The first silent hill scared the shit out of me. Then again, I was a kid back then.
Dead Space 1 was the only remotely scary game I played in the last 10 years
i recently played enemy zero on sega saturn. that game could get pretty nerve racking
Stalker creep me out to no end.
This!
I freaking swear this game almost gave me a heart attack.
Silent Hill 2, Fatal Frame 2, RE1
Agreed
D.
The background noise from getting the bad ending…Jesus.
the story could easily be, once upon a time, a man bought a 3rd hand antique camera online and took a picture of his pasty faced girlfriend. She resembled a ghost in the picture.
the end
I can’t think of a name, but there was a game where cellphones was the theme of the game and you used them to listen to the spirits of the owners, shit kinda got me some times, and then there was that grudge game on the Wii
If we are gonna be serious about this…
Fatal Frame 1 and 2 are by far the scariest games i’ve played.
Both those made Silent hill look like disneyland.
I’m in the boat that games and movies can’t be truly scary; none of them have done it for me at least. Jump scares do get me, but thats being surprised more than being truly scared. If and when we get true VR then the games can begin.
I marathon’ed Arkham Asylum one weekend, did the Scarcrow sequence at about 3:30 AM Sunday morning. No sleep.
The way they lead in to that without explaining what is happening, I legit thought I was the one hallucinating, not Batman.
Spiderman ps1 classic, Final boss battle against Monster Oc shit freaks me out to this day
Rrraaaaaaaagh!
Ai…DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Edit: whoever that is that is playing really sucks at spiderman.
It’s not the aesthetic that makes Silent Hill 2 so good at scaring the taint off of you, it’s the characters and the symbolism throughout. None of the insane, writhing monstrosities would be half as terrifying if they weren’t attacking someone we identified with and were sympathetic towards- and if the creatures and places weren’t actually twisted physical manifestations of the protagonist’s psychological war with himself and his guilt. Silent Hill 2 goes beyond the tired jump scares and overkill blood and gore to deliver an experience that is just as thought provoking and tragic as it is terrifying.
i would have said sh2 i mean those controls were downright terrifying
fatal frame maybe, i dunno zero tolerance on the megadrive
White day isn’t scary imo but the endings are really different depending on the choices you make in the game so it has good replay value, though the bugs are annoying.
Also this part is pretty cool:
Friday the 13th for NES, Res Evil 1, Doom for PSX, Fatal Frame 2
