camera jumpscares

[jamesypro123]

i personally think this game would be a lot better if it had jumpscares on the camera and it would definitely make the game more scary. if this game had camera jumpscares i would expect it to be something like the ghost jumping at the camera at random points. i would like to thank you for taking the time to read my suggestion.

jumpscares do not make a good horror game.

I agree. jump scares cheapen the horror and ruin the atmosphere. Phasmo is 100% all about the atmosphere and why there is no other game like this.

instantly when you say jumpscares it'll turn people away because everyone here is tired of games that are like FNaF or boring indie horror games, but I can see what you're getting at. Now, instead of jumpscares, if there were like effects or something that the ghost would cause, that would be neat. Like it messes with your perception or maybe just a simple effect like some film grain would be a more interesting idea instead of a "Boo!" in your face.

The only jumpscare that would be interesting in this game, would be the ghost going in from of you like from a door to another. That would make sense in the game and that's about it

All that needs to be said.

One of the reasons the game is so good is because it relies on ambiance and tension and unpredictability. Perfect example is me and some friends did an asylum match tonight, we were unlucky and got a demon (hunts more frequently). The asylum was creepy and ambient scares and the initial hunt or two were very tense. But then the ghost hunted every 5-10 seconds after the last hunt ended. It just became tedious. I got back to the room, used my spirit box to confirm it was a demon, another hunt initiated, and I got 5 steps before dying because outside of it's spawn room and we gladly took the money and left.

When hunts become that constant they lose they fear factor. It's no longer a sudden scramble to get somewhere safe at an unexpected time. Now it's just "ok I'm going to hide at x/y/z when it hunts again otw back and then a/b/c and then d/e/f as I leapfrog my way back". That's not scary at that point.

The rare ear whisper jump scare or ghost manifestation in front of you is all the jump scares this game needs.

what are you 12? thats a horrible idea

[Knossus]

Jumpscares is the lowest of the low trash tier way to make something 'scary' and has no place in a good game.

So no, absolutely not. It would completely ruin what makes the game so good.

jumpscares are ok the first time but get old fast, game needs more challenge

Wouldn't say there needs to be jumpscares in the cameras; but having unique interactions for cameras would be more interesting and immersive.

Seeing quick manifestations, a ghost locating and interacting with a camera; knocking it around, turning it off, re-positioning it somewhere else in the room or building. Or even just hovering a stuffed animal or item in front of the lens for several seconds.

Something that can bring those chickenshit in the van into the fun too. And naturally none of these would count as evidence, and would just be the ghost playing with whomever is watching it.

jumpscares are oldschool and annoy more other people (me too)....
