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.

>>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

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.

>>336836236

Shit, it looks cleaner than New York.
>>336842376
In mainstream games? Probably when some lesser known developer comes up with something fresh and triple-AAA devs begin to copy said ideas.
>>336835582
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

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.

>>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

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.

>>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

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.

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

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

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

>>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

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.
>>336847386

>>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.

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.

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.

>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?

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.

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.

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.

Explain how it isn't a walking simulator then. You walk around. You interact with environmental cues. Puzzles pretty much don't exist. The only gameplay is walking around and interacting with stuff that pops up.

>>336842215
Wouldn't it work better if you started from the bottom?(inb4 drake)
Because I imagine that the bottom floors would be the most populated. So there's a certain level of comfort in having other people around. And then as you go higher, the areas become less and less populated. Leaving vacancy for spookier and spookier environments.
The motive doesn't have to be complicated. Just that for whatever reason, you need to go to the top of the tower. Maybe you're looking for someone.
Anyway, you get to the top of the tower midway through the game. And unleash whatever spooks were hiding up there. Now you need to make it back down while surviving all the supernatural madness. When you start nearing the bottom floors, you see the people you met before, except now things have changed. The supernatural has twisted everything around. And then it climaxes at the bottom, when you make a daring escape from some super dangerous spook.

Depends how it's implemented. If the player has to learn the language themselves, then that tends to be something that puts me off.
If it's something that's shown as time goes on, like the play character is able to interpret certain words as english until near the end where he can understand most of what they're saying, then that's something I'm fine with. Especially if the words the play character 'learns' can throw events into a different light, or perhaps even the wrong light entirely depending on their interpretation of their actions.
>>336851775
>It's in the Chappie movie right?
Yes
>>336857646
I prefer the idea of starting at the top, with the implication that you don't know what's at the bottom, never did. It would contribute to the sensation of claustrophobia: you're trapped and the only way out is down, or killing yourself by jumping off. Also gives a clearer motivation: you want to leave this fucking tower. If you start at the bottom, you could backtrack at any time, you're just throwing yourself in the belly of the beast.
>>336857913
Oh, so your character has amnesia? That old plot device?
If we're going with cliched plot devices, then why not just make your wife/husband/child missing inside the tower. That's more than enough motivation to scale the thing.

There are many ways this idea could happen without relying on "le amnesia meme"

Hell doing it like Icebreaker could be cool. From the top to a certain point down is "normal" living with a certain point being where you don't go because spooky stories some people do or don't believe in, and then progressively further down it all just keeps getting worse.
The idea is definitely solid.
>>336858450
What the FUCK
>>336833853
I love the idea of this because I could see this playing something like amnesia. With the monster always stalking you and you just trying to get to the top or the bottom.

>>336836679
This is the inherent issue with horror games - sometimes they're honestly better if they play worse. Tank controls are a great example here. Horror is about limitation, and frustration. You don't play a horror game for its smooth controls, and challenging but rewarding combat, or anything from any other genre. It's a genre entirely built on negative emotional response. Great horror games relish in this. That doesn't mean they have to play bad or be bad games or anything, but harsh limitations like that are often a key element in what makes a good horror game because what makes good horror is not what makes a good shooter, or strategy game, or adventure game, etc. It's a very unique genre in that regard.

What if the building was far underground, like in an upside down city in a colossal cavern long after man had to retreat from the surface due to either ecological disaster, nuclear war, or some other cataclysm that has long since passed into fable. The upper layers are relatively alright but the further you descend, the crazier shit becomes. Rumors of vast vaults of hidden treasures, secret old weapons that could give one of the gangs an edge in the various petty conflicts, maybe security breaches from unknown sources coming up and you've got to stop them. Any hook to drive you further down is a plus.
The bottom would be so very far down no one even remembers what's down there anymore, no one communicates between top and bottom, and so much time has passed that entire cultures have evolved independent of each other across the colossal vertical span.
>>336860994
I agree with this notion.
I stepped in trying to play a horror game. I left with a good sci-fi story.
I had this idea for a game once, a long time ago, it would be a tank controls, fixes camera angle game about a protagonist surviving in a world after a large series volcano eruptions caused civilization to dwindle, remaining human beings are far and few between, it's been so long since the initial blanket of ash hit the ground the protagonist can barely remember the past. It takes place long enough after the disaster that entire towns are covered in thick blankets of ash and mysterious dark creatures have started to emerge from the ash, they will be the standard vicious horror enemies a la silent hill but the main mechanic of the game in my head is that in order to find sparse ammo and other important items and weapons crucial to your survival you have to find houses and buildings buried under the ash and loot them by going down into them from the ceiling and working your way down to actual ground level while trapped on all sides inside a house by feet and feet of solidified ash.
It would be very claustrophobic and prey on the psychological part a lot, I was hoping to work in a story shift where the monsters are coming from under the ash and just a few feet below the top part we walk around on its a pitch black dark hell hole full of monsters that takes up most of the town but isn't seen since we only go under the ash to loot burried houses then leave until the third act where the protagonist is trapped in the dark streets under the "over world"
The story so far is the only thing you remember is your family and one name, the name of your daughter, not much else has stayed true in your mind over the years other than glimpses and flashbacks, when you get to the end you find out you were actually single handedly responsible for the ruination of your family (and possibly several others) due to your abusive tendencies and rampant alcoholism and the name of your daughter, the only thing keeping you going through the hole game was a miss-memory

They have a population of ~57,000 people
>>336861261
Turns out (I haven't worked out the twist fully yet) that the name you've been remembering and seeking this while time was the name of your mistress who you ruined your family to be with, it's just a rough sketch of an idea I've had that i love to toy with when I'm bored.

Americas homicide rate would go down soooooo much if nigs didn't fucking nig everywhere. More people need to spread the word of Colin Flaherty. The man quite simply just actually reports on nig crime and how disproportional it all is. We all know it's crazy out of proportion and that they're responsible for over 50% of the violence in the country, but the youtube keeps showing again and again that it's actually worse than it is.

I know a white south african couple who moved here and started a family recently. They have lots of stories about how violent the blacks are.

Man, I remember my first time trying it with my friend. I was part of an online group five years ago and they decided to do a meet up in an abandoned power plant in Dixmoor. There was a hobo that lived there, but we didn't get a chance to meet him (thank christ). I would totally do it again, but I would need friends to go with again.

Just a general horror game idea I had.
It's like the general idea of Condemned set in a small town where nearly everyone has recently died/vanished. You play through the whole game in a hazmat suit.
It's like a cross between (movies) The Andromeda Strain and Phantoms in terms of setting and weird fuckery with Condemed sort of going about the game I dunno.

Don't live there but am dutchfag with family over there and visited a couple of times.
Contrary to popular believe it's still pretty segregated. You have a lot of gated communities with rich whites in them. These places are just like any first world peaceful city. Yes you will need a gun for the occasional robber. But the same can be said about new york city.
Other places like Johannesburg are actually just as bad as that story tells you. Lawless places that look just like those liveleak Brazil killing videos. It's not a good country to live in overall.
Basically If the people are speaking afrikaans or UK english then you are in a relatively good place. If they speak swahili or any other native language then just run as fast as you can before you yourself will become a liveleak video.
Rape is a daily occurrence in some places.
Basically the nation has places that could be first world white nations if you look at the demographics and quality of life. Other parts of the nation are Somalia lawlessness level of shit. Driving and seeing bodies lying next to the road when you ride to work. And seeing the body still there when you return home is not rare.

I had an idea for a horror game a while ago that when you select a difficulty, instead of choosing easy, normal, hard etc, it would have a list of phobias to choose from that would alter the game slightly to make it scarier for someone with that particular phobia. Like arachnophobia would make spider enemies more common and threatening, or a fear of heights would have the game set somewhere really high up.
I dunno, it's probably dumb but I thought it was cool.

So do you guys think the leaps in VR tech will bring about a new era of horror games? The thing thats made it increasingly difficult to make real good horror games is the lack of immersion, and being able to put the player in this nightmare you're presenting, but with the VR tech we have now, it's now very possible to plunk a person down into a horror setting and make them feel all the more invested in the shit they are experiencing.

>>336872942
that's crazy looking.
last summer there was a forest fire somewhere near where i live. i wasn't that close of course. but some smoke floated through and it created a bit of a surreal atmosphere outside. the smoke made it look sort of foggy and it turned the sunlight more orange too. the entire day felt like the sun was about to set because of it.
>>336873294
i think VR will spark some very interesting things in horror. though i think it will also perpetuate some less interesting things.
but even right now horror game design is absolutely not reaching even close to its potential. in fact, i'd consider the extra immersion provided by VR to be very insubstantial compared to actually good horror design. it's just so, so rarely achieved, or even attempted in a serious and thoughtful way.

But thats wrong, it's true gore is an aspect of body horror, and the most well known, but thats only because it's easy to do. Body horror is anything that involves just...wrongess with a persons body, things that will make you feel increasingly uncomfortable, like those images of lotus holes in a person's skin, thats body horror.
>>336836236
I spent a week in Johannesburg. It's a shithole and was scary at first, but in the end it's not much different than a part of LA I lived in for a year. It's pretty easy to see the type of people you should avoid, and don't put yourself in situations for you to get unlucky.

>>336877929
Horror is mostly scary when you can immerse yourself in the character. This is harder to do in a fantasy setting. A fantasy setting also doesn't have much to offer in terms of horror anyway. Most horror relies on ghosts and monsters and dark places regardless of the setting.
