Space Engine

Five Nights at Freddie's.

Dead Space is the only game I couldn't complete due to the spook factor

Minecraft, don't laugh please

>>378120360
Yeah I quit dead space 1 around 3/4 through the game. The game did such a great job on sound and level design. Even the shittiest of jumpscares still felt somewhat surprising.

>>378119974

metroid fusion

>>378120246
I agree with this.

Alien isolation

>>378120891
Are people honestly getting scared from alien isolation? Not trying to play the tough guy here but, I just think the alien is not scary at all. Maybe it's because I watches all alien movies to death.

>>378119974
Sanic 2006

>>378119974
SCP Containment Breach

Compared to the baby preschool shit like outlast 2, amnesia, fnaf, and all that gay shit. Alien Isolation and RE7 are good spooky games because they're not artificial fear. you don't get scared because the game only lets you walk and hide, the fear comes from the atmosphere and having to preserve the only means of surviving.

so RE7 and Alien.

also bloodborne

All those youtube bait horror-games didn't do it for me, I prefer things like scratches and dark fall.

>>378120950

Honestly almost nothing. Just some moving static and it twitches a little.

>>378120173
Thinking about things like the universe, galaxies etc and how insignificant everything is scares me like nothing else. I don't think I could play that engine you posted, especially things like black holes.

Does anyone else reach a point in horror games where it becomes oddly comfy and you're not scared in the slightest.

Games like Resi 7 and Dead Space where about two hours in I'll be used to the surroundings and will feel oddly at home wherever I am. It then ceases to be scary whatsoever and becomes really nice for some reason.

>>378123226
Yeah, I'm the same. After a while I'm just used to the setting, the music, monster sounds etc.

I'll tell you what it doesn't do, it doesn't make a sound which is the reason why 95% of jumpscares make you jump.

I think anon is retardedly trying to explain the difference between being scared and being startled.

By definition, any game that completely relies on jumpscares isn't really 'scary' per se, because the human brain is literally hardwired to react to sudden movement, sound, light, etc, as a survival technique. It doesn't matter in the slightest what jumps out at you, because a sock-puppet exploding out of a drawer going 'boo' gets the same reaction as a monster. Actually scary games have to get into your head, build up a sense of dread and discomfort, and actively make you uncomfortable while you play AND after you've finished playing, which is incredibly hard to do, especially compared to how easy it is to repeatedly shout BOO! at a player.

>>378123667
nice

>>378123604
Tall Woman in 5 is fucking terrifying she stalks you throughout the game but is only hostile 4 times, rest of the time she is just watching you through a window or far off from the forest

Speaking of horror games, I've heard a lot of good things about The Witch's House, but all the links I find are dead. Where can I play that game?

Thief 1-3

Pikmin 2, Submerged Castle genuinely gave me nightmares.

>>378123761
Sorry but actually scary games still have to startle you to work. It's just a question of how often and how well-framed.

The last game that made me feel scared was the Penumbra games, this was when they were still in development and free games years ago. That part when you have to hide from the doggie and later the spider that chases after you was intense as fuck.
After a while I found out you can just use meat to lure the dogs and kill them easily.

Either scary games make me feel angry or frustrated at the characters/narrative.
Same goes for movies, the only movie that actually made me feel spooks even after watching it multiple time is The Exorcists and The Poughkeepsie Tapes made me feel uncomfortable because you know very well that realistically speaking there are freaks like him out there in the world.

>>378119974
Until Dawn is pretty effin good when you get into it. First Outlast, obv, SH 2, Deadly Premonition if you don:t mind the graphics

Games that scared me aren't scary per se.
When I was a kid Doom scared me because of the bloody Doomguy's face in HUD. The moment I died I always quit the game.
Next scary game I remember is Fallout 2. Besides accidental jumpscares (fucking Hakunin) there is a location, Ghost Farm, that for some reason made me irrationally scared even though I knew nothing could happen. Of course when I figured out that it's all a ruse it wasn't scary anymore but the first time I was there it was very spooky.
Fallout 3 was the last scary game for me because of the metro. I totally ignored it and broke the sequence by going straight to Rivet City instead of doing the GNR quest. Of course when I finally confronted my fear it all turned out to be pretty tame.
The only truly scary game (but still not horror) that was scary to me is Pathologic. It's hard to explain but obvious if you played it. Plague clouds and infected houses were very unnerving despite shit graphics.

sadly i'm so desensitized to horror films/games they don't scare me anymore.

it's my fault. every time something horror related comes out i buy/watch/play it instantly hoping to feel something.

I find spooky sections in non-horror games to be the only thing that scares me since i'm not expecting it. I love the threads here where people post things that scared them in a Kirby game, for example. Like the dead earth theory/pasta in Kirby 64.

>>378123226
I get that too. I think it's the slow subconscious realization that you are in no bodily harm, as well as becoming more familiar with the consequences of dying in the game and how those are often very small in modern games.

You know what's scary? Dying 40 minutes into a level in an old RTS or Tactics style game and having to start all over.

Jump scares are the worst scary mechanic.

>>378119974

ARK: Survival Evolved. By far the best "Blair Witch Project" simulator I've ever played. WITH DINOSAURS.

No, adjusting the gamma doesn't help. In a literally brilliant move, adjusting the gamma high enough that you can see at night causes you to be blinded by daylight, so you just trade one weakness that can be corrected by carrying a torch for one that cannot.

>>378128337
NOW THAT'S SCARY

Doom 3 in VR is the scariest shit I ever played. The normal game on a flat screen isn't bad, but being INSIDE the game just makes unbearably spooky.

>>378121867
RE7 didn't scare me at much. I'm become a huge pussy in my old age (29) and I beat it several times no problem.

Dead Space was terrifying for me though. Couldn't get through it.

>>378128658
I could see that being terrifying

I thought Condemned: Criminal Origins was scary the first time I went through it.

>>378126818

>>378119974
I watched the movie that that gif is from a few days ago. I didn't quite understand what was going on, but I enjoyed it anyways. Certain scenes, like the gif, were incredibly unnerving and I think that movie is a good example of how to make something feel 'creepy'. Which is interesting, because it's not even meant to be a horror film.

Why do I find space so non-scary? I'm more frightened by deep sea.

>>378130623
Not sure about you, but I don't find space scary because it's completely out of my control. If a meteor is coming or a black hole is going to suck us up, there is nothing in my power to stop it. If I'm gonna die by that, then oh fucking well.

>>378119974
Silent Hill 1-4, Siren 1,2, Fatal Frame 1-4 and Parasite Eve 2. Some parts of the first two Resident Evil + RE 0 and 3/4 of the first Dino Crisis game.

Everything else is garbage on all possible levels, they can't even hold a candle to these behemoths.

>>378130839
Yeah, I agree with that, but I find deep sea scary because it's a large empty void. Space is also a large empty void, so I should be scared of it, no?

>tfw you're a huge fucking pussy about horror games where they terrify you so hard you have nightmares for literally months and some nights you don't even sleep because you're so scared

Never been scared by a movie though

>>378130623
Fear of the unknown.
Fear of space can be considered fear of the unknown too I guess, but at least you can visually see most of the things you're afraid of.

I'm the opposite. Movies can scare the shit out of me, but I usually don't have a problem with scares in games (aside from cheap jumpscares).

Once you have control of your character and can identify the monster, it becomes really easy to "gameify" it in your mind and just focus on the mechanics required to progress, so it loses its scare factor.

Atmosphere.

Vagueness/lack of knowledge about enemies

>>378132014
Skeletons

>>378132014
yes

>>378132202
this. If you know what you're fighting and it's tangible, you can resort to mechanics and it loses its scare factor.

japanese games are a lot better at atmosphere and psychological horror than western games.

>>378131681
I don't know, movies are 100% scripted so I feel like I can't truly be surprised

Writing is also very spooky though, went on a binge of reading SCP entries one night and some of them really spooped the shit out of me

>>378132202
>Vagueness/lack of knowledge about enemies
This is the biggest one, which so many horror game devs don't seem to get.
If you keep the enemy very vague, maybe with occasional glimpses or sounds instead of full-blown face-to-the-camera PoV jump scares, your imagination will fill in the blanks to make it scary.

>>378132264
Skeletons aren't real.

>>378131065
You're never going to space. You can actually visit (and potentially be lost in) fathoms deep water.

I'm sure if you were offered the opportunity to go in to space it'd be a terrifying prospect.

>>378132509
there is a skeleton inside your body right now

>>378132592
Such a tryhard... That's too ridiculous!

>>378132576
I suppose you're right.

>>378132359
re-watching a movie is much less scary than re-playing a horror game, I agree there.

Writing is honestly top-tier spoopy to me. Since you create your own imagery in your head, it works better. SCP is really good at that.

the scariest story i've read is /r/nosleep/comments/3f3te1/my_brother_died_when_i_was_a_child_he_kept/

I once had one of those wolf guys (Vargas I think?) glitch out and follow me everywhere. He'd go up to me, pull out his sword, lock me into dialogue, then after I talked to him he'd un-aggro and just stand there for a bit before starting again.

That got me seriously spooked the first few times it happened.

>>378137148
I dont know if its just because I was psyching myself out because I dont really play horror games but I went into system shock expecting tons of spooks but it wasnt really that scary. The music probably had something to do with it.
Regardless, SS2 was magical.

>>378135372
well when you take a very very dense object and attempt to crush it with gravity you can flip the laws of physics on its head and create a point of singularity (black hole) the black hole isn't actually a sphere it is a point. The black you see is empty because the light passed the event horrizon.

Read Lovecraft

RE4 wasn't that scary until you get to the regenerators. Fucking gross breathing noises and shit. When you don't have the scope to kill them yet either. FUCK

I'm replaying Alien Isolation and the arcade-style DLC maps are terrifying. I like to think I'm fairly desensitized but I was tense the entire time playing it and I literally yelped when I was going through some vents and I used the flame thrower for light and I saw the alien in front of me because I didn't know it moved through the same vents the player did.

lol, those games are more predictable than clocks, as long as you realize the monsters always come from the same places and how the game plays a riff whenever they're around, it's not scary at all, zero atmosphere

STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl has some of the best atmosphere in games and some horror moments despite not being a horror game, just having elements of it.

The game portrays a great sense of loneliness and abandonment, you see all kinds of rusty cars and vehicles that were abandoned, you go explore some caves and buildings and shit that are filled with enemies, sometimes like in the Underground Labs, you don't know what you're up against, which makes things really scary. It's more about psychological horror and in the spots the game has them, they thrive, more than any other game I've ever played.

Not at all, you're always sneaking around a well lit house and trying to avoid human/zombies that you know full well what they're capable of. Also after going back and forth the same rooms to unlock doors and more lessen the horror because there's too much familiarity to the environment. There's some tension at best when having to deal with jack chasing you around but it's more about annoyance than fright.

Not our galaxy.
The local galactic group is gravitationally bound, which means the Milky Way, Andromeda, Triangulum and the other 50 or so dwarf galaxies nearby are not moving away from us.
In fact, they are moving all together, and some day, they will all fuse into one massive galaxy.
Beyond the galactic group though, space is expanding, which means that unless FTL travel is possible, we are stuck to our galactic group.

>>378148895
At least the currently used theory, i.e. general relativity, predicts that it is impossible, since time literally stops at the event-horizon(s) since all known black holes spin, you have at least 2 of them, weirder stuff when also charged. But they are likely wrong in the sense that the distances that need to be dealt with near horizons are small, so one would need a quantum theory of gravity. So far, there is no plausible one and/or one that can be confirmed with experiments.

There's no going through, there's no exit, once you jump into one, the only destination is the singularity.
And it would depend of how big the black hole is.
If it was big enough, you could pass the event horizon, the black sphere, and nothing would happen to you for a while.
But the closer you got, the stronger the gravity, and you would end up dying.
Not to mention that time for you would start accelerating more and more.
The time it would take for you to actually die, it could be billions of years for everyone else.

You can see the accretion disks, and they emit very powerful radio sources.
But if the black hole wasn't swallowing anything, it would be pretty much invisible.
There's rogue black holes there that you could fall into and you wouldn't know until it was too late.

>>378149665

I would venture a guess that black holes we can see are active thus pulling light in and we see the light they've pulled in, not the actual black hole.

You can "see" a black hole because of what surrounds it. Either being the cloud of matter orbiting it, or the gravitational lensing.

>>378149203

Probably trusted Scott Adams (writer of Dilbert), who postulated that gravity was actually an inertial side effect of everything in the universe constantly expanding at the same rate.

Unfortunately, like most hypotheses, it can be trivially dismissed by the fact that, unless the exact center of the earth is also the center of all spacetime expansion, things on one side of the earth would have a greatly different gravitational constant than on the other; and even if this were the case, things on other planets would appear to all fall into the earth, as the spacetime expansion would make the apparent gravity vector on the side of the celestial object facing the earth identical to the one on the opposite side, rather than opposite and directed inward toward the object's center of mass.

This does not happen, so the hypothesis can be dismissed as invalid. Still, it's important to keep explaining this, as disproving invalid hypotheses is far more important to true science than validating correct ones.

>>378148504
Wouldn't it also have the same effect on our perception of time? If everything is happening much slower, that includes the neuron activity inside our brains. Surely, to a human, it would appear that there was no change?

>>378132014
By not going out of it's way to be scary. If anything, try to hide signs of whatever horror their game is based around. Stuff like a normal looking body in a side room with the back of their head unnaturally split open to make the player anxious about any sounds coming from behind them. The most organic spooks are those that the player finds themselves and become paranoid from as a result, like suddenly remembering about all the scary shit you've read when you're about to sleep.

I think Horror games nowadays don't capitalize on the tension that silence brings. If you have music slowly building to something and then the player open a door and the music just stopping that's much more nerve-wracking than if the music crescendo or anything of the sort.
>Music stops and you step into the room
>Floorboards creak and you can hear your footsteps
>Everytime you stop you hear an additional creak/footstep
>As you get further in the delay gets longer where you start to hear two or three footsteps after you stop.
Stuff like that is designed to put someone on edge and you eventually want some sort of event to capitalize on it but you can get away with just creating tension for tensions sake. Even in non-horror games people become aware when suddenly they have a save point before a door, or medkits before a room. We have innate instincts even about video games that could be utilized much more.

Also bring back games fucking with you like Eternal Darkness.

What really scares me is the fucking giant eagles that lived in New Zeland and preyed on Moa. They died out when Abo's killed the Moa out and these birds basically starved to death.

>What games are genuinely scary?
space station 13

I have never known terror so rich

Is that because he didn't close the airlock? What a newb.

>>378156967
...You can play SS13 in first person?

I downloaded it before but something didnt work quite right and I couldnt really control my character.

This makes me want to reinstall

How can we be sure it actually completely 'removes' matter? I get that the laws of the universe could change, I watched that other video too of the boson category so that might be a reason for it, or perhaps it wouldn't.

But this video makes it sound like it's because of the massive amount of energy (pure energy?), which wasn't specified.

I knew of the false vacuum before, but it's nice to have it explained in a simple fashion.

No you faggot, he clearly activated his extinguisher accidentally

That would be pretty awesome, but pretty unwieldy I suppose

honestly if SS13 were in first person, I'd love to play on a server dedicated to this mod. It'd add so much more horror and more depth to being a stealthy traitor. SS13 is one of the few games that can still give me adrenaline shocks and I could only imagine what real time murder-mystery would do.

>>378144675
Different anon, I played it and it was shit.

>>378157602
*I shouldn't even have put quotation marks around remove, since he said everything it touches is eliminated from existence. I should have said literally removes matter from the universe/existence.

>>378134661
I always thought a good way to make this kind of stuff work even more in a vidya is to make the game 3rd person, all animations are locked to 30FPS, except for the monster, which would run at 60.

That could create something very uncanny to watch.

>>378148492
This. I'll never let the demo go, I hope it's possible to redownload it on the PS5 like you can with the Pro.

Play .flow if you haven't already.If you have, Witch's House is good and Kirisame ga furu mori is alright. As a last resort you could try Ao oni, but only if you like consuming shit.

>>378158669
Meh, face is not that scary at all. Besides it's flashing and you can barely see it.

stop talking retarded shit like that.

Do tell, what do you think holds the milky way together?

The Fatal Frame series I don't know why but video game ghosts scare the shit outta me.

Nah mate it was scary

>>378159134
Probably the most obvious reason retarded the gravitational pull between all the starts and probably with high certainty dark matter around the galaxy from the outside.


Fucking retarded.

How long to learn moon, bros?

>>378157196
No, that was from when somebody was making a remake in the doom engine for a laugh.

Rizor's been away for a while now, wonder what happened with him

>>378158476
There's a way to redownload it on PS4 as long as you have it in your downloads list.

>>378136658
I never experienced sleep paralysis, so I never understood what it's about exactly.

Does the brain hallucinate and let you see creepy creatures? Why only monsters, though? Why can't people with sleep paralysis hallucinate their deceseaded loved ones or something else entirely? It sounds like a terrible experience, but why is it always so?

>>378121867
RE7 is scary until you encounter the goop monsters and die to Jack for the 10th time.
