The status of horror games
lately ive noticed that alot of horror games are all about psycological horror

ive also noticed that alot of horror games have a odd lack of gore. I know that theres gore in horror games still but ive noticed that alot of horor games just use gore as decoration like a creepy weelchair or a squeaky door

ive also noticed something lacking from alot of horror games nowadays that is verry important to me the horror. alot of horror games just arent scarry. things like fnaf and the resedent evil demo are sort of scary but i feel like there are two tipes of horror games. either games with good atmosphere and games with jumpscares.

i find it hard to be scared in games like that because if you play a game like resednt evil 7 you more than once the game isnt scary after your 3 go. at that point you alredy know whats gonna happen and you arent scared by the atmosphere.

on the other hand games like fnaf are unperdictable and have lots of jump scares. the jumpscares may be scrary for a bit but after a while it just becomes repetitive and outright boring

Trying to break down what OP said. Psychological horror? A lack of gore?

Sorry, we are not really connecting on opinions here. A lack of eviscerated hobos (Sorry Bob!) does not a bad game make. I mean, a certain amount can certainly add to the atmosphere of a game. But real horror comes from messing with your mind, not slashing the walls with gore.

I will agree, modern horror games have taken kind of a bad turn, with the FNAF trash dominating the market, and the new I.P.s either being half-assed and broken (The Evil Within) or dying on the vine (R.I.P. Silent Hills and Allison Road.) But we ARE still getting some good games too. Alien: Isolation, Outlast, Layers of Fear, Among the Sleep, and a little stretch back for the Dead Space games and Alan Wake.

Horror is thriving, just usually without a lot of chunks of dead people everywhere. Well... Except for Dead Space. That has chunks everywhere.

Oh, and as for the Resident Evil series. Yes. 4 was a Departure from the games roots. The game moved from static camera angles and nearly unplayable controls to a fully functional and playable game. True, the plot changed gears pretty heavily, but the former plots were so boringly paint-by-numbers it was nice to see them try something different. And I am super pumped for this new shift in Resident Evil. Into an actual survival HORROR game. Might be nice to play one finally, for the supposed genre it created. It didn't, btw. That was Alone in the Dark.

The main problem is that with most horror games and movies is lazyness. Most people think all you need to do to create horror is jumpscares and gore with little or no build up.

When I think of true horror I think of games and movies that use psycological tricks to build tension, such examples can be The Shining, The Babadook, Silence of the lambs, Silent hill 2, Slender the eight pages, Bloodborne and five nights at freddies.

Looking for atmospheric horror? Play Alien Isolation in a dark room and headphones. Good luck, have fun.

I really don't have a problem with psycological horror games. I believe them to grant more fear then a lazy jumpscare. I don't exactly believe gore to be scary either, its gross as hell, but not really scary. In a way I guess it's determined on how its done, for example the 'talking fetus baby' you find in Silent Hill.

its not that i don't find psycological horor scary its just that its so overdone

im just so bored of psycological horror

i like it when im looking at insanity from the perspective of a sane person

when you look at insanity from the perspective of a insane person all i think about is how much heroin the charecter is injecting

Remember Clive Barker's Undying...

There was one part in that game that got me good. You fell down into a catacomb and the setting was just right.

Green mist and you could only see so far. Then there was a screeching sound in the distance and you had no clue what it was.

It wasn't just messing with your head, there was something bad there...

Nothing is "true" horror.

I've felt like they have lost something. The Resident Evil VII demo made me sad. :steamsad:

First off, can fnaf really count as horror.
Second of all Colonel Sanders is much more scary from what he did with them chickens.
Third of I don't know whats more scary, Alien Isolation or your spelling/grammar...
