When we will get to know our free games of this month?

I remember playing one of these games and it was freaky and looked good, but there was a problem for me getting into the game control/gameplay design wise. I forgot if it was the controls or what, but i remember it was confusing and frustrating. I wanted to get into it.
During the same time or so I played one of the Fatal Frame games. I liked that one and it did scare me.

Fun times.

I'm a huge horror game fan and I absolutely hated Siren.
I found it cumbersome to play and felt like the chapters broke the immersion. I could never understand the praise it got all these years.

Maisay2114d ago

Yes. It looked very good and it was interesting, but the gameplay design ruined it. It was confusing and frustrating to play.

MadLad2114d ago

Diamond in the rough would be an understatement.
The ideas behind the game, and the atmosphere, were great.
The gameplay was POORLY executed.

plmkoh2114d ago (Edited 2114d ago )

It is one of those games that if you persist and all the puzzles fall into place you will understand.

It is supposed to be frustrating because the game deals with multiple dimensions and time travel. That's why many original fans didn't like the 3rd game, because it was linear, although the presentation and atmosphere was fantastic as always.

Concertoine2114d ago

I assume your talking about the original Siren. The atmosphere was amazing but yeah, it just wasnt fun (RE) or scary (Silent Hill).

Siren Blood Curse came closer to hitting the series’ potential but the reason you probably wont see Siren anytime soon is because Gravity Rush is way more popular.

If you ask me they should revisit the series after PT left a giant gaping hole in gamers’ hearts. Its a cool IP.

I also remember throat croaking music wrecking my head ha

I love Gravity Rush but 2 didn't sell extremely well did it? Aren't they even trying to shut down the online functions to reduce costs.

This game was so good on PS3. Scary good!

The_Hooligan2113d ago

Yup it sure was. My pitch to Sony would be to hire Kojima after he is done with Death Stranding to work on Siren along with Guillermo del toro. Since they were going to make P.T., a scary game, this would be a good fit for them.

ravinash2113d ago

I think the last thing you would want to do is dictate what Kojima does.
He's only just got out of a situation where bosses were trying to control what he is doing.

The_Hooligan2111d ago

@ ravinash
Well I am sure Sony would give him all the creative freedom though and not dictate what he do like Konami did.

Legatus2114d ago (Edited 2114d ago )

Ahhhh good, old PS2 days, still have nightmares because of it tho, but man, loved every second playing it nevertheless. Awesome horror game and would love if Sony go back to it someday.

8 Best Horror Game Remakes

If you're going to relive a nightmare, you might as well do it right.

One thing that's been prevalent now more than ever is video game remakes. Dormant series like Prince of Persia, Splinter Cell, and System Shock aren't first getting brand-new sequels but remakes of the classic entries. Horror titles are no exception, with the recent Resident Evil, Dead Space, and Silent Hill remakes.

Putting aside whether these remakes are necessary, most of them are excellent. They can expand and enrich the world with added details, improve gameplay mechanics, or put more focus on the story. Standard remakes will count, but story remakes or reimaginings will also be included.

If Castlevania is there as an Horror Game then Demon's Souls should be there as well.

Also, you might want to add Shadow of the Colossus there too. Where you play as a mass murdering genocidal maniac on a warpath.
