Spoopy vidya thread for Halloween /v/?
Yume Nikki remains to be the only game that actually frightened me:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfe4bM_mz7o
The Exmortis series. They're flash games, but probably the most horrifying morbid games I've played. Surprisingly deep story and amazing artwork for point and click flash games.
http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/189227
www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/303832
>>269419087
It's one of the most unsettling games I've ever played. Only felt fear when I saw FACE and Uboa's world, but outside of those I felt uncomfortable and on edge 100% of the time.
>>269419296
All I know is that the first one got Retsu'd so I doubt I'll ever be able to find them scary. I'll play them tomorrow though if you really think they're that great.
>>269419087
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSKkcCh8PLg
I never see anyone on /v/ talk about Condemned, which is strange since I think it's really interesting and underrated. This game has everything. Crackheads, tasers, psychic powers, scary hallucination, mannequins, and crime scene investigations that are actually fun.
>>269419626
The mannequins get posted in "scary vidya" threads all the time m8.
>>269419502
It's been a few years since I played them. They have a few jump scares, but they're pretty captivating point and click "discover the dark secret behind the house" type shit. The atmosphere is really great though, so I hope you enjoy it.
Silent hill origins. Legitimately one of the best entries in the series and seldom talked about.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCWTaKD8Mkw
Wished i knew about more spooky rom hacks
Obligatory:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYb9kSCkjE8
>>269419087
RNG and the way items work ruin Yume Nikki for me. It's fun for the first hour or two and then you get too fucking bored to care.
More intimidating then outright Scary, but stillBOO
what's the scariest game ever?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hf7JNzo6DZY
>>269420191
what's your main weakness on horror stuff?
I found Yume Nikki kind of relaxing actually.
.flow was 2spook4me though.
>>269419087
>tfw the ending to "I Have No Mouth, But I Must Scream" gave me an enormous fear of physically large AI structures
>years later play Mass Effect
>roam around reading the cool planet descriptions
>see this
>>269420231
fuck if I know. I don't mind jumpscares but if that's all the game is then fuck it.
>>269420418
Well, psychological horror.
>>269419087
But YN isn't a spooky or horror game at all?
I love YN but never once has it scared me. I always played it with that feeling of childhood wonder. The exploration, discovering new and unusual things. I felt like a little kid againI wish I could experience it again. I legitimately cry knowing it's an experience you can only experience once.
>>269420306
On that note, ME plays well on the idea of us only knowing like .1% of what we presume to exist. The reapers fit the whole "enormous creature that lives in dark space" bit well, until the writing went 400% turdchomper. They should have gone with the reapers trying to make more reapers because they were scared of something else and they need more advanced civilisations to hopefully create more powerful reapers in an attempt to push it back. That's how I'd have done it anyway.
Anyone play Outer Wilds?
That game can get pretty spooky.
>>269419984
>Small children have their souls ripped out and implanted into robots so they can travel back in time with absolutely no certainty if they can ever return to being alive again.
>Main villain Pokey gets sick from time travel and has to live bedridden permanently inside a mechanized spider.
>Fetuses in the background when you fight the final boss
>The Devil's Machine which houses the final boss looks like a vagina with a uterus.
Why the fuck is Earthbound so disproportionately creepy when compared to the rest of Nintendo's lineup?
Earthbound seems Yume Nikki-tier levels of creepy at some points during the gameI hardly remember the 45 minutes of me playing it more than 15 years ago, is it worth emulating /v/?.
>>269420773
Mass Effect is basically Wasted Potential: The Series
I never played this game but shit like this freaks me out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlQ0-BBnRIg
The way some old games handle graphics is really uncomfortable, i don't know how to describe it.
>>269419502
>Retsu'd
What does this mean? Spoiled?
>>269420773
They already pulled that shit with KoTOR2
>Revan goes off to fight somethign even worse than the current Sith
>Come TOR
>HURP MY OC SITH DERP DARTH EVIL DEATH KILL BETRAYUS WAS AMONG YOU THE WHOLE TIME
>Time to kill Revan!
In Destiny, the noises the Hive and the Vex make are pretty spoopy, and are downright startling if you were not aware they were immediately next to you.
Destiny also has some pretty good lore, despite it all being removed and put into Grimoire cards.
>the Vex actually tried to rend time asunder and instantly rebuild it, while weaving their consciousness through it
>the Dark is intangible and mostly without description. There is no proof that what you are fighting is actually naturally hostile or actually trying to survive with the light constantly oppressing it
>>269420695I never played it Anon.Am I able to play the game blind, or is the ideal way to play the game with wikis?
>>269421114
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVE-qKG9YrQ
Slowbeef and Diabeetus making fun of it for fifteen minutes.
>>269421318
I don't understand why they put all the info in the game on a stupid website instead of having a codex or something you can read.
would have made it a lot better
>>269421114
http://youtu.be/yVE-qKG9YrQ
Think MST3K but for bad games and LPs. Don't feel bad for not knowing them if you don't. There was a time when they were great, but not so much anymore.
>>269421334
Blind. Look up where the bike is and nothing else.
>>269420871
>fetuses
no you dummy its gigue
>>269421428
Something so meta about two bad LPers making fun of other LPers.
Didn't these fags claim to invent lets plays?
All of our friends are dead.
Au Sable
both are platformers by the same guy. I prefer Au Sable.
>>269421601
Slowbeef did the first video let's play for something awful, I think it was metroid or metroid 2.
It wasn't good.
>>269421667
>for something awful
Lets plays are as old as home video cameras. Fuckin James rolfe has videos of himself playing games from the 80's. It's dishonest to imply they made LPs.
The only thing SA ever did was make GCCX popular, create 4chan and create the chuck norris meme.
>>269421667
Slowbeef is a terrible LPer.
>>269421318
also, Vex have absolute authority in the Vault unless you have the relic. Gorgons kill you by simply willing you out of time. Also, upon completion of the vault, literally nothing happens. Ghost doesn't even say anything to you, which implies that the guardians are lost in time and unreachable even by their pocket angels after destroying Atheon.
The Ahamkara were a race of space dragons whose bones drove Warlocks mad, and implant messages in their heads that tell them to undo reality.
>tfw the grimoire cards are good but will never EVER be put into the story
>>269421428
How do they avoid getting banned from YT?
>>269421334
Always blind.
Speaking of YN, if you want a more visceral, horror-themed game in the same style then .flow's a pretty good fangame.
>>269420695
You could try something like Ib, .flow, or Yume 2kki. I haven't played the latter two, but most people seem to think they're great, and Ib definitely is.
>>269421601
>>269421667
>>269421748
Slowbeef popularized the term Let's Play. He didn't invent internet game playthroughs but it's probably safe to blame him for modern LP culture. It's not anything to be proud of.
>>269421882
>Ib
Not remotely similar, at all. The only similarity is being RPGMaker
>.flow
Same as above
>2kki
Played it. Also play LCDem, LSD and Eastern mind.
>>269421527
Seems like too much of a stretch. Mostly interesting.
>>269421445
m-maybe in the dlc r-right?
>tfw Crota literally fashioned a blade out of the very antithesis of life and light that could undo Guardians at a metaphysical level
>you get to fight him in the raid
I hope they do him as some sort of shapeless entity, but I know he will just be a reskinned knight.
>>269421838
>.flow
I actually found .flow to be a creepier, more surreal experience than Yume Nikki. Yume Nikki is more distinct and memorable though, lots of stuff in .flow just sort of meshes together senselessly (which is the point).
>>269421838
fuck giygas
if i walked into a haunted house, and there was a dark room with nothing but a projector with giygas being projected on a wall, i would probably shit my pants.
>>269421527
What's with the removal of the face? To show the shape?
It's obvious it's Giegue - the machine shows Ness's face: how could he know what Ness looks like, unless he met Ninten? Who else knows PSI?giegue = mewtwo
>>269421968
It looks really similar, and Itoi is just the kind of man to do something like that
>>269421830
Why would they be b& from YT?
>>269422251
Compare the shape of the gygas blob to giegue's body
>>269422172
because YN isn't attempting to be scary or creepy, really.
You want spoopy? How about anarmy of skeletals
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCsJ-P9iSGk
>that whole fight with Melbu Frahma
>he literally was an out-of-fucking-nowhere final boss with absolutely no description prior to the fight
>fighting the Virage
fuck those faggots and their low poly frames scared me shirtless. Also, this: http://youtu.be/jeBdzLencAM
>>269422341
Yeah, I know it looks like him. But it seems a bit odd doesn't it? Cause the face is still there, like his face is all distorted and stuff.
>>269422265
Because I don't believe taking someones uploaded LP and then reuploading it yourself on your account but with you making fun of them is allowed by YT. I'm positive the original uploaders of the video could easily report them for
1. harassment
2. Reuploading someone elses video without permission. So basically copyright.
If this kept happening they'd just get banned.
>>269422265
>>269421830
They've been banned at least once before. That's why they have two channels, "Retsupurae" and "retsuplay".
I don't think they're doing anything that is actually bannable, but LPers that got Retsu'd sometimes got mad enough to copyright claim spam them until their video got taken down. Nowadays they mostly just do longplays and flashes and when they do an LP it's pretty weak and inoffensive because Slowbeef has become an SJW.
>tfw all i can hear now is the giygas soundsthe static sounds like its saying "let me out"
Anything where children are harmed or tortured is pretty much nightmare material for me, which in-turn makes Earthbound terrifying for me.
There's a musician that /mu/ really likes called Venetian Snares who wrote several records meant to be inspired by child murderings, all of which make me unable to sleep for hours:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfT6Xpor2vg
>>269421882
>IB
fuck the rooms when you have to use gary, couldnt figure that shit out at all
>>269421838
What the fuck has happened to his eyes and face? Why the white? It's even more creepier than before.
>>269422634
I find Giygas Is Wounded to be quite a cool theme, techno and stuff, if it wasn't the music to a scary boss it would be pretty sweet.Maybe he's saying let me out because someone put him in the Devil's Machine, not himself.
>>269422763
They were in robots though. So their real bodies weren't damaged, but they might've felt the pain as robots. Also on their souls... spooky
>>269422840
>What the fuck has happened to his eyes and face? Why the white? It's even more creepier than before.
The image combines Giygas and Uboa for maximum spoopy.
>>269421882
I always wanted to get into RPGmaker horror games but never actually played anything beyond Yume Nikki and a few fangames, any recommendations?
>>269422932
But from what I gather from wikis, it seems like their souls were ripped straight out of their bodies without the actual knowledge that they could ever return to being alive again. Which is terrifying.
Also, I have never actually played Earthbound, I have just mostly read a ton of wikis whenever spoopy threads show up on /v/. Is Earthbound still worth the effort of sitting down and playing? Or have I pretty much gathered the most useful bits already?
After playing Postal 2 i decided to look up Postal 1 and they sure have a completely different tone.
Postal 2 is so unserious and comical but Postal 1 is just completely fucked up.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cio4Bx_9A8k
>>269422987
Ib, Mad Father, The Witch's House. Ao Oni too just because it's a classic, even though it's got the stupidest fucking monster in video game history.
Honorable mention goes to Corpse Party. I don't know if they're actually RPGMaker games that got ported to PSP, but they have that feel and they're legitimately scary as fuck sometime.s
>>269423103
its so much more than spooky stuff. I'd highly recommend it
I want to cuddle Madotsuki.Also Yume Nikki for 3DS when?Or at least for iPhone/Android, it'd be so comfy.
>>269423103
>it seems like their souls were ripped straight out of their bodies without the actual knowledge that they could ever return to being alive again
They were told that they might not be able to return. Defeated Giygas or not, the technology might not have worked. It did though, probably some mysterious power like what defeated Giygas.
The creepy shit is hinted at throughout the game, Giygas is just a climax at the end - the rest of the game is totally different, in a way. Definitely worth a play.
>>269422964
I can't handle this level of spoopy.
>>269421882
>but it's probably safe to blame him for modern LP culture.
b-b-b-but he only meant to popularize it for SomethingAwful so it still counts as a good thing, right guys...?
Diabeetus is the funny one anyway, Slowbeef would be nothing without him.
>>269422987
Ao Oni. You will not regret it.
>>269422548
I can't tell what the fuck even from your image lol.
Is that a woman on the far left in her panties? Goddamn JRPGs...
>>269420871
It's good but get ready for some old-school not-so-balance-tested RPG shenanigans.
Really not too much grinding is required but it's easy to get mixed up. Don't expect that much creepy though, it's typically contained to specific parts in the game.
>>269423103
Yeah, it's a wonderful game. Great music, memorable writing, and very fun gameplay. Super offbeat and charming. Also play Mother 1 and 3.
>>269423389
Slowbeef's screenshot LP of Metal Gear 2 was pretty funny IIRC, but yeah, Diabetus makes the duo and he seems like a legitimately cool guy.
>>269419087
Drakengard's bad endings completely came out of left field when I was playing through it. Easily the spoopiest experience I have had playing a game.Giant babies eating the last survivors of humanity to extinction:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybKp_Zck6-g

After progressing through the game to a certain point, the game will glitch out. screen tearing appears and a very low pitches voice starts speaking and suddenly one of these screens will pop up. After this the game will reset and put you in a endless loop. You have to figure out a very far fetched puzzle to finish the game at this point.
>>269420871
DO NOT PIRATE THAT SHIT OH GOD
It deletes your fucking saves when you get to the final boss
>>269424364
Only on poorly coded emulators, I read. Use a newish one and the copyright protection is broken.
>>269424336
fuck
that sounds creepy as. Sudden appearance... oh god
http://youtu.be/jhfZVd9N9ww?t=2m
Not spooky per se, but this is copy protection on SMT1. It says "TURN IT OFF" over and over.
>>269424439
http://youtu.be/blD2TiavFJA?t=32m2s
PT has been hyped to death now but it sure was interesting when it first came out since no one knew what the game even was or who was behind it.
>>269424439
Oh really
Go pirate it then
Or just play it on the e-shop for the wii u
>>269424821
I've already done it, I'm not the asker. Beat Giygas but gave myself nightmares for ages. Played on snes9x
>>269424534
That reminds me.
You know what else is fucking spooky as hell? Old anti-piracy screens in games, or the PS1/PS2 "insert a Playstation format disc" screens.
http://youtu.be/tM_YijO3uxI
http://youtu.be/sKghFCb-gOU
http://youtu.be/1uHLQHjtPLE
I don't know why but fuck I got goosebumps just looking them up.
Surprised no one has mentioned Witches House. Awesome scary game with rad endings. Fuck. A lot of people complain it's just jump scares but it's really not that bad.
Is there a definite name for the genre of music Yume Nikki/LSD Dream Emulator have?
Is there at least music similar to it, besides the fan games of course.
>>269424939
>ave myself nightmares for ages
What part gave you nightmares?
Has anyone ever heard of Beautiful Escape: Dungeoneers?
It's not really spooky, but it's pretty damn interesting. You take people off the streets and run them through your personal torture maze, trying to hit the sweet spot of perfect psychological and physical trauma before they escape from your dungeon, and uploading the footage so your performance can be rated by other people.
>>269424956
The third one. Holy fuck I always turned the volume off for that one.
>>269425490
The face. The eyeless, twisted face. I was scared until like a year and a half ago. it was terrifying.
>>269425574
>The face. The eyeless, twisted face. I was scared until like a year and a half ago. it was terrifying.
Of just Giygas?
FEAR's ok. If only for the atmosphere. The actual horror isn't all that great. It's more atmospheric and thematic than actually frightening.Except for the fucking ladder which I always forget about every time I replay itIt's also a solid fucking shooter.
>>269425737
Yes. Only him, why? The rest of the game wasn't spooky. But... the music... and the face...
I played in fullscreen, too.
>>269425742
F.E.A.R. is too much fun to be spoopy.
>>269425878
I'm not sure what to say. I'm mostly just frightened by all of the situations of children being maimed/killed.
>>269426536
This is true. The gameplay is more concerned with being a fast-paced shooter than a horror game. Webm-related. That atmosphere though.
anyone here played White Day? I'm gonna download and play that shit when I get off of work. heard good things about it.
>>269422763
Venetian Snares is the shit, I have his whole discography. Once I was listening to his tracks while playing some online vidya on headphones, and after few hours the songs just became too unbearable for me - I literally felt scared just from the sounds. I didn't even know what I was scared of, just felt terrible unease and had to turn off the music.
Y'all niggers should play Undying.

>not a single flying jump kick
Shameful.
>>269422763
This reminds me a lot of Rubber Johnny. And that shit is pretty terrifying.
>>269427225
Back in 2007, I torrented that game on ancient /v/'s recommendation.Good game, but not spoopy.
>>269423163
Jesus fuck
>>269427290
>>269426838
Wait, you can shoot your own grenades in slow motion? Wait, you can jump kick in FEAR? Which FEAR is this? I wanna play it.
>>269427334
It's still horror. Scary or not. The story and themes are horror. You're way too OP to feel threatened by anything sadly.
>>269427472
The first and best one.
>>269423163
>completely fucked
Hahaha. Like the ending how you shoot up the school filled with clones. Does anyone have that comic where /v/-tan finishes Postal 2 and then /vr/-tan tells him about the first one?
>>269427575
Hot shit, I think I can run that.
>>269427665
It's a shooter from 2005 so I'd assume any modern day potato could to the job. It was pretty high demanding for it's time however.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itKCe5e1UPM
>>269427665
It's more postmodern than it is spooky. You'll have fun though.
>>269420993
i know what you mean
>>269427651
Hah, goddamm it
I lurk in /vr/ and the thread that contained that image got deleted a few days ago
I like how /vr/-tan is portrayed as a cool guy, but that image implies that /vr/ played Postal 1, which is a fucked up game; /vr/ doesnt play that kind of games. That picture took down all my headcannon.
Fucking rad
>>269428249
>headcannon
What is this meme that I keep seeing?
>>269428317
It's canon lore you set up in your head (not official)
>>269425491
>>269428317
Which meme?
/vr/-tan?
He is a board-tan
Not a meme
Well, maybe its atittudes are "Meme'ish", but thats in almost all boards; since they are the personification of a certain board
>>269428150
How is it postmodern? I'm not saying it isn't. But I'm not sure how it is either. Could you explain briefly how postmodernism applies to FEAR? I tried studying it once but accepted I couldn't fully understand it.
>>269419087
The Darkness is another good horror game. Again, having horror presented more in the atmosphere and story than in the actual gameplay.
>>269428317
It's a fucking retarded theory that only exists in your head.
>>269427472
You can also slide kick. Both kinds of kicks are one hit kills on normal enemies. There is nothing more fun than getting the shotgun and nailgun and becoming a spinning, flying death machine spewing feet and buckshot while nailing dudes to walls
>>269428317
>>269428438
Like how pretty much all of the expanded universe for Star Wars is now headcanon.
>>269425196

>How is it postmodern? I'm not saying it isn't. But I'm not sure how it is either. Could you explain briefly how postmodernism applies to FEAR? I tried studying it once but accepted I couldn't fully understand it.
I use postmodern whenever referring to stuff that's trying to be weird for the sake of being weird. Not to really accomplish anything.
In F.E.A.R.'s case, they try to shamelessly copy Ju On: The Grudge and tl;dr, in later games you get raped in first person by the villain and you conceive a child together.
Google it.
>>269428574
Better yet because you can still get flanked by the A.I and wrecked if you aren't careful. Why I love that game so fucking much.
>>269419984
>eases into the lullaby version of the eight melodies
>gets to the last note
>suddenly blares back into Giygas' nightmare synth before the melody completes
JESUS FUCK that scared the piss out of me.
I didn't realize fucking songs could have jump scares.I was literally seconds from passing out, now I need to go watch something lighthearted before I do or I'm going to have fucking Giygas nightmares.
>>269420993
Its a planet thats surface is covered in gaping mouths
I think this would be pretty spooky even if it was made with modern technology
>>269428710
...I-I can't tell if you people are being sincere about how much Giygas freaks you out. He's really not that scary.
>>269428962
He's pretty weird though considering 99.9% of the game had thick outlines and goofy designs.
Then bamm angry period stain.
>>269420993
The inside of that planet looks very Gigeran(ian). reminds of that last level in the predator campaign for AVP2
>>269428962
The fight didn't scare me at all when I was nine in a room with three other people.
Hearing Giygas' fight theme without all the battle sound effects, alone, at night, seconds from sleep, it kinda changes things.
That song was literally causing me to feel uneasy and gave me constant chills until it ended under current circumstances, not to mention that sudden musical sucker punch.
>>269424956
That anti-piracy sonic screen
That shit was scary
>>269420773
I agree, it's such a fucking wasted potential that it makes me feel bad. Love the first game, but didn't even finish the second one.
>>269428449
>Collared shirt

I need some legit scary movies and games for this Friday, I'm having some friends over and I want them to have trouble sleeping for the next week
>>269430962
I recommend Five Nights at Freddy's.
>>269430962
I guess it you want cheap shit go for Dead Space. But if you want some psychological shit go with Silent Hill 2 or Amnesia: The Dark Descent. And no, the fact that that swedish faggot made videos of it doesn't make it a shit game, for anyone who thinks that
>>269428449
is that also from dreadout? that seems spooky
>>269423230
The original Corpse Party games were made on RPGMaker, they just got released on PSP after popularity.
>>269431085
I played Dead Space 2 and it wasn't too scary and Silent Hill 2 is one of my all time favorites, I tried to play through Amnesia but it really bored me
>>269431036
I saw a playthrough of the first level the gameplay seemed like a really polarizing thing
>>269431351
You'll/'d hate A Machine For Pigs then.
>>269430962
Play Irisu Syndrome, don't look up why it's scary, just play it with your friends and see who can get the highest score.
>>269431646
Could you give me a brief description of it? I'm afraid looking it up will spoil it
>>269431351
>>269431405
I'd say it's at least worth a try. It's quite a bit more surreal, the soundscapes are more detailed, environments are more varied, the pacing is a bit less predictable.
Maybe worth a try on your own time though.
As for stuff with your friends, I might suggest... Damn, I don't know. I hate playing singleplayer horror games with my friends around, so this is going to prevent me from thinking of anything.

It does.
Basically it's a bust-a-move style puzzle game where you match colored blocks as they fall down the screen.
In the background there's a little bunny girl who's kinda the game's focus. Your performance in the levels determines her composure and how the story turns out.

Keep an eye on the files in your Irisu Syndrome folder as you play through the game, specifically whenever you get a game over
Am I the only one who finds Silent HIll games kinda comfy?
The way they use looping sound effects instead of music gives me the same feeling as having a fan on while I'm sleeping, it kinda relaxes me.
>>269432509
Oh yeah, forgot it did that.
Also friendly reminder that the game doesn't like it when you switch to another window.
>>269430962
If you want really cheap jumpscares just get your gay brony friend to play Luna Game
>>269432514
I find that kind of music very comfy as well, but the town and characters I would never think of as comfy. Like, I love Giygas theme because of how the fast and deep bass creates pressure for the theme so well. And then you get the distorted more ambient sounds later on to the theme.

Movie: Audition
You won't be disappointed. Only movie to actually scare me.
>>269430247
No, that's a completely different game called Dreadout.

Seen Eraserhead or Inland Empire?
Try Toilet in Wonderland.
>>269433554
Eraserhead yeah

They're total normies but they agree that modern shit sucks
>>269423230
Corpse Party was a PC-98 game
>>269432514
I think they're comfy too. It's a strange feeling, because they are very creepy games, but all the art is detailed in a way as to become familiarly nuanced. It's easy to see that they took many considerations to make it that way. The detail of the art and the impressions of the ambience can really create nice feelings, even if the resulting scene doesn't seem so nice. I'm listening to the unreleased forest trail ambient track right now in fact.
On the same topic of comfiness, I see people talk about how spooky Yume Nikki is, and while it had a few spooks, it's probably one of the most comfy games I've ever played, if not the comfiest.
>>269425196
Yume Nikki ost was really weird.
Everytime I recommend Yume Nikki to a friend I tell him the OST is composed of "almost songs", but it really gives it an unsettling tone, and still sounds amazing.

>>269419087
Fatal Frame 3 is on sale on PSN. It's pretty spoopy so far but the tattoos are stupid
>>269434028
I think they're intentionally comfy. The horror in SH comes from subverting that comfiness. You're in places that would normally be quiet and peaceful, so it's like "I could be comfy here, except... something's wrong..." and then it's such a shock when you go to the otherworld.
A lot of devs that try to recreate SH atmosphere miss that and just pump up the spooky all of the day and it doesn't work.
>>269432201
http://youtu.be/Qrzs3o9IUGQ is now playing in your head.
Irisu is one of the comfiest games around. Shooting blocks while listening to this on loop for hours is just so relaxing.
>>269434563
What game do you think touches closest to Silent Hill in terms of atmosphere? YN does a decent job of being unsettling without over staying its welcome. Siren tried to do that but didn't really have the soul that SH had.
>>269434563
The house you open with the dog's house key is so damn comfy.
I could have slept there, sitting against the door, away from the monsters.
>>269434563
You say
>a lot of devs
>try to recreate SH atmosphere
>pump up the spooky
>doesn't work
isn't it really the Western devs who made the shitty sequels and spinoffs?
>>269435031
When people talk about SH, they only mean the first 3, sometimes 4 too.
>>269434773
Undying, DCotE and FEAR have good atmospheres. So does Amnesia and even the somewhat shitty sequel.

>>269434773I actually prefer Siren to SH
But to answer your question, I guess Lone Survivor made a decent stab at it.
I don't know, it's hard, SH is one of those games that was so influential its influence is everywhere.
Don't know about it being scary but I did feel extremely uncomfortable reading it all the way through.
Hell, I couldn't even fap to ituntil my second playthrough

Will do. Cheers.
Guys, I got enough to buy 2 fatal frame games from the PSN store. Should I get the first two or 1 and 3?
>>269436694
I played 1 and 2 and enjoyed the hell out of them. All I can say is if you get the second then wait for the fucking doll room.
>>269434563
Yeah, I think so. Unfortunately I don't think this neglect for comfiness is the only problem with most of those who attempt to recreate the Silent Hill atmosphere, but I think it's also that they simply aren't working the right way that will create a proper atmosphere
It's important for one to have a specific feeling which they wish to give some place, and they mustn't forget that feeling, because it should govern every single decision they make in creating it. The smallest things, like the "3D composition", such as the position of a tree, could change the entire feeling. I think it has definitely helped that the old Team Silent had a lot of knowledge in fine art, not just "entertainment art".
>>269434773
Closest as in similar to or as in same quality?
One example of great atmosphere is The Void (or Ice Pick Lodge games in general, really). It's the most difficult and beautiful gardening and dating sim survival game I've ever played. I suppose in that way it's similar to Silent Hill in that presence and division of the comfy and the frightening/tense. It's not really a horror game though.
>>269436471

Neat, thanks.

It's like they don't understand the most basic shit about building atmosphere.
>>269436694
I think most people consider 2 to be the best, so I say 1 and 2
Is Condemned worthy to be mentioned as a suggestion?
>>269427651
This one?
Anybody tried this RPGM one Lisa?
It's pretty good, seems like it could get more attention.
>>269420871
You should see what they did to this game then. For a Pokemon game, it's got some twisted shit.
>>269437393
Honestly I'm going to say no. Condemned has one particularly spoopy moment involving some mannequins, and that's pretty much it.
It's pretty fun to play though, the melee combat is excellent.
>>269437434
Would you be down to summarizing? I'm sure I'm going to have to wade through a bunch of brownie batter bullshit if I'm going to watch an LP of the game or read wikis.
>>269433347
Different guy, but I think I torrented that one and put it on my HDD. I think I'll watch it this week.
I'm doin a spoopy movie everyday thing.

This scared me as a wee boy
>>269437140
Depends on how forgiving you are of flaws. If you like gorey hack and slash Splatterhouse action, the good will probably outweigh the bad.
>>269432586
That only happens once. It's better to find out by yourself too.
>>269433517

Fuck me, these two seem interesting.
>>269437851
>Different guy, but I think I torrented that one and put it on my HDD. I think I'll watch it this week.
As someone who has grown up on Something Awful and 4chan, I have seen many a snuff film, twisted doujinshi, and dismemberment gif.
Audition is the only commercially produced horror film that made me cringe to the point of wanting to look away, and terrified for weeks of the world around me.
How's about that Underhell?
>>269436936
>knowledge in fine art, not just "entertainment art"
That is something that is a dying breed. SH was able to deliver a certain feeling other games won't be able to re produce. Or should I say a combination of feelings.
Some games give you helplessness, others give you adrenaline, stick to the basics of spooks. Walking from room to room, discovering new twisted evils, reading each notes/diary/writing to uncover a new world. Being thrust into the other world putting a twist on everything. Walking through an area in complete silence, no music, finding all sorts of mysterious and then being backed into the otherworld where it becomes chaotic, insane and messing with all senses. Lots of well thought out symbolism, little details in the environment, based puzzles, and a kickass soundtrack for those not too silent moments. Silent Hill isn't a scare you in the moment, it sits with you the more you think about it.Hopefully Silent Hills will bring it back. Not holding my breath though.
Also, the Void looks pretty neat, I'll try it.
>>269438337
Underhell was pretty spooky. God damn that prison chapter was really long.
How's this game? I've never heard anyone talk about it. Looks like Cyrostasis + Resident Evil
>>269438142
Shit. I think I'll save it for last then. Any other recs? Most of the shit I've seen so far has made me think the horror genre is fucking dead.
>>269438672
Pretty much the whole game is that prison, until they release the other chapters.
Still longer than many fullprice games. Good stuff.
>>269438885
No. Audition is the only horror film that had an impact on me.
>>269438885
>horror genre is dead
the horror genre is better than ever. It's always been shit.
>>269419908

>>269439182
You're wrong. Plain and simple.
You are fucking wrong.
>>269440527
How is horror any worse? I've seen that shit in the 80's. Insidious and Lords of Salem are definitely better than Nightmare on Elmstreet and fuckin' Halloween.
>>269438142
But isn't it just disturbing gore instead of psychological stuff? I've heard of Miike but am too much of a pussy
>>269441051
Not at all. It only gets gory in the last act.
Nothing wrong with some good gore though. Imprint was pretty gory the whole way through iirc
>>269430962
Kairo (aka Pulse)
>>269436303
It's just a remixed Beach Boys song
>>269442052
It's a two second sample from a Beach Boys song. They practically did enough transformation for it to be a song of its own. It's not just simply a "remixed Beach Boys song".
I guess horror can be subjective.
Ive always hated Jaws for making me feel so uneasy in the sea

Have to admit it's pretty fucking awesome though.
How the fuck does one actually get yume Nikki running?
>>269446546
You install the version 0.10 and then you run RPG_RT, that's it for me. W7 64-bit.
Darkwood
Honorable mention goes to Middens and Gingiva for their bizarre and sometimes creepy collage artwork.
>>269444337
The Super Mario part WAS pretty scary (and gloriously retarded at the same time).
>>269421968
no more of a stretch than faggots who say Giygas is a fetus/the final fight is an abortion.
Play the fucking game and stop inserting depth where there is none.
>>269419087
Yume Nikki leaves me uneasy every time I play it, hence I still haven't beaten it. It doesn't scare me, but its atmosphere is extremely odd and unsettling.
I personally enjoy Lone Survivor quite a bit. It's more spooky than most 3D games because it nails atmosphere so well with its audio. It's fun too. It's combat isn't really deep at all but it's more about managing ammunition and using flares/bait then constantly fighting.
>>269421968
Giegue being Giygas is canon though.
Can't explain why but the levels in the first two Tony Hawk games used to leave me feeling unsettled. I think it was the complete barrenness of them, created a strange ominous atmosphere.
honestly, the first chapter of higurashi is the scariest experience i've had to this datehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_8sgdih094&index=3&list=PL8200AD6E0D0D8D49

>>269437427
I had a friend link me a playthrough of it, and it looks like absolute shit. In fact, it's so shit and so obscure I have to assume you're the guy who made it.
I love Yume Nikki so much that it inspired me to make a game, and this year I was able to get it on Steam.
And the only reason why I found out about YN in first place was because of /v/ and /x/ so here are a bunch of keys for it:
V2CX0-FKR7J-6QI7W
AV2JC-PL4TL-LW50E

It's far from being as good as Yume Nikki though and I'm still working on it, but I love spreading free keys here. It's better than giving them to fake russing youtubers who email me every now and then.
>>269424956
I really dislike seeing error screens on consoles or computers as well; I can't explain why, but something about those screens just unsettles me.
>>269419087
Uboa never scared me.
The FC dungeon area and FACE were a lot creepier.
