Your conception of "fear" in a video game

oooh, found another good one!




It's kind of like a mix of Fatal Frame (Project Zero) and the grudge. Awesomeness!

Never heard of the game. Like you said, it really looks like Fatal Frame.

Neither had I until right now Right now I'm watching a playthrough and this one looks really creepy. Wikipedia says it's a survival horror game but hot damn this is just horror

If psychadelicsnake has a walkthrough of it (he probably has, because he made a lot of walkthroughs about horror games), I might check it out too . I don't have a wii so I can't play it myself.

Who do you think made the playthrough I'm watching? I don't have a Wii either so I'm just watching this on video.

Nice . I will check it out soon then.

BUMP

I have learned something.

You know those sounds that occur in the soundtrack of almost every SH title? Imagine that those sounds are being made by some horrible creature somewhere in the building or area. How about you completely fool yourself that that creature may attack at some point? There you go. The game is instantly more scary.

MY conceptions of fear is... Being near a Hunter without my Grenade Launcher.

its all about the location for me and in resident evils case the enemies.

To me, one of the scariest Resident Evil games was 3: Nemesis. Mainly because Nemesis being able to follow you from room to room. Like you constantly felt uneasy even if when you weren't even sure if he was around. Everywhere you went just felt extremely tense. Also, what freaked me out was how incredibly fast he was. It was like near-impossible to outrun him you just felt to helpless. That's fear. Also in Resident Evil 2 when you enter the interrogation room with the "magic mirror" like the subtle text just creeped the hell out of me for some reason. And you knew once you unlocked that door on the opposite side of the mirror something bad was bound to happen.

One more thing. The entire music for Resident Evil 2. Most specifically in the police station. It was just an overall more unsettling atmosphere than the mansion from the first game. Especially that infamous "bang" that you hear and are constantly wondering where it came from.

Try not to double post. Use the edit button next time.

This is bound to happen with every new guy, isn't it?

I'm not actually sure if I double posted either. I've done it on purpose a couple of times, though

500 posts a month. Climbing up the ranks pretty fast, eh?

Strangely, the zombies only bust through the wood if you backtrack through that hallway.

They should totally make a game where Slenderman is the main villain, and stalks you in the same way Alma does in the F.E.A.R. games.

That's pure fear.

Already done. Look up the game series that begins with 5 Days a Stranger, by Ben Croshaw. You will learn fear. I promise you that.

Good one Nite! In the games he's called the Tall Man, though.

Ah, so he IS in it.

Kind of a spoiler but I was kind of expecting him to show up. Like that picture that sometimes has him in it but sometimes doesn't.

I'm on day 5 now.

Okay, I beat it. No Slenderman. Must be in the sequels.

Playing Trilby's Notes now. However the graphics are all messed up and I can only play it with the sucky color resolution. Have to play it in a window!

@Mass: Indeed. I have heard people refer to Slender Man as the Tall Man though. I think it's interchangeable. I always call him Tall Man.

@Ravior: Good! I'm glad you made it through the beginning of 5 Days without quitting. It gets sooooo much better as you go through the series.
