Is Elden Ring going to be scary?

[Julymorning]

Do you think Dark Souls games had horror elements? or Bloodborne and Sekiro? Do you want a "die in real life too" mod? According to a game journalist Dark Souls is a survival horror game.

"The Dark Souls series is a survival horror game in disguise. It might look like an action RPG; it has all those stats, numbers and loot that RPGs are known to have, but beneath the surface, Dark Souls is pure, undiluted terror."

I know this is a joke thread, but I genuinely want really horrific, eerie and tense atmospheres. If there is any of that sprinkled throughout Elden Ring, even if I have to go out and find it, I will be pleasantly surprised.

All their games have some very horrific elements, we often overlook piles of corpses, because we are desensitized, but their games have that. Also, there are always those special areas, where everything becomes a horror show, like the dungeon in Sekiro, or the Dungeon in DS3, or the Dungeon... they sure like horror dungeons.
DeS has Latria. DS1 has New Londo Ruins. Bloodborne has Bloodborne. DS2 has the gutter, and Aldia's Keep. DS3 has the Jail. Sekiro has an H.P. Lovecraft village (and the mentioned experiment dungeon). Elden Ring sure will have some creepy, disgusting and ugly enemies and areas.

Absolutely. We've already seen some elements of body horror, such as the grafted arms within Godric's funhouse, which is one of my favorite themes of horror. But you're definitely right about desensitization. Though I'm really hoping for some more Silent Hill or The Mist kind of eerieness, personally, and I'm really hoping for some cosmic horror elements behind the backstory of the cosmic magic.

Everything in Dark Souls was a zombie pretty much, I think most of the enemies here will be hollowed as well. It was a little bit unsettling the first time I played but also intriguing.

Oh, don't forget the smelly corpse pit, filled with giant flies, in Ashes of Ariandel!
The only reason we wouldn't genre the souls game as horror, is the amount of abilities you have to kill everything. Can't be horror if the horror is easily dealt with.

The only one that comes even an iota close to what he's describing is Bloodborne and that's just due to jump scares and how grotesque some of the bosses look and sound.

I actually think that Bloodborne is quite scary even without its jumpscares.

People have a different tolerance level for scary situations and the moment BB switched for Eldritch ... I'm not gonna lie, some things really freaked me out. I also know for a fact that the game goes further than was comfortable for some people I know and I can't blame them. The mixture of tentacles/blood and the strange sensation of cosmic horror and "unknown danger" can be a lot.

It can't possibly be scarier than the community forums.

BB is the closest they have come to horror. This looks more Dark Souls than anything.

You ppl saying DS has no horror elements are all wrong. It's basically horror action game. How dare u not agree with me.

[Daft Unikorn]

game journalist don't know what they are talking about, I wouldn't take anything they say seriously
