For me it seems like all horror games immediately lose their magic when you get killed. Penumbra/Amnesia, Outlast, and other games like that prey on fear of the unknown. Once you die, that goes away. Silent Hill on the other hand still scares me to this day, because it brings out our more primal fears. So I guess just go for more psychological horror.

Is there ANY horror game that takes place in abandoned buildings like this? If not, how would it play out?
>>336835430
yep
when i have died once, i just go full speedrun and just sprint past the enemies i'm supposed to hide from
I liked silent hill because there were almost no jump scares.
You almost always knew in advance that monsters were near because of the radio noise.
Honestly, the radio noise is a big part of what made SH scary to me.

Not very different from other types of horror games.
>there will never be a horror game after apartheid fell and you're a white south african trying to escape hordes of blacks wielding machetes.
>>336835752
I can't tell if you're serious or not.
>>336833853
All of these indie shit horror games tell their entire story through notes and audiologs which makes it difficult to give a shit about what's happening. It also means the bulk of the story has to already have occurred and that the events of the game are basically the third act.
>>336833853
This building inspired the setting in the Dredd movie. Cool as fuck in a disgusting sort of way
>>336835582
Fatal Frame takes places in abandoned run down areas. Silent Hill and Condemned also had these kind of areas
>>336835871
That's pretty retarded. For me, the best horror always has a clear descent into madness. Something like Kill List comes to mind.
>>336835871
How is that game? I heard it was pretty good for a horror game and most reviews I read don't really help me make a decision

>>336836172
It's alright. It has some amazing set pieces strung together with a cliche story and ineffective scares.
>>336835430
Maybe if they had something where if you died, a different monster would make its way to you or a new element comes into play like the environment begins to go against you. Something to make it interesting at least
>>336835295

Isn't this the Kowloon Walled City?
>>336836469
making the game harder if you die would be an awesome horror element but a terrible gameplay element.
>>336836236
This sounds like fucking Dying Light, jesus christ.
The funny thing is that Dying Light takes place in Africa, too.
>>336836928
Zombies will not rape you, though.
>>336833853
God yes.
There's a game that attempts to mesh Kowloon with Silent Kill/Lovecraft style stuff, as well, but unfortunately falls flat despite that being a pretty godlike combination on paper.

I've been trying to explain why the game is shallow but alright to someone for ages, this is very accurate, thanks
>>336836236

this sounds fucked up, i would play a game based on this
>>336835582
There's Phantasmal, which I just mentioned >>336837183, but it's got awful gameplay that centers around stealth where the only strategies are either setting your brightness ridiculously high or bumping around in the dark trying to figure out where enemies are, and anything you do to defend yourself (which is made necessary, because of the randomly placed rooms and monsters) wakes up a fucking uber monster that floats through walls and oneshots you.

Doesn't Dying Light take place in a fictional Turkish city?
Which probably isn't that much better knowing the average Turk...
>>336839592
some quarters of johannesburg are quite normal, not unlike any other city. But some parts are just completely wasted by feral niggers. Johannesburg is high on the list of most criminal cities
>>336835582
Not a horror game at all and not exactly a modern city but there's that one swamp slum city in runescape that's terrorized by vampires
>>336833853
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEK808gC1GM&ab_channel=Rick16bit
I remember seeing this years ago, and it terrified me. Looking back on it now it seems very cliche thanks to the flooding on indie shite that we've experienced lately, but the sound design is still pretty spoopy.

Just make the building look a little more Russian and turn it into a WW2 combat game.
There you go, you start out on the bottom floor and work your way up with a group of friends. Your character needs food, water, and sleep. And there's no respawns.

God, years ago I had a dream where I was James from silent hill 2 and I was walking through buildings exactly like this.
>>336842862
Is this a boss fight
>>336842215
I think it would. I'm imagining this like a vertical Snowpiercer with different gangs occuping different floors and the atmosphere changing radically as you make your way down. Maybe a lot more surreal. Everything has been converted into a living area, you walk through people's shit, pass next to people taking a bath right in the middle of a hallways, climb down abandoned elevator shafts, people get inexplicably scared or outright hostile if they learn you're trying to go down, some force or organization is trying to keep you upstairs. The few times you see outside everything is dark and stormy and you can just barely see other towers just like yours stretching upwards and downwards as far as the eye can see.
>>336843738
Someone make this
>>336842215
As a game? Probably not. Would work fine as a book or VN though
>>336842215
You've kinda just invented Elevator Action.
>Invincible monster trying to track you. >only knows your exact location when you save
>>336844104
>Action
I'd imagine it a lot more like a survival / survival-horror game, like I Am Alive or Amnesia depending on how realistic / supernatural you want it to be.
Anyone feeling the new Outlast?
>>336842215
Feasible, but if you're expecting good variety and detail expect to have a game in long development and with a shit tonne of loading screens
>>336844286
Closest thing or at least what made me think about this was those apartment missions in gta4. You had to walk up to the top floor and take detours like an elevator up to only a certain amount of levels and a maintenance room to the rooftop.
I had a nightmare once that I was on top of a tall tower.
There were enormous disfigured giants below, climbing up slowly.
I had to keep building the tower or else they would catch me.
The further I went up, the harder it was to breathe.

Do you remember any specific things about how the giants looked?
The problem with horror games is making them comfortable enough for people to actually play. Most people literally can't even play a FNaF game because it's too stressful. People are averse to being genuinely scared, which is what's holding the genre back.
>>336844968
That's a pretty cool nightmare familia. I wish mine were as interesting.

I'm playing through the original trilogy right now.
Instead of relying on jump scares, a good horror game should make you want to turn your head away from the screen. You should be legitimately scared at losing or dying. Punishing death with a gruesome death animation does this the best.

>>336845808
>Punishing death with a gruesome death animation does this the best.
I prefer mindfuckery and implications of gruesome deaths, desu. Gore does not make a good horror, imo.
>>336839638
>>336845667
What's this weeb shit?
>>336845808
>Punishing death with a gruesome death animation does this the best.
Personally, I hold gore in far less regard than I do jump scares.
There is nothing scary about gore, it's just repulsive. Two girls one cup gets the same reaction from people.
I want a game where a bunch of average joes are transported to a deserted city and are forced to play hide'n'seek with a monster
story involves you trying to uncover why you and the others are there and getting the fuck out
>>336845498
The only way I can describe them is that it was like all the worst facial features on hated family members horribly exaggerated and all rolled together.
>>336841534
what is SA?
>>336846023
This. As shitty as jumpscares are, they're at least scary. Having your eye gouged out in that scene wasn't scary in itself. The build up and tension to that point was scary, but seeing blood and brains splattered all over the screen is at best just a bit gross.

Personally gore does the trick for me, but there are other ways to create fear.

>>336836236
This is absolutely fascinating. Any other stories of ghouls?
>>336846302
You owe it to yourself to play them all.
It's the only series with no bad entries.
The original 3 on PS2 are classics. 4 and the remake of 2 are some of the best games on Wii. 5 was amazing. Spirit Camera was great as a tech demo, and anyone with a spare $5 needs to at least try it out (would have made an awful full price game though.)
The manga, the book and the movie are all very, very good too. I'd put the film up there as the best video game movie. But i'm the kind of person that loved the Forbidden Siren movie so what the fuck do I know.
A game centered around the Biblical Apocalypse would make a good horror game.
>>336846624
>Manga and movie
I was not aware of these, I have to fix this
>>336835871
I really want to like these new indie horror games, watching some of the set pieces is legit spooky but I just fucking can't enjoy them being walk to point a to point b and maybe get spooked along the way or spooked when you get there. Why the fuck is this passive shit so prevalent now?
>>336835871
>Layers of Fear.
The demo was literally almost all of the game.
>>336846328
They'd have to tear down the whole continent for that, Anon. It ain't gonna happen. Pray for their souls.
>>336846624
I actually bought the collector edition because the serie looked very interesting. I'm glad I did.
What's the difference between the PS2 and the wii version of 2? Is the wii version of 2 even translated? Are the levels of the other games as comfy as 5's?
Also, are the levels as comfy as 5?
>>336846979
Wii version was localised, but only in europe, where it goes under the name Project Zero.
>>336841532
Is this worth playing?
>>336846624
>the movie are all very, very good too. I'd put the film up there as the best video game movie.
I love the game series but the movie is fucking awful.
It's a Fatal Frame movie in name only. The camera, the one consistent thing in the series, barely even gets a nod in the film. It's just a dull film about about a curse of lesbianism amongst high school girls. It's as if the took the script to an unrelated bad porn film, cut out all the porn and just slapped the Fatal Frame name on it. It's not interesting, it's not scary, it's not well made, it's just plain shit.
>>336847083
>where it goes under the name Project Zero.
Yeah, I know, I couldn't have bought the collector edition otherwise. I'm glad that NoE aren't as retarded that NoA but that also mean that Atlus doesn't give a shit about us.
>>336847189
Not an answer per se, but given the state of PS2 emulation atm, I'm considering buying an actual console. There's a shitton of obscure horror games on the system.
>>336838432
>san francisco
What? I'm a Britfag who has never visited America but San Fran seems like it would be pretty harmless.
>>336835430
How about when you die you get transported to a different segment of the game.
IE there are four divisions of the game, if you go through the game without dieing, you stay and can beat the game in Route A. If you die once you start Route B, all the way to Route D. If you die in Route Dthe game crashes and never works again
>>336847189
No. It's quite possibly one of the most frustrating games ever made. You won't be scared, you'll just be annoyed.
If you are going to play any Siren game then play the remake on the PS3, stay away from the PS2 games.
>>336845053
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4Pd527GN48
Reminded me of this for some reason that I saw earlier during the WWI threads. I'd like to see a WWI horror game where your protag slowly goes insane over the course of the war and begins to see enemies and allies alike as increasingly horribly monsters.

Pathologic
The one of rare cases of survival horror done right.
You are in a city that is slowly going to hell due to disease and inner strife and you try to save people you care about.
Happens in more or less real time so you have to decide between trying to scrounge up resources or try to finish side quests that might improve your chances.
And meanwhile two other heroes are going through their story making their choices fucking shit up for you.
Also made by russians in early 00s so filled with depression and hopelessness
>>336846979
>What's the difference between the PS2 and the wii version of 2?
Everything. Complete ground up remake with new graphics, camera, controls, music, voice acting, new endings, costumes, gameplay mechanics.
>Is the wii version of 2 even translated?
Yes, good luck finding a physical copy though because it was extremely limited print.
>Are the levels of the other games as comfy as 5's?
2 will scratch the same itch since it's set in a haunted mountain village. I personally preferred 3's Manor of Sleep, myself. Some people place Project Zero 2 as the "silent hill 2" of the series.
>>336847241
>a curse of lesbianism amongst high school girls

I dunno if it's really horror so much as survival but it's a cool concept. You'd need either brilliant AI or to code a shitton of NPC behaviours and personalities. It'd be a game that's made or broken on the quality of the other people in the world/building/tower.
>>336847504
Pathologic is my favourite game, but this image does not represent the game. god forbid anyone ran out of money in the first day.
>>336847681
Was the threat robotic raptors? because theres a WW1 trench horror game about that
>>336847564
>Some people place Project Zero 2 as the "silent hill 2" of the series.
I've never agreed with this. I suspect the only reason people put Project Zero 2 at the top of their list is because it has the "saddest" endings of all the games and for some reason I don't understand there's a lot people who think "sad end = better writing".
I don't really think there is a Fatal Frame that shines above the rest, the series has been amazingly consistent.
>>336847504
Gonna try this for the first time, will most likely starve
>>336847959
Nothin' to do but break into random houses, murder families, and steal whatever garbage and moldy bread they have.
>>336847969
Nah, no raptors, most of the threat was really just the isolation and paranoia that troops developed that gets exacerbated from an unknown threat. I think if a game has that as its setting, it could end up really interesting with a lot of heavy atmosphere.
>citidel of niggers
Yeah that is pretty terrifying.
>>336847450
What's so frustrating about Siren?
>>336848046
It's dangerous to go alone, take this. Godspeed
>>336847504
great game. extremely clever and deep and just hugely interesting to play, though very flawed. can't wait for the remake.
>>336847959
it's more the intention. that which they will probably more closely fulfill in the remake.
>>336848046
Buy whatever you can on the first day
>>336847756
There are some things he didn't mention, like the new voice acting being way worse than the original voice acting, the new gameplay mechanics making the game significantly easier than the original release and the camera controls being not very good.
Both versions have issues, there is no "definitive" version. Just play whatever you can get your hands on.
>>336847241
>The camera, the one consistent thing in the series, barely even gets a nod in the film.
Now hold up a minute playa. Let ya boy holla at ya. I know what yer thinkin': "how can fatal frame be fatal frame wit' no camera obscura?"
Well shit son, I thought that too. But then I gots me ta thinkin', and I had one of them there epiphanies.
See, we all love that fuckin' camera. It's unique an' shit. Well, 'cept when DreadOut ripped it the fuck off. But that ol' picture takin' machine? It ain't done dick in the whole fuckin' series.
Fatal Frame 1? Was a fuckin' mirror and some bitch into some crazy ass bondage that saved the motherfuckin' day.
Fatal Frame 2? Didn't nothin' save that day except for the warm hands of a twin sister's hands around her bitch twins throat. She dun' strangled dat hoe.
Fatal Frame 3? Bitch woke up after a good nights sleep after findin' that tattoed slut some fresh Asian dick to ride on a boat with.
Fatal Frame 5? That shit ended with a HUG. Like seriously. "I forgive you for being such an evil bitch, now gimmie dem sins."
Spirit Camera? Your camera didn't do shit.The day was saved after introducin' a bitch to her imagery self she created out of boredom, a lack of dick, and the imminent arrival of a sewing needle and an old bitch that was down with the lord.
Even in gameplay. You think you're hot shit excorsisin' on dem ghosts. But then later on in the level they always come back and be all SURPRISE MOTHERFUCKA, BET WE SPOOKED YOU GOOD HUH?
Camera has one fuckin' job: Kill ghosts. 5 games and a few spin offs later and it ain't done that shit once. No wonder the film reduced it to a plot device and brought in them sweet, sweet yellow muff divers, knowhataymsayan?
>>336848231
>trail and error gameplay, nonsensical puzzles, horrendous framerate issues, invincible enemies, can be a long ass time between save points, bullshit collectibles crap in order to get the true ending

>>336836674
just read up about this walled city
very interesting, must've been a fucking hell hole
>>336845808
What made that scene great wasn't the gruesome death animation, it was how you knew what could happen if you did something wrong.
>>336848594
>Even in gameplay. You think you're hot shit excorsisin' on dem ghosts. But then later on in the level they always come back and be all SURPRISE MOTHERFUCKA, BET WE SPOOKED YOU GOOD HUH?
It kind of went away in the later games but originally the camera is exorcising ghosts, it's just the way the game was developed you had to reach certain points in the story before you were allowed to exorcise certain ghosts. After you reach that point and kill that ghost though, it was never coming back.
The camera is iconic to the series, it's the only consistency across all the games and it was barely in the film and was of no consequence. Besides, even if I ignore that it doesn't change the fact that the movie is shit.

Are you serious? It's fucking brilliant

Wouldn't it just load while going down with the elevator? >>336846262
How about separating all 4 players to highly different locations?
>>336848046
if you are like me, the game will require a lot of experimentation. that, i think, is just ice-pick lodge's style, and i really like it that way. it requires you to really get into the mindset of your character and really look at the world and the people in it. and it's very rewarding to do so.
i played the game a lot without getting very far, restarting from the first day a bunch of times, then i finally "got it" and could continue further into the game. it's funny because after that point of "getting it", the game just felt much more natural to play. it became a comfier overall experience, though at the same time still very tense, strange and disturbing.
>>336848981
Well, okay, but you still need an i7 and a good gfx card to be able to play Snake Eater or late games like Raw Danger. I'd rather buy the system and burn the DVDs, desu.
>>336848981
I tried emulating Fatal Frame 1 last year, there were graphical issues with the effects in the game. You can play it fine and if you don't know what you are missing it probably won't register but it doesn't look how it's supposed to look.
Obscure is a good horror game, even has character perma-death and good co-op
Dont let the intro fool you

Not for the games I'm interested in, i.e. obscure survival horrors and games that came out late in the system's lifespan.
>>336849403
I still don't understand why it didn't have splitscreen. I beat both games in co-op, but some sections were pure hell in the one screen setup.

I'd play this over the indie trash any day. Seems to be designed with taste and common sense.
>>336849374
I doubt it m8. Unless you want to play it in 4k or something. Haven't encountered any issues with PS2 games.
>>336849384
Try running it in software mode instead of hardware mode.
Software mode will emulate the PS2 more accurately but you won't be able to increase the resolution or the quality of graphics apart from a bit of AA.
>>336849642
Yeah that sucked

This is the horror game I'd like to play, but developers are too stupid to create. Just establish a spooky, claustrophobic environment (in this case an abandoned building complex) and fill it with all sorts of insane psychological horror, from ghosts, through body horror, to phobias-based crap - but NEVER devolving into screamers territory or Penumbra-style hide and seek monster gimmicks. Just a content tourist game of horror.
Now there's a fucking walking simulator I'd play.
>>336849805
I don't "doubt it", as I tested the games I'm interested in and they run like shit. Stuff like Michigan: Report From Hell, Raw Danger, Disaster Report, Snake Eater. They all miss post-processing, have audio desync problems, etc. If you don't believe me check the PCSX2 wiki and read the comments.
I'm not one of those "muh emulation accuracy" fags, but why settle for mediocrity when you can play something as intended?
I played a horror game some time ago but I can't recall the name.
>man arrives in an empty mansion
>touches an object and has a flashback
>some sort of unkillable demon chasing him in the present
Ring any bells?
>>336845149
Werewolves are camp, and qualify more as thriller than horror. Werewolves, when done right, are like a super comfy Halloween-themed movie/game, rather than a scary thing.
>>336850172
Fair enough. I haven't tried those games to be fair.
Have you tried running them in software mode?
The reason I emulate games is because, in most cases, you get a better experience than you would by playing it on PS2 (graphical improvements). Also, some PS2 games are quite expensive. I saw FF3 on Ebay for over £40.
>>336835582
There's a game called homesick that is pretty much walking through abandoned buildings but no horror monsters chasing you it just makes you feel depressed and hopeless.
>>336850459
I might check this out
>>336845149
that is sexy
>>336847504
Good to know. Never had the patience to play that game, but I could never deny it's eerie atmosphere and suspect it's quite good.
It's one of those games forever stuck in my backlog that I'd only play if I were stuck on my laptop on a long business trip. Except I'm not a businessman and never travel.
>>336836236
I thought I lived in a shithole but this is a whole fucking level above
>>336850369
that's true.
but he's got a point, it could be something interesting and actually scary if done right, but no one really wants to do it.
>>336840618
It's kinda like what I expected The Evil Within to be.
>>336850615
Bet your ass it is

>I saw FF3 on Ebay for over £40.
I managed to snag a copy from CeX last November for £20. It's since gone up to £35
>>336850603
i thought it looked good too,
then i played it and it sucked,
dont let that stop you from trying it tho

When will the pathologic remake release?
Is it worth it to pirate it and try it out now or should I wait and buy the remake?

Fatal Frame 1 maybe?
SCP containment breach is still spooky.

Even now there is hope for man:
>Limited Run Games, the genius publishers who bring the American market new limited runs of both indie games and high demand games that did not see an American release have hinted that they are trying to work out a deal with Nintendo to bring Fatal Frame V: Maiden of Blackwater to American players in physical format. While the team usually handles PlayStation titles, they are happy to work with other platforms – just don’t expect the games to be changed for physical distribution. They’ve clarified that this would be a distribution deal for a physical version of the available digital game for Wii-U, and that they are aiming for 10,000 copies. Should this deal go through, pre-orders are bound to sell quickly through their website.

Why do a lot of people hate jump scares?
I don't find any horror setting or atmosphere scary the only thing scaring me is the anticipation to another jump scare.
If there are no jumpscares then I wouldn't even consider it a horror game.
I didn't think Amnesia was scary but I shat myself with five nights at freddies.
What do you guys actually mean with "being scared" when you say that jump scares are cheap? How is it possible for media to genuinely scare you without jumpscares?
>>336835067
It's in the Chappie movie right?
the place where they get all those fucking PS4s?
>>336851380
>Everything is a meme
just stop.
>>336851210
No, that's not it but thanks.
>>336851101
Buy or pirate Pathologic classic HD, it's basically Pathologic with fixed english translation and play it now instead of waiting for remake, devs said remake is going to have much different gameplay so you won't ruin it for yourself playing it now.
>>336851101
this is what ice-pick lodge has said on the matter of playing the original before the remake.
if you want to play it, just remember to get pathologic classic hd and not the actual original. that is, unless you know russian and get the original in russian.
>>336851771
>Bong chong dong ghost
I didn't see it when it came out and I ain't seeing it now.
>>336851917
It's a joke .gif not the original jumpscare.

I may be on /v/ but I'm not stupid.
>>336851771
>that entire post
>If there are no jumpscares then I wouldn't even consider it a horror game.
Case and point. You should start playing real horror games.
>>336851771
I don't think it's the jump scare itself, but the overuse or overly long set ups.
If you know a jump scare is going to come, what with shadows moving around or that music sting, it's not going to scare you. Startle you, sure, but not scare.
However, I'd say a good horror game would have a nice balance between them. Especially if they continually set up really dump looking jump scares that don't do anything only to throw something actually threatening at you with no warning or cue.
I'd also say you can have a horror game without a jump scare but would need good atmosphere to make the player worried and nervous about what's around every corner.
>>336851771
Jump scares are bad because they're "cheap" horror.
99% of the time you flash a scary image and a loud sound, people are going to react. It's isnt even real horror, just surprise.
Real horror is basically what you meant by "the anticipation to another jump scare"
Personally, I can play though jump scare games without hassle. Games with long segments of darkness and silence, combined with tense atmosphere makes a good horror game IMHO.
Then again, maybe some people just prefer fright to dread.

Lovecraftian horror game where your mind travels the cosmos and you're not allowed to gaze upon any eldritch beings without promptly going insane? I just want a game that can properly convey "non-eucledian" until I vomit.

Opinion ignored. You don't know what makes horror good.

anti-chamber is the most non-eucledian game we have currently.

How to make a good horror game: add in echoes, eerie ambient noise, and a god tier audio/SFX direction.
You need nothing else.

>>336854702
it is not what youre looking for
>>336854702
Not spooky.
Hour and a half long.
Zero gameplay.
Only interesting section of the game is literally ripped from P.T.
The "game" mainly involves sitting on rides and listening to this bitch whine about her kid. Occasionally you'll get a minor "spook." Otherwise strap yourself in whilst you're on a boat ride that LITERALLY tells you the story of hansel and gretal in its entirety whilst nothing else happens.
I want a horror game about slowly losing your sanity.
Like the first part of the game is you finding out you have a brain tumor.
Then slowly the game starts creeping up the hallucinations. At the start it's just cellphones going off or cars honking.
But then you hallucinate things like your wife cheating behind your back and your daughter shit talking you.
And the game never really tells you what's real and hallucination. You get more paranoid about what's real or not.
