When reading "I have used 3d on 3ds ,movies and games. People say "3d adds nothing" witch is not true. 3d adds just as much as HD doe" from your blog, I am inclined not to take anything you say seriously. There's been loads of games that you could add to the horror genre, Silent Hill, early Resident Evil, Fatal Frame, Penumbra series, Call of Cthuhlu: Dark Corners of the earth(The segment where you're being chased... wow), Cryostatis, Clive Barker's Undying, System Shock 2, Nosferatu : The Wrath Of Malachi, Clock Tower, Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem and the list goes on.

And don't rebut this with "Their not horror games", beause there's no fixed definition what horror is and it varies between person to person.

I have to kinda agree. Sure some parts where scary but it the Youtube videos just overdid it. I mean the water beast wasn't scary at all it was pathetic

haha very well done video. i love how it's inspired by amnesia (a pc game), yet the xbox 360 is his "life source".

I'm honestly too big of a chicken to play the game myself :?

yeah, he seems to not get that. when you're actually playing the game yourself, it's quite frightening.

Most people played that game with a friend (Based on the reaction videos on youtube) and played in the middle of the day with a friend. I mean thats not gonna be scary AT ALL. I played on my own at 1-3am everynight with headphones cranked up. Not that s*** was terrifying. Even when nothing was happening and I figured out the pattern at which the monsters would appear I was still scared just walking around. The music constantly made me feel uneasy and on edge. It was a teriffic game.

Also did anyone see the easter egg of the monster appearing and vanishing? I saw that part in game before I realised it was an easter egg type thing and it petrified me

I think its not. Penumbra is worse. The controls feel awkward somehow and clumsy. AMnesia had better controls even though they seem similar. Also the enemies in Penumbra are crap. Dogs and spiders and giant worms. Plus its a lot less scary when you can kill the dogs standing on a crate with a pick axe. Amnesia was better because you had no choice but to leg it everytime you saw a monster. THAT'S true horror

Yeah I played Amnesia first and now im on overture.(don't spoil black plague for me :P) So I guess people will have differing opinions depending on how they played them. Amnesia seemed to be more focused though. Like it had more of a purpose. I preferred the setting too.With the lanterns and torches etc. Like how you could enter a room and have them all extinguish. There was more a sense of hopelessness in Amnesia. And I agree the monsters became predictable but the fact that they could vanish into thin air sometimes made me feel uneasy cos I kept thinking they could metarialise out of thin air too. Especially after that glitch/easter egg I mentioned. Playing through it a second time won't be scary at all anymore now though

Some people have a more active imagination. The game uses sound and atmosphere more than actually seeing anything, which is left up to the imagination of the player.

Also, physical surroundings play a big part too, it you're are playing it in the dark, with headphones on..etc, you're going to have a different experience than if you played it in the middle of the day, with a other people around.

I didn't think it was terrifying, but it was chilling, and very effective at what it set out to do.

[QUOTE="dom2000"][QUOTE="millerlight89"]Good for you, it's not.

millerlight89

Thats true i guess, we should be thankful that they could even make anmesia cause it looked in doubt for a long long time due to penumbra poor sales :( !

[QUOTE="millerlight89"][QUOTE="OB-47"] Sure some parts where scary but it the Youtube videos just overdid it.dom2000

Of course the Youtube videos were over the top. They had to be to get plenty of views. I know half of the people who made those reaction videos are just desperate for views.

Same goes with CoD commentary.

Damnit that cartoon was freaky and sometimes scary as a kid!

Amnesia was awesome, but there wasn't a single moment in it, or in any horror game from this gen for that matter, that comes close to topping this (SPOILER for Condemned 2) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ixvh-8W1OS8&list=FLM9eaI78FtG0&index=67

Condemned 2 just doesn't get enough love :(

That was scary? :shock:

Condemned 2 is one of those games I forgot I bought. It was absolutely terrible. Wasn't even scary. Not to mention you had to find those items that wouldn't stop making noise and destroy them. The best moment with that game was when it got traded in.

Condemned 1, however, is a good game.

I posted the wrong link, *fixed. The actual one I wanted to post is hilarious. But to each his own. I thought the game was brilliant, especially that moment in the video. It was perfectly paced.

Well I gotta admit...that is a scary-ass bear :P

Still don't compete with Amnesia though.

you mad bro? you have gone a tad off topic dont you think?

Hd adds detail 3d adds depth with or without them it does not change the game play.

The bear was the scariest part of Condemned 2 by far, and even then it was pretty much a trial and error fight, not really scary so much as frustrating after a while.

Condemned 2 completely ruins the subtlety and atmosphere of condemned 1, particularly the further into the game you get. It's amazing to me it was even made by the same people.

Meh condemned was good. but not a good horror game. ita was all dark and dreary looking and had awful controls. But I appreciate the effort they put into the whole FPS combat thing. The only good part in respect to horror in Condemned 2 was walking past some mannequins and suddenly when I turned around they had moved and were right in my face. Now that was scary. But Amnesia was way more scary

Ha.. amnesia... probably lost 5 years from my life with all the stress while playing.

Im sure gonna replay it sometime lol.

Cosign, Condemened 1 was so good, LOVED it when I got it on xbox360 launch day. The atmosphere was sooo good in that game.
The second game though.. wow was I dissapointed... up there with the 2nd Deus Ex as most dissapointing sequels for me.

Ah I see we have the usual "I watched the game on youtube because I don't have the system to play it on" judgements of the game again... I laughed at the vid but I like the game a lot.

[QUOTE="dom2000"] "sure some parts where scary but it the youtube videos just overdid it"...... thats not clear to you? Lol im not sure how you can interpret that so poorly.....and you screamed in terror...too frightened to go foreward? lol ^^ ok!millerlight89

What I meant was that the game was scary (I own it) but the people on Youtube make it out to be waaay scarier than it is

I've never played this game, but it looks very interesting. I love horror games. How much is it and I'm wondering if I'd be able to play it on my computer.
