What are some horror games that are actually scary?
>>739459964This doesn't look scary
>>739459897Resident evilSubnauticaAlien Isolationall in VR
>>739460124I don't have a vr headset
>>739460070Of course not. Wait until you're in a house looting shit and suddenly you hear/see doors opening outside your vision cone. Then the brick shitting starts
>>739459897Spooky’s house of jumpscaresAny game with a spider in it
>>739460070uncs shit their pants looking at 2D birds on their box computers
>>739459897If you start up condemned in the dark with over ear headphones you will be scared. Never been scared of a game till I tried playing them in the dark with headphones. It's the only way to play horror if only because you can't hear the sounds in the actual direction they're coming from properly. It literally has a guy in this sadistic fucked up voice whispering in your ears at random times saying>You're gonna die tonight >I'm gonna kill you>You're deadAnd last but certainly not least >Heavy breathing that starts far away and eventually gets right next to your ear.

>>739460124Don't forget The forest, that shit's the scariest
Games just like movies can't be scary, at most they can force an involuntary reaction out of you through jumpscares
silent hill 3
>>739460221but its 2d
>>739461551no, i've been scared before playing games
Resident Evil 7 is the scariest game ever madeEspecially when you get to the ship and face the horror of playing that dogshit section for the next hour
Depends on what spooks your gook but I always recommend Afraid of Monsters: Director's Cut.
first playthrough of Voices of the void is pretty scary.
>AoM DC / CoF (sorta cheating but whatevs)>SH1>Darkwood>IMSCAREDThe unHoly Cross of HorrorPicrel are some of my favorites, not necessarily scariest (especially They Hunger, the coziest horror mod oat)
>>739459897VisageOutlast 1 ( the 2nd game is retarded dog shit with scripted chase sequences every 5 minutes )
>>739462131>Picrel are some of my favoritesare you underage or something
>>739462309afraid of monsters launched over 20 years ago anon....
>>739462309No. What are your favorites?
>>739460070>>739461067Designed horror sections aren't really scary (minus the second dream, that one was cool) but the gameplay constantly keep you nervous (when you are playing for the first time)
Fatal Frame 2
>>739462694i said scary not horny
>>739460124VR isn't fair, anything is scary in that shit. Genuinely one of the best ways to experience horror they've ever made
>>739459897pic unrelated
>>739459897Silent Hill 4Silent Hill fans hate it though because its scary and actually makes you feel like a weak man trying to survive in a hostile hellscape
>>739463845i just hated the reuse of the same locations
>>739463845*BURP* *BURP* *BURP* *BURP* *BURP* *BURP*
>>739463891What is it with zoomers and not being able to handle backtracking or seeing an area more than one time? What the fuck is wrong with you niggers?
>>739464119I'm 35
>>739464214Did you grow up playing hallway shooters or what?
>>739464259no i barely gamed when i was younger
I'm 35 and gamed since I was a toddler on a NES and dislike backtracking tooHallway shooters are pure slop
>>739463845oh look, one of SH4 apologists has arrived
>>739464405>I am old and retardedgood to know
>>739463845>Walter Sullivan, the main antagonist of Silent Hill 4, was inspired both design, story, and personality-wise by the lead singer of the American band Nirvana, Curt Cobain, who committed suicide by shooting himself in the head, and Kamiya, one of the main characters from the 1998 PS1 survival horror video game published by Atlus, "Hellnight" (known as Dark Messiah in Japan). A serial killer who killed his victims using handgunsHuh. I learn something new about Team Silent's Silent Hill games every day
>>739464695Source?It could be a coincidence unless a designer confirmed it
>>739464695What I love about Team Silent is how "connected" (tapped in as the young lads say) were with popular (american) culture. Twin Peaks, Satanic Cult craze of the 90's, rock bands, pulpy scary movies of the 80's, those green military surplus jackets, etc...While some other games try to show hints and small tokens of Japanese culture (which is relatively unpopular outside of weaboo fandoms), Team Silent went full on western culture. Capcom did the same with Resident Evil, maybe that's the reason they are beloved on the western world compared to Clock Tower or others.
>>739462131>>>>>>puppet comborest are good though
>>739459897sad satan
fatal frame 1 is probably the scariest game I've played, those ghosts get me fucked up2 and 3 are good too but 1 was a fucking struggle to finish
>>739464695yet another bonus point for both hellnight and silent hill 4 desu>>739464837>is this video game character that looks 1:1 like curt cobain really inspired by curt cobain?>is this survival horror blonde serial killer dressed in a blue waterproof coat with two handguns really inspired by this other survival horror blonde serial killer dressed in a blue waterproof coat with two handguns?ehhhhhh i don't know. probably no
>>739465487The game Hell Knight came out in 1998. As far as I know it wasn't a well known release.A popular Japanese manga also begun publishing in 1998 about a coat wearing pistol dual wielding serial killer.Starting to understand the problem now?
>>739464695Walter was also inspired by the main serial killer character in the 2000 movie "The Cell". The entire plot of Silent Hill 4 is basically just the plot of that movie
>>739459897You posted one
>>739465167>Japanese culture (which is relatively unpopular outside of weaboo fandoms)lol lmao even
>>739459964I couldn't finish it. The third hideout was so ass
>>739465884>overworked japanese salaryman when he sees people having fun on a vacationlol
>>739465370Thanks.Also, I completely understand the disdain; loud, short, overdone (not as much at the time) psx style, etc, but I just really enjoy the very blunt Slasher flick-inspirations in their games. I feel like many harrar games don't lean into that as much as they do. Dare I sound extremely pretentious and say that the jank adds to that idea.
>>739465945
>>739461551Two for flinching
Revenge of the sunfish
>>739465995NtA but why Nun Massacre tho ? That game got the most obnoxious loud sounds paired with retarded enemy AI. Atleast Bloodwash or that easter bunny game had an actual story arch
>>739464695Who the fuck are you quoiting ? Fucking AI ?
>>739463845based
Of the ones I personally played I would have to say Penumbra 1 and 2, Condemned Criminal Origins and Silent Hill 1 even though it was the 3rd SH game I played I thought it was easily the scariest of the series.
>>739466642>cutest sh girl stuck in a shitty gametragedy
despite hating horror games i never feel very scared by them. but that one section in cry of fear when you're in the apartments and get locked in a room and there's loud footsteps/knocking/whatever had me terrified
>>739466004Kek
>>739461569Use some imagination, you still have that right?
>>739466270You're not wrong (although the DE has a Jumpscare volume slider lol).Huge cop-out answer, but I just can't explain it very well. It was one of the few games that I had a hard time actually moving forward in. Fucking loudass noise was a part of it lel.The atmosphere was heavy, even with no sound happening. It was just pretty effective for me, I guess you could say I was scared haha.I could swap it with Sniper Killer or maybe Out of Hell, I guess. Maybe Penumbra Overture.>>739466792For sure. Spooky room.

>>739467413what did they mean by that
>>739467413Go on...
>>739467413>THIS is considered a fat, obese pig by Japanese standardsI know that their women over there are slim, but damm
>>739467780Burger Pig disgusting American
>>739459897First run of this is pretty good. The problem is once you learn the mechanics you start to meta game and overall it's very short.
>>739467780>170cm 68kg>23.5 BMIThat is indeed slightly fat.
>>739460291I'd say only the doll house DLC gets scary for spooky's. The main game is just an scp rip off.
The first Fatal Frame. Game expects you to just deal with it and git gud. Later entries are more refined, but way less balls to the wall.
>>739461569Idk what to say man, the atmosphere is pretty good at drawing you in.
>>739463841>silent hill isnt scary because...>uh... you can kill the dog or something
>>739470785it's not scary because you are bombarded with enemies, weapons, and ammunition, and the combat system sucks cock
>>739467413>Japan tries to make an average or straight up ugly looking girl>she still ends up looking cute as helllol. every single time. they said the same thing about Heather in all the SH3 interviews
>>739459897a lot of people don't like to admit it but stalker games. I don't necessarily mean the nemesis type where you're making a mad dash between save rooms but the basic premise of you being alone with something actively hunting you. there's just no comparison between something actively stalking you and a gauntlet of gremlins walking around in circles..
>>739462131Is that syntheticman in the top right?
>>739463845i like 1 the most but yeah 4 does the best job when it comes to immersing the player into the role of the playable character. the narrative, aesthetics, gameplay systems all come together in a perfect way to make it feel like you ARE Henry in a life or death situation desperately bashing monsters heads in with a rusty axe to get Eileen out alive. I like the thumping rhythm of the ambient music it really gets the adrenaline pumping and makes every environment feel dangerous. I think it is the best interpretation of an "action-horror game" ever made. The RE4/Dead Space style lean too into shooter territory where you feel too powerful but SH4 feels like a desperate fast paced struggle the entire game even though the combat system is the main focusI love the imagery of running down the stairwell of Walter's psyche between every level

>>739459897The boo mansions in Super Mario World
>>739459897Silent Hill 1 and Fatal Frame 1 are the ones I found the most unnerving. Some of the sequels in both series are good, but none quite match how hostile and oppressive the originals feel.
>>739459897>actually scaryDepends on what you mean by that. Too often I see tourists treat horror like its comedy, and then claim something isn't scary purely because its not rapidfire jumpscares.
>>739459897Part of RE8 and the dlc with rosemary. Re1 wasn't really scary to me.But it also depends whether you play it at night.
>>739459964Darkwood is really cool but plays like absolute ass. More people watched video essays about it than played it.
>>739463841>emulatorLMAO
>>739459897None of them. Fiction can't be scary unless you mistakenly think it isn't fiction.

>>739459964Darkwood was so good, I should really replay it but I just keep putting it off along with the 500 other games I should replay.
>>739459897Legit pretty intense for your first playthrough because the game's good at making you feel helpless. The alchemy stuff was also pretty creepy. Fiona's bouncing Fionas give you all the motivation you need to keep playing though.
>>739459964Not scary at all, but an amazing thriller game. Very tense
>>739475784sadly true. They were welcomed when it was the rich but all this travel for lowlier class of people is disgusting.
>>739475590spooky
>>739480856mirror room is a meme. i totally missed it on my first playthrough because i went inside, inspected for a few seconds, saw there were no items around, and promptly exited to investigate other roomsscariest part of SH3 for me is the sound design, the most effective sound for me was the nurses breathing it really creeped me out and felt like a very uncomfortable assault on my senses as soon as i entered the hospital level
>>739460070>I am not invested and i'm judging this game by one singular screenshot. Therefore there's nothing scary about it.>>739475590
>>739459897First Fatal Frame.Ikenie no Yoru.
>>739465884The ideal solution to this tourist infestation
There is nothing in any serious horror game that compares to suddenly noticing I'm unable to save/pause in Voices of the Void without knowing why.I never get used to it. It only gets worse, really.
>>739464695>curt>committed suicide
>>739482260>scariest part of SH3 for me is the sound designI think that's true of most horror games. Sound design is a lot better at creating tension than visuals or writing. I always found some of the odd noises with no clear source or explanation kind of unsettling in the Silent Hill games, like that one room where you can occasionally hear glass shattering.
og SH might not be the scariest game, it definitely has a unique mood and atmosphere unmatched by any other game in the genreit might lack in pure horror, but it's still unsettling at times, creepy and tensehttps://youtu.be/pjXsv2C92XM
>>739463845The ghosts, the twin baby, and Walter are scary. The rest of the dumbass enemies aren't (burping nurses, flesh head monkeys, shittier RE2 dogs, etc.)
>>739459964Tedious and not that scary
>>739459897That's a bit subjective, but here goes nothing:>Dead SpaceYou can have all the guns & ammo in the world, you'll die around the next corner, by some grotesque abomination>Evil WithinSame >Fear & HungerSaving is a cointoss, infections everywhere, limited resources, you'll die starving in the dark, alone. Also everything wants to raep or eat you - you can try getting a party going & find some good equipment, the game still hates you and wants you to suffer. You will suffer.>REmake 2Mr. X is just scary af, that fucker is unstoppable & wants to paint the walls with you. Also see DS & EW>Subnatica, anything underwater really, like BeneathFuck the ocean & its critters, but I got a phobia so>F.E.A.R Just a great atmospheric shooter with magnificent AI; see DS, EW & RE2There's more horror game I enjoy, but they're not *actually* scary, like The Suffering, Manhunt or Area 51. Awesome games tho, even if old.
>>739459897none, you are a fucking adult and it's pixels on a screen. That whole getting scared about vidya was just you, being a kid/teen. If any adult gets scared over any videogame whatsoever, they may as well transition, because there's not an ounce of testosterone in that faggot's body.
>>739475784Americans are judeonegroid goylems, yesMass tourism was a mistake.>>739481873>women are realNo way, wtf.
>>739462376>you cant play a game if you weren't born when it came outWhat kind of a retarded logic is this?
>>739483016it feels exactly like a nightmare but in playable game form
>>739459897>hard to control = scary
>>739459897The Mortuary Assistant can potentially bet the scariest game you've ever playedBut it can also be trash, since the scares are very much randomly generated
>>739459897the first couple of hours of Voices of the Void are fucking terrifying. when you figure out what's going on it just gets goofy
>>739472583Based. I genuinely love the random environmental scares in that game. There was one bit where you head upstairs, and they framed the shot so that your character is visible, and the bannister is blocking the hallway, then as you reach the top, the camera moves slightly to the right and there's a figure standing on the staircase where you just came from. The shot is only for like one second before the camera switches to the next view, and it doesn't have a sound sting or anything. It's so well done, I jumped out of my skin.There are heaps like that too, yet you might never actually see half of them unless you replay the game. It's a shame that the shadow monster QTEs get so repetitive and there are a few bullshit instant deaths, because to begin with at least, it's really fucken stressful, and they train you very well to check doors etc.
>>739483220>The average raging faggot who has to appear in every "horror <thing> is scary" thread to reassert his own fragile masculinity to a bunch of randoms on the internetKys loser
>>739483220to not allow yourself to be truly immersed and scared is the most cowardly thing of all
>>739483397>By golly! Forgive me, esteemed man of utmost honour. I had not unintended such intrusion upon thee important matters and therefore i must insist upon taking my leave and apologize for thy misgivings. I shall now take my leave kind siaaarr. I bid you adieu and wish thee a day of utmost excellence and wellness. Fare thee well.
>>739465884>niggers do that in their country>so they must do this in someone elses
>>739483991kek
>>739462131>They Hunger trilogyWow, it's been a while since I've played that. I think I still have the original files from 20 years ago on some drives too.
>>739459897>love atmosphere in games>find horror games boring>susceptible to jumpscaresI dont think I will ever find an actually scary game.
>>739483991
>>739483369being vulnerable is scary, you can accomplish that with rudimentary controls.There are no good modern horror games because devs are soulless goylem homunculi incapable of feeling human emotions like fear or uncertainty.Penumbra and Receiver 2 have mechanics suitable for a horror game.Silent Hill f has combat completely unsuitable for a horror game, made even worse on ng+++ where Hinako becomes a GOD - dodging, weaving and obliterating enemies with combos and perfect counters.Health, stamina, and weapon durability in a horror game shouldn't be visible to the player until NG+ or however long it takes for the player to stop feeling scared based on his frontal lobe developing pattern recognition towards game elements and mechanics.
>>739459897Cry of Fear had a jumpscare in the first three minutes that got me good. Then it doesn't ever do that again unless it's with an enemy spawn and I appreciated that.
>>739485237The enemy that spawns if you circle the tree in the old-town level got me
>>739482260IIRC the door gets locked once you enter and won't unlock until right before the room kills you or am I wrong?
>>739460070ZOOOM ZOOOOOOOOOOOM
>>739486682IIRC (uno reverse) if you are quick enough then the door wont lock. you have to actually spend time looking at the mirror and for the weirdness to progress for the door to lock. thats IIRC tho. IIRC.
>>739459897Depends, are you one of those brainless retards that keep spamming: 'lel that was comedy not horror, look how tough I am for not getting scared by fictional stories'?Or do you have a bit of imagination and enough brain to play under right conditions applying some suspension of disbelief when necessary?
>>739462131Should I play Cry of Fear? I've read good things
>>739486998no, its overrated edgy garbage
>>739459897D'lirium
>>739459897name another game which you can watch your heart stop then have the last few seconds of consciousness to try and restart it
>>739459897The only game that scared me was alien isolation, for me is one of the best game ever
>>739467413>her body reflects that as well: her legs are a little on the thicker side, her hips are wide,no wonder their population will be halved by the end of the century
>>739459897SH2 is a lot of things but "Scary" isn't really it imo. Once you're just playing it, it's suspenseful, tense, uncomfortable, makes me uneasy. But it is never "scary". It really doesn't have moments where you're afraid to turn the corner or something like that. It's not even "creepy" either. It's just bizarre and uncanny.
>>739487978i agree for 90% of the game but the very first red pyramid head encounter and the atmosphere of the prison scared me a lot especially the "ritual" hallway
>>739488086Yeah, the moment you just bump into Pyramid head definitely made me go "aaah"In fact, I just played that today. I'm playing SH2 for the first time as we speak, and I'm at the final boss now.
>>739488249post again and let us know your reaction to the ending and which ending you got
>>739487978play the remake it's better
>>739488592I very much want to. I think I'll be playing SH3 and 4 first though. I also have Shattered Memories and Origins ready.
>>739475784blacks and jeets*
>>7394886313 4 shattered memories and 2 remake are all very good games youre in for a treat and im glad youre doing it right playing them all in one go. i waited 7 years between playing 1-3 and finally playing 4 and i regret it a lot!
>>739488592Kill yourself, it's much better than shitposting.It's also an in-water ending reference.

>>739489329and you need to stop being a faggotbut that would be an impossible feat for you
>>739465995I'm with you, Puppet combo is pretty good with the only real flaw being the blaring audio at parts. It's a crutch they really don't need.
I'm very easily spooked so I say SCP CB. The shitty graphics combined with how janky and unpredictable the code is makes you stay on edge 24/7

>>739460124I played Alien game on VR and I couldn't get immersed enough for it to be scary desu.Maybe it's because it doesn't have proper VR controller support that killed it for me, or because I was playing sitted
>>739475784hehe
>>739488545I just finished it, and also played Born in a Wish. I have the US Greatest Hits version and the EU Director's Cut becuase I didn't know they were the same thing, so I beat the original scenario in the NTSC version and the sub-scenario in PAL so I could get a feel for the difference.I got the Leave Ending, which I think is the best ending? I examined everything as soon as I got it, and apparently that triggers something with Angela.On the whole, I really enjoy it. I get why many will call this a masterpiece. I'll need some more time to digest what every detail meant, and there's loads of symbolism and metaphors happening that I can't fully explain yet.I got the gist of the story that James isn't really guilty. But I think the story sends us through the rush of emotions and 5 stages of grief that a guy can go through after he loses someone and feels like he could have done more. You get the denial, where he's only read the first part of her letter, or selectively only thinks about that part, even though he knows the rest of what she wrote and can't process it yet. So he goes back to the town, and believes he's punishing himself for the ill intent he had towards her during the worst part of her sickness, but then at the end we experience with James the fact that she forgives him, and he needs to stop punishing himself, thereby also accepting that she is no more and he has to live for himself again. The other characters like Eddie all act as foils to James thinking he's like them. Thinking he's suicidal (Angela). Thinking he's a killer (Eddie). Thinking he's a liar (the child/innocence).Are any of the characters real? Maybe. I think Silent Hill 1 (which I just played early in the weekend) established that the town has some kind of drug that's spread in the air and causes hallucinogenics. 2 also briefly touched on this in a note you find, saying all the patients of the ward had their "own realitites".It's one of the most thoughtful games of 6th gen.
>>739493608Oh, oh! And I forgot to mention another detail that took me aback. Sometimes after you come out of the Otherworld (typically the Dungeon Segments) the way the environment looks is as if "This is how it REALLY looks the whole time". You go into the hotel during the white fog, and it looks like a hotel would in a literal ghost town. It's as if it should be inhabited but there's no one there (except a few monsters maybe) and then you go to the Otherworld where it's red and hellish. But when you come out it's totally rusted up and ready to fall apart. I like to imagine that Silent Hill in present year in each game is an abandoned town where many died, and there's something afoul in the air, but in reality there's just no one there, and the buildings have decayed for many years. This doesn't add up with the chonology of "3 years ago". but it gives off a strong impression that nothing in the town is actually the way that the player sees it for 90% of the experience, but that there is a "Real" version of it underneath the dreamlike state we're in.
I kinda like those walking through a haunted house and maybe do some puzzles games that russians like to make for some reason. There's one that just came out called psalm 2 where it's a bunch of bite sized sections like that and most of them were alright.
>>739493608that drug is white claudia and in the remake it's shown that mary has a dose of iti hope the 1 remake touches more upon the sh city because it's really vague if it's actually lived in or abandoned and they can never decide

>>739459897There are none. Games can't be scary.
>>739494925Ohh you're hard
>>739467141>It was just pretty effective for meFair enough
>>739494525That was also implied in the original when you see the pills Maria takes where James suspects she's sick like Maria, during the Hospital Otherworld part. And there's a bit more of it in Born from a Wish when Maria has to fetch the White Liquid to Earnest.
>>739494525>i hope the 1 remake touches more upon the sh city because it's really vague if it's actually lived in or abandoned and they can never decideIt's Lynchian. It's as undefinable as anything in a David Lynch movie, and giving a definintive answer to either suggestion only introduces plot holes and further issues you have to address, so it's better to let it stay evocative and let people decide which truth they think makes it a stronger experience for themselves.I like to think it's a real place where tragedy happened, so it's been bordered off, and only a handful of strange fellows go there. And once you're inside it, reality becomes quite subjective. I want to believe Cybil exists, but I also have the headcanon that once she went in, and met Harry at the bar, she gets just as lost in various hallucinations as him, and then the only experience that matters to us is the version of events Harry experiences as we only see the story psychologically from his POV. But then, they do get out and have an adoptive child together, and SH3 basically canonizes all of that as having really happened. So it probably is all meant to be real, but you can't really explain it.
>>739494925This.There's something about the nature of playing a video game which means the suspension of disbelief you can get from watching a film or reading a book which is required to be scared just doesn't work. You're acutely aware it's just a video game and therefore it's inherently not scary. All they can do is jumpscare you.
>>739495457That's pretty damn gay, Anon
>>739495457Ok. I'm not trying to be.>>739495925Exactly this, and I don't even react to jumpscares anymore. I'm simply too old and jaded and can just tell when a "scary thing" is going to happen. Horror games are too predictable.
>>739486998It's a fun game that has some really tense moments; There's some cheap jumpscares but they're few and far between. I thought that the second third of the game dragged on a little bit but I'd definitely reccomend it
Fatal Frame 2 and 3 freaked me the fuck out back in the day. Nowadays I rarely get spooked, because you just reload the last save if you die. Dunno how horror games can introduce stakes.
>>739496409>Dunno how horror games can introduce stakes.Permadeath.But that's really not fun.
>>739487304hideous destructor
>>739460070Lol o my sweet summer child, your innocence is just delicious. My steam review on this game is essentially it's the scariest game I've ever played and not a single jump scare.
>>739486836trvke, most people play horror games during the day on speakers then say how they aren't scary
metro awakening has a bunch of good tense sections without a scripted jumpscare
>>739463924:^)
>>739486998Yes
>>739469525Have sex, and I say that as a concerned American.
>>739459897Vidya can't be scary. Horror is more of a /lit/ thing.

>>739471307>4chanfrogRead your post.

>>739491678That's what I said, you're underage. Kindly get lost
>>739488592The remake is unironically less "scary" or tense than the OG
>>739462131Afraid of monsters and cry of fear are the only actually scary horror games. Nothing else can even remotely compare to them. If you don't find those unsettling then nothing else can impress you.

>>739460124Alien would kill me in VR. Hell it would probably kill me in Subnautica too because I go out at night like a man.
Scratches.
>>739496409IMO every horror game is worth it for the scare factor it has initially, which wears off as you see through it and experience the lack of consequence. A great proper buildup from before the first monster to after is always great in a brand new game. Like playing the Obscure demo, that shit burned into my mind because I played it not even knowing it was a horror game, and it begins with a slightly eerie vibe but otherwise it's just an "adventure game where you're some guy in school".
>>739459897Permadeath has to be a thing in order to make a game truly scary.
>>739466642what about the giant eileen head in the hospital? i wanted to crawl up her mouth
>>739482687This. Like the other anon said, first blind playthrough of VotV is one of the scariest vidya experiences out there. Never have I felt so hunted and fucked with in a game before. VotV and Cry of Fear are the two games to terrify me the most, and I played both in my late 20s/early 30s.
scarier than any horror game imo
>>739465884>get fucked bugmen
>>739486998IT WAS ALL A PTSD DREAM!!!
>>739462131nice. i loved cry of fear and afraid of monsters back in the day. gonna check these out. thank you bro
>>739475454>carrying shit between hideoutsThere's an NPC that does it for you for one bottle of alcohol lil' bro.
>>739506013Hell yeah, have fun.
>>739486998it's a decent Silent Hill clone, even if it tries to scare you in the most shlocky in-your-face way possible with zero subtlety
>>739507004The first two I get, but what's the third picture highlighting? That both games have a protagonist? Also, anyone who grew up in a suburb to Stockholm in the 80-00s 100% went on a school trip to a place like that lake. Pretty much every single location (including the crack den) is true to life
>>739486998its actually one of the best fps survival horror game with tight resources

>>739464695>Smells Like Team Silent
>>739459897What does "actually scary" even mean?
>>739459897Silent Hill worked so well as a horror game because its an 11/10 in its use of sounds. Whether its the monsters growling or the radio making the monsters have even spookier sounds. Then there are those environment sound effects that often seem like they blend in with the music. No game I ever played made such a masterful use of sound like Silent Hill. I am sure some indie developers have emulated it by now but I have not played those games and they most certainly were inspired by SH. Sound is super important because look at what happened with some of the monsters from SH4. You guys know which one in particular is especially egregious.
>>739492254the new version added controller support and fixed the graphical glitches
>>739483710What a fucking retarded thing to say
>>739459897Played silent hill f and must say had more fun watching the homage on yt. Very lame game.
>>739473459Sorry something fell from the ceiling but it's alright now. Please answer my question.
>>739508639It's not a Silent Hill game, despite the title
>>739483271>judeonegroid goylemsI'll be adding this one to the list. Thank you
>>739507575Yeah, okay, fair
>>739508767It's a bad silent hill game and a game with very lame writing and setting. Memes are alright.>>739481873I played it on Snoy and don't remember the scene. Or was it Caroline?
>>739502649There is something simultaneously terrifying and beautiful about being in the middle of the ocean and looking at the night sky. It's one of those things you never want to experience in real life but VR makes possible.
>>739459897beta minecraft is the scariest shit bro no cap
>>739508639biggest waste of potential, could've had a creepy japanese town with a fuckton of jap folklore monsters and they decided that you should spend more time in dungeonscould've made the real life town become popular like the higurashi one but nope let's throw it all away for fucking soulslike gameplay
>>739482171Daniella is so much hotter than Fiona, it's not even funny
Let me ask you something, /v/ - What's scarier, this image as a speculated map of nuclear fallout from the USA's missile silos being targeted, or the thought of this exact same map image being an x-ray cancer screening of your liver?
>>739459964Came to post this. It's the goat
>>739514265The cancer one. If nuclear fallout happens we all die anyways. Death & loneliness are a lot scarier than annihilation
>>739512803Clock Tower-likes are sooo much better horror games than SH or RE-types, idgafThe whole context-driven stuff, where there's a chase system that can happen by chance or "when Mr. X is nearby" like RE2 Remake, but then each room has a couple of hiding spots that can or can't trick the pursuer? kino. I wish we would see a modern game like this from a major publisher.
>>739514265Why did they label by liver with names of states
>>739496409FF games have incredible ambient audio and the ghost effects can look pretty great. The ghosts are often made up of just simple 2D sprites floating around but the way they are distorted and blurred genuinely produces some weird fucked up looking imagery.
>>739515392Because you've left it broken
>>739515290And one of them will happen to you one day! Unless something worse happens first
>>739459897I used to love horror games back in the day but I can't do them anymore, too fucking scary for me. I'm playing The Callisto Protocol at the moment, it's about my limit.
>>739519431>The Callisto ProtocolMy condolences. It's honestly scary how shitty that game is.
