Why can't the west into horror?

Because japs can't do horror in animation

Dead Space is genuinely scary, at least the first
Also the only scary Nip game there is Silent Hill

>>389398401
None of the games on either side are scary.

>want to buy Illbleed
>it's 70 bucks
jesus

>>389398520
Fatal Frame had its moments. I don't why illbleed is there. Wasn't scary and was clunky. I have a feeling OP only put it there due to his faggot nostalgia.

>>389398401
>>389398520
Yeah fuck you OP dead space 1 was great

Spooky is cute!
CUTE!

Japan:
>A pachinko game
>A game that has divided the fanbase as to whether it's good or not anymore.
>A Japanese exclusive
>A 2001 game

Western:
>Multi-million dollar franchise
>Internet boogeyman turned famous because of European screaming into the camera
>Okay, why post only Dead Space 3? You didn't post Resident Evil 6 or Silent Hill Homecoming for their reps. Otherwise, yes, it is unfortunately dead... space.
>I don't know what the fuck that is.

What's the point we're trying to make again?

Spooky looks like a qt

>>389398401
Penumbra and Amnesia are scarier than all of these

I believe the technical term is ''bait''. Here's an ancient scroll depicting an image of what it used to look like in medieval times.

Good horror games are largely just too expensive to makes nowadays.

Keiichiro Toyama (The creator of Silent Hill, Forbidden Siren and Gravty Rush) had this to say a few years ago, which is an interesting take on it.

>"I've worked on horror for a long time," he replied, "so whenever I work on something different, I can't help but come up with new horror-oriented ideas. So I'd like to make another horror game someday, but the thing is, unlike in the past, I think it's become kind of hard to make horror games. To some extent, horror is a good match for the 'B' genre, in terms of taking advantage of low budgets for the maximum return and maximum quality. However, we're now in an environment where B-grade titles are simply being priced out of the retail-software market. I think making a pure horror AAA console title is going to be really difficult going into the future. Instead, if I have a chance to make something like Journey that you can complete in two or three hours, but still offers an intense horror experience, I'd love to try that."

Spooky is pretty cute, though the way she became a ghost is a bit anti-climactic.

>>389398401
Ilbleed is not scary, I love the game to pieces but it is not a scary game.

>>389398401
You ever play Powerdrill massacre? You should play powerdrill Massacre.

>>389398401
Shatterd memories was really decent
darkwood while being an indie game with shitty perspective is very effective in that """"""ludo""""" apsect you """poeple""" like to throw around as it has any meaning beside sounding clever
prey, while not being silent hill levels was a step in the right direction
dead space is dope.
diablo, while technicaly not horror is actually horror through and trough underneath
stalker says high.

western horror is far from bad nor dead but its rare and far inbetween and with less focus on the narrative and is more about atmosphere. But i aggree most of the time they cant top what silent hill or forbidden siren or the older resis have accomplished if that is the actualy argument

>>389398401
You don't have to bait like this to prove the point. At least give the west their best games because even then their very best doesn't match up with Japan. It would have made your thread far more effective at proving the point.

because devs for some reason think that no combat = scary, when the opposite is actually true.

Because westerners can only think in terms of instant gratification as opposed to holistic constructivism.

Because the West is obsessed with either edgy horror or cute horror.

>>389398401
Spooky's House of jump scares is actually a good game considering that it's free

>>389401185
What quality horror has Japan released in the last decade? A fatal frame exclusive for the Wii? RE7? Drawing a blank.

>>389398401
I've never played a silent hill game before, but I recently started emulating the first one.

Is it better to keep the radio on or off in this game?

Resident evil hasn't been scary in twenty years, silent hill 4 was released 13 years ago, and fatal frame's last release was a crappy wii u exclusive.

What the fuck. Why did I do that? What a waste of time.

>>389398401
Spooky's House is actually scary though, especially in the mansion. Also you do know there's more obscure horror games that are better than the ones you listed on both sides? See>>389400915
Or the halloween parody by the same dev. Just look at horror actual LPers for good games

>>389399949
>I don't know what the fuck that is.
It's a parody game, thus proving the depths of OP's cherrypicking.

>>389400272
Spooky is made for lewd, right?

>>389400327

That's a huge ass, my god

>>389398401

Five Nights at Freddy's 1 and 2 were great games though

I really hope Fatal Frame has a future. It's the only half decent horror franchise left and you'd think it'd work well with the Switch's gimmick.

>>389398401
>top 2 jap horror games are heavily influenced by american movies
Frictional games who made Penumbra, Amnesia, and SOMA are swedish.

>>389408541
Overdose on mommys pills/get out dads shotty

Americans don't understand subtlety in horror.
They resort to cheap jumpscares or gratuitous violence/body horror over establishing atmosphere and letting the player create their own scares.

re 5/10 lotta stinkers in this series
fatal frame 7/10 dated but fun games
illbleed 2/10 game is a nightmare to play because of the awful game design but i really do love the setting

>>389409517
This. Got boring towards the end for me but the first 2/3rds were GOAT horror gameplay, even the boring end was incredibly well made
