Weird Games days 1-4 Weird Games days 5-8 Let's look at some more contemporary (but still weird) horror. 9. Shadows of the Damned https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McKgiNhY_sA A joint production between the master of weird Goichi Suda and Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami, Shadows of the Damned was left in the shadows by Electronic Arts' tepid marketing. It's a mistake to skip out on this one as it's everything I wanted RE5 and RE6 to be. Taking the familiar over-the-shoulder action view, your weapon is a transforming skull gun (slash motorcycle) that can transform into various accessories as you collect them. Shadows play a role with some enemies being wreathed in darkness that must be dispelled and completely dark areas where your only hope is to light the area long enough to find the goat head that dispels it. Being a Shinji Mikami game you can expect crazy bosses and Suda throws his hand in with surreal sequences involving turning the game into a vertical SHMUP shooting and of course his fetish for wrestling. Being a Suda game the plot is lascivious and sexually charged which can come off creepy but it also serves the plot in a good way. You play Garcia Hotspur, a testosterone charged demon slayer whose girlfriend Paula is kidnapped by Fleming, the Lord of Demons. It sets up as a "get the girl" story but takes a twisted turn as Fleming constantly murders her before you. You're constantly chasing a princess that's always out of your reach and there's some legitimate disturbing scenes. While the payoff in the end isn't the kind of commentary I expected out of the plot it's still a wild ride all the way through. 10. Catherine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLEBzLf6RY8 When Catherine was announced nobody really knew what to make of it. Years after its release I still don't know what to make of it. At its heart is a puzzle game where you climb a tower of shifting blocks. But like Persona 3 and 4 it's framed around a social meta-game that's arguably its greatest strength. At its simplest, Catherine is about a curse that targets men forcing them to climb for their lives in a hellish nightmare every night. After every night you speak with your friends in a bar, interact with the various customers who all have their own issues, and get funny beer trivia by getting wasted. Catherine isn't a traditional horror game but it's still strongly horror themed. Death constantly looms behind you, sometimes literally as nightmares are ended with a boss representing a grotesque inhibition. But at the heart of the deadly curse is a fear of commitment. As reality twists around protagonist Vincent he becomes increasingly more paranoid and you, the player, begin questioning whether the events are truly real or not. My favorite feature is how so many of the social aspects ultimately tie into the plot itself. The story itself is framed in a Twilight Zone manner and there's an in-world arcade game, both of these elements tying into a greater meta-plot. If you haven't played Catherine, at least check the demo out. It's a unique game that shouldn't be missed. 11. Eldritch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBHpEuKxYcA I don't know where the procedural generated, roguelike-like explosion came from. Maybe Minecraft? I would argue that Minecraft's survival mode has a lot more in common with "survival horror" than most games carrying the moniker. Either way, Eldritch is one of those games whose appearance immediately comes off as cheap and copycat-ish but you'd be mistaken to write it off. Based on the Cthulhu Mythos, Eldritch is a first person stealth roguelike. Emphasis on the stealth. This is not an action game. Enemies respawn elsewhere when killed, some can't be killed at all, equipment is at a premium, and being spotted usually means you're going to get a tentacle or fireball to the face. The sound design is fantastic and you need to play this game with a good sound setup or headphones to get the most out of it. Enemies all make audio cues and it's not uncommon for something to sneak up and whisper behind you. It's relatively simple with only a few weapons and enemy types but its strength is in that simplicity. The first dungeon can be over in 10 minutes but after that the game gets haaaaard. The second dungeon starts throwing tricky enemies your way like a statue that instantly teleport to attack you when your back is turned and immortal mummies that follow you throughout the floor you're on. If you want a truly unique survival horror give Eldritch a try. 12. Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZjk9zgKF4A Stubbs was a late Xbox release and carried a pedigree with it long before its released. Developed by one of the founders of Bungie and "Built with the HALO engine," Stubbs was hyped up and promptly forgotten. Which is a shame. Stubbs isn't a good game but it's certainly one of the more interesting in the Xbox's library. Reversing the normal roles, you play as the zombie who amasses an army of followers by eating their brains. Each level is basically an action puzzle where you consume as many brains as possible to send your army against increasingly well armed enemies. Stubbs can use his hand to sneak around and convert hard to reach enemies or launch his head like an explosive bowling ball. The game also features some great covers of classic songs like Mr. Sandman and Earth Angel. As far as I know the only way to play the game is by buying a physical copy. It might be backwards compatible with the Xbox360 but Microsoft removed it from their store for whatever reason. Apparently it was available on Steam at one point as well but I couldn't tell you how well the PC version runs.

Stubbs is great but feels super unpolished. It was also fatally buggy for me... I got stuck just after the dance-off against the general, and couldn't progress. Otherwise I probably would have finished it. As rough as it is, it's very unique. I'm going to hit on Eldrich too, I think it's a very interesting game with some very significant flaws. I haven't played it in a few patches either, so I want to see all the neat new stuff that was added.

All you folks playing horror games and such, I recommend Realms of the Haunting, an old story-heavy horror FPS for the PC. I won a copy of it at a simple university course I was taking during middle school, and it scared the poo poo out of my back then. Not so much anymore, but it's not terrible from what I remember (but it has been a long time). Get the Director's Cut if you can, it comes with extra cutscenes or something.

If you like the idea of being on the "other" side of the zombie invasion I can recommend Zombie Dawn. It's a topdown strategy game, where you control zombies and make them eat/convert all the people in each level. Later you get superpowers so you can make explosive zombies or screaming zombies that stops running people. It's a pretty good, if short game. It's not very scary though. You can play it for free without a Runescape/Jagex account, pick "just play" twice if you don't care about saving your progress. http://mggameserver4.funorb.com/g=zombiedawn/game.ws?js=1

Has that issue been fixed where Stubbs absolutely will not install on any system that's Windows 7 64-bit or newer? I can't remember if it was a 64 bit issue or a Windows 7 issue, but the game never installed for me and I looked it up and apparently it just will not work with newer Windows OSes. It was the only reason I got rid of my game discs.

I was curious and looked it up, and from what I gleaned from the Steam forums from last year it will run on Windows 7 64 bit with the Steam version (assuming you bought it in time), but it may have issues with certain ATI cards. The big hurdle seems to be just getting it to install at all.

It seems that Gog is giving away AvP2000 for free if you sign up to test their multiplayer service thingy (by playing AvP2000) Speaking of aliens, Alien: Isolation is the first legit scary game I've experienced in years. Haven't freaked out this hard in a long while. Kinda impressive how they achieve it purely through clever gameplay design, considering how stale the monster and the setting are in TYOOL.

It's ugly as sin and it's clunky as gently caress, but if you can get past it it's a neat horror FPS.

Normally you have to watch out for corners or shadows but this may be the first game where the enemy can and will attack you from the ceiling. Humans have no danger from the sky and I'm surprised more games haven't taken advantage of our natural blind spot.

Probably because it's a blind spot in our thinking as well. Nobody expects danger from above, so people designing danger don't even think of putting it there.

For people looking for a really goddamn scary game for free, Aliens vs Predator Classic is free on GOG right now. The Marine campaign is ridiculously tense, especially on higher difficulties where the lightning-fast Aliens can really tear you a new rear end in a top hat. Oh and the Alien spawns are random, both in number and location, so the game is still loving scary even on replays.

One thing I really like about the screenshots I'm seeing is that it's actually using darkness, and not just "muddied shades of dark purple/brown/grey and where the hell is that light coming from". Too many games (and cinema for that matter) just don't use shadow anymore. al-azad posted:When Catherine was announced nobody really knew what to make of it.

I hope that comes next.

I didn't get to play any spoooooooooky games last night on account of spending 3 hours at a pumpkin patch with a gaggle of 2-year-olds. However, it's a slow day at work and there are some terribly Halloweeny games that I'm not going to get around to playing. So let's do a... The A. Painkiller: Black Edition    This right here is about the Halloweeniest shooter you're going to get this side of KISS Psycho Circus. It's a Serious Sam-style FPS with the look and feel of Quake, except with more colors and cooler weapons. The levels are super varied and interesting, sending you through an opera house, a hellish version of Venice, a snowy mountaintop outpost, and one of the coolest renditions of actual hell ever. You also get demon superpowers and collectable Tarot cards that give you new abilities. The monsters are crazy and the shooting is amazing. Oh, and the story is hilariously dumb but neat because it changes depending on the difficulty you play on. Black Edition also comes with the expansion, Battle out of Hell, which has more interesting levels but isn't quite as fun as the original. Pick this up if you don't have it... and forget anything else with the Painkiller name exists. Seriously. B. The Void    If you want something unique, atmospheric, and creepy, this should be right up your alley. The Void casts you as a lost soul lost in limbo, struggling to avoid final death. To do that you must grow color, the lifeblood of the world beyond. It plays like a first-person adventure game, with some exploration and combat, but much of the emphasis is on tending your gardens of color and dealing with the odd denizens of the void. It's the NPCs that make this game, because they are both very unique characters and VERY creepy presences. This is not a game where you follow quest markers and fill up a bar to win the game. Everyone in the void has an agenda and wants you to help them, sometimes to your mutual benefit, oftentimes not. You won't get a good ending the first time you play (unless you cheat and use a walkthru), but that's part of the allure, unraveling the mystery and deceptions. Definitely set aside some time for this one. C. Shadowgrounds    I'm going to hit on the sequel, Shadowgrounds: Survivor, later on in my roundup (spoiler: it's not as good) but I can't let this little gem go unmentioned. Shadowgrounds is an isometric action shooter that has you as a hapless maintenance man on a colony world where things go completely to hell. It's you versus hordes of aliens as you try to fight your way off-world through darkened bases and crashed ships. The atmosphere definitely borrows from both Alien and DOOM in places, with quiet spells and sudden ambushes punctuated by frantic shootouts with horrible monsters. You get a wide range of weapons as well, and can find scrap throughout the levels to upgrade them with new abilities (not just more damage!). It's a no-frills game with a serviceable story that you'll blow through in a few hours, but I guarantee it'll be a fun ride.

Two weeks out from Halloween, this thread really should be seeing more action. I guess the Alien: Isolation and The Evil Within threads hoovered up all the trending discussions. The Challenge Games 1. Alien: Isolation 2. Year Walk 3. Deadlight 4. Adventures of Shuggy 5. Atom Zombie Smasher 6. Alan Wake's American Nightmare 7. Infected: The Twin Vaccine - Collector's Edition 8. How to Survive 9. 1953 - KGB Unleashed 10. Burn Zombie Burn! Bonus Games A. Painkiller: Black Edition B. The Void C. Shadowgrounds 11. Home I think anyone who's ever played a video game has wished at some point to have some real impact on the story. That's why we make such big deals about morality systems and multiple endings, to feel like we actually have some agency in our pre-programmed experience. Home offers just that, the ability to shape the story through your actions, and decide the outcome. It's just so boring you won't even care. I don't want to get into too much detail about the gameplay because honestly, if you know nothing about the game and can immerse yourself in the experience, it's pretty effective the first time. The atmosphere is appropriately mysterious and oppressive, and there are a number of unsettling things to uncover. And there are a few scares to be had, but they're all just loud noise jumpscares that the game does not earn in the least. Aside from that, it's really just a low-res walking simulator. You walk right, you walk left, you go through doors and holes in fences and up stairs and down stairs, and you look at things. There's a lot of reading. A LOT. The variable elements of the story are based on what points of interest you actually examine during the game, and your responses to several Y/N choices upon finding certain things. At the very end there's a final sequence of Y/N questions that, unfortunately, kind of blows the entire premise. The first one has a right and wrong answer, and the wrong answer gets you a super lovely "I have no idea" ending. The questions after that affect your own fate, but in terms of the overall story just give you a super vague rundown of how certain characters might be involved. I've played through a couple times, and if there's a way to get a more satisfying ending out of it I haven't found it. If you've got it in your backlog you might as well give it a chance, but outside of the decent atmosphere it falls pretty flat as both a game and an experience.

As poorly designed as Lucius is, it has some great kills and weird Lynchian moments throughout. It's basically a puzzle adventure game where you're trying to find out how to skill a specific target. You can't fail, you just have to click around until you figure out the specific triggers to watch people die in glorious fashion.

Weird Games days 1-4 Weird Games days 5-8 Weird Games days 9-12 13. Realms of the Haunting    I've already talked about Realms of the Haunting but I'll talk about it again: this is an unsung hero of the genre. A year before Half-Life revolutionized storytelling in first person shooters with its mix of scripted sequences and 2 years before System Shock 2 advanced the adventure/action hybrid its predecessor set, Realms of the Haunting was that blend. It uses cutscenes to advance the story but it also uses scripted events and items to great effect. To use an example, the very first scene is you standing in the entry hall to a creepy mansion. You walk into a room and immediately a typewriter begins spitting out a letter. Picking up the letter you read a scrawled message straight out of The Shining. As a shooter Realms is passable. But as a horror-adventure hybrid it's unsurpassed until System Shock 2 years later. It also has the acclaim of being one of the few games with live actors that isn't awful! Get it on GOG, it's great. Special mention goes to Clive Barker's Undying which follows a similar presence. It suffers from terrible loading issues (it was going to debut on Dreamcast and the design shows) but it's another decent horror shooter. 14. Shadow of the Comet and Prisoner of Ice https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Dwukeu8alE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIa7Kwt-uD0 Time for a bad double feature. Heck, if you know what you're doing you can beat each game in 90 minutes or so. H.P. Lovecraft brand of cosmic horror is much imitated but rarely well. In their heady early 90s days Infogrames released two games heavily based on his Mythos and both of them are laughing stocks. Shadow of the Comet is the better of the two games, although I say that lightly. Despite being released in 1993 it's entirely keyboard based like the 80s Sierra games which makes it hard to control. The graphics are actually very well done with large, detailed backgrounds and cinematic close ups. The same can't be said about the laughable voice acting. The plot otherwise unfolds like a generic detective story with sparse bits of Lovecraftian mystery thrown in. The sequel is laughably bad. The backgrounds are largely pre-rendered and the characters are CGI models converted to sprites. The result is an ugly game with stiff animations that look like someone tried to render an adventure title with Mortal Kombat characters. It's shorter and simpler than SoC but uglier and constantly interrupts the flow of the story with PowerPoint slides. I wouldn't be surprised if Hideo Kojima directed this game because whenever something interesting begins to happen the characters aside while still screenshots cycle across the screen. I'd give Shadow of the Comet a try if you're into old adventure games like Gabriel Knight. It's still a middling adventure but there's a sort of charm to it that I like. It's slow paced and meandering then ramps up to an alarming finish like most of Lovecraft's work although I take issue with the protagonist coming out fine in the end. As for PoI, watch the longplay to see how laughable it is. Special mention to MicroProse's Return of the Phantom. Again, a middling adventure game but with digitized actors and some stellar cinematic scenes for a 1993 game. It's everything Prisoner of Ice tried to be. 15. It Came from the Desert https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTWd_eyAmgQ Out of all the games I'm playing this year, this one is hard to truly call horror but its aesthetic is thick in B movie monster flicks like Them! It Came is an expansion on Cinemaware's Defender of the Crown formula, you have to convince a small town of an impending attack by giant ants. It's a free form, non-linear game with a time limit and failure state that can put people off. But it's well scripted, sticks closely to its strong aesthetic, and is a blast to play once you understand all the subsystems and mini-games. With King of Dragon Pass coming back in the public eye, I'd love to see a remake of this game. There's a lot of great ideas here and its setting practically stands unique out of all video games. 16. Braindead 13 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZV4lQ_LgsGE This one is a straight up guilty pleasure. The CD era saw a revival of the Dragon's Lair style laserdisc games and Braindead 13 was one of the most heavily advertised of its time. And for good reason, it's beautifully animated and wouldn't look out of place as a Saturday morning cartoon. I remember renting this game and playing it after reruns of The Addams Family and Beetlejuice cartoon (the creator is actually credited as the character designer on Beetlejuice). I could beat this thing in my sleep but my bad reflexes today keep me from getting the iOS release. At least give it a watch if you like cartoons. The full game without dying is about 30 minutes and the video I linked I believe is from the superior 3DO version. al-azad fucked around with this message at 19:53 on Oct 25, 2014 |
