papasyhotcakes posted:This may not be the place as some may not consider the game strictly horror, but the creators of Pathologic have launched a kickstarter for a remake of the original. Well I pledged. Hopefully I still remember it's a thing I pledged to two years from now. I've always wanted to play the game and figured why not.

I kind of love how this thread has already decided the mechanic of an unreleased game is overpowered and unfun. Edit: changed the word "game" to "thread" because I intended to write thread instead of game to begin with. Len fucked around with this message at 19:20 on Sep 29, 2014 |

DeathChicken posted:This all makes me think that if RE4 were just now coming out and they made it a point in the trailers to show off how the chainsaw guys could jump and one-shot you, man, that game would have blown, don't bother playing. I heard that plaga can bite your head off instantly. Not worth playing.

mysterious frankie posted:I find it hard to comprehend the logic behind that promotional video "The best way to sell this game as being fun and not at all tedious is to take a non emotive guy who is not good at playing the game, drop him nine chapters in with an underleveled character and film him dying and rolling his eyes in annoyance while barely making any progress for an hour straight. Oh yeah, have him play a build that still has some major issues with the trap disarming minigame, because nothing gets players more excited than broken minigames that inflict health penalties upon failure." I still think it looks great, but I can understand how something like that wouldn't exactly change your mind if you were already expecting the worst. See that's what gets me. Everyone admits the video is taken from the middle of the game, with an under leveled character and a player that has no idea what's going on yet automatically assumes the mechanic is going to be terrible. Like sure I get being a little hesitant but until there's context people should probably hold back from going "IT'S GONNA SUCK  "

1stGear posted:The stream where ghostydude makes an appearance, for reference. He makes an appearance at around 4 minutes and about 17:35, and probably more because I haven't watched the whole thing. He can appear during fights, during opening doors, behind you, and in such close quarters that there's zero chance to escape. People who have played the demo have reported that he can appear at points where you are completely vulnerable and unable to escape and is totally random. This guy in the last page strongly hints that it's gonna be a poo poo mechanic. Edit: ManOfTheYear posted:What worries you about the mechanics? Are there some glaring issues out of the bat? Accordion Man posted:There may be an invincible enemy that can one-shot you, or just bring you to one health, if you take too long throughout the game. I mean the thread is sounding pretty negative on the last page about a mechanic that almost nothing is known about. Len fucked around with this message at 19:16 on Sep 29, 2014 |

I don't remember saying it was gonna be a poo poo game either? I mean I guess in one post I said "IT'S GONNA SUCK " but the other two I typed out the word "mechanic". Either way I'm not going to get the game just kind of curious how a mechanic that is still pretty unexplained is automatically making people think it's going to suck.

A lot of people in the main thread keep complaining about the difficulty and how they lost all their ammo, but I can only imagine they did this by staring at a wall and firing - non-stop - until they were dry. So it really was people just hitting the panic button based on one contextless video.

RightClickSaveAs posted:Nice, that's the first one I watched and won me over. Those free RPG Maker/Unity/flavor of the week horror games are endlessly entertaining. For the regular horror games, I still generally prefer to spend time actually playing it myself, but if I want a video to skip around in and get an idea of before buying, his are one of the first places I check now. The best part is later rooms those actually do shock him a bit. Yet he still doesn't scream and wail.

I haven't really played the second FNaF but the first is pretty bleh. You really only have to actually check like three cameras and wait it out. Unless it picked up a lot after night 3 I don't see me ever finishing it.

demota posted:I'm seriously impressed by Cawthon cranking out sequel after sequel at this pace and making it meaningfully different every time. He's refusing to let himself settle, and I really admire his workmanship. It apparently took 96 days from the release of the first to the release of the second. So far from the second to now is 78 days. I don't know anything about game design but there doesn't seem to be much to the game. It's mostly still images with some animation over it right? How hard can that be for someone that actually knows what they're doing?

Improbable Lobster posted:This reads like a really really bad sales pitch from a clueless ad man, especially since you apparently don't have the time to play it yourself. So thanks for making me not want to play it. It's actually a pretty fun game. Visually there isn't much to it. The deadnauts are blue blips and the aliens are red. You play the guy sitting in a janky spaceship trying to coordinate everything. The deadnauts don't get along completely with each other so you have to manage morale. In the meantime your ship has issues where audio/video will cut out so you have to reroute power at times so you don't lose the feed. The deadnauts themselves have skills and roles and equipment so while one can hack really well his ability to shoot might be poo poo. You also can give a guy a scanner to scan behind doors before you open them. Rooms have integrity and if your deadnauts are poo poo at shooting or using explosives they can cause a hull break which immediately seals the doors locking your deadnauts in while the air slowly ticks away killing them. I didn't get very far but from what I played of it it's fun.

Spalec posted:I thought PT was the scariest game I've ever played, if Silent Hills keeps up that level of tension and fear for the whole game it'll take me a long time to finish because I'll only be able to play it in short bursts. And del Toro has great visuals. Pans Labyrinth is a good indicator of that. The two of them together should be able to design some incredibly environments.

Fojar38 posted:There was a Youtube video a few months back where a guy pretty much nailed down exactly what happened in the backstory based entirely on the death minigames in FNAF2. He was right about everything except for purple guy being phone guy. His argument that purple guy is phone guy is that he likes foxy and that his baton kinda looks like a phone in Atari form and I think that people are assuming that since he was right about everything else he must be right about this too. There's more to the death mini games than what they look like? Is that in readable form? Because I have no interest in watching a guy ramble about fan speculation.

HellCopter posted:Is anybody here playing Bloodborne? I think there's an argument to be made that it's a horror game. They really went all-out with the enemy design and there hasn't been a single one that didn't make me think "What the hell is that". Seriously. I was running around exploring and opening doors and such. I'd run out of souls so why not blindly run around ya know? Well I went through this doorway and the cleric beast just drops down out of nowhere. Fucker looks fantastic. Of course he murdered me. But he looked so cool doing it.

Valatar posted:To do a horror game right definitely needs a steering away from SCREEEEEEEEELOUDNOISEARRRRGH poo poo JUMPING AT YOUR SCREEN AHHHHHHHHHHH and a subtler undercurrent of danger. System Shock 2 did it fabulously when you'd just hear worm zombies shuffling down a hall past the room you're in and calling out to you; some of the chattier splicers in Bioshock were the same where you wouldn't be in immediate danger, but you knew that some crazy motherfucker with a box full of grenades was busy screaming about Jesus fifty feet away from you. But then how would youtubers know when to scream?

Industrial posted:It's pretty old now but try The Suffering for PS2. The gameplay is pure third-person action (think Max Payne) but it has a dead serious pure horror setting and tone. I loved it. Just skip the second one. It was nowhere near as good with the worst part of it being the added "realism" of a limited arsenal. I'm fighting demons in the ghetto that are based around different ways people died in the ghetto. I should not be saddled with a limited arsenal.
