Siren 1 and 2. They're clunky, but once you get into them, become extremely spooky.

I'm sorry anon. Horror genre is dead. Kids who watch youtube celebs killed it.

This.

I'm fucking dying for new horror. Even the old standby of Japanese RPGmaker games is starting to fail me. The releases are beginning to thin out.

The whole "you're powerless and a big scary thing is chasing you" meme killed the genre. Fuck Amnesia. It even ruined otherwise good horror games like Alien: Isolation and Resident Evil 7.
>>
>>384034401
ywhat is your take on horror? Third person view with unlimited ammo?
>>
>>384034401
RE7 wasn't that bad, at least it was a step in the right direction.


>>384034548
Silent hill is probably the best example of a horror where you can defend yourself, while being weak.
>>
>>384034548
No, just include numerous vulnerable enemies and give me some weapons even if they're weak or the ammo is scarce, like Silent Hill or a good Half Life horror mod.

I also like exploration, and in the games I'm complaining about (Amnesia, Outlast, etc) exploration ALWAYS takes a backseat (and so does the level design) because it's more about making mazes with places to hide from the BIG SPOOKY MONSTER than it is about making places that are interesting/scary to explore or look around in.

Man I can not find a good way to play SH2. If I emulate, I either have to play in 480p or deal with the CGI cutscenes being fucked up where I can't see what's going on. The PC version is glitchy and any of the small cutscenes will freeze after one animation.

Let's get one thing straight, in this day and age only first person will cut it for true horror. There is absolutely nothing scary about the third person view anymore. But yes I agree that the setting should be really done well with the story. I couldn't care less about fighting mechanics in horror so long as ammo is scarce
>>
What are the point of these games? Why do you deliberately want to feel fear? I never got the horror genre, someone illuminate on why you like it.
>>
>>384033546
Life.
>>
>>384036290
Obviously we want to feel fear. Immersion in a setting in which we'd likely never experience first hand makes for a great game.

That's also what made pt so great. It focused on things that could happen to any of us such as familicide. Games that tug on your psychological strings making you question your every move is true horror.

First person horror may be what's needed, but ironically SH2 is the gold standard for horror story telling.
>>
>>384036290
It's more about submerging yourself in an atmosphere, diving into a world of illogical and the catharsis of overcoming and feeling catharsis once you overcome the fear you have felt.

It's all about immersion. If you can't feel it, then maybe this genre isn't really for you.
>>
>>384036290
It is exhilarating when horror is done just right that the overwhelming sense of dread accelerates the heartrate or otherwise elicits a deeply biological and primal response.

>>384036783
Immersion isn't exclusive to horror although it's a probably a feature that's most needed in the genre, but I guess I'll take you guys word for it that you want to feel some primal fear or dread. If anything you would train your fight instead of flight since you all are able to finish those games.
>>
That Yeti hunting game looks pretty ok actually.
>>
>>384035957

That's funny, because I find SH3 to be the dullest game in the franchise. The overuse of the grunge aesthetic really dulls any tension the game has.
>>
I liked the Slender game at first, then it got repetitive as hell.
>>
>>384037505
On the contrary, I found SH3's world the most... aggressive one. Its use of warm colours made even some of the "outside" you see in the church feel repulsing.
>>
Speaking of SH why did they try to continue the series after 3? Heather killed god and the nightmare is over, not much room to go from there.

Milk the series for money.
A plausible answer is the lingering effects the town might have on people with darkness in their hearts.

In my headcanon Silent Hill will always be the same way it was in 2, a town which forces people to confront their innermost demons. Whether they survive is up to them.

Wasnt Silent Hill a resort town built on top some sort of "sacred place"? I guess it could still make some sense if even after the god died some spiritual powers would still linger, even if The Order has nothing to do with it anymore.
>>
>>384037965
That "God" was Alessa's/Claudia's impression of what "God" is. Every "otherworld" is born of strong emotions of people. Hatred in Alessa's case, self-hatred in SH2 and desire to see mother for Walter.

Third personnis not scary. Stop this meme. We're past it and likely will never go back.

It's indeed "rough", but it's well worth the playthrough. Some environments are great, the plot is interesting and it has the best villain in the series.

>>384039237
Yes, you'd only miss some small references. It's not like anyone would be able to understand the plot on their first playthrough anyway.

Still, I'd say try the first game with a guide. It becomes a much smoother ride.

Amnesia itself is good though. Not its fault that it become favorite tool for let's play cancer.

horror is an illusion
>>
>>384038325
Jump scares can be fine as long as they're not overused. SH2 as far as I can remember barely used any if at all.

A true horror game gnaws at your deepest fear making you paranoid. The last time I truly felt that was when I was playing P.T.
>>

>>
>>384039805
Trash, just like the first one.

>can't emulate the PS2 versionf SH2 because the FMV's don't work
But they do? Just enable "Switch to 4:3 ratio when a fmv plays" option from GS Core settings in PCSX2. Played the intro a few days ago. Was smooth as butter.
>>
>>384034401
I wish RE7 was a bit more like 3, like you have a few regular enemies around so you can actually shoot something once in a while but then you have the invencible enemy you have to run away from (even thought you could kill Nemesis but whatever).

Ignore ANY idiots who say Evil Within, it's not scary and the "story" is by far one of the worst... Even worse than shit like RE5.

OP: Try Uncanny Valley for a silent hill vibe and some FUCKED up endings, RE7 is fun until it goes RE with the monsters, if you like Half Life Mods Afraid of Monsters (title?) Was damn good, as well as They Hunger 1 and 2. Have fun!
>>
The cursed forest is a pretty good horror game. Hraphics are amazing as well.
>>
>>384040430
Nope, looking forward to it.
But my favorite parts of the games have been the paranormal events.
>>
>>384039805
Level design is worse than the first, during chase scenes you have no idea where to go and rely on trial and error. There is one enemy who literally has wallhack, but thankfully you don't encounter her much during the story. Seriously, Martha's bullshit. I heard they patched her, so maybe it's better now.

First game's length was perfect. It ended right when I got bored of it. I can't say that about 2. A lot of it feels like it's useless padding and hiding got real boring during the forest section.

Story is more serious, doesn't really have that campy B-movie vibe first game had, though I'd say I liked it more. The twist is kind of clever that is, that MC DIDN'T actually kill the girl, though it doesn't actually affect the main story. Ending is End of Evangelion-tier, though it kinda made sense once you read into the plot and some analyses people made and turn on the microphone during the last scene.

I'd say I enjoyed it slightly less than the first game and it definitely outlasted its welcome. I'd say give it a try/pirate.

Cry of Fear is an enjoyable horror too. The "loading door" got me real good. But the story is extremely cliche. Head it has a fun coop campaign.

Amazing use of color and light especially for a PS2 game.

Wherever you look, you hear only the sound of fire burning, which means the last scene(s?) was a hallucination and you're simply being burned down in a church. Or maybe some other building.

it's absolutely worth at least trying, it might not be for you but if it is it'll get under your skin like very little else.

there's about 5 billion twists and none of them will spoil much of anything. and if it's the one I think it is, it sounds like it would ruin things without context but with context it's just another part of the game; not something that would spoil it but rather something that enhances it.

>big twist
Ugh, which one? The game isn't about twists anyway.

It's hard to describe what this game is. It's an adventure game with some survival elements which features a surreal plot about (on a surface level) a rural town, ridden by extremely old traditions and superstitions, in the middle of nowhere that was stricken by a plague and you trying to get rid of it. Still, nothing is what it seems and it surprises you in new ways.

Pathologic has extremely engrossing and heavy atmosphere as you feel yourself how everything gets worse with each passing day.

So, if you like walking and taking in the autumn atmosphere around, very intricate stories, loads of text and walking, then you should try it.

It's not for everyone, in the best sense of the word. Like Suda's "Flower, Sun and Rain" is not for everyone.

If you decide to start it, you should get the "Pathologic Classic HD" since its English translation is actually readable, and the first character you pick should be Bachelor.

Stalker is not officially horror, really, but it has individual moments more effective than most true-blue horror games.

I got scared playing Clock Tower for the SNES

More like scared, I get stressed as FUCK and can't enjoy anything

Maybe the genre is not for me

One day I wish to experience SH2. Read so many times it's one of the best games ever made
>>
>>384047103
I though we weren't allowed to like it because it was good?
>>
>>384033546
Fifth/sixth gen consoles had a fuckload of obscure horror games. Look there, PC is a lost cause at this point.

You have meme games like Illbleed and D2, wacky shit like Michigan: Report From Hell, classic RE clones like X-Files: Resist or Serve, RE4 clones like Cold Fear. Others already mentioned Siren, so yeah. Clock Tower, Haunting Grounds, Rule of Rose as runner-ups.
>>
Why dont we get more horror RPGs ?

Not much of a fan of horror but I played Oxenfree last night and it got to me in some places. Really good game.

That Game Center CX episode where Arino plays the SNES Clock Tower is comfy as fuck. He also played through the second game, but that episode is not translated, yet.
>>
>>384050325
Can you name more horror RPGs, though (well, other than Koudelka)? Besides, Parasite Eve was body horror, repulsive and grotesque, not really scary.
>>
>>384047103
I thought the general consensus was that Dark Descent is good and Machine for Pigs is shit.
>>
>>384050120
Start slow. Go play some classic Resident Evil before jumping into Silent Hill.
RE is like playing some campy B horror movie. With one liners and everything.

I love how the multiplayer was local only, but not splitscreen, so when player 1 wandered too far, the second player couldn't see his fucking character. Worth playing for the multiplayer capability alone, though.

It is a genre clash. Two opposites that are hard to make work together. I'd say the Souls games were horror RPG's. As soon as you get strong though the tension is going to go away. So the genres won't necessarily mix well.

>>384052817

Speaking of Siren, there's been a nice little Half-Life 2 mod that takes the sight-jacking mechanic from it. I think it was called Flesh. Had fun playing it 5 or so years ago, though obviously it's not as good as the real deal.

I missed out on Silent Hill Origins, played it recently on an emulator. It's pretty good, some jarring game-play decisions but it's still Silent Hill unlike the newest games...

Evil Within is really good, and I played a bit of the DLC and that's good too, it's more horror survival rather than action which is the main game
>>
>>384053805
Literally only remake and revelations 2. 7 is okay.

not that anon, but play REmake and RE2.

REmake isnt even in my top 5 favorites, but I can easily say its about as perfect as a video game can ever get to this day in regards of real perfection.

Its pretty much flawless and amazing, both for casual and hardcore gamers.

It's a good action-adventure, but it's not fucking scary at all. It's extremely goofy. I mean, are you really scared of stereotypical zombies or a statue that comically turns its head?
It has a very nice plot, passable combat but it's just not spooky.

Soma was interesting to explore I think. RE7 also had decent level design, trying to go old-school.

Its absolute dogshit, and embarrassing for somebody who has railed far better games in the past. Yeah I get it he was young when he made it, but he is not a good game maker nor a particularly good storyteller. Just look at his recent books and games as proof of that.

Honestly horror games must have a pretty good story, characters or mystery for me to enjoy otherwise if it's just scares without too much substance I wouldn't even be able to play it.

It's funny how the newer Silent Hill games have retroactively made SH4 and Origins seem much better. I was very disappointed by both of them on release, but now I'd consider them both pretty damn good horror games. One day maybe I'll like Homecoming.

Am I the only one who hated the main game but really enjoyed the Assignment/Consequence DLC?

>>384065280
Resource management was absolutely ridiculous though, that alone stressed me out more than anything.

Amnesia The Dark Descent is still something that has yet to be successfully emulated, even by SOMA, which has the atmosphere down pat but, IMO, lacks terrifying monsters.

If only Amnesia's encounters were less scripted and more a la Alien Isolation, it would be the perfect horror game even now.

Allright lads. I currently have a PS4, a laptop that isn't made for gaming but can probably run some older games, and an old phat PS2.

What are must have horror games. I'm looking for atmospheric survival horror mostly. Not really interested in a lot of jump scares, rather horrific thoughts and imagery and atmosphere, and survival. Or some puzzles and mystery would also do it. Would prefer it if available on PS4. I don't really care about graphics but attention to art style is important.

Late reply. The best way is to emulate on PCSX2 and turn on "Switch to GSdx software rendering when an FMV plays" assuming the PC version has worse fog but a better flashlight compared to the PS2 version.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nna2yt1c9gI

Assuming you know how to set the best settings for your video plug-in, etc (really nothing else than video). Which is piss easy to start with.

Oh and, turn off the noise filter.

Mount the ISOs of 2 & 3, and then run their installers like always.
The SH1 is a PS1 rip that you gotta emulate.
The "sh2proxy" fix works as a no-cd crack as well, and is included in the pack.
If you use the NEW widescreen fixes mentioned in guide, the sh2proxy's EXE works as no-cd crack too.

In case you experience issues saving the game / not being able to edit the disp.ini, make sure the files aren't set to "Read Only", and run the game as Administrator.
If SH2 gets stuck in a black screen upon launch, close it and re-start it again.
You can now see fine emulator settings for SH1 in the guide. You may also try the newer PGXP emulator for wobble-free PS1 graphics.

Not a furry actually
Played the game back in the early alphas when it was first coming out and iirc it was strongly hinted that the "wolfman" is just a crazy guy wearing a wolf head that was on a trophy mount
When you add in the fact that the protagonists perceptions not being trustworthy was a big part of the game it makes sense that him seeming like an actual wolfman is just hallucinations
