how do we bring back horror games?

support devs that make decent horror games so they continue existing

>>383861220
>le support
>not just pirating shit

seriously this fuckin board gets worse and worse

>>383861076
What's going on in that pic?

>>383864263
that car got raped

>>383864263
Looks like that car somehow got covered in hagfish. They secret a ton of slime to keep predators from grabbing them.
How the fuck that happened is a mystery to me.

Yeah. Let's make it so no one can make games anymore because they don't have the money to fund their projects. That'll help more games be made for sure.

>>383862407
Just because you're an underage NEET piece of shit who thinks the world owes him everything for free doesn't make it that way. In the real world, things cost money to produce, without buyers those products will not exist.

Some or all of the following:
>fixed camera angels or SH type camera angles
>pre-rendered backgrounds
>resource management
>item hunting
>puzzles
>riddles
>lore
>fight or flight combat
>harder difficulty

Horror is alive and well but it usually is done by indies and they often go for those walking simulators for their games. I think good horror games need some difficulty to create a sense of tension and urgency. Something that goes contradictory to what a lot of developers like to do these days which is to empower the player as much as possible so that they feel special and awesome. So this is why we don't get much horror games.

ew

First of all, not too many jumpscares, just a few, and make them well placed.

Don't give me a chance to fight back, this just reduces the horror. Instead of fear I'll be observing the best way to react against the next enemy that appears and making up strategies. I should be thinking about the horror, not the beat-down.

Use scary enemy design. Make them twitch, for example, mess up their eyes.

From here on it depends on the game's style really, so advice would get pretty specific.

Just don't do what >>383864953 is saying. That's called "Resident Evil" and it sucks as a horror game.

>>383861076
The problem is no one is willing to experiment in the horror genera anymore, they're just sticking with the guaranteed cash making formulas; jumpscares, walking simulators and Youtuber appeal.

>>383861076
My first thought was getting naked and rubbing myself all over that slime HHHNNNNGGGGGGGG

>>383861076
How about we don't???

This is what I mean. Projects fail, devs can't fund games, then you ask "how do we bring back horror games?"

Does anyone have that silent hill pic for getting into the series? It has a lot to do with avoiding the HD collection

Leave action horror to me

>>383872848
Maybe this time we won't have awkward dialogues between characters. I love Mikami's works but he didn't care all that much about the writing for the Evil Within.

This is a pc specific guide. Not sure if that's what you meant.

>>383873147
I thought the stilted dialogue was fitting. It matched the random and manic flow of the levels. The story is pretty neat too once you learn about all of the moving pieces.

>>383866826
That's terribly ill-advised if that shit is anything like catfish slime. If it gets into any of even the tiniest scratches you may have in your skin it will sting for hours.

This board really has fucking changed.

There really is only one company who manages to get under my skin with their games these days.
