How did we go from:
Atmospheric survival-horror under the sea to…
…Call of Duty in the sky?
I'm waiting....
>Atmospheric survival-horror under the sea
that sounds interesting but what does Bioshock have to do with it?
>>338087145
For what friend?
That's what happens when you spend 6 years prototyping and rack the development budget into the hundreds of millions. Gotta dumb it down to make it back. The funny part is that even with dudebro gameplay and paid reviews, the game was still so expensive it killed the studio. Bravo Ken.
>Bioshock
>survival horror
>>338087474
It is on hard or survivor mode providing you don't save scum and disable vita chambers.
>>338087983
By that logic COD on veteran is a survival horror.
>>338088085
>checkpoints every 10 seconds
>unlimited resources
lol no
>>338087983
I dont think you actually know what survival horror is
>>338087983
>freeze & smack with hammer
Eve was plentiful, enemies couldn't counter this mad one-two punch.
>>338088297
Your object is to survive and there is horror.
Sounds like Bioshock to me.
>>338088881
oh wow
please stop posting any time
>>338088881
and aside from that one dentist jumpscare where do you see horror in Bioshock?
>>338088481
>one-two punch
Nah pham, it was all about this bad boy:
>get the unbreakable bolt + damage upgrades
>end up with a one-shot death machine that has almost unlimited ammo
Too bad it didn't stick splicers to walls, like the speargun in Bioshock 2
>>338089039
Not him, but horror is subjective. Bioshock is clearly an FPS, but it takes elements from the survival-horror genre.
>>338089039
Doom is horror and that doesn't rely on jump scares.
The horror in Bioshock comes from the tension of the atmosphere and enemies that ambush you.
Do you not remember all those Splicers who pretended to play dead?
>>338089154
>faggots still want that tattoo
>>338089446
>Doom is a horror
are you retarded or what?
Reminder that BioShock 1 is just a reskin of SS2.
>>338087073
bioshock was fun i'll give it that and the world was interesting and fun enough to distract that it's plot was just a dieselpunk system shock 2 with all the rpg elements ripped out and the gunplay made better but it wasn't survival horror
>>338090236
Doom is horror themed.
Horror is more then just jump scares you know, it is also includes things such as grotesque imagery. Terror would probably be a better definition of what most modern survival-horror games are.
Also, why do you think they would make Doom 3 a straight up survival-horror game if the first games weren't horror related?
>>338091182
>Doom 3
>survival horror
stop
>>338091182
Doom 3 wasn't survival horror either you dumb fuck besides by your idiotic logic Dead Rising is a horror game as well.

>>338091910
its an FPS with its "survival horror" aspect being almost entirely just low visibility
The last survival horror game that was released that was any good was deadspace 1. Prove me wrong.The second one was significantly more generous with ammo, and felt less like survival
>>338091910
Wow wikipedia that also states Left 4 Dead has survival horror elements.
Survival horror is a subgenre of action-adventure video games inspired by horror fiction. Although combat can be a part of the gameplay, the player is made to feel less powerful than in typical action games, because of limited ammunition, health, speed, or other limitations. The player is also challenged to find items that unlock the path to new areas, and solve puzzles at certain locations. Games make use of strong horror themes, and the player is often challenged to navigate dark maze-like environments, and react to unexpected attacks from enemies.
>>338092408
If puzzles and unexpected attacks make a survival horror game then fucking God of War is one.
>>338092564
Well obviously not alone doofus, all the aforementioned things are what contributes to survival-horror.
Bioshock and Doom 3 tick all the boxes.
>>338092761
Bioshock has no scary elements to it and no downsides to dying aside from some cash loss.
>>338092761
Doom 3 had limited ammunition and player felt less powerful than in typical action games? Did you even play it?
I'm pretty sure Infinite wouldn't even exist if some employee from Epic didn't forcibly remove Ken Levine's head from his own anus. Wasn't that shit in production for like 6 years?
>>338088881
So Minecraft is a horror game then because it has spooky hell dimension and you have to survive. Good to know.

This is the dumbest thread I've seen all day where someone legitimately tries to push Doom and Bioshock as survival horror.
If they give you the ability to destroy everything in the game relatively easy, it isn't survival horror.
>>338093213
>scary scenes
>ambushes
so fucking scary
>>338093426
Give an example of a scary game then.
>>338093519
No no post some spooky morgue corpses and enemies that attack you I'm sure Batman: Arkham Asylum is a horror game as well because of Scarecrow hallucinations and you even have to collect items to progress just like the wikipedia article you quoted.
Batman confirmed for survival horror.
>>338093213
>Scary game
>posts scenes that only happen in the first 10 minutes of the game
Okay lad.
>>338093897
>unless you provide me every single scary scene in the entire game it's not scary
Okay lad.
>>338094167
The ''scary'' scenes you provided weren't scary to begin with,
>>338093749
Arkham Asylum's scarecrow scene also involves you hiding in cover, does that make it a stealth game? Of course not.
>>338094984
But dude le dark maze like enviroments lmao. Batman even has puzzles as well so according to ebin wikipedia it's a horror game.
>>338091520
>Dead Rising is a horror game
Dead Rising is a survival game tho.
Fucking hate how series just got dumbed to the point of 3 where you literally just use a vending machine to shitout shit you want
>>338096116
Well Minecraft is a survival game as well does that mean we should mention it alongside survival horrors like Silent Hill, old Resident Evils, Alone in the Dark or Penumbra?
>>338096550
never implied as such.
Learn to read.
>>338089154
And there's also the switching your weapons trick to skip the pulling animation between each shot to make the goddamn thing a rapid fire sniper rifle.
>>338095794

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman:_Arkham_Asylum
Wikipedia says it's an action-adventure game
>>338094984
Well it does require you to use stealth when dealing with rooms filled with armed thugs. Hell one time you need to not only avoid getting detected, but also avoid setting off the suicide collars (meaning you can't takedown any henchmen) when saving Jim from Harley I do believe.
>>338097149
Dude it's a full fledged survival horror game
>spooky dark asylum
>psychos everywhere o.0
>Scarecrow
