I would think it depends on how well you can immerse yourself in the game. If I'm playing Dead Space with some friends, all the lights on, and custom music from my stereo, then I'm going to get a different feel then if I was by myself, lights out, surround sound headphones on...and maybe a little pot smoking to put the cherry on top. The game made me more nervous than scared to be honest though.
[QUOTE="hotfiree"]How can you be that scared by those games though raven, like the original silent hill the graphics looked bad so it was totally up to the atmoshpere but usually if a game actually looks real its scarier i dunno its hard to explainraven_squad
You just said how. The atmosphere. Also the pacing and the combat. I feel over powered in games like Dead Space. Playing on normal, I died once in Dead Space, and that was because I ran out of oxygen. I love my survival horror games to actually give me a run for my money. Actually have some sort of... SURVIVAL aspect to it. Dead Space had alot of blood, alot of guts, and alot of ugly creatures, but its gotta do better then that to scare me. thats cause people winge over the difficulty it sucks man i miss when it would take me a week with different strategies to finish a level
So it's like Resident Evil 4? Which I am currently playing now for the first time. For RE4, I was expecting a really scary game, but instead I got an eerie, tense game, not exactly scary. Except for the Regenerators, which made me turn it off. :P I haven't touched it in a week since that happened. :D They are so creepy!
