I have. Not whole games, just big parts with a friend. And I know SH's gameplay.

Of course, it has lots of in-game scaryness, but you can't really do anything about that.
Like in SH2, where you fall down a whole and stupid scary bugs start to eat you or something...
And in SH3, the mirror room, that was FREAKY, but you can only watch it.

Most of the gameplay it killing ugly doggy beasts and drunken nurses.

then go play Super Mario Sunshine. This isn't a platform or action game where you can hop here or there and swing from things and play mini-games...it's a survival horror game, with the emphasis on horror. The protagonists are basically REAL PEOPLE, going through a real-life nightmare. What would you do in a situation like that? Do double-flips and tornado-kicks to some freaky 3-legged monster?

SH = atmosphere over anything else.

Haha. Indeed. If that's a horror experience you're looking for (I feel sorry for you), play Nightmare Creatures....

I don't know what made you type that. I'm just saying that the trailer can look creepy, but that most SH games don't 'play' quite that scary.

Not saying that it isn't scary....

:O correct equation would be SH = Atmosphere > everything else

^^^ that's what I meant

And what game PLAYS 'scared'???

I have no idea what you mean by that...

Canyarion · 02-14-2004, 06:50 PM

Hm well basicly no game does that.

(BTW I meant 'scary')
You never get to fight things that aren't some kind of zombie...

Have to admit that SH comes the closest though... but I'd like to see more vague stuff like running away form things... o_O

You've never played Fatal Frame. Now that's a scary game. It has ghosts. You don't fight them but you take pictures of them and capture them on film. That's not a game you want to be playing by yourself late at night.

I don't really find any games or movies scary...

Then only thing that scares me are those supposidly true ghost-esque stories they show on TV... Like documentary shows and stuff...

Ghosts in movies/games aren't very scary... Neither are zombies... So if you're gonna be fighting something, it might as well be some crazy disgusting mutated nasty bloody creatures like in Silent Hill
