If we're discussing RPG maker horror games, I highly recommend Ib. You can't really make a game scary with something like RPG maker, but Ib does the next best thing by making it sad and melancholic (and a tad disturbing at parts). Also has an excellent soundtrack.

The Souls games never got to me but I played King's Field (From Software's first game and the precursor to Souls)

Second game. The first was the JP only King's Field (US King's field is actually King's Field II) which is even shittier looking.

If you liked KF2 I high suggest checking out KF3 and even moreso KF4: The Ancient City and Shadow Tower Abyss (both of which are ps2 games). KF4 plays just as clunky but actually looks pretty good, and is just as atmospheric. Shadow Tower Abyss only has a fan translation so you'd need to emulate it, but it's even more atmospheric and has a much greater survival bent, since you have more limited supplied and your weapons can break (at least until you get to the point where you're mowing everything down with a grenade launcher).

If they are selling it, its early enough to judge it.

To judge it as the extremely early alpha it is, yes. You can't judge it like it's a finished product tho.

drat it, I wish Kings Field Ancient City was a PS2 classic. I own it on PS2 and lost the ability to play it once my BC PS3 broke.

If you have a remotely decent computer you can emulate it with PCSX2.

Can any of you name a horror game I remember seeing a trailer for? All I remember is it featured a guy (in first person view) running away from some sort of humanoid monster thing (kinda reminded me of the monsters from The Descent i think?) through a wooden structure of some sort, and it had him turn around and look at the creating chasing you in the distance which looked kinda silly (the turning around animation, since it was in first person and the guy continued running while doing it).

Sounds like Outlast, since that's the only horror game I know that lets you look behind you while running.

Yup, that was it. Thanks :)

Ammo was never scarce, neither were ink ribbons if you were a bit frugal. I played the classic Re games for the first time a few years ago, and the only time there was ever any suspense for me was in 3 due to Nemesis, and even then not much.

I felt Re4 was a great step for the franchise to take, going from unintentionally hilarious to intentionally hilarious a la cheesy action horror movies, but then they kinda dropped the ball from that point on, making them waaaay too serious.

I honestly don't know how you can describe anything that goes on at the end of RE5 as being too serious. I don't particularly care for that game either, but that's not a complaint I would levy against it.

Oh no, the end of Re5 is fantastic. But a lot of stuff before that is nowhere near the level of charming goofiness that Re4 has.
