There's this kickass fixed camera horror game with quite genuine psx asthetics in the making called Paracusia. I played it and had lots of fun with it. Really felt like a lost Ps1 game, and gets quite unnerving, even when you wield a weapon. Warning, there's tankcontrols. (No sweat for cool people). Theres a demo available on Itch.io.

One of the good changes in the REmake was how you could set the controls to be screen relative. It would cause you to occasionally veer off into an odd direction upon screen transitions but it's just so much nicer overall.

Am I going crazy, or were screen-relative tank controls a thing in earlier RE games too? I always remember changing my stick direction to fit the context of the camera.

None of the mainline games did until the recent ports of REmake, maybe the Outbreak games did?

Silent HIll 2 and up had screen relative controls as an option, manditory in 4. While always nice to have options I found that a shame, having camera relative movement trivializes encounters (even more so in Silent Hill 2+) and just makes the main character a ninja in dodging. Doesn't stop you from mastering tank controls and doing the same with those: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TN8zYE5gG8&t=47s

Oh yeah, I definitely must have used screen controls for Silent Hill 2. I can't even remember if I died to a monster once in that game, but that's also kinda besides the point.

Nocturne had a lot of crazy camera angles and, in my memory at least, the controls were screen relative. So sometimes you'd turn a corner and suddenly walk right into a trap or a monster because the camera jumped to a completely different angle.

Devil May Cry also did that poo poo. It’s fun revisiting the first game and seeing how much Resident Evil dna was left in.

One thing I like about Nocturne is that one of the last chapters has you fighting imps and skeletons in a cursed cemetery. In most games those would be low level enemies but in Nocturne the skeletons always piece themselves back together no matter how often you kill them and the imps, despite being tiny naked red babymen, can withstand having their head blown of with a shotgun without it even slowing them down.

Nocturne was fricking cool and had some great moments. The mob episode was kinda bleh but the rest was great fun and creepy. Really wish it'd get remade somehow, over the shoulder camera or fixed, I don't care.

Aren't there some screenshots of an alpha version that was way slower and more like an RE game floating around? Or am I just thinking of the scrapped version of RE4 (which, I obviously loving love RE4, but the version that never came out also looks really cool) edit: and interestingly it also seemed very unlike previous RE games but in a way that's different from the 4 we got. There were like ghosts and poo poo and the vibe felt closer to Silent Hill in the video I saw

There's a fight with killer dolls, weird hallucinations, and a teleporting monster that acts similar to ones in TEW.

Is there anything I need to know about Uncanny Valley before I dive into it? I remember a friend being very frustrated about something with the game, but I can't remember which friend it was, so who knows what the issue was. I am emotionally prepared for the game to be Not Good, though my patience for pixel-art horror games is often pretty high, despite the usual jank that comes with them. Which reminds me, I really wish the guy that made Lone Survivor would try his hand at another game. I really enjoyed it, despite some glaring design problems and pretty dumb aiming controls.

Oh, cool! Thanks! MockingQuantum posted:Which reminds me, I really wish the guy that made Lone Survivor would try his hand at another game.

He did some solid music for Hotline Miami and I thought Lone Survivor was a hit, strange that he hasn't made one. I thought this was suggestive though.

I am emotionally prepared for the game to be Not Good, though my patience for pixel-art horror games is often pretty high, despite the usual jank that comes with them. The big issue with Uncanny Valley is that it's a game with multiple endings, but it's really hard to avoid one particular ending. You'll need to do a bunch of exploring and experimenting and that probably means playing through the opening sequence a bunch of times. If you've got the patience for it there's a lot of cool stuff to find, and if you feel that patience waning I fully suggest you start looking up how to do stuff before you drop it entirely.

Ahh yep that's what the complaint was. I don't know the conceit of Uncanny Valley, but I remember a friend saying he kept dying the same way over and over, or something, despite doing pretty different things. Good to know, thanks!

FreudianSlippers posted:Weren't there a couple of Blair Witch games set in the same universe as Nocturne? Yeah, Rustin Parr, Legend of Coffin Rock, and The Elly Kedward Tale. Rustin Parr takes place some time after chapter 4 of Nocturne but before the epilogue, and is the only one that directly links together. Also, Bloodrayne is in the same universe too, the castle and artefact from chapter 3 of Bloodrayne is the castle and artefact from chapter 1 of Nocturne. Also, the daemites from Bloodrayne made their first appearance in Rustin Parr. I need to finish Nocturne, that game's real good.

It's just so super duper broken on modern PCs; hell, WAS broken 10 years ago when I played it. Couldn't finish most episodes, couldn't even start the last one.

discworld is all I read posted:Not great honestly; it's kinda Lone Survivor meets Clock Tower, but not fun with a meh story. Kinda like Creeping Terror; looks interesting but sadly underwhelming. That's the opposite of what I was hoping someone would say! But not remotely surprising. New thread title: "Horror Games Megathread: looks interesting but sadly underwhelming"

FEAR's supposed to get a live-action (web?)series, apparently. The rational part of me wants to temper expectations for obvious reasons, but the FEAR fan part of me is incredibly giddy. Also Atari apparently renewed its Alone in the Dark trademark. I doubt that means anything, but who knows.
