Can you name a game that is scarier than P.T.?
Not any of this new shit that's for sure, unless my tolerance for horror has increased since back when PT came out.
>>339761706
Totally true. I'm especially looking forward to that new VR horror game with Lovecraftian inspiration.
>>339761493
Afraid Of Monsters: Director's Cut.
>>339761842
What's it called? I gotta see some of that.
>>339761493
Bloodborne.
>>339761989
What's scarier about Bloodborne than PT?
Lostboy was pretty scary
>>339761493
Thief 1, 2, and 3? Also they're actual video games too. How about that!
>>339761906
Edge of Nowhere
Alien vs Predator marine campaign.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>>339761989
Bloodborne's theme was cosmic horror but not a second of the gameplay or story were actually scary.
Anyone seen this one? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFIz_ZhZ4Cw
It doesn't really look that good, but man I'm desperate for a game with ayy lmaos that is not an action-packed bloodfest or another boring horror game set in space or whatever. I just want some spooky and mysterious grays to make me shit my pants.
It was supposed to come out last year, but they haven't even updated the steam greenlight page. The devs are still posting about it on facebook though, so there might be a chance.
>Bloodborne or AvP scarier than P.T.
come on
>>339762753
exactly, I haven't seen anything with half the atmosphere or pure unsettling feeling of PT since after release. what am I missing?
>>339762898
>what am I missing?
Taste.
>>339763270
Different Anon. Tell us a scarier game.
Not even arguing, I just want spooks.
>>339763270
everything prob scares you. what you got that's scarier, son?
>>339761989
the action nature of bloodborne makes it literally impossible to be horror.
you can be spooked but in a game where you're meant to kill everything, you don't really get scared.
>>339762172
only thing scary about those games are the visuals LOL
>>339761493
FNAF
Imagine, specific scares for VR with eyetracking.
Subtle shit that happens in the corner of your view, so that you never get a good look at the threat. People staring at you through windows, that disappear as soon as you look at them.
That shit could kill a man.
>>339761989
Well, it is quite frightening to be alone
>>339763506
that's what I'm thinking, there are things in bloodborne that are unsettling like that thumerian queen who is pregnant and bleeding, and there are intense moments like monsters yelling at the top of there lungs, but not truly scary.
>>339763692
>VR could very well be what horror games need for a fresh restart on a stale and dying genre
>It becomes illegal after it literally starts causing mental trauma irl
>Polygon Article: "When Does Horror Become TOO Scary, Should Horror Games Be Less Horrific??"
>>339761493
Allison Road and Visage.
>>339764029
I can picture that happening.Also, I can see myself not sleeping for 3 nights in a row because of games too spooky
>>339761493
SCP containment breach can get pretty spooky.
Although people here will just pass it off as a meme game.
>>339763692
AHHHH YES
Honestly, Dreadhalls on Oculus was cake compared to P.T.
VR alone isn't enough, they need to bring that technology like you mentioned together with geniuses such as del Toro and the game would be outstanding.
>horror game
>it's a POV walking simulator with jump scares and no gameplay
>>339764273
you considered guns gameplay huh
>>339764273
>mad and meming because the walking sim teaser with 1 (one) hallway was still somehow more well crafted than his faves
White Day will forever be the scariest game to me, even with its 2000 graphics
>>339764029
It would be cool to try out, though all it would take would be 1 jumpscare for me to never ever try it again
>load up horror game from today
>3 hours of walking is considered a tutorial
>>339763692
Better yet, add learning into the mix.
See a monster but aren't afraid of it? No problem, we'll just track your head and eye movements and pulse and figure out which ones get you REALLY freaked, and then we'll change the game so you run into those more.
>>339763923
>>339764043
>>339764204
>>339764334
>>339764442
Does anything even attack you in that game? You can put the midfuckiest of shit in a game, once the player realizes they're not in danger it loses all tension.
>yfw P.T. is un-canceled
>Konami lets Kojima come back
>Del Toro is on board
>Brand new and improved engine
>Released on VR
>>339764684
Yes, that thing attacks you if you don't make certain things, if I'm not mistaken.
See >>339764540
no. i think amnesia during the chancel/choir part came close
>>339764684
Getting killed and respawning kills more tension than anything
Specifically because you know where/how you die
P.T. is a never-ending loop, you are threatened in the same sense as other horror games, but it isn't stupid "respawn / try again" formula
>>339764713
tfw silent hills was supposed to be this year
>it's a pt thread
fucking triggered fuck you OP

>>339764215

Meme games aren't scary.
>>339762172
Majora's Mask is spookier than that shit.
>>339765368
Have you played it?
I'm going to get memed on for this but spookys house of jump scares was intense at parts
>>339765651
the cartoony one? what was intense about that?
>>339765606
I watched it.
PT isn't actually that scary honestly.
Theres ONE jump scare and everything else is just a haunted house simulator.
It doens't do it any favors that it's the same hallway over and over.
>>339765796
Play it. Don't look anything up on it.
>>339765651
You mean Spooky's Jump Scare Mansion.
>>339765879
Actually there's a few different jumps, most happen once a play through
>>339765879
but the story that sets everything up, the way the scares are set up, the art, the atmosphere, it's on a higher level than most of this other crap, it feels like actual pros made it, and that's just the teaser.
>>339765962
Yes, they had to change the name recently so I didn't know if /v/ would know what game I was referring to
>>339764605
>>339765879
But it creates a sense of dread. That is what real horror is.
>>339761493
What's so scary about it?
I was disappointed that it had to rely on 2-3 jumpscares.
The only good part was the woman above you.
>>339765869
You gotta play it.
>>339766093
>>339766191
>>339766025
It can also be completed in 30 minutes.
It's a shitload easier to design ONE really good isolated experience then a 6-12 hour game.
>>339766279
most of these other horror games that you can compare it too are in small areas as well. it's what they did with the space in PT that counted.
>>339764605
Goes through all of your social media and other online records. Spooks get personal.
3D models of your own friends getting murdered. A re-creation of the car crash you were in two years ago.
Try to take it off? Sensors will know. They will delete all of your game progress if you take the headset off before the checkpoint is reached.
>>339764114
Allison road is total bullshit
The video that shows the game has glitches and it's basically screaming LOOK HOW SCARY IT IS GUYS
It doesn't even try to put you at ease and then actually throw in the mindfuck you're supposed to go through
Visage on the other hand does the job perfectly
It's mostly silence and normal noises and then things start to get very uncomfortable
I'd say Visage is the only one that nails the horror that PT created despite being a simple teaser
>it's a horror game with a monster that keeps killing you and desensitizes you to it
what game is this?
>>339766467
>Freak out and turn it off and go to bed
>Turns itself on at 3:17 AM
>Low chuckles coming from device
>"Did you think it was over?"
>>339766475
Yeah, I saw a teaser for Visage and I got hyped.
Honestly, I wish they'd do the same POV style but in a setting that isn't a house.
I don't have a ps4 and I've never played/seen PT yet.
should i just watch a youtube playthrough or wait for the offchance that I can get a PS4 WITH the pt demo on it since it was removed
>>339764684
To be honest the game puts you in many dangerous situations
Some times Lisa will randomly spawn behind you for just enough time to see the shadows or something twitching and then die
The whole mood is very uncomfortable
After the whole red clusterfuck (the part about the baby laughs) the game gets very tense
Lisa will sometimes 3 feet from you and you'll hear her cry directly in your ear like she's breathing on your neck
Very unsettling stuff in my opinion, that teaser and some moments in MGSV just show that Kojima would have totally nailed it but Kojima just had to pull the plug
>>339761493
marrige
>>339766672
Watch a playthrough, but watch one without a bunch of douches talking through it.
And disable your pause button, if that's possible. Kek.
It won't be AS scary but it will be close.
>>339761493
My future prospects
>>339766475
Glitches?
i have fatal frame 1 and 2 on xbox
should I play those? never actually touched them. if yes, should I actually emulate the ps2/wii ones for better graphics and/or gameplay changes?
I think Alien Isolation is pretty damn good. I'm playing it right now and the Alien is pretty frightening and makes things fucking tense. Especially since it's AI is rather good. It get startled a lot and just how fucking fast it can suddenly move.
>>339764684
What is "danger" in a video game? The threat of having to respawn?
P.T. is absolutely terrifying, end of story.
>>339761871
Pretty great game to soak yourself into the atmosphere. I wish I could play It again for the first time. Leagues better than Cry of Fear and it's over narrated heavy metal bullshit.
does alien isolation compare to PT's style of horror?
I want that same sense of horror
>>339766964
I remember seeing a video with texture loading problems and there was this time a monster showed up and disappeared or the guy playing closed the door and the guy casually followed him without making a noise or without making any sound or attacking
I don't remember it was a long time ago
>>339763692
>>339764605
>>339766467
>>339766594
I need this game now.
>>339767370
Aliens: Colonial Marines?
Hotel 626
>>339767437
Don't worry, anon. It's already ordered itself for you.
And it will make you play or it will make you pay.
Horror buff here. P.T. is easily one of the scariest games of all time. I'm not gonna say it's the best because horror is subjective to what scares you. I will say this though - P.T. is brilliant in it's premise and one of the finest examples of "horror". Looping through the same hallway over and over was a great psychological effect. It made you very cautious of every small, or big, change. It's a damn fucking shame Silent Hills was canceled, literally breaks my heart.
Anyways here are some lessen known horror titles highly worth checking out. And they're all cheap on Steam.
The Cat Lady
Layers of Fear
Pony Island
Year Walk
I Am Alive
Anyone interested in horror should play this...
https://youtu.be/BczPm1d5_18
>>339767079
>What is "danger" in a video game?
Forgetting the fact that you're in fact in a videogame and be so into it that you're afraid whatever happens to your character will instead happen to you
Horror obviously doesn't work without immersion
>>339767601
Loved Year Walk, but I don't consider it horror at all.
>>339767695
Well that description fits P.T. absolutely perfectly.
>>339764029
dude wtf don't give them ideas

>>339764114
allison road is a pt rip its funny p.t was just for them to show off the new engine now all the people are making horror walking simlulators set in houses its fucking funny.
>>339767601
I didn't like the shift in music. They did a great job making it fit, but still nothing in Cat Lady comes close to Thousand Shades of Red in the original Downfall.
>>339768036
It's better than the Slender knockoffs. At least people are actually putting effort in the P.T. stuff.
Just watched the trailer on YouTube. Visage looks fucking awesome.
You guys do know that P.T. was basically Silent Hill: The Room, right?
how did the man that made MGSV make PT? was it just del toro carrying everything
>>339768475
That's actually a game, kek.
But anyways, P.T. was way scarier than the Silent Hill titles I've played. (most of them)
>>339768595
obviously we dont know how much kojima did vs how much del toro did, but it's naive to say del toro carried it, he added his ideas as film maker and story teller.
Allison Road.
https://youtu.be/__i_LoRKhJ0
Visage.
https://youtu.be/x-AJjWF58AY
https://youtu.be/bMlTSukHsX0
I would add Layers of Fear but that game already came out and honestly not all that scary. It was too scripted for my taste.
>>339768595
I wouldn't be surprised. It had a very cinematic feel. And Del Toro directed my favorite horror movie of all time (The Devil's Backbone).
what's the best P.T. no commentary playthrough vid
>>339768963
I can't tell whether or not it's the best, but here is a full playthrough without commentary.
http://youtu.be/blD2TiavFJA
well hey guys at least theres allison road and visage to fill the silent hills p.t gap.
I think Silent Hill 3 is scarier. Love both.
>>339761493
FNAF
>visage is VR supported
if it ends up as decent as the trailer, I really would want to buy VR for that game
>>339769247
No, Undertale is scarier.
>>339769247
I found FNAF 4 scarier, just because listening for sounds is so much scarier than looking for images, personally. Also having to check behind you.
>>339761493
Do jumpscares qualify as scary?
>>339769408
That depends.
>>339767601
add lone survivor to this list. It's basically a 2d silent hill. Not scary, but the atmosphere is good.
>>339767079
This.
>>339767695
It's a video game, if you actually think you're in danger you might be autistic. It's scary like a movie is, god "muh immersion" fags are so annoying.
>>339769507
>lone survivor
Sequel when
>>339767917
>never ever
did this get cancelled?
This game was pure nightmare fuel at times.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bbj6KLZr4s
>>339768595
On a cinematic level MGSV was really good. Just because kojima can't write a story for shit doesn't mean he's incompetent at everything else.
>>339769628
No, it's just one guy making it.
>>339769659
love that moment. it happens pretty much randomly. so good.
The only thing scarier than P.T is how fast Silent Hills was cancelled.
>>339769659
>"I sure am glad she's out there and we're in here"
>>339768825
When is alison road actually coming out? IT seems to be in EA limbo
>>339769748
fuck me the trailers for MGSV were so fucking good
>>339764684
man i wish i was one of the few who got to check out PT before the jig was up
it was a pretty cool move to cover it like that. much better than just saying "here's the demo for a new silent hill"
Stalker SOC has some of the most terrifying moments in a non horror vidya I've ever played, Op. COP also takes you to some spooky places.
>>339769847
It got picked up by some studio and has been MIA every since.
>>339769929
Play the free Unity version some person made to get a taste.
https://jedlondo.itch.io/punity
>>339768825
I don't know if the trailers for visage are just general ideas being shown of the direction of the game, but it looks bad as far as a horor game goes. It seems really tone deaf and just jumps from dead silence to "here's a bunch of spooky stuff at once."
Even alison road seems leagues below PT, but it gets the tension build up much better than what Visage has shown so far.
>>339768475
Not really
It has some parts that obviously inspired Kojima though
>>339768595
the mission where you fight the man on fire in mgsv has a building beforehand that is spooky in first person. it's setup with a radio broadcast from PT before you get there, there were also some moments in other MGS games that were spooky, clearly kojima or someone else on his team has a knack for horror.
Guys, where is the love for Outlast 2?
>>339770024
Thanks for the link, anon, I'll check it out.
>>339770328
was gonna bring it up earlier. hopefully it brings something good to the genre.
>>339770043
It's better than the Slender knockoffs. At least people are actually putting effort in the P.T. stuff.
>>339769751
damn that's pretty impressive, the atmosphere and design of the levels is pretty fuckin cool looking
>>339770429
Copycat. I'll fucking sue.
>>339768162
>>339770127
Honestly, anything involving the Skulls scared the shit out of me
The Evil Within would have been a very scary game if it didn't play out like an Anime.
>>339770576
come get some internet tough guy ;)
>>339769619
I hope soon. I think the fact that he released a directors cut version means he wants to make more.
>>339766206
Goddamn, I loved that part. So fucking creepy, and I missed it my first time through.
>>339770723
Yeah I was gonna mention TEW in this thread but I feel like it turns into 20 faggots reminding me the game is shit and derails a thread. I though that game did really well with it's spooky atmosphere, when it was good. Like the beginning chainsaw chase, ruvik's sister boss fight, and alot of the "countryside" areas were really good. Even the hub world was awesome as far as atmosphere goes.
These things were pretty terrifying. Their slow lumbering walk, the erratic breathing, the glowing eyes constantly darting around. I don't think I've ever faced an enemy in a game that made me feel legitimate fear like these have.
>>339771012
The hub and the nurse were easily the best part of the game.
>>339771085
not to mention the music was really fear inducing on its own
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Du59y3lTznk
>>339770576
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tks_6VzRjXk
>>339766584
For me, that was Layers of Fear. It seemed like they just threw her in to knock you out in moments where they didn't know how to naturally transition from one scene to the next.
>Jump scare straight out of PT
>You die/pass out
>Wake up in a new room
It felt like they did that quite a few times.
>>339761493
Metroid Fusion
>>339766584
Alien isolation. I died so much to the alien in the hospital section it killed all the fun and fear for the rest of the game
>>339761493
Outlast
All the Fatal Frames
>>339771251
Layers is pretty shit
>>339768039
Did you play the Downfall remake? I was surprised by how much it changed.
>>339773420
I maintain that the first one of these was a genuinely good, scary game, but no where near the scariest games out there.
How about Routine, guys? The game that's never EVER going to come out?
>>339773869
Your whats wrong with the world.
>>339773869
Definitely not the scariest game, but anyone who says the the atmosphere of the first was bad is just meme hating it. When it was something relatively new, it was a very good execution of what it was.
>>339773849
I haven't, but I have read that my favourite track is not included.
>>339774224
omg, I hate Europe now.
Don't let this thread die
Also this is now a horror thread
>>339775050
Nigga, SOMA wasn't scary.
>>339761493
I actually find it difficult to, some moments of sh2 and sh3, the bathtub scene in eternal darkness, but it's mostly just moments from other games. But here is some new shit that looks promisingish anyway
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhMbT_hksGQ
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4i72qLAusxI
The idea that Guillermo Del Toro and Hideo Kojima would make a game together. Two shitty directors combining to make a horrible game is the scariest thing of all.
Altering the brightness and contrast makes that game almost indistinguishable from real film photographs.
>>339775147
First of all it is
Secondly I just wanted to keep the horror thread up
>>339769408
Isn't that a defining point of horror.
>>339775372
Fox engine is pretty fucking impressive, even if you think it looks like shit, you cant argue how well it runs for low end PC's.
It's a travesty that shit is just sitting on a shelf now
>>339775551
>First of all it is
No, it's not.
>>339764684
Yes, but whats extra creepy and unsettling about this game is that you don't ever really know when you're going to die. If you touch Lisa, or get close enough that she lunges at you and "possesses" you, she can pretty much kill you whenever you turn around, but not every time you turn around, so you don't really know. I've had runs where I don't get killed at all, and I've had runs where I get killed multiple times.
>>339775893
Whatever, it's subjective
Lisa a cute
I don't think a Doom 3 is a good game, nor do I think that jumpscares are the end-all-be-all of horror, but the game just piles them on one after another and, with the pretty okay lighting for the time, it makes every fucking corner another chance for a spoopy trap. At some point you just can't be ready for the scare or predict it. Literally the only game I've had to stop playing because it gets my heart pounding too fast.

Skyrim with mods, i'm not talking about scary mods either, just lots of mods. Every successful load screen is a blessing, every new area loaded is a prayer answered, every moment without crashing to desktop is a journey in itself. Same goes for Fallout 4 but to a much lesser extent.
>>339776183

>339769510
do you not realize you are contradicting yourself? You're making an argument for immersion while saying immersionfags are annoying. The reason movies and games are scary is because you are immersed, not because of physically being threatened
>>339776183
>MFW
>>339777024
>>339769778
it's honestly so incredibly disappointing, not only did it look to have the basis for reviving the silent hill series and finally making it good again, but it was also something deeper than the fleeting trendiness of shit like fnaf and slender man knock-off #7 or whatever. Like it looked like it could have been a legitimately engaging piece of work. so frustrating that these companies churn out garbage and then don't realize they're sitting on gold

Norman got possessed by demonic aliens and killed his whole family and the ghost of his wife haunts him from beyond the grave.
I fucking miss PT..
Why the fuck did Konami fuck us over..
>>339761989
I actually agree with this.
DeS, DaS and Bloodborne are horror games because of the overwhelming sense of dread and abandonment. There doesn't have to be any jumpscares for a game to be horror, there just needs to be a certain atmosphere. Those games have that atmosphere.
>>339778698

There was a series of killing during that time and the swedish registration strongly implied it had to do with aliens

Now every kind of media has "fandom" associated with it. My friends and I got asked by some random fags at a Rocket League tournament "What fandom are you apart of?"
Gee, I don't fucking know, none of them? I play shit I like and I don't make a big fucking deal about it.
