Is Silent Hill 2 the scariest horror video game?

Pick one

Definitely in my opinion.

One of the few games that really got under my skin.

From the start when running through the woods and you could hear a chainsaw off in the distance.... the feels of uneaseyness set it and skyrocketed from there

the first Silent Hill was scarier IMO. I remember trying to play it the year it came out and I got to the alley where the camera angle goes all fucked and my heart rate went up and I got freaked out and turned it off. I went back to it later that year and powered through it, but FUCK was it horrifying.

SH3 is my fave though. It almost gave me tje same feeling as SH1.

It's Shadow of Chernobyl in my opinion

Nah. But older games with a lot of voids, deep sea abysses, and empty assets you're not supposed to be exploring are a bit eerie.

Oh yeah. And I've heard some spooky ass shit while playing on private test servers in Space Station 13.
Beepsky randomly opening doors never not makes me jump, and I could've sworn I heard clown shoes once or twice.

>>384639231
Silent Hill 2 is the least scariest of the first four games.

It is, however, the greatest game of all time.

>>384639231
Fatal Frame is scarier, in my opinion.

>>384639231
Isn't even the scariest game of the series, dude.

Definitely the most claustrophobically depressive, tho

it's the most atmospheric which leads to a scarier experience over time.

silent hill 3 is probably objectively the scariest but the pacing leaves you kind of numb to the scares after awhile

full one-sitting playthrough of silent hill 2 is scarier than silent hill 3

playing silent hill 3 with breaks(over the course of a week for example) is scarier than silent hill 2

The atmosphere's amazing and really got to me when I played it back in the day, but SH2 is one of those games I really wish I could forget.

Once you've been through a playthrough or two and know the distinction between ambient noises and noises that are actually something coming to kill you the fear factor definitely loses its initial sting.

>>384639942
I've not actually played Silent Hill 2. But I'm watching a video playthrough on YouTube. I chose from four different options available. None of them are very good, poor encoding, shit commentary, slow paced solving puzzles.

I don't know why but I had more fear with Origins and Shattered Memories than 2
Don't get me wrong, 2 is still the best in the series for me

The Remnant still give me chills and the Caliban is the biggest monster in the series I think

I think frustration over getting lost and fighting respawning ghosts hurt my experience with Fatal Frame in the long run, but when a jump scare hit, it really really hit.

>>384640181
Silent Hill 2 is not that scary compared to other Silent Hills, now I havent played the ones you mention but I consider Silent Hill 1 to be way more scary than the second one.

2 was more gloomy and sad than scary to me.

if by "hype" you mean anything like PT, then it definitely would not. Having a teaser like that digging your own grave, because people won't settle for a 60 dollar game with mostly the same environments and lots of backtracking. On the other hand, people would complain if it had more progressing levels because it'd be nothing like the demo.

Just look at RE7, same shit there.

>>384641691
no ito is a hack too

>>384639231
To me, any game where you can fully defend yourself and kill most enemies (even wonkily) stops being scary really fast. Silent Hill 2 is great for other reasons. I mean it does a great job of being scary for what it is, but that rule still applies to me. Something by Frictional Games is on a different planet from a game where your nightmares can be stomped out like a small dog, no matter how scary they might seem on the surface.

Oh shit vee, you get to design the next silent hill game! Through dark cult magic, you also get to choose what team will work on it! So what will be your:
>development team
>overall theme of the game
>weapons list

>>384641967
nah

>>384641967
>inb4 Fromsoft or Platinum

Maybe if we talk about psychological horror, but in terms of just being "scaAaAAaary", outlast 1 does a better job.

I'm not saying outlast is the best "scaAaAary" game btw, it's just an example.

>>384641967
Nintendo
I don't know. coprophagia.
no weapons. it's survival horror isn't it?

Amnesia TDD is legitimately the scariest game ever made.

>>384642228
Yep. It's simple. You can't really defend yourself. Your enemies are actually intimidating. You can play games like that for a long time without seeing behind the curtain. Something like Penumbra Black Plague or Amnesia is truly the scariest.

>>384641583
He's right, though.
I've never played a game that succeeded at being unsettling or scary. The best they can achieve is a jump scare when the volume is high

interactivity!

>>384642537
That's a lot better. Especially if the minor enemies don't have too much pretense of being scary by themselves, otherwise it's liable to just get funny. And/or make the minor enemies extremely difficult and have that as your baseline. Alien Isolation is the best I've seen with this kind of approach.

>>384641691

Probably of every horror game ever.

Still I found silent hill 3 scarier.

I have been a horror fan for almost 30 years now and silent hill 1 2 3 and 4 to some extent remain my favorite horror games.

Fatal frame is up there as well.

I love the resident evil surivival horror of the first generation games, dino crisis too. But those are not scary.

On the other hand you have western horror games but they are all shit.
To be fair they are fun to play but there is no tension or scare factor at all.

Of course i played it. it is not scary in the slightest but it was a fun haunted house theme park ride.

much better than the shit sequel machine for pigs.

I actually prefer the penumbra games to amnesia but it still does nothing to me in terms of horror.

To this day only early silent hills and fatal frames do anything to me. It was something about the survival horror formula that made things very tense. Fixed camera angles and limited saves. It was magic.
But you cant do that nowadays because modern gamers are babies.

Also I dont like the complete removal of combat. I like the idea of running and hiding but having a gun with 3 bullets that you keep holding on to for that enemy that absolutely corners you and you have no other option but to fight makes for very tense climaxes.

But you dont get that in moder horror games because if you die you respawn at a checkpoint 2 minutes ago, there is never the tension of losing 1 hour + of progress.

Never got around to playing that, only played Criminal Origins, but god damn I still remember playing that downstairs in the living-room on the big tv at like 2am

tl;dr NOPE

>>384643937
They are not. You are in a fictional situation, if you have no way to combat something there is no sense of tension. You have no ammo or strategy to worry about. There is no sense of urgency other than "Run". This is automatically less scary as I see it because the sense of threat simply isn't there.

>>384643912
>It was something about the survival horror formula that made things very tense
Games are scarier when you actually have something to lose. I think Resident Evil is actually one of the best examples of this, with limited saves dying can be so punishing you actually really learn to fear losing instead of seeing it as a minor annoyance like it modern games that have quick saves.
We need to go back to when save points were spaces far apart so there is an incentive to being careful, or even make it so you can lose items on death.

I love the early resident evil formula my man.

I think the system could be modernized a bit, it should have the feature to save anywhere if you have to stop playing for whatever reason as a means to respect the players time. BUT the save needs to auto delete as soon as it loads. If you die to an enemy you go back to the last manual save point which could be an hour ago.

It's the only way to "fear" something in my opinion, nothing in the game is real and can hurt you except by taking away your time.

I played both of those games and never found to be scared in the slightest honestly.

Stalker has a great atmosphere but there is never much at stake to provoke real tension in me.
I need higher stakes.

Also I think we might all be using the word fear and scare to refer to different things.

I never truly feel scared with anything that is not real, be it a game or movie there is no real threat to my life so I never get scared.
For me the best you can hope is a mix of being unsettled or weirded out and very tense feeling of impending loss of progress.
Only survival horror did that to me.

REmake is the best scary game imo. Plus the way it fucked with your expectations if you knew the original, plus crimson zombies. And it has the scariest sharks from any game, sharks horrify me.

SH2 is one of the greatest too, but every time the voice actors start their wooden performances the tension deflates. Also no sharks.

>>384650369
REmake is one of those special games were its actually scarier if you played the original before hand. Really really great game.

>>384649956
I bought the reboot solely because you can unlock the originals, they're awesome and hard as fuck

they have an odd almost dream like quality to them.

Also the final reading of the letter in the in water ending by mary is one of the best voice acted in the history of vidya.

>>384651960
PT is really creepy and I think it could have lead to something special but for me it's a limited experience that never goes beyond it's experimentation. It's not fair I know, but I do believe Silent Hills had the chance to be the scariest of the series, had Konami not been a bunch of wet blankets.

Please stop with this retarded "fixes" you are fucking up the game. Play ps2 it emulated with a good PC and that's it. Please don't install dumb ass patches that break the intended aspect ratio and kill the mood of the game.

This is fucking idiotic not every game is meant to look crystal clear with no filters, there is a reason for the black bars the cutscenes are framed around them. Please don't fuck up your experience with this masterpieces.

I remember that pyramid dude is your guilty conscience but what was other creatures comes from?

I find it's actually easier to get scared by video games than movies. I can't say I've ever really been scared by a movie, other than the occasional jump scare... which doesn't really count.

>>384661383
The only one that got me outside of SH is penumbra. Mainly because they knew what they were doing especially with black plague.

>>384661607
shit I keep forgetting about Black Plague, I do remember it having some pretty creepy stuff at times, although I remember jack shit from the story

>a way to defend yourself

and if it's open world then oh baby

the closest thing i can think of is blood siren but that's not on pc

I think 3 is the scariest, it has a subtle side to it but then the atmosphere turns into one of the most oppressive and panic inducing I've ever seen in game, best of both worlds

>>384661948
uh, stalker? It has that stuff but only some of the time

Relevant story. Lived right around the corner from a grocery store a few years back when it began snowing hard. I had my food and had to make it back on foot. NO cars around, decide to load up one of the songs from the original Silent Hill and walked through heavy falling snow, in the dark, with that music playing and my phone's light on. Ambulance turned its siren on a block over. For a second, I lived the game. Was very cool but Silent Hill, truly experienced, would have killed me in the first few minutes of wandering the town.

How is silent hill 4? Never played it but I'm a fan of the rest of the series.

>>384661719
They went for a Lovecraft-ian story. What you might remember is Clearance, the guy that takes control of your mind and was a good addition to the game.

>>384662082
I think it gets more shit than it deserves but it does have problems, I give it a pass because of some shit that happens in the 2nd half that I don't want to give away

>>384662206
Yeah i do remember him, was the story connected to the first game?

>>384662082
It's not as great as the first 3. Even annoying at times. But in the end it's still a good SH game. Just lower your expectations.

>>384662068
yeah that's the problem with stalker, it's a jack of all trades, master of none sort of game. it's also very archaic and honestly hasnt aged too well

>>384662082
The last decent SH. Play it.

>>384662341
Yep.

>>384662443
Well that makes since why I didn't understand shit, Should I play it?

>>384639668
ehhh FF can be played like any other survival horror
at least SH gets peppered with various off-gameplay moments here and there (perspective skews, missing audio cues, etc.) RE and FF do it, but usually just once per game.

>>384639668
I have on major problem with FF and that's the whole point system or whatever you call it, immersion shattering as a mothfucker

>>384639231
even the first one shit on it with the force of thousand sun.

>>384662726
You can give it a try. I still think it's a good game. Unfortunately it was one of the first games to do the "you can't fight for shit so hide in a corner while you wait for the enemy to pass" game,which while interesting at the time it's so overused now. Also never play the third one. It's Portal but shittier.

>>384639231
SH2 was my first PS2 game. I stopped playing after the first apartments, the atmosphere was scaring the shit out of me as a kid.

>>384639231
It arguably has a better story than most games, but SH1, 3, (arguably) 4, Fatal Frame, SIREN, and REmake are all more scary

>>384640635
Silent Hills would've been another game that would've missed the point and desecrate the series even more. The American games cheapened the monsters and meaning, Kojima's game would've cheapened the town itself since the title was obviously hinting at multiple dimensions.

>>384661948
Darkwood?

>>384639231
No.
Sh2 is the mildest of the original quadrilogy. SH1 wins it by a mile in horror and challenge.

Its fucking ridiculous that some wannabe purists like (You) have spawned, tryong to trick people to do PS2 emulation of all things.

If you dont like widescreen, play in 4:3.
PC ports as whole are almost as good, if not even better (sh3) than PS2 OGs.
Definately way, way better choice than the motherfucking ""HD"" Collection.

PS2 emulation isn't all that great, and some people might have shit computers, and the PC versions of 2-4 were well optimized, of course they'd choose the PC version.

>>384640141
Stop! Do not ruin these brilliant classics for yourself. Play them!

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 fix mentioned in the guide, you can use sh2proxy's .exe as crack.

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 into a black screen during launch, close the application and restart it again.

you can now see fine emulator settings for SH1 in the pic. You can also try the PGXP emu for wobble free PS1 graphics.

>>384639668

I dont like to compare them. Both great game series This only includes ps2 games and ofc SH1

I should really replay all of these

the fucking trailer of Silent Hill 4 haunts my nightmares even to this day

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

>>384671139
There aren't though.
In Silent Hill 1, the world is transitioning into the world of the Cult's God. Harry isn't entering another dimension, he going through the town's transition without being taken from one world and into another.
In Silent Hill 2, the town's spiritual power warps reality, and this continues in Silent Hill 3 where the demon fetus inside Heather is warping reality wherever she goes due to the intense emotions Heather is feeling.
And in Silent Hill 4, there is no alternate world, rather it is just a dreamscape created by Walter so he can kill his victims even after his suicide.
The newer games fucked everything up by making shit like Origins where Travis does enter another world by fucking around with mirrors. Don't know what they did in Homecoming and Downpour because I wasn't autistic enough to buy them

There is absolutely nothing, and I mean literally nothing wrong, with emulating the Silent Hill games. You get the games working straight away and they play and look better than if you go with the inferior pc versions.
No one mentioned HD collection either.

>>384639231
GTA San Andreas is far more scary.

>>384641967
>Development Teams
Silent Hill 2 Team

>Overall theme of the game
Affection & Relationships: Both possessive, obsessive, and the embodieent of lust, but overdoing it to the point that it become disgusting despite how normally sexualizing such parts would be fine.

>Weapons list
Knife, machete, bat, crowbar, mirror, revolver, semi-automatic pistol, pump shotgun, lever action shotgun, and assault rifle

The game would have a focus on stealth element along with horror, encounter with monsters would feel intense (Do you melee, sneak away, or use your firearm). Monsters from different parts of the game world would be able to stalk the player even into "saferooms" and following them could unlock goodies, but also lead into horrible traps.

Plot be about a man who cheated on his wife and is having his daughter taken away by his ex. So while trying to get away from everything and return to his hometown, he ends up passing through Silent Hill and gets stranded after his car battery dies. He meets a list of characters some having a worse relationship than him, other who want things back and horrors unfold as he is asked by a mysterious little girl to be part of her family.

FEAR and the sequel (not 3) were fucking scary as shit for me, everyone seems to hate Project Origins but i found it a worthy sucessor of 1, maybe because i played both of them in 3D but fuck both were almost "nope" tier in some moments.

They were alright for their time, and if you don't mind the repetitive gunplay it's pretty decent for one playthrough. There is however no replay value, and the jumpscares lose most of their impact pretty fast.
