The state of horror vidya

Evil Within is basically dead, since Microsoft and Bethesda aren't gonna do shit with it after the Tango Frameworks shitshow

most big name horror releases are remakes of older games that often fuck up what made those games special

The Suffering and its sequel were delisted off of GOG by WB

no aspiring game devs give enough of a shit about Condemned to hit up Jace Hall and make Condemned 3

RE8 is about as scary as Doom 3

some of the most revered horror movie franchises only ever get asymmetrical multiplayer slop (Predator, Friday the 13th, Evil Dead, etc.)

lust-provoking image

Blackpilled bitching aside, I'm playing Evil Within for Halloween. You lot?

I don't have anything to play. TeW was a really fun game, i didn't expect to have such a good time with it, especially since everyone threw shit at it. Best 4 euros i've ever spent. Resident evil 5 has such shit controls, I never got past the prologue

corpse party II delayed to 2025

partysisters, is there still hope?

I just started with red dead after some hitman 3 halloweenie levels, after that is undead nightmare

New Urbanspook video came out today, it's the penultimate tape. Those fucking screams man.

It's alright if you don't mind some blatant fetish material mixed with your horror.
Personally I enjoyed Abbadon Princess of Decay more, though it is much shorter.

corpse party blood covered (repeated fear (psp (3ds (2021))) is pretty good, lots of rpm maker horror games were inspired by it
it has some direct sequels, but the only one worth bothering with is book of shadows and even then it's a pretty big step down from blood covered
i have some faith in II since the writer is genuinely good at characters and horror, if given enough time to write the story properly

blatant fetish material mixed with your horror

That can really make or break the fear factor of a horror game for me. Lady Dimitrescu's menace was completely defanged by the avalanche of hentai before the game even came out. RE8 was unironically less frightening to me than Doom 3, by the way.

I will be fapping to Sadako tonight

fapping to Sadako smut instead of playing horror games and/or watching horror films

Get truly festive, you coward.

But I've been playing horror games every other day since the start of October, and haven't nutted in awhile like 3 months

it's more of a situational thing in corpse party
one character spends an absurd amount of the game needing to piss and is unwilling to do so outside of a functioning restroom
it's more so to move the plot along, but it's admittedly pretty silly
another character constantly hits on another one, but that's more so for early jokes and they stop when shit gets serious

Based. Which horror games you been playing?

based

Played a bunch of old shitty VR tech demos, currently blasting through some classic RPGMaker games for fun.
At least it's fun with another person.

1621391203397.png - 1235x1084, 2.31M

Bold of you to assume that you'd be the one doing the raping...

*Cries in FEAR 2*

Didn't play much of it, only really tried out Chris and Jill

Thanks! I'm thinking about finishing The Suffering and Manhunt after I'm done with EW1.

piss fetish

Pre-emptively dropped, if that's a sampler of that game's horror. Lady Dimitrescu being a vampiric spin on Hachishaku-sama (without the child predator shit) is one thing, but fuck that in particular.

nah the piss isn't the horror, just a plot device
most of the horror is graphic descriptions of corpses, people getting murdered, and gradual sanity loss

What does sex with Sadako feel like?

Think I'm going to start up the Clock Tower remaster tonight.

Evil Within is basically dead, since Microsoft and Bethesda aren't gonna do shit with it after the Tango Frameworks shitshow

I thought all their IPs got bought by whoever grabbed Tango? That's why there were talks of Hi-Fi Rush continuing and why the LRG releases are still going forward despite the sale.

The Suffering and its sequel were delisted off of GOG by WB

Shame. Cryostasis is another one that needs to come back to GOG. These rights issues suck so much. Obviously you can just get the installers but still.

remaster

Dude, just set up a Super Famicom emulator and run a Clock Tower rom.

Based. Evil Within is underrated. But man, take a moist dish cloth and wipe your keyboard, screen, and table. Takes just a couple of minutes. Use air in a can to spray on your keyboard. Tip your keyboard upside down.

Cool. Better be Akumu mode.
Me? I am playing the OG RE4 Knockoff Cold Fear on PS2.
Its clearly inferior but fun.

I would assume it would feel like sex with a wet, unfathomably angry Japanese woman in her early twenties.

SadakoEye.jpg - 250x187, 8.84K

It's not Akumu mode because I'm not really a masochist. Just got to the Mansion level where Ruvik can one-shot roflstomp you.

N-NO LEAVE ME ALONE! DONT RAPE ME AIIIIIIE!!!

Alma stalker.jpg - 640x359, 122.46K

I can work with this.

because I'm not really a masochist

It's really not as bad as it seems. You just match everything at the start (The hay bale can insta-kill so just aggro everything, light it on fire, and watch them walk into it), sneak around and abuse checkpoints in chapter 3, and then you're essentially free until the wave defense room (Just upgrade the blinding arrows so you can takedown anyone who is blind) and the skyscraper mining chapter after that.

SADAKO
SEXO

One already exists.

Its not so bad really. Only have some serious difficulty spikes.
Anyways max the harpoon. Last upgrade allows you to one shot enemies with it.

You want a real Spook in a game, how about a game that makes your body react in a way that you don't want it to? Get a good sound card for this one and some headphones

Prepare to have your eyes water, your ears ring, your stomach churn, and your jaw to feel numb. I present to you: MANIC MINER.

don't know what you're talking about.
that hall of the mountain king rendition is bopping.

Considering her unyielding rage about being left to die in a well, I'd probably give Sadako plenty of hair strokes and kisses in such a situation.

I would assume it would feel like sex with a wet...Japanese woman in her early twenties.

Never going to forget my first time seeing that scene being able to turn my head 360 like an owl, pussy so good had my head spinning like a warner bros cartoon

NO SADAKO DONT SIT ON MY FACE AAAAAIIIIIIIEEEEE

BUUUUOHHH

I'll give Akumu some thought. Have fun with Cold Fear, by the way!

holy shit I recognise that room
best animations ever

F.E.A.R. 3 should have been a Logan-esque tale of Alma and Michael running off together, raising their kid and reconnecting with Point Man. Instead, we got a sequel more mean-spirited than Extraction Point.

Horror is a niche genre and one that's hard to do well.

Indies will be the ones to innovate and save the genre.

the only reason people remember the FEAR sequels is because of rape

Hilarious.

Same!
Also playing Forbidden Siren games.
Spooky af shit.

kinda hard to forget a game when a ghost girl first person rapes you by riding your dick when you're restrained in a chair

Forbidden Siren

I love how they had American and Japanese voice actors butcher each other's languages in those games.

If anything, I'm pissed that we got Project Origin and FEAR 3 instead of the initially planned anthology of various F.E.A.R. dealing with supernatural threats across the world. John Carpenter being a writer for the third game is beautifully ironic, considering how Halloween was also meant to be an anthology of horror films set on Halloween.

Horror is a niche genre

nice b8

I thought all their IPs got bought by whoever grabbed Tango?

unfortunately no, only hi-fi rush

Onryƍ nature notwithstanding, that's what Sadako physically is. The trick would be making her feel loved, wanted and cared for if she was having sex with you.

when you kill Ryuji epic style

FEAR 2's combat was so limp compared to the first game. With the better budget given to the devs by WB, it's insane how they fucked it up that bad.

let's keep this thread alive until midnight

Duly noted. I have heard that Evil Within 2 is far superior and even more underrated, considering it lives in the bad taste that EW1 left in everyone's mouths.

horror thread

post resident evil

c'mon now

Resident Evil hasn't been consistently legitimately scary since RE3 25 years ago. No, the Regenerators in RE4 do not count because that's one moment in a third-person shooter that's littered quick time events and liberally gives you ammo.

incel phone

I have heard that Evil Within 2 is far superior and even more underrated

It is not far superior in any way.

The Lost have worse designs than the Haunted and only The Lament, Obscura, and The Guardian look interesting in any way with some people also liking Anima.

Outside of the rare Stefano museum trips everything is generic suburbs, pure white underground areas that are reminiscent of a hospital or business room, and innawoods campgrounds until the last third of the game. The first half of that last third sucks so much ass while the second half is actually good.

Barely does the weird TEW1-esque visuals or weirdness, it constantly feels way too straightforward with the occasional Anima or Stefano moment, and once you get past the half way point it tries to be weird but fails so hard until literally right on the home stretch.

Everything is a damage sponge even with upgrades and the further in the game you get the spongier they get which is why they want you to backstab them constantly.

Since the enemy AI is extremely dumb you can run into a bush in their line of sight and they have no idea where you went, and later on you get an upgrade that lets you kill them around corners meaning you can get seen, run around a corner, crouch, and stealth kill them.

No matches.

Crossbow feels weaker and worse than the original with bolts that don't feel as powerful.

The general rule of thumb is if you dislike TEW1 you'll like TEW2, but if you like TEW1 then TEW2 will just be okay or you'll dislike it. I find it "okay" at best.

No other game has accomplished that feeling of "what the fuck is going on?" like Forbidden Siren did for me. And it's not like the game doesn't make sense. It's a feeling that you know all the weird things like legends of mermaids, local religion, UFOs, and crazy people in a pocket dimension somehow all fit together, but you have no idea how.
Like in most horror you at least have the comfort of knowing the general "rules" of the scenario. Kill the zombies, find the root of the ghost's grudge, run away from immortal monster, etc. Even in Silent Hill you can at least pick up the "rule" that you should kill monsters and follow the trail of clues. But in Forbidden Siren pretty much everything you do is either trying to survive or stumbling on a clue that makes things stranger instead of clearer.

Play DreadOut

I still remember the playthrough TeamFourStar did for this game. Should I pick it up if it's on sale?

Outside of the rare Stefano museum trips everything is generic suburbs, pure white underground areas that are reminiscent of a hospital or business room, and innawoods campgrounds until the last third of the game.

This part I actually kind of liked. I wish more horror games let you explore normal areas that have become fucked up due to some horror, instead of going from one setpiece to the next. I guess it could be explained that the blandness is because the simulation is run by a corporation instead of a serial killer neurosurgeon this time, but that alone doesn't excuse bland environments.

Problem is that this is The Evil Within, so having those weird setpieces and locations was an expectation you go into it with. Ghostwire even managed to have more weird TEW-esque segments than TEW2 did, especially after the post-patch area came out.

Weird, because of the balls. Plus the trauma she has and all. And she might kill you with her ESP.
The PSX version is better, is it not?

I wish we had a horror game for phones that played like the 3DS' Fatal Frame. I think it'd be cool, and the gameplay with modern AR has a lot of potential.
Hell even maybe a Pokemon GO-like, where you go hunt ghosts and clear certain zones.
It would probably only work in Japan, because imagine going outside with your phone out like that, you'd be asking to be mugged

Weird, because of the balls.

Novel continuity or not, I legitimately believe that Sadako (in a situation where she wants to fuck you instead of kill you) could legitimately be tamed by less carnal stuff like kissing, hair-stroking and cuddling from a guy who genuinely wants to be by her side.

Sadako_TV.jpg - 250x134, 5.1K

bro, i think this supernatural, murderous being that has balls can be subdued by wittle kisses on the forehead

"in a situation where she (Sadako) wants to fuck you instead of kill you"

Lore-accurate Sadako would just kill you on the seventh day there and then, hence the hypothetical situation I posed.

Living Sadako, yes 100%.
But Curse Sadako, I'm not so sure. Is she even a real being? She could just be a visual representation of the curse effects (I've only seen Kanzenban, Ringu and Rasen (Downloaded Ringu 2 and 0 yesterday)).

Ghostwire

Did Tango win that in their divorce from Bethesda and Microsoft?

Too bad the model is shite.

A horror game about claustrophobia.

Horror about real-world stuff is always the most effective, which is probably why stuff like the SKX fight and the Rabid Bear chase from the Condemned games worked. Unlike all the fantastical Oro Invictus bullshit, SKX is just a guy and there's something primally scary about a first-person bear (with rabies) mauling in a video game.

It's about abortion, and it's not subtle.

that VN

The most unforgettable horror porn game I've ever played. No other game had a bunch of elementary schoolers gangbang a teenage girl against a wall. And the teenage girl loved it. No other game I've played had a 17 year old bishonen guy drink a 14 year old girl's piss and chase her down the hall to rape her, only to wind up getting anally raped by a 32 year old fat man. I still remember the scene where a 16-17 girl was hiding under a bed as her same age best friend was having sex with that same 32 year old fat guy on top. She heard every moan, bed shake and sound. In the wrong end she was discovered under the bed by her friend and made to join. A most terrifying scene was when an unwilling girl relives another girl's sex memories. The girl in the memory consented but the reliving girl didn't. It didn't matter that she was mentally screaming, her body in the memory did all the motions and actions as in history. It's like mind control rape except the victim was fully aware. Another scene the same girl and a friend were almost raped in a magic sex ritual, saved by the girl's older sister, and the backlash made the older sister want to rape her younger sister and friend.

The loli in this pic is freakishly lewd and once disguised herself as a teenage girl, fucked a boy until he nearly came, transformed back saying

You thought you were having sex with a highschooler weren't you? I'm an elementary schooler all along!

And leglocks that boy, forcing him to cum inside her unprotected, when he screams in fear upon learning this. This isn't even getting into the tentacles, the gay sex, the lesbian sex, the incest, the sequel's mother/daughter lesbian scene, etc. The first chapter alone contains lots of lesbian sex scenes with an unavoidable girl masturbating in the bathroom. Truly horror is intrinsically connected with sexuality.

Claustrophobia and pregnancy horror? Consider me interested.

Need a horror game where you have to fend off/avoid a japanese ghost lady until you can propose to her and make her your loving wife
Who will kill you if you look at another woman

Have sex with onryo women.

If only

Wtf I've seen this exact post before

love onryƍ women and heal their pain

Will they stop existing if you make them happy and loved?

But onryo women can't get pregnant.

Have you tried?
Maybe your seed is just too weak

Yes, but good luck making them happy. It's already hard to make normal women happy hahahaha.

replaying FEAR

get pretty far

have to do a system restore to a restore point from 3-4 days ago because driver updates fucked something up

lost my FEAR progress

scary stuff...

This is really missing some of the best parts. I came buckets when one of the girl’s was fucked in a pool and the chad kid who liked her was forced to watch. The ending cg with the shot of the girl’s limp legs had me in diamonds. I also love the fact that all the tomboys have big boobs. And the scene where the main boy gets a double blowjob from his tomboy childhood friend and younger sister was great. The OVA had nice original scenes too. Once that chad kid was holding back a door when the ugly middle aged fatty used his tick to break through the door, aiming his dick right at chad kid's anus and lifted him into the air with his long dick. But we can't forget the double blowjob the main boy gets from his tomboy childhood friend and his little sister. Why do you keep on forgetting files.catbox.moe/8wpfo0.jpg?

I liked alan wake 2's jumpscares. There i said it.

If it didn't have that mission system possibly locking you into a loop, I wouldn't have dropped it all back a decade ago.
But this time I am going to finish these fuckers.

just finished Fear and the first expansion today and had a lot fun!
:)

Does Baldi's Basics Plus count?

or

you get an angry Japanese ghost girlfriend who's only nice to you

The problem is it's too easy to accidentally complete the wrong objective and break the intended loop. Like "escape" vs "defeat all shibito then escape". I like the general idea of a mission select and cutscene selector combined and showing multiple parallel character timelines. Just the missions themselves can be really rough to complete.

My autism has severe problems with j-horror ghosts. A woman dies super hard which makes her come back as an unstoppable wraith that kills everybody, and this has somehow not happened before?

eh?

You have to do Akumu just for the bantz. If you don't take it super seriously it's honestly pretty funny.

having spent a lot my life in autism/special education programs in school, Leslie is the most accurate depiction of a sped I've seen

, and this has somehow not happened before

Of course it happened before, it is just not relevant to the current ghost haunting our protagonists. This is like saying that a movie about a psycho trying to stab you makes no sense because people have been stabbed to psychos before.

Seb's "what the fuck?" when Leslie spergs out at the start of the game keks me every time.

You gonna play Condemned 2 after you beat it?

Shame about the sequel, this series had a lot of potential

yes they can that's where we get vtubers

Shame about the sequel

It's still pretty good. The only legitimately awful Monolith sequel is Blood 2.

RE was never scary.

This game sucks dick

I see. Well guess will play with a guide after I finish the first loop on my own.

I don't think so, unless there's a pc version that I'm not aware of, i'll wait till I havea pc that can emulate 360 games without any problems.
So far I've enjoy it, I'm on the part after beating that mall with the mannequin people.

Talking of him anons should play Terrordrome as Ash.
Beat the spooks with some badass one liners.

Played REmake/2/3, RE7/8 and Alisa since the start of October and currently playing REmake4 for the first time. I have a bunch of emulated games kike Dino Crisis, Haunting Grounds etc ready if I feel like it.

*like

Reminder that there is a Team Fortress 2 horror movie that is made in SFM that is surprisingly a fun watch.

horror movie

fun watch

Going into a horror movie, only for it to be revealed as an insincere "fun" film is infuriating.

That's pretty cool. I didn't really feel like horror games in a long time, but if there was ever something like Fear again I'd be up for it.

freehugs.png - 576x704, 637.66K

IIRC the Korean company that grabbed them had to do so hastily, and was only able to secure the IP for Hi-Fi Rush.
I wouldn't rule out the possibility of them going back and buying their other IPs, Evil Within at least, but it's not a certainty.

lots of people watch horror movies because theyre fun bruh. just look at the entire slasher genre.
you can also balance humor and horror like pic rel or evil dead II. bit difficult tho.

i had fun watching Exorcist III last week even if i was tense the entire time

She doesn't have actual balls on the outside. Her hermaphrodite variant is that she produces sperm internally but everything else is female on the outside. It's a big plot point and why she wants to reincarnate through a human girl because she can't give birth herself due to only having sperm over eggs.

Nigger, you're not 8 years old. A movie can't genuinely scare you, unless you're retarded or a woman.

myers.jpg - 1234x1434, 118.11K

OP here.

Evil Within got too frustrating for me, so Dead Space it is. Did you guys like the remake?
Make us whole again, Anon.

Sprunki is pretty good

I'd still make out with Sadako and treat her like a queen.

Why is it that her peers call her a freak when they see her naked then? I know that that condition in real life is internal. But I do have the recollection that she had something freaky, such as balls and a vagina because in Japan Futanari would be seen as hot.

people loved RE7 and RE2 remake for bringing back the series horror roots

only for 3make and RE8 to snuff it out again because vampire femdom

Capcom... I kneel...

This is a pretty horrifying concept but a really fun movie too. It also has my nigger Chakotay nailing some high school akoocheemoya.

Daddy would've gotten us Uzis.

comet.jpg - 960x1440, 524K

I fear for RE9
I'll have some faith if I see the OG Leon and Jill. But if they go with their Nu- counterparts, then the series is practically dead to me.
I also don't think Capcom will learn from their mistakes with ReRE3, RE8, ReRE4.

Remake eclipses the old for me
Better Zero g controls, better gunplay, better mobility throughout the ishimura, side quests add lore, extra ending is fun, performance and graphics are perfect
I kind of wish I could erase the game from my memory from back when I first played it so the remake was my first exposure because that was a fucking trip the first time around

"Modern" horror games are fucking trash because in most cases they are nothing more than shitty walking sims or low effort fnaf clone, with occasional jumpscares that end with game over without keeping any decent thrilling environment. And of course everyone since fnaf decided that "What if some fictional toy/mascot/tv show/place for kids is evil" will be plot of their horror games. And of course you have to run away from monsters and crap.

Old horror games were better because they were actually games, their horror thing came from really disturbing/scary environment you had to go through, you had to be on guard and be prepared to fend of monsters.

From modern horrors IMO the only good thing that was recently released is Faith trilogy. Basically it has everything that good horror should have and its theme are christian exorcist which wasn't used much often in vidya

Is darkwood good? I picked up the ps5 version for $5 but I’m hesitant to play it because the top down perspective makes it look like some low budget rpg maker game
Though I also hated hotline Miami’s look until I came around to it

Faith

the visual style of this one filters me desu, but the premise sounds very intriguing and unprecedented for vidya
might give it a try after im done with my RE, SH, and Dead Space playthroughs

Gonna be playing this one.
Been like nearly 15 years since I played it.
Wonder if I can use a controller.
Happy Halloween.

I downloaded it not too long ago, here's hoping it'll actually live up to its name.

You guys watch the new UrbanSpook?

didn't know there was one. thx for the heads up bruv!

Yeah, I tried to talk about it at the start of the thread.

they actually got the killers

it was not some supernatural shit and one of them died to a gunshot

the next tape is last

Pleasantly surprised.

new Anon Babble might fall for this shit

I'm enjoying playing Sadako in DBD. I don't know why anyone is saying she is a weak killer when I think she's at least low A tier?

Because you're playing against Neanderthals. She falls off if people know how to counter her.

that pencil thin wrist

receding hairline

neckbeard

yep, it's gamer time

I still think she's a strong killer with her map mobility and slowdowns with her condemn.

Because at the higher tiers people know how to counter with holding tapes, putting tapes away, and Condemned stacking is much harder to do especially after the nerfs. She's like Amanda in that you can massacre people at lower tiers but on the higher tiers she falls off. Higher tier killers ignore pallets or destroy them instantly, have a gimmick around pallets, can teleport instantly and without a tell, or can dash somehow.

Demakes

Not even once

Just finished replaying the first three Silent Hill games which was really fun. Now I'm genuinely looking forward to the SH2 Remake to see what the hype is all about.

3>2>1 imo, but only because I love Heather as a protagonist and it has the best mechanics and gameplay. I just wish Team Silent had more time to work on the story.

1 that low

The remake is definitely for you

that low

Listen I love all three so it's not like I'm putting it in a shitty category or something. It's just, if you asked me which game I'd want to replay on any given day, that's the order I'd pick them in.

The funny part is that Sadako was CANONICALLY rape corrected by a rape chad who escaped her death curse by defeating her with his penis and making her his sex slave.

You can tell they ran out of dev time with the rushed ending, but the atmosphere is very good still. Good taste

Playing fatal frame 4, don't know how to feel about the camera and running speed, but the game looks good.

1728552597944.jpg - 2000x1400, 378.4K

Just played through the whole hospital section of SH2R. Game is great and I'm glad I don't listen to Anon Babble.

There's a Heather mod for SH2R already.

Yeh.
Skin mask guy being the policman kidnaped in tape 2 caught me off guard.
Also that last girl lossing both sigh and hearing, but being still alive is fucked up

Had no idea the sequel got a 360 release, was convinced it was a ps3 exclusive for whatever reason

That tongue can reach my prostate

right out of Gears

You absolute fucking philisitines. You know what Resident Evil 5 actually is? The final evolution of co-op horror arcade light gun games, properly adapted into the 7th generation as a home console off-rails retail campaign. Moments like the turret section is just when it wears its heritage much more blatantly on its sleeve.

Based. Dreadout is great, love the soundtrack and atmosphere even if there's only like 3 scary ghosts in the entire series. I absolutely love how they weave the supernatural in as if it's just a natural part of the world, and the ending is a super satisfying progression gameplay wise too. FUCK Snakes and FUCK teachers

cute ghost.jpg - 1536x864, 149.32K

nigger you dont need to play any horror games you already live in a haunted house

I'll probably replay Dead Space 2. Don't really feel like replaying 1 and 3 is only passable with a friend and we already finished it twice.

Sadako can ignore pallets and get around pallets too.

wOoOoOoOoAaAaHhHh haha im SOOOO SCARED eheheh gotta be careful who i have HOT FUCKY SLOPPY CANOODLING SEEEEXXX with teehee or i might get FLIPPIN SPOOKED!
