Western horror often goes big with monsters, gore, jump scares, and over the top set pieces. Its storytelling tends to explain everything and build lore, leaving less for your imagination. Japanese horror games, on the other hand, excel at atmosphere and letting you fill in the blanks yourself. There are still fantastic western horror game like Condemned: criminal origins and Alien: isolation but I can’t think of many recent ones I’d call classics.
>>732335426Its okay you don't need it, it's a mediocre statstick. There's not all that much room for improvement with your cards. You could try using the fuji SR as a makeshift statstick once you level her up.
>>732335420Outlast? Yeah, it's pretty anxiety inducing but FNAF? Come on man.
>>732335647actually i have it at max level, that pic is old
>>732331720>Thought it was a genuine horror threadI want horses banned off this board
>>732335252Forgot about that maybe that's why I didn't finish my last playthrough
>>732335426>>732335378try this deck I guess>kitasan>windy>halo (taishin if you're running halo)>fuji kiseki>ardan>borrow fine motion/nice nature
>>732335808We are talking about horror vidya though. You should post some spooky stuff.
Glad janny is focusing on us over stuff like this >>732334940
>>732335919Oh my now that's some horror shit.
>>732335871>ardanAt LB1 it barely gives any stats, better to go with marvy for tail held high and focus on mid race.
>>732334694they literally don't
>>732331720I remember a jap indie game from like 5 years ago with this exact look and tone and I can't remember what it's called. Damn.
>>732335913>That scene with the Tazuna skinwalkerCafe's career having a horror theme was so refreshing, I would love to see more of her dealing with cryptids.
i'm scared
>witlets made a console war thread>hijacked by console war tardskekaroo
>>732333490Damn, I really do realize that Curren is evil now.
>>732336081Are you sure it was Japanese and not a western game with a Japanese setting?
>>732336106One of the reasons to run end Cafe is so you can click the top option in this event without fucking yourself over.
>>732336278Witlets should be culled, this is comfy. I like talking about horror vidya.
>>732336106How would cafe deal with shiraoki, given that it's an actual malevolent entity ruining fuku's life.
This thread feels too disingenuous, I'd leave this one purely for horror
>>732336441mixed threads are kino though
>>732336480Yeah but I don't think many anons like getting fooled like this
Anyone up for Aquarius practice rooms?41432199
>>732336304No, it is an actual Japanese game. I found it, it's called æ•£æ© "Walk" by Kazumi studios.
>Pic related but in tracen.Would play, theres definetely some spooky shit going on given all the events where you visit the school late at night.
>>732336529Nobody has dirt horses
>>732336529>AquariusI havent even started....
>>732336529You neigha already has ace for aquarius?
>>732336537oh that one! I remember seeing it posted around, never played it though
>>732336537That's actually the game i was thinking of, I specifically asked if it was a western game because I thought this was a puppet combo game or some shit like that, turns out im just a dumbass. Yeah that one's real solid the atmosphere and environment are super well done.
The only game I was genuinely scared by was subnautica. And it happened absolutely randomly - I was swimming above the canyon above the blood kelp forest (the small one near red grass biome) and battery of my seaglide ran out and then immediately Lava Castle music started playing.
>>732336529Could enter one or more tt umas to help fill the room, have nothing for CM yet.
>>732336529>building for that CM now when MANT comes out with it
Yeah fuck you, shadow demons, I do what I want!
>>732336529maybe set it to public since no one else seems to be joining
>>732336709Puppet combo could never. That fag only knows how to make janky unfinished slop where the "scary" part is getting earraped.
>>732336529Are there any odd interactions for Aquarius? Looking at the track it seems the beginning of the track is actually turf. Does it affect the acceleration and positioning of the racers?
>>732336786>Inescapable Fear>Fear was escaped from???
>>732336826It's still counted as Dirt.
>interesting topic>it's a gachashit dogwhistle thread
>>732336775Subnautica had potential but instead of doing anything with the actual scary part of the game(the abyss) they just cut it off there. Stupid ass neon wonderland game.
>>732336529I'm stuck in the parent mines for now, come back in a week.
>>732336879Half the thread is us talking about horror games, you can talk about em (which in fact, I encourage you to) or you can look for another thread.
>>732336775Horror oftentimes relies on the unknown and unexpected, when you are playing vidya that has horror elements but isn't really a horror game, that lack of expectations for horror only serves to augment the fear factor>>732336879You can still talk about it if you want
>>732336783Is this true?
>>732336974Yes actually, its expected to drop halfway through round 2.
>>732336783I though MANT comes out during Longslop.
>>732337002That's bullshit, you have to make two sets of aces then.
>>7323365297/9>>732337002That's assuming the timeline is correct
>>732337002>halfway through round 2.That's great.
>>732336775I have a visceral, primal fear when playing subnautica. I legitimately can't do it, i play a lot of horror games its arguably my favorite genre but i just can't, the deep sea is one of my biggest fears. Its the only one that does that to me.
>>732336529>Clubless toreinaJOIN /herse/
>>732337091it has never been wrong, I doubt they'll delay it for after the CM, especially considering that>the banners' expiration dates line up perfectly (it drops with kitasan)>they dropped unity during leo cup
>>732337091People can't join after the timer goes below 15 minutes.
>>732337015Thats gonna be the first MANT CM, thankfully thats like the only longslop.
Megabanner when?
>>73233718410 hours.
>>732337130It would have a much more intense effect if it actually looked like how the ocean looks IRL instead of the alien world shit. I mean seriously look at any youtube video of scuba divers, especially commercial divers working on oil rigs, it's nightmare world
>>732335871i used 2 sped 4 wit for Halo, and 2 speed 3 wit and borrow SSR power Falcon with Groundwork for Bakushin
>>732337091Taikis win!
>>732337130>Its the only one that does that to me.There is a horror game that gave me that feeling too that I tried playing ages ago that I don't really remember. I have a massive phobia of bugs and it was a survival horror where things like giant centipedes or roaches were the enemies, it was straight torture and I could not continue, I couldn't handle it at all.
>>732337382>random TT Taiki almost taking the win against such beastly competitionJust goes to show there is no point in tryharding sprints and miles.
>>732337382I have Taiki fatigue
Ban horsefuckers
>>732337382gg, Taiki-enjoyers will be able to take it easy next CM. Unless front Taiki turns out to be way more consistent
>>732337517Miles are fair and balanced, if you can't counter taiki that's a skill issue.
>>732337589>Still a taikiletSo I'm forever bricked huh
>>732337625My Taiki was the one that won i have nothing to fear.
>>732337082You weren't around for when unity dropped?
>>732337674>TaikislopSkilless
>suddenly feel like doing 2 pulls
>>732331720Horror video games reached their natural cap years ago. Horror is an inherently depressing genre, it's impossible to make good horror that is also "cool" or "fun", because that inherently dilutes the fear and anxiety. Games need, or want, to be fun, because most people don't like playing a dreary game. Horror also works best in short form, and games want to be long, the longer you spend with fear, the less scared you become. I could go on, but the point is that horror just doesn't work well in video game format.
Couldn't running triple front straight up disable taiki from ulting and thus make her job?
>>732337679I was. That's the reason I never read the story and events in the unity scenario. Annoying as fuck.
>>732336537Artificial jank. Actual real PS1 games didn't look and animate THAT badly.
Horror is an inherently flawed concept. If you go into something expecting yo ge scared, you're never really going to be scared. Besides, if you're an adult who still gets scared of ghosts/zombies/monsters,/etc. you need to get mental help. You know what scares me as an adult? The check engine light on my car, a phone call from work on my day off, a mark on my skin that I'm not sure was always there or not
>>732337880>>732337882This is an Uma thread. Go home.
>>732337863That's assuming Taiki isn't catching up during second half of the midleg, if her ult is delayed it becomes stronger.
>>732337920It's my thread now, horsenigger
>>732337920Shut the fuck up. All discussion is welcome
>>732337882Seems like you're a overcompensating manchild.>You know what scares me as an adult? The check engine light on my car, a phone call from work on my day off, a mark on my skin that I'm not sure was always there or notBasic life stress scares you, showing you lack maturity. At the same time you awfully disparage others:>Besides, if you're an adult who still gets scared of ghosts/zombies/monsters,/etc. you need to get mental help.Very immature.
>>732337920No nigga? We've had countless crossover threads, I'm enjoying talking about horror games too.
>>732337920Nice try falseflag-kun, trying to falseflag against non-gacha anons to try and make them mad at us, you are not very subtle
>>732337882This is a 40 year old dried crusty boomer who lost all his emotions already >>732337983This is a 22-year old who thinks he's an adult
>>732337920holy falseflag
>>732331720>>732337882Horror and fear are negative feelings, negative feelings should be avoided by pure human nature, thus I will not play horror games because why the fuck would I ever want to make myself feel worse? it's retarded
On the subject of j-horror I want to recommend the game Hollow Coccoon because I've never seen it mentioned anywhere before. I won't say much because it's better to just play it yourself totally blind, but it's a hidden gem very much worth trying, one of the most memorable horror games I've ever played. Torrent it if you must
>>732338130Cool, might give it a go. I don't usually play horror, but this thread makes me wanna try it.
>>732337858I mean i disagree horror in games works differently than in movies or books, but that doesn’t make it ineffective. The interactive element amplifies the fear and excitement because players are not passive, horror doesn’t exclusively have to be miserable to be effective, fear and engagement aren’t mutually exclusive, in fact fear works best when players care about the stakes and have agency. Also>Games need, or want, to be fun, because most people don't like playing a dreary gameFun is subjective.
>>732337882I go into games expecting to be scared and then allow myself to get scared by immersing myself and suspending my disbelief. It's great.
>>732332265thank god you don't actually make games
How can horror games be scary if ghosts aren't real?

You're going to run Curren for Capricorn right?

How do I prevent my team from competing with eachother and getting in eachothers way? I feel like when I'm trying to run triple pace they end up brocking and backstabbing eachother.
>>732339529that's the point of triple pace, you only need one of them to do good anyway
>>732339529By not running triple pace
>>732339024>>732339391Transcendfags have earned their degree on tourism, yup yup

>>732339529you did give them Groundwork, right?you're not running triple pace without all of them having Groundwork... right?
>>732339529bro your duel abusing gutsmaxxers?
>>732339529This is why you do not run triple pace. They get in each other's way precisely because they want to win.

>>732339771no retard just give them groundwork to lucky pacemaxx, that's the only reason to run triple pace, getting lucky pace
>>732339670Fair enough I suppose, I can only hope her getting released will save her reputation, I did always pity Golshi, Teio and Daiwa fags I actually think Golshi is funny and her hot springs was...memorable
how good will digitan be for aquarius? she has forward march, which is a stupidly strong skill that does literally everything, I wonder if she'll be the one consistent late

Has anyone actually gotten draws in the 3rd/4th/5th races before? I couldn't believe it the one time I got a draw in the second race.
