Scariest games?

[brokensaint82]

What in your opinion are soem of te scariest games? For me 2 would be Silent Hill and Fatal Frame, both of the originals and ot the sequels....RE never really scaredme as much as i jumped at a couple things....to me thats not fear its a physical reaction, fear is a more psychological thing, and thats what SH and FF brought; thats what I think anyways

[Dimnos]

The first Silent Hill.

[Tadao]

Maniac Mansion: Day of the Tentacle

[Ant10708]

Eternal Darkness

[brokensaint82]

i forgot about that one....wasnt so much scary as just fucked up though....blue screen of death my ass

[robo_rob]

Condemned

[King Hadas]

The scariest game for me was always Red Rover. I was the weakest link in the chain you see, because of my sweaty palms. When kids came barreling into me and my partners my neighbor's hand would just slip right out of my grip. Soon my weakness would be discovered and then the other team would always run towards me and they'd never Red Rover me over because they realized how detrimental I was to my own party, not unlike Hitler. Soon I'd begin feigning stomach illness so I wouldn't upset my teammates any further.

Clock Tower. I was living in my parents basement when this came out and my mother burst through a sheet form the other side of the basement. From a laying down position on my bed I shot up the stairs and slammed the door. I even heard the scissorman soundtrack in my head.

Resident Evil 1 Directors cut. This game had me walking down stairs sideways so I could see above and below me at the same time.

[Antithusiasm]

I thought Dead Space was a pretty creepy game. Not terrifying, but it has a great atmosphere, music and plenty of those "holy shit what is that?" moments.

I thought Dead Space was a pretty creepy game. Not terrifying, but it has a great atmosphere, music and plenty of those "holy shit what is that?" moments.

see though, that's the problem with "scary" games. they're just like OH SHIT WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT WAIT NEVERMIND IT WAS JUST SOME ABSTRACT SPLASH OF GHOST FUCK THAT ISN'T EVEN ANYTHING AND WAS REALLY DUMB

fuck man, you know what's actually scary? G-MAN. that motherfucker was everywhere and is the creepiest fuck ever

[brokensaint82]

G-Man was everywhere yeah thats true and yeah that is kinda scary....what scared me the most about him though was you NEVER knew wtf he was up to and WHY he was always fuckin there man

[kahljorn]

I dunno I think the scariest parts in videogames are when you have low health or somethin and you're trying to make it somewhere so you're sneaking around and then all of a sudden some crazy thing tries to kill you :(

[brokensaint82]

another kinda scary game was Alone In The Dark...until it was raped when it came to the 360, but the old Playstation games were out before RE and SH...Clock Tower has been out forever and i have been lookin all over for the one that came out on the PS2 i have never been able to find it and since i cant i havent been able to play it which sucks

::EDIT:: just found this so maybe it'll get some memories goin

Resident Evil: Director's cut

[LordSappington]

Fucking dog gets me every time. >:

[robo_rob]

I remember when a bunch of kids were to scared to rent Taboo for the NES. Then it turned out to be amazingly boring, yet there still is occasionally that ONE person who still swears they are afraid to play it. Like how some people are about Ouija boards, just don't even want to be near it.

[LordSappington]

ELABORATE.

[brokensaint82]

I heard Taboo was boring and just well not fun so i never played it and as far as quiji boards go its kinda funny cause i tried it once with a couple friends and it spelled out redrum which i thought was weird since rum is usually brown or clear

[kahljorn]

when i played that stupid game I could tell by looking at my friends face that he was the one who moved it :(

[robo_rob]

ELABORATE.

It was essentially a fortune telling game based on a Tarot Card program. The fact that it had a warning label and all this hype that is was magic made it like Satan in a cartridge for parents.

It was the equivalent of a fortune telling app for smartphones.

All the same, kids in my neighborhood were afraid to go near it at the rental store. It was about the same time as a big crackdown on Satanic material was going on in my area.

I rented it and yeah... told everybody it was boring. Probably part of the whole rumor that i was satanic for awhile growing up.

[Tadao]

Dude, you should have made up some tale for the schoolyard.

[robo_rob]

yeah, in hindsight I should have.

Like OMIGID! The lights started flickering, and like stuff was floating! And Satan appeared demanding my soul!

[brokensaint82]

And a waffle. Satan really likes waffles i hear. Anyways just played F.E.A.R. 2 on a friends 360 for a few minutes........god it sucked. Like take your vaccum cleaner and put it against your hand, you feel that sucking? Worse than that........black hole proportions would be appropriate i beleif. Not scary not good

[Tadao]

Please stop trying to be funny.

[brokensaint82]

you mean like for good or just take a sabbatical to reenergize and watch more George Carlin and Bill Hicks

[kahljorn]

All I know is that if this game approached the suckage of a blackhole than you obviously don't appreciate the ramifications of its existence. If you drive a car through it you could turn into sam neil!

[LordSappington]

Now I feel a little better about myself.

[brokensaint82]

All I know is that if this game approached the suckage of a blackhole than you obviously don't appreciate the ramifications of its existence. If you drive a car through it you could turn into sam neil!

Sam neil in Jurrasic Park or Sam Neil in Event Horizon?

[LordSappington]

It's weird; just a few years ago, scary games and movies were TERRIFYING to me. Now I'm pretty much immune, unless you count those 'OH FUCK', desperate moments.

[brokensaint82]

same here, like Silent Hill, when i first played it i was almost terrified i play it now and I'm like wtf? yeah its creepy but why was i so scared back then?

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

graphics were fresh back then.

[brokensaint82]

that and there wasnt really another game like it out there....little bit of infor all the street names were named after different book writers, like Kings, Chricton etc.... anyways one game i forgot about was Bioshock, more for the big daddies, goddamn i hated fighting them

[kahljorn]

yea, i think being grownup affects those types of things :( Plus after you've played a game once the horror of WHATS AROUND THAT CORNER MAKINI THAT NOISE kind of wears thin...

YOU BECOME SAM NIEL PERIOD. ALL FORMS OF SAMNIEL.

[BloodyBandage]

Resident Evil (the first one for Playstation)...play that at night all alone when it first came out..and when that first zombie comes onto the screen my heart was racing like crazy...then again I was a lot younger then and more easily scared.

hey my sig had spam in it but now it doesnt cause i'm banned whoops

[bigtimecow]

mmhmm yeah okay sure

[executioneer]

bloodybandage are you a spambot

[OxBlood]

I think the Fatal Frame Series is highly unsettling and disturbing, especially the third one (along with Silent Hill: The Room)

This game is coming out soon for the DSi and looks spectacular as well as full of frights for a lot of people. Also the upcoming Grudge game on Wii looks like it will scare the crap outta some folks this Halloween. That and it looks pretty fun.

[Magreaux]

KU-ON :faint

[robo_rob]

Ju-On: The Grudge for Wii, releasing this October for Wii.

Trailer (http://www.gametrailers.com/player/48797.html)

[Magreaux]

Fuck that shit.

[Nick]

Yeah, Ju-On hasn't been scary in forever.

:rolleyes

[Dommin]

The original Resident Evil. I tried to open the mansion door, and nearly cried myself hoarse afterward.

[Nick]

Durrsomething makes a good point.

[Tadao]

What, that he wakes up afraid everyday of his life?

[Durrsomething]

What? It's a game full of glitches, long loading times, shit gameplay, shit voice acting, furries, bland characters (With Silver being the biggest Mary-Sue in gaming) and scene involving NECROPHiLIA/BEASTIALITY BETWEEN SOME CREEPY PRINCESS BITCH AND A MUTANT HEDGEHOG.

Sounds scary as hell to me

[bigtimecow]

srsly dude shut the fuck up right now

[Kitsa]

The Grudge game isn't new, they had a prototype of it on doyouhaveagrudge.com when the first US remake came out. Atmosphere was similar.

I can't tell you how disappointed I am that they made that game.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Is it the same thing as Atmosfear the video board game? We used to play Nightmare which wasn't scary but kind of fun.

[robo_rob]

This is a new Wii version, looks fun. Not really scary, but fun.

[Kitsa]

The only things that I see as being different from the old promo game is that a) it doesn't look like it's in "the house" (although the all-important STAIRCASE is there, I saw) and b) I don't remember actually seeing Kayako in the promo game.

The one thing that is majorly similar is the cat-sounds and the croak-sounds getting progressively louder, which I think is supposed to increase your dread but in my opinion wipes out the surprise factor.

I checked a while ago to see if the game was still at that URL and it was gone...didn't check to see if it had popped up anywhere else. You were safe as long as you stayed downstairs, but you died pretty much immediately if you went up the staircase.

[robo_rob]

It's probably the same game, picked back up. From what I read, you use the nun-chuck to walk around and use the remote as a flashlight. Pretty much the descriptions say it's basically a haunted house type game. As in, you walk around and get scared. Probably fun for short periods of time. Apparently a second player can set up traps.

[Kitsa]

I'm just starting to wonder how many other places they can stick Kayako. And after the godawful Grudge 3, we've got another one to worry about too.

Probably the biggest thing you could do to fuck with someone who is frightened by the Ju-On movies is somehow have random, anonymous croaking cellphone calls placed to them on a regular basis. If you could trick someone into filling out a registration form and then start that up, that would be fantastic.

And if there was a way to make their monitor warp like that freaky scene in the V-cinema version, that would be good too.

[robo_rob]

I'm betting here it will be random placement of her and random similar ghosts. Probably nothing too revolutionary, other than surprise moments.

[Kitsa]

that pretty much describes the movies now, too.

[robo_rob]

well, at least it matches the source

[RaNkeri]

Resident evil 1
Silent Hill 1
REmake

[Schimid]

Penumbra is the scariest game I've played in a long time. But that fear eventually turns into frustration when you realize that it's nearly impossible to kill ANYTHING, even if you had to.

[Celestemmcknight]

sorry sorry i am just not used to girls playing video games its a good change. and i am thinking screw it, i might just rip the tv off the wall plug it in then put it back i cant wait 4 weeks

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Banned?

[LordSappington]

There are a few DOOM WADs out there that can be pretty startling. Most notably are the Ghoul series. The first time I played it, I had the volume all the way down, so I never heard it coming until all of a sudden I had this giant zombie ghoul chasing me in the pitch black.

[Tadao]

Doom 1 and 2 were the first games to really get me nervous and make my heart race. After that it's been so few and far inbetween that I can't think of anything else that gave me that same fearful feeling.

[LordSappington]

It was that scream when you you died that got me back then. The scream, man. :hypno

[Guitar Woman]

I think OutNumbered! was the first game that really scared me as a kid.

I remember the first and almost only time I played it in the Computer Lab in elementary school, back in the Mac OS 5 days or somewhere around there. I played the game with black and white graphics, and it had crude PC speaker sound effects, or probably just a really shitty sound card, and the spastic bastard TV robots chasing you around the radio station almost drove me to tears. Gizmos and Gadgets had robot enemies, too, but they weren't nearly as terrifying on Windows 95.

I've still got a deep seated fear of that game today and would probably not want to play it ever again.

Other games that have horrified me both unintentionally and otherwise include Earthbound Zero, Tomb Raider, Ocarina of Time (:( :( :(), Metroid Fusion, Final Fantasy 7, and Silent Hill.

Yes, I am a large vagina.

[OxBlood]

Alone in the dark 1 made me feel pretty uneasy back when it was new...the sounds, the graphics, the Lovecraftian Atmosphere (back then, I wasn´t aware that it was Lovecraftian sadly). From the beginning with the claw on the window up to...well, 20 minutes later, when I died in the house somewhere...never finished it.

[derrida]

The Shalebridge Cradle level in Thief III. Fucking masterpiece in level/sound design. The other Thief games had some pretty creepy levels, but the cradle was the MOTHERFUCKING SHIT.

System Shock 2. Like Thief, this is mostly because of excellent sound design, and I'm pretty sure a number of the same people worked on both games.

The Clock Tower games. Dunno if anyone mentioned it yet, but there you go.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

The Clock Tower games. Dunno if anyone mentioned it yet, but there you go.

The first one at least.

[DevilWearsPrada]

Clock tower for snes had it's scary moments, but also had laughably bad story moments like when one of the main character's friends is drowning for a good minute and a half and instead of attempting to save her she just stands around going all 'durrhurr i guess my friend is drowning huh?'

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

That's why I didn't like Clock Tower: Ghost Head very much. It had a lot of bad plot devices. Except Mr. Bates was awesome all the time.

[Babs]

Shit, nothing tops Sanitarium. It's not really scary, just a little creepy but none the less an amazing game. Windows 95 that shit up

[OxBlood]

Thanks for reminding me...I still need to get that game someday. Rented it years ago and it was awesome. A great and pretty unique game.

[Dimnos]

The fact this thread is still around scares the crap out of me.
