Fatal Fram 2 freaky as all hell

Madman 02-17-2004 07:47 PM

wow nobodys played The Thing?that games pretty fuckin scary,good too.

Weird Terrain 02-23-2004 02:16 AM

The Thing is an excellent game, no doubt about it, and I think the continued story worked perfectly.
One of the horror games that scared me the most was RE: Nemesis. I just made little green gnomes in my pants, everytime I meet him...
I am so looking forward to Silent Hill 4 btw, as well as Resident Evil 4. I am very positive about the changes they've made so far in RE4.

SoulEater 02-23-2004 10:42 PM

I'm with you on that one. SH4 is shaping up to be even more inventive than any of its predecessors and RE4 looks simply awesome. It's also interesting that is will be the first Silent Hill to have a subtitle: Silent Hill 4: The Room. No gaudy demon laser dragon shit... just "The Room". It's so ordinary yet intriguing at the same time and makes for plenty of speculation.

I don't think manhunt is one of the scariest games but the dark environments used to creep me out. But the scariest game for me would be Alien vs. Predetor when playing online, especially since I was young when playing it the dark areas and the aliens hiding in the shadows while the fucking radar is beeping its ass off.

MythMan84 02-25-2004 05:37 PM

i really feel sorry for the people who made these games, they must have some pretty warped minds

Cult_King 02-25-2004 06:19 PM

Since when is warped a bad thing?
btw if your hells guitarist then why is your avvy a bass?

MythMan84 02-25-2004 06:37 PM

jsut to state a point basses are guitars, and i didny notice it was a bass until today so i plan on changing it

Hate_Breeder 02-26-2004 05:20 PM

For me it would go like this
1.)Resident Evil(Gamecube)
2.)Silent Hill 3(PS2)
3.)Resident Evil 2(N64 or Ps)
4.)Fatal Frame(Playstation)
5.)Silent Hill 2(Playstation 2)

Eternal Darkness had some wonderfully creepy bits... I liked the tension that built as Alex slowly went insane... Maximillion's scenario where he starts out a bit paranoid, and eventually his servents go insane and/or are possessed by those demon things... walking into the bathroom and hallucinating the dead body in the tub... some of the subtle things, like the paintings changing... I found the whole feel of the game just great, and very disturbing.

The first Resident Evil was the first real horror game I played... It did a pretty good job of creeping me out and/or making me jump. The dogs, of course. And the first time you encounter a Hunter. You see it coming from behind, and I was thinking... Oh, what the hell is this? :eek:

I didn't think the Gamecube remake would creep me out since I pretty much knew what was coming, but they did a really good job with the atmosphere, and adding some new stuff. ...

Sadly, I have never played any of the Silent Hill games (though have wanted to...).

BAsses ARENT guitars......guitars are skinny basses..... Damn guitarists.....

SoulEater 03-08-2004 06:55 PM

Wrong.

Guitars and basses are BOTH just retarded ukeleles.

Scariest game in my opinion would have to be Clocktower: The First Fear for the Super Nintendo. Although it was never released in the United States, they did a remake of it for the PS1, but they changed around the story a bit and added some things. I have yet to play it, but I think that the original would be better.

Here are some screenshots of the game:

Scissorman

http://www.dark-legacy.org/survivali...firstfear3.jpg

Nice fog effect.


The story:

"Tragedy struck Jennifer Simpson at an early age. First, her mother passed away. Then her father, a medical doctor, mysteriously vanished while answering a late night house call. Seemingly abandoned and with no surviving relatives, the turned custody of Jennifer over to Granite Orphanage. Although quiet and reclusive, Jennifer manged to make friends with a small group of her fellow orphans: Ann, the prankster, the insecure Laura and the pessimistic Lott.

Then in September of 1995, a woman named Mary Barrows visited Granite Orphange. The wife of the wealthy Simon Barrows, Mary Barrows had come in her husbands stead to adopt children for their family. At first Jennifer and her friends were afraid of being separated. However, they were shocked to learn that Mary Barrows planned on adopting all four of them! What followed seemed to come right out of the pages of a fairy tale. Their new stepmother led Jennifer and her friends up the lush country road to the "Clock Tower" mansion. The townspeople called the Barrows mansion this because of the large clock tower built into the roof.

Mary took Jennifer and her friends inside the gigantic mansion that would be their new home. She tells the children to wait there for her in the main hall while she went to get her husband Simon. At first, the children were excited and waited patiently. Soon they realized that Mary has been gone for an awfully long time. Finally, the girls suspect something was terribly wrong. Jennifer told the others to wait for her and decided to go find out what happened to their new Stepmother.

Jennifer was searching for Mary in one of the mansion's long hallways when suddenly the lights went out and there is a blood curdling scream. She rushes back to her friends only to find the main hall deserted. Desperately, Jennifer searched the nearby rooms looking for her friends. Then a being straight out of a nightmare revealed himself, a madman wielding a giant pair of scissors! She thought she'd escaped him, but he kept stalking her and nothing seemed to be able to stop him. Now, you must assume the role of Jennifer to find a way to elude the murderous Scissorman, rescue your friends and escape the Clock Tower mansion before it is too late!"

If you want to play the original, you'll need a SNES emulator, the rom, and a translation patch...unless you of course know japanese.

Great game nonetheless.

That actually looks pretty damn impressive for a Super Nintendo game. Thanks for sharing.

You're welcome. I wish it were released in the U.S. though. :(

Nightmarian 03-14-2004 06:29 AM

Well, I'll have to go with Silent Hill and SH2. They were kinda scary, for as scary as a game could be.

Anyone here had a Commodore 64 when they were young? I remember a game I used to play back then, it was called "friday the 13th" and it was pretty freaky. It had nothing to do with the lame F13 released by Nintendo on the original Nintendo game console. You were playing any character you choosed from and you were roaming around a map, collecting weapons, ranging from a knife to a chainsaw and you had to discover Jason and kill him. Fun part was that you also could kill just anybody you wished!! The challenge of it was that jason was 'sahping' like another character and the only way to find who he was was by witnessing a murder. Pretty damn cool for such a old game. Each time a killed was made, by you or Jason, the screen turned to bright red with a pixelised drawing of a Jason hockey mask showing. A loud girlish scream resounded and the shivers caught me every time. I was about 10 back then and it really was freaky.

Scariest Game Ever
 
I would have to say the original resident evil. Fuck Silent Hill! (no offense). When I first played Resident Evil when I was about 7, It scared the hell out of me. I do not know why everyone is saying Silent Hill? That game was not scary.

Midgard Dragon 03-14-2004 08:18 PM

Nope, Silent Hill gets my vote now (yes I'm changing my vote 'cause I just recently played Silent Hill.)

As for why people are voting for SH over RE, it's b/c SH's spookiness is just that. It's not "in your face" zombies and stuff like RE. It's more like being alone in the dark and hearing something off to the side. You turn and sometimes there's nothing. But, on SH, *sometimes* you get demented little kids or evil nurses attacking you from all sides. My only complaint with SH1 is the retarded controls. Apparently the gaming industry hadn't perfected how to use the analog when SH came out :rolleyes:

Bingo!

You've got it all right here.

Once again, atmosphere!... It's all about the atmosphere given to the whole game.

Are you sure you are not getting two games mixed up? because some of it sounds similar to the friday the 13th game, however if you could find some pics then that would be awsome, sounds like a cool game:)

Weird Terrain 03-22-2004 04:52 PM

Resident Evil 3 and Silent Hill 2 are two of the scariest games I've ever played. I just loved the story and twists in SH 2 and just loved to change pants whenever Nemesis came along, and scared the shit out of me...

Weird Terrain 03-22-2004 04:59 PM

Btw the Friday the 13th game you are talking about, I think there was one game out called Splatterhouse, but that one is from 89 or so. Think it was the one out on Amiga or Nintendo.

guardian 03-23-2004 03:54 AM

I still love the father of all Resident Evil alike games - Alone in the Dark. By Infogrames I think.
And Nocturne was scary too.

SoulEater 03-25-2004 12:03 AM

I never played Nocturne but I did play the Blair which series -- all of which I enjoyed -- and they used the same engine. I should try Nocturne since it goes for about $10 at the store.

Great words on Silent Hill there Midgard Dragon... I completely agree.

hellfire1 03-25-2004 09:34 AM

am i the only one who got freaked out by the song in the opening credits of SH ?? freaked the hell out of me :p

XFeaRX 04-08-2004 09:20 PM

Splatterhouse was a scary ass game! I remember playing it when I was young.

VampiricClown 11-26-2005 02:46 PM

I found no scares from these series: Silent hill, Resident Evil, Doom, Clocktower or even Clive Barker's Undying.

I am unable to play Fatal Frame in for the fact that I cannot sleep at night or take the sudden scares from it while playing. And the second was even scarier than the first. If you're looking for a good scare, pick this up and put the movie you were gonna watch back on the shelf.

Jacob Singer 11-27-2005 01:20 AM

I'm a big fan of Silent Hill saga (For me the 2º part is one of the best videogames I ever play) , but the scariest games I ever play is Fatal Frame...man I remember when the blind woman cames at my back telling 'My eyes it's too dark here' ... danm I'm too old for this shit. The second part(Crimson Butterfly) it's good but the history it's too similar to the first one

IDrinkYourBlood 12-05-2005 05:19 PM

Id have to say all 4 silent hills. Some of the best games Iv ever played.

noctuary 12-11-2005 09:21 PM

Fatal Frame is definitely the scariest game I've ever played. Overall, I prefer the Silent Hill series (especially if we're talking about SH2) but the SH series is really more sad and disturbing than outright horrifying, to me at least. Fatal Frame, on the other hand, had me afraid to walk around the house in the dark.

Despare 12-19-2005 04:59 PM

I loved Eternal Darkness for the ability of the game to mess with your head, I turned my GC off the first time the screen went black and stuff, very cool. I remember D being kind of creepy and System Shock made me jump a couple times. I will never forget the first Resident Evil though, when you run down the hall and the dog jumps through the windo for the first time. Good stuff.

The_Return 12-26-2005 08:18 AM

To be honest, Ive on;ly ever played one horror game- Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requim. Scared the living crap out of me...

hypnocil addict 12-29-2005 09:52 AM

have any of yall played this game "F.E.A.R."? i think its only for computers, i havnt played it, but the commercials scared the crap out of me!!

alicefan 01-01-2006 05:10 PM

Yeah, I agree with others that Silent Hill 2 is a pretty strange game.

Posher778 01-04-2006 02:07 PM

Half life 2. the ravenholm level... try it out, you can download the demo and one of the demo maps is ravenholm.

Haunted 01-12-2006 09:01 AM

Silent Hill (1-2) and Fatal Frame scared the shit outta me.
