I just realised. There are no genuinely terrifying tension building horror games on the current generation of consoles. I got my hopes up with silent hill 8 but it just didn't scare me.    
   
Don't mention Dead Space or Fear they are not scary and my pc sucks so bad it can't run games   
   
time to enter the angry dome

Look up OnLive gaming and try/buy Amnesia: The Dark Descent. That or try Slender. Seems pretty scary.

You should try Slender for the PC

i think the game is called I am alive by ubisoft... it is an arcade survival game and it looks awesome

but i have no storage on my hard drive so fuck it
User avatar #69285 to #69009 - WinnerofTheGame (07/09/2012) [-]
PC game only i believe, i have just seen youtube vids of it.
User avatar #69475 to #69285 - szymonf (07/09/2012) [-]
it is arcade for the 360 i know that for a fact
User avatar #69714 to #69475 - WinnerofTheGame (07/09/2012) [-]
We're thinking of two different games./
User avatar #69911 to #69795 - WinnerofTheGame (07/10/2012) [-]
Yes, two very different games...
User avatar #69718 to #69714 - WinnerofTheGame (07/09/2012) [-]
Maybe....
User avatar #69039 to #69009 - freedomreturns (07/09/2012) [-]
I AM ALIVE isn't really terrifying, very fun, but not terrifying.
User avatar #69040 to #69039 - szymonf (07/09/2012) [-]
i guess i was mistaken
i have only seen initial gameplay footage...
i really want it...
but like i said i dont have enough room on my xbox hard drive

Well, the only scary part of it was on boat, it's really dark in there and big muthafuckas in full body armor with machetes and guns can be quite scary when you are equiped only with bow, 1 arrow and don't have any food with you.
User avatar #69477 to #69340 - szymonf (07/09/2012) [-]
that is why i thought you might be on the edge of your seat

alan wake and catherine, come to mind. neither are pure horror sort of things, but there is definitely the tension, and creepness factor working there. I agree though, need some new horror franchises since resident evil went over the action deep end. 47
User avatar #68962 to #68957 - letriggs (07/08/2012) [-]
Alan wake would have been good if it didn't tell you what would happen in a few minutes
User avatar #68974 to #68962 - notquitefourchan **User deleted account** (07/08/2012) [-]
yep

Minecraft... Creepers are scary as fuck..

User avatar #68931 to #68928 - letriggs (07/08/2012) [-]
I think at times minecraft probably is the scariest thing of the current generation
User avatar #68936 to #68931 - antog (07/08/2012) [-]
they should totally port Amnesia over to xbox in the arcade shop thing, that would be soooooooooooooooooooooooo awesome :D
User avatar #68947 to #68936 - sickpup **User deleted account** (07/08/2012) [-]
and the controller layout would be perfect
User avatar #68970 to #68947 - antog (07/08/2012) [-]
we need to convince them to do it :D
User avatar #68972 to #68970 - sickpup **User deleted account** (07/08/2012) [-]
well we have a chance since amnesia 2 is coming out, i think
User avatar #68991 to #68972 - itotallylold (07/08/2012) [-]
will amnesia 2 be a PC only title again
User avatar #68919 to #68901 - arsecandle (07/08/2012) [-]
I'd say Dead Space is more of a 'makes you jump game' not scary really, making people jump is easy. Scaring them through a game would be a lot harder
User avatar #68992 to #68919 - itotallylold (07/08/2012) [-]
I didn't find either dead space game all that scary. I personally thought that the gameplay,story and atmosphere more than made up for the lack of fear though.
User avatar #68949 to #68919 - sickpup **User deleted account** (07/08/2012) [-]
The only time Dead Space 2 would be truly scary is to play Hard Core mode
User avatar #68953 to #68949 - arsecandle (07/08/2012) [-]
I wouldn't dare do that, I'd probably rage too hard
User avatar #68956 to #68953 - sickpup **User deleted account** (07/08/2012) [-]
I did, failed miserably, i've completed it on zealot though
User avatar #68959 to #68956 - arsecandle (07/08/2012) [-]
How was it?

I think I'd find it more annoying than fun
User avatar #68963 to #68959 - sickpup **User deleted account** (07/08/2012) [-]
Bloody hell, pure hell, I couldn't get past it because of those necromorphs that climb they ceiling then drop down on you and the stalkers is well
User avatar #68965 to #68963 - sickpup **User deleted account** (07/08/2012) [-]
that was Hard Core mode but Zealot was a lot easyer, due to the fact you had your weapons from your previous save if you did new game+
User avatar #68924 to #68919 - letriggs (07/08/2012) [-]
the imagination is scarier than any reality. If you hardly show monsters and just have little noises and subtle things happen you will get scared. Also if you don't have an armoury of weapons to hide behind you get scared
User avatar #68934 to #68924 - arsecandle (07/08/2012) [-]
I think that's a good point about Dead Space, numerous times I'd ran out of ammo completely. Either that's good positioning of ammo, or I'm terrible at aiming
User avatar #68938 to #68934 - letriggs (07/08/2012) [-]
whenever I played dead space I had tonnes of ammo. I learn through old resident evil games to take a monster down in the least amount of shots
User avatar #68945 to #68938 - arsecandle (07/08/2012) [-]
Yeah I would always be aiming at weak points but it's like the bullets did nothing at all, then I'd run out. Frustrating as hell. I'd prefer to play Resident Evil over Dead Space any day

tbh...  There were a few times I jumped in FEAR...  but you're right scary games aren't really scary, maybe because Castlevania got rid of that fear...  Only other horror games that legit scared me were the fatal frame games (ghosts are FAR more scarier imo as compared to mutants or zombies).  Your opinion also reflects on how horrible the industry has gotten, there's an article on IGN that says this is the worst year in video games so far...  that's bad

see jumping isn't fear. I can jump at anything but I don't get scared.

The last genuinely scary game I played was Silent Hill 2. That game got tension so perfect, it just left you to get scared on your own while it watched
