How do we fix horror?

More walking simulators with jump scares and promotion through lets-players.

Or just take actual games and add a screaming face once every hour. Spooky Tetris or something

>>334760856
Make a game about Ayy's

They creep me out

Go back in time and prevent P.T. from being cancelled

>>334760856
Make the actions that the protagonist(s) can makes believable and relatable (save for the silly shit of you're doing things sh style)
Keep the entity mysterious (no "crazy person who's seen this before / this happened, but no one seems to remember / let's investigate" bullshit; it's beyond fucking comprehension [once again, except if you're doing it like sh])
Make and keep the protagonist(s) likeable
Punish the fuck out of the player for death, but not too hard (for instance, going back an hour in progress is fine, but having to start over completely will just enrage the player to the point in which he forgets about being scared)
Keep the player as vulnerable as possible (weapons have zero effect / there are no weapons)

Why was it cancelled? Just because it was a Kojima project and he got fired?

>>334760856
Add more fast things running at you from far away.

Yeah pretty much

Konami hates video games

>>334760856
Make it really offensive so that Let's Players can't play it and it can't be streamed on twitch

P.T. was horrible, I don't understand how people liked it or thought it was good.

>literally hallway/walking simulator
>random ass puzzles
>muh Kojima breaking the 4th wall
>shitty jump scare(s)
>pewdiepie pandering
>unimaginative monster (a ghost, c'mon now)

I am aware it was a demo/teaser but it wasn't a very good one at that.

Sounds a lot like Clock Tower, actually

My take. And yes, I like SH Homecoming.
>More psychological/ambient shit
>MEANINGFUL jumpscares - don't have a random pipe fall or something, have a tough monster surprise you in an otherwise peaceful hallway, or have a beloved character fall from the roof in front of you dead or dying
>Less jumpscares with less leadup. Don't make them predictable.
>Better art style instead of muh gpu-punishing gfx
>More likeable/convincing protagonists
>Give players hope, but without giving them the opportunity to become OP. This doesn't mean breakable weapons, but punishing enemies. In a non-combat form, this could be multiple paths to get away or multiple ways to accomplish tasks. Silent Hill 3 and Resident Evil 2 tied for doing this best, IMO.
>Good storylines and character development, a la Parasite Eve
