I think it's time for spooky vidya thread.

Dead space is really underrated, it hit that perfect spot for me, made me really uneasy.
>>321617125
First Dead Space wasn't too bad. It just carried on way too long.
>play Dying Light at night
>running away from zombies during the in-game night time.
>hear window tapping on my window.
>too scared to turn around and open the blinds.
>continue playing like nothing ever happened.
It was just the wind, right?
>>321617223
yeah, I'm on chapter 7 right now, it really drags.
>>321618037
That's it anon.
Just go back to sleep.
Outlast scared the fuck outta me, but I'm a huge pussy.
>>321618037
Shit no matter how many times I read this one my skin crawls on my back.
>>321618037
Any more scary images?
>Lone Survivor is cheap as fuck
>Buy it, want finally to grow some balls and finish a horror game
>Start it
>Keep being spooked
>Drop it after one hour, too scared to keep going
I hate myself for this but I must admit I will never manage to play horror games.
Bump
>>321618498
>Dead Space is pretty scary, but is clunky and overstays it's welcome.
>Outlast is terrifying, and has a cool story, but also has some cheap scares.
>Alien: Isolation suffers from the same problem as DS1: it's way too long.
>FNAF games are simple and cheap, and quite scary, but stay the hell away from the fanbase
>>321618238
That game makes me feel nervous.
I hate that you can't fight back. I get they want to give you this sense of vulnerability and helplessness, but it's possible to make a horror game but still have combat.
>>321619379
For me, I don't really get scared if I'm given a weapon in a game. I just feel so powerful.
I'm not sure why, maybe I haven't played the right game that gives you a weapon that makes you shit youself.
>>321619571
HOW ABOUT SILENT HILLDOWNPOURANON?
Spookys house of jumpscares is actually really good for a simple horror game that doesnt take itself too seriously. The atmosphere is really good actually and it kinda feels like a love letter to a bunch of other horror games. It's also free.
>>321618894
Anyone kind enough to give a tl:dr version of Godzilla?
>>321619775
Yeah I'll give it a trygodzilla fucks shit up sooooooooooooooooooon
There's no horror games anymore, everything is Youtuber bait, jump scares and walking simulators
>>321619775
STILL THE BEST
>Play Dead Space and Fatal Frame
>Have a weapon that can deal with nearly every scary encounter
>Not scared
>Play Amnesia/Penumbra, Siren, or Nanashi no Game
>No weapon, feels like I'm just waiting for the next scripted scary thing to happen to me
>Scared, but unfun
>Don't play
Why can't I ever be satisfied ;_;
>>321619775
Well, There these Americans who are testing Nuclear bombs...
>>321619332
Ayylmao isolation actually isn't that long. It only takes 3-4 hours after you know what you're doing.
It seems long because the alien can be so oppressive to unlearned players that they find it difficult to make any progress in certain periods of the gameAKA medical and the hive.

>>321619957
oh shit get fucked ayyylien
>horror game addict
>played every stupid big-name horror game
>played every shitty indie freeware horror game
>there's fucking nothing left
Why does it hurt so much?
It's funny that a non-horror game can be one of, if not the scariest and creepiest game around.
>ching
>ching
>ching
Stalker is the scariest non-horror game that comes to mind. It's spoopy by virtue of having superb atmosphere.
>Entering the lab in Dark Valley for the first time
>Going underground in general
>The first time a blowout happens
>>321619884
Sounds like me anon. I turn to horror stuff because its really hard for me to get spooked IRL unless im in actual danger. If i can fight my way through a game its so much less scary.
>>321620284
>nighttime bloodsucker village
>rostok wild territory in rain or storms
>overcast lake yantar
>twilight pripyat
Why can't I hold all this atmosphere
Eversion has a mechanic that I always wondered why other games never used. Probably would be a marketing issue for most.
I really thought SCP's mechanic where you can push a button with your back turned was real neat.
>>321618498
seconding this, I'd like to see some scary images or even scary stories told in images.
>>321619884
Well, the first penumbra allows you to reasonably kill things
>>321621438
I've got one coming.
>>321617047
Fatal frame 5 maiden of the blackwater. Just finished it. Wow. Super creepy traditional survival horror revival.
Loved every minute of the arounr 14 hrs.
>>321621631
Comon' It's fitting with the thread. We got some horror game discussion and some spooky image bumps
Best scary games I've played:
>Amnesia: TDD
>Dead Space
>Fatal Frame
>Condemned
>Exmortis 3 (and the first two, which are flash games)
I still think Amnesia is possibly the most well-done horror game of recent gens. Outlast and A:I are good and obviously inspired by it, but Outlast scares are too cheap at times (though occasionally well done, like the first Walrider sighting which actually made me pause the game and take off my headphones) and A:I isn't scary enough except for when the actual alien is sneakin' up on you.
Also, the first Condemned is underrated for how creepy it is - especially towards the second half once the paranormal shit really cranks up a notch.
>>321621729
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>321621882
Mah nigga.
I'm a Lovecraft fan, fucking love COC DCOTE as well.
Can anyone recommend any other good Lovecraft games.
>>321620202
>that random house hidden away in the side of the cathedral with two haunts inside.
NOPE!
>The entire cathedral is full of Haunts
NOOOOOOOOOPE!
I was thinking about Enemy Zero for Saturn. The game itself it's not a great horror experience but the mechanic of invisible enemies that only can be found by a beeping sound (the closer the monster, the faster the sound is) and basically shoot blindly made the game had some tense moments.
>>321622523
Eternal Darkness for the Gamecube pretty much rips off Lovecraft for the underlying, "old gods"-y story. It's not very spooky in the gameplay itself (other than the sanity effects which are fucking great), but it's good none the less.
>>321619884
I feel like resident evil had the perfect balance
You had weapons, but due to the scarcity of ammo & health items you were forced to decide if fighting was worth it or not
>>321618979
I don't get it
>>321619884
How the fuck do you feel that empowered in FF?
FF is VERY good at making you feel weak and vulnerable actually. Yes the Camera Obscura can 'kill' ghosts, but you're still not really that fast, the camera itself isn't given that much ammo most of the time, you have to be careful with using ammo, etc.
>>321619775
Never read it but from the few images ive seen basically the monsters the guy fights gets more and more creepy before they talk to him or something
Illbleed for Dreamcast it's a great horror game with B-movies style. It was kind of original with the idea of entering in theaters with B-movies like scenarios and disarming traps.
>>321618979
wut
We need more horror games like The Evil Within. And I don't mean the confusing plot and Resident Evil action bullshit. I mean having multiple horror environments instead of just being in one place with all the same scenery. That was the charm of that. There were always different places you'd go.
>>321619775
basically there are semi-feasible alterations made to the game that make it spooky, and then gets into HYPER REALISTIC DED GF TALKING TO ME FORM THE BLOODY SO REAL GRAVE
>>321620048
Thomas lore is 2deep
Anyone else here a horror game pussy
I'm one of those people that plays a horror game for maybe an hour, get too spooked and never play it again and proceed to have nightmares about said game for a few days
>>321624718
I felt Evil Within was one of the best horror titles we've gotten in awhile. It was a better Resident Evil than anything past 4, and even managed to include a pretty cool Pyramid-Head-inspired monster that didn't offend my Silent Hill fanboy side. My only complaints were how it started off pretty open with who you killed and sneaking, but quickly turned into "kill everything to proceed," and the last boss.

>>321624873
Yeah dude, i remember getting those demo jam packs for my ps2 when i was a kid. There was this silent hill, the room demo that i played. Dude what the FUCK. When i crawled through the hole and met that girl and those dogs, i couldn't play anymore. that shit is way too creepy. couldn't play amnesia after the first few scares
>>321625261
I can only get through games that are secondary horror games, like the Resident Evil games or Dead Space
Anything else where the main point is to scare the living shit out of you just mentally breaks me and puts me on RL edge for awhile
>>321625076
I feel like it really started to ditch the classic survival horror aspect right after the first chapter in the asylum. Another fact that it felt to sci-fi/anime-like. I kinda expected a more Silent Hill 2 themed plot with a title like "The Evil Within".
>>321625076
>and the last boss.
The last boss felt so foreign compared to the rest in the game. I thought they would be traditional with that one.
>>321618037
>get dying light
>spend the night feet away from safehouse climbing the same wall for exp
>get mandatory night mission
>realise zombies lose you after one corner
>fear gone
The only thing that game did for me was make me appreciate cdda more and go back to it though
>>321622625
>Random house.
There's a piece of paper explaining that it's a rich guy with an artifact. You need to go into it for an artifact if you play on Expert.
That being said,
>The guy gets to his house by scaling a city gate.
What about Clock Tower 3?, aside for thesailor moon transformation and boss fightingit was interesting the idea of having serial killers looking for you and the (annoying at the same time) moments when the character enter into panic and starting runing around.
I've said it before and I'll.say it again. Miasmata is amazing at making one paranoid and watchful of every cliff, brush and shadow in the forest. The monster looking silly does not matter because of how it acts
>>321622523
Try Alan Wake if you want something story-heavy.
>>321625832
>scaling a city gate in an abandoned old ruins of a city full of paranormal beings.
>RE4
>Not that spooked ever
>okay game I guess
>looks like we're going into some labs huh???
.>FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK WHAT IS THAT HOW IS IT MOVING LIKE THAT
>>321626023
>sailor moon transformation
Now I'm interested
>>321626510
Fuck. Regenators.
>>321626502
Everyone else at least had a street though. I'm not judging but that guy can't complain when the mailman don't deliver to him.
>>321619831
The ironic thing is that there has been more horror games released in the past few years than there has been throughout the 80s-90s.
>>321626515
My bad, got mixed the Silent hill 3 transform costume cinematic and the Clock Tower 3 battle mode. On Clock Tower 3 you just get somekind of bow to fight, not a transformation sequence.

>not the divider death scene where it steals your still struggling decapitated meat sack
So, I'm playing the first Onimusha on the PS2 and thinking about this threath, could Onimusha can be categorized as horror (or secondary horror as another anon said to Resident evil)?. Because it looks like Resident evil except in samurai era and changing zombies and virus for demons (and not ammo management, instead, magic management).
So what do you guys think of Eldritch?
It can get pretty spooky
>>321628219
You actually still do a magical girl transformation for the very final boss battle.
Against a fucking pirate.
>>321630979

The original Silent Hill-trilogy is still the greatest set of psychological survival-horror games ever made. If you people wanna play them on PC, in glorious HD, you can grab them here:

SH4 torrent: Kickass torrents
And in case someone's once again new to this PC gaming stuff: Use a program like DaemonTools Lite to mount the ISOs of 2 & 3, and then run their installers like always.
The SH1 is a PS1 rip that you gotta emulate.
The "sh2proxy" enables widescreen resos, fixes the slow transitions, and works as a no-cd crack as well. It is included in the pack.
>>321618894
Where can I download that thing, google is only giving me shitty creepypasta
I want Outlast 2 already. Or at least a gameplay trailer.
>>321617125
You're a god damn babby if that game scared you.
It's a fine shooter, but as a horror game it was a joke.
>>321618894
I still don't know what was supposed to be scary about Killswitch. Maybe I'm just thick but really, what is even the central idea behind this supposed to be?
This year kicked ASS for Horror.
>A new (and amazing) Fatal fucking Frame
>Until Dawn which was a great teen horror
>SOMA which kept the Amnesia format strong
>A new Resident Evil that was actually good and starred BARRY BURTON
>A re-release of REmake for all the consoles
>Bloodborne which was the only good Lovecraftian game ever
>Handhelds even got a Dementium re-release
>Dying Light managed to make open world Zombie-fests tense
>Higurashi finally made it's way onto Steam
>A brand new Corpse Party came out in the West for Vita
>Indies kicked it up a notch with Spooky's House of Jumpscares
>Even fucking FN@F got its shit together and had a good 4th entry
2015 was so good for a horror fan.Fatal Frame was my favorite
>>321625741
My interpretation was that the end boss never actually happened.
Think about it, people directly influence the STEM system when connected to it. Ruvik was the main influence, but just prior to the final boss, Ruvik escapes after taking over Leslie's body. Sebastien is the only one left inside STEM. So what does he do with total control over the system? He projects himself as a "hero" and has Ruvik (who's not there by this point) transform into a big dumb monster where Sebastien can fight him in the air with a jeep and survive being impaled on a piece of metal after being flung 200ft through the air. After the fight he finds "Ruvik's brain" and crushes it.
None of that actually happens though. In reality he's still trapped inside STEM until Kidman finally releases him. By that point Ruvik has already fucked off and hijacked Leslie.
I thought it was an amazing ending.
>>321620202
Thats cause horror and fantasy excel when we are not expecting it.

What do you guys think about Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth?
>>321641541
Neat for what it was, but glitched to high heaven. It treats Lovecraft with about as much respect as Shadow of Mordor treated Tolkien. Anybody that was an avid Lovecraft reader probably recoiled in horror at some of the things that happened in the game. Being able to kill Father fucking Dagon with a couple of pistol bullets severely triggered me.
>>321641541
Good until you get a gun, then it's just okay.
Hope that Cthulhu game by Frogwares turns out to be good.

As someone who's jaded by all the youtuber let's play bait horror games released recently I've found myself going farther back in time to play legitimate horror.
This is one of the most difficult and legit horror titles I've ever played. Any other titles like this where resource management, challenging combat and a sense of urgency are what drives the game?
>>321642079
>>321642203
Thanks, guys.
