Why does no horror game go balls to the wall batty anymore? The

The video game industry is very similar to the movie industry -- They both tend to follow the trends, because they want to recoup their investment. This is because these industries are by and large *for profit*, while even most of the indie folks are doing that very same thing. Most dev companies blow out a ridiculous budget for shiny trinket bullshit instead of having depth or soul to their games, so it appeals to the autists who want 4k res on their uber-leet pc. The closet game I can recall that's "horror'ish" and relatively new is The Binding of Isaac (And Rebirth/Afterbirth/etc). Even that is dampened down with a cartoony style to make it more palatable to a larger group of people, though. Basically the problem is everybody is trying to make a buck and horror weirdos just aren't a big enough demographic to warrant the development of a *real* horror game.

Dude i'm allready spooked when i play Destiny and i get to an area where its dark and have to use my flashlight...

The older games were scary as fuck because they were low resolution/graphics and your brain filled in the details itself. Like how the unseen monster inspires more fear than one on screen

I thought SOMA was pretty creepy

Check out Eternal Darkness on the Gamecube, you might like this. Easily my favorite horror game ever.

Also you were younger and more likely to use you imagination to fill in details and become immersed in the game.

Take any horror game and give it to a kid that was the same age as you playing silent hill. Theyll be shitting their pants

You're an adult, things arent as scary for you, especially since you've probably played lots of horror games. I don't play horror games, they make me uneasy, so I'm probably more likely to get scared by a modern game than you are

Or give trying to scare yourself a break for a little while. The brain and emotional system lose sensitivity to such stimuli eventually

SH2 was super comfy tho except 2-3 parts. In comparison I found SH4 much more unnerving but wtv, 2 is one of my favorite games.

I suggest you try the Siren series. It feels handcrafted and like a "spiritual creation" rather than those games that are centered around jumpscares. Like the aim of its creator wasn't to trigger reactions but to depict a dark universe.

SOMA, the game where you play as a pair of pants inhabited by ghosts.

Condemned criminal origins. Launch game for the 360 had a way of getting under my skin

The only part I remember of Destiny is the first mission... the one where there was actual creativity involved.

So why don't indie games make more real horror games? The niche market could even turn them a profit.

Like Halloween NES game? That game was pretty scary.

Never played it. All I know is that you cybersex an AI walkie talkie.

May I ask why it's so good?

So, I ask you; how do you make a horror game for adults?

So Amnesia is a bad game? I liked it
