I mean in the last couple of years you have:
Alien Isolation
Evil Within
Until Dawn
Walking Dead Seasons 1 + 2
Dying Light
State of Decay
Soma
Five Nights at Freddy's Games
That one game where you have to use your smart phone for navigation
Now before I'm shitposted to oblivion-I did not say any of these were good. Just merely proving that plenty of horror games are still being made.
>>320736720
horror games were never good
>>320735619
If you know anybody with a copy of the demo, you could download it off their ps4 and put it on yours. Or something like that. Thats what I learned.

It has zombies-it's technically considered horror. Even if you don't think it's scary or hate the gameplay it had plenty of horror elements.
It's the same with horror comedies. Just because they blend in other genres doesn't mean it's no longer considered horror.

>>320738876
Silent hills, Fatal frames
>>320738227
Fucking hell, do I really have to argue this? It has:
Murder
Dismemberment
Cannibalism
Torture
People cutting off their own limbs
Disembowlment
Shitty Jump Scares
And, yes, people constantly dying and turning into zombies which you are powerless to stop and infest every location.
All of which are common horror elements. Once again, just because the game involves bad writing and stupid drama doesn't mean it's not also horror.
>>320738387
>it kills you
>you don't know what killed you so it keeps happening
>>320739143
Walking Dead didn't have jump scares though. Not that I remember anyway.
And as for most of those, I suppose the metal gear series is horror too. Its got murder, dismemberment, torture, people cutting off their own limbs, and there might have been a cannibal in one of the games, I can't remember.
>>320739143

Fine anons, you win. But that doesn't disprove my original point that horror games are still being made and that the genre isn't dead.
And for the record, Walking Dead has several jump scares with zombies popping out from hiding, or from a blind corner, etc. Also, in episode 4, when digging the grave, there is a jump scare with that one guy watching you.

Backtracking in a horror game can be effective if they do shit like make changes to the area
Like Dead Space was an example. You'd go back to an area and it would be different. Like that one station where at the beginning of the game there are like 50+ dead bodies just lying around in body bags.
You come back later and they are all gone. Shit like that is spooky
>>320745257
Don't even blink! Blink and you're dead!
>>320750692
Man that reminds me of that movie Occulus for some reason.
The first 2/3rds were 10/10 I thought but then it basically devolved into people with spooky makeup chasing the characters around the house.
I know good endings are hard to write but they really dropped the ball.

>horror game
>the monster is shown in the commercial cover and pretty much everything
>every time it appears in game they make a massive deal out of
Fuck these kinds of games, half the horror is not knowing what the monster is, every fucking time they show the monster immediatly at the start.
>>320750378
Valid point. In a way, though, it creates a sort of anticipation; at least it worked in the '90s, anyway. I remember first booting up SH or RE2 and seeing those warnings and feeling a little anxious. No audio or anything; just a still image telling you shit's about to get creepy.
It would definitely be out of place in modern games, though. We're more than familiar with all of that now.
>>320737773
That's like saying slasher movies are horror. They're not. They're thrillers. Tired of pansy faggots these days being offended and scared by everything. Fucking babadook was considered horror. Even Halloween was considered horror. They're not.
>>320751504
Slashers can be horror. Halloween was definitely a horror movie.
Just because you personally don't find them scary doesn't make them not horror movies.

I have read a lot about this game and read that the developers had to make the game easier by removing some of the scares and some content. Though if you play the game on higher settings it adds more scares to the game or something like that. I look forward to trying this game,that is if my internal graphics card can run it.

One of the best "holy fuck" moments I've ever had in video games. Spending most of the game beating homeless dudes with pipes and then suddenly fistfighting a FUCKING BEAR.

Visual media can show the basics, like what the area is, but in-game notes can give a more in-depth description/context, I think having them work hand-in-hand would produce the best results rather then relying solely on one or the other

>>320763413
Well yes, they work hand in hand.
Which is why a visual horror game/movie would suffer from having no sound. Sound is important to visual mediums in general, but especially horror.

...a new silent hill game.
I know I'll get absolutely fucking crucified, but I think the very first playthrough ofFNAF 1was legitimately one of the most frightening experiences I've had in any game.
Of course, it wore off by the second playthrough, and all the sequels were shit/cashgrabs, but god damn. The first game nailed the atmosphere, sound design, and constant, looming sense of dread, not to mention the near constant fear of the unknown.
>>320763605

Swarming, in-your-face enemy designs scare me.
Harsh, loud, industrial soundscaping is already spooky to me.
Claustrophobic map design keeps me on edge.
10/10 scared. But only the 1st game. The 2nd game's harsh setting was replaced by flashy neon civilian cyberpunk design and it really ruined the oppressive atmosphere.

Of course, FNAF was a horror game and was well designed with that in mind.
Due to its unique nature and the fact it was a very small indie game at first there was no hints or indication at what could happen. Many of the memes and secrets we now took for granted were unknown to the players, and added to the mythos.
Personally I think the 3rd game was the best in the series in terms of capturing the feeling and had the best gameplay, but people aren't allowed to like a decent game series on /v/ anymore because its a meme.

It's number 25 you doofus. Not number 1. Seeing how uncommon horror games are, any trash like fnaf can get that spot.
