But actually watching video of it, maybe it could be a good LP to do? Sadly doing a cursory search of youtube brings up nothing that I'd recommend. Yeah same, theres some autistic guy that I couldnt listen to for more than 10 seconds.

The hospital bit at the beginning of Phantom Pain with the burning man and Psycho Mantis was brilliant and tense and yeah, Kojima needs to do a full on horror game. Also in the Splatterhouse game you fist a demons rear end until it dies. It's boss.

For anyone else it would be, but Kojima would have all the hype from P.T. behind him. Sure it wouldn't be actually Silent Hills because I doubt he'd be able to get the license from Konami what with their SH-based parlor games being loving money printers in Japan, but it's more viable from him than a brand new, unknown company.

Yeah, it's not like Kojima is some mew name in the industry. Apparently he's still hanging with Del Toro and Norman Reedus to boot. Hopefully if they are working on a secret horror game then they'll have also gotten Junji Ito back. Too bad the FOX Engine is dying with Konami though, that poo poo was dope.

So I'm about to replay Dead Island and all that, and I found out about Escape Dead Island. I didn't even know it was a thing so I looked up reviews and...woof. Was it really that bad?

I'm gettin good at making panicked pubbies stumble into bear traps, where they proceed to get macheted and meathooked. Dead by Daylight is pretty fun and intense if you can get into multiplayer horror scenario stuff.

The first Dead Island is far from being "really bad" in all actuality, but that's not an unfair way to describe the game. It's not much of a horror game but it is a hilarious, goofy, unintentionally so-bad-it's-good coop romp with friends. At least for a little while. By the 3rd chapter the gimmick had worn completely thin but it was definitely fun while it lasted.

So I just recently got an early model PS3 that can play PS2 games, and I haven't owned a PlayStation since the original PS1 was new, and I'm getting caught up on 3 generations' worth of back catalog. Are there any PS1/2/3 horror games I should keep an eye out for? I'm talking console exclusives, or games where the "best version" came out on PS1, 2, or 3.

I mean, it sounds like you've never had the opportunity to play Silent Hill 2 or the Fatal Frame trilogy. If that's the case that's four games right there, and I'd add on Silent Hill 3 at least. E: Oh, The Suffering as well. I'm curious though, why have you never played Ps2 games off an emulator? A. Beaverhausen fucked around with this message at 20:13 on Jun 7, 2016 |

I've got The Suffering 1 and 2 for Xbox, and I've got Silent Hill 4 also for Xbox. I haven't personally played SH1-3, but I watched a friend marathon all three games over a Halloween weekend in college. I've also got Fatal Frame 1 and 2 for Xbox, but I think the series stopped there on that platform. As for an emulator, I've never really messed with any emulators newer than the Atari Jaguar (or MAME). I don't have a game controller for my PC, and using a keyboard to play games designed for consoles/controllers always felt weird.

Was it really that bad? It's incredibly buggy and the main character may be more detestable than the previous characters, which is saying something (one liners after killing!). The later levels try to get artistic with battles inside the mind and the ending is ultimately a time loop leading back to the beginning of the game. Avoid.

Rafza posted:
The PS3 Siren is basically a remake of the first Forbidden Siren, but it isn't a compilation and it deviates quite a bit from the original in casting. (Most of the cast is no longer Japanese and is replaced by Americans) It's also more Western horror themed, so it's a bit more action packed then the original.

You could try the the first two Siren games and Rule of Rose, they're not good exactly, in fact RoR and Siren 1 are pretty unfun to play, but they are dripping with atmosphere and do some unique things if you can get past that. Siren 2 is actually pretty good, though old school, it never got released in the US but there's an English translated EU release. There's also Haunting Ground, a Clock Tower spin off that's much better than the awful CT3. Some of those are super pricey to get from eBay now though.

Can confirm that none of the four game stops within reasonable driving distance of my house had Rule of Rose. I ended up finding it in a secondhand store on display. EDIT: I got mine for $70 with case, but no booklet.

Nothing has made me more disappointed than finding out RoR is apparently so rare. I got it when it came out in the US, my gamestop in not-particularly-noteworthy TX had a pretty good bunch of copies and a few years ago I even still remember seeing they had some, that I didn't even look at twice at the time. I drat near guarantee they're all gone now though probably, if I got the mind to go look or call them up.

Here's a trick though. Walk into a GameStop and ask them to order it for you. They ordered a Shin Megami Tensei game from a place a few states away. I paid $15 for it at a time when Raidou vs the Soulless Army was still worth about $100.
