Is this guy living in the past? LMAFAO...

horror games dropped the quality since a long time ago..

Think back to when you played games like resident evil 1&2 and silent hill 1&2, what was the one thing these games had that current gen horror games dont?
Atmosphere, it was little things like the right piece of music playing at the right time. They had a brooding, dark atmosphere that current gen games are sorely laking.

It sucks big time.
I'm a massive horror fan an ive played
nothing this gen that compares to the old
classics like resident evil,silent hill and fatal frame.The closest game ive been to being scared was amnesia and that wasn't as scary as the classics last gen in my opinion.The only thing i had to look forward to was silent hill HD collection and we all know how that's turned out >_>
I just hope that developers can stop thinking about money all the time and create something truly scary again for us horror fans.

Quite the contrary: that standards of people have gone up. Games that were considered to be scary or even classics are now just looking bland.
If one were to play old Resi, SH or Alone in the dark games they will notice that something is "missing".

Although Fatal Frame 2 still gives me the creeps...

I mostly disagree with Downpour's position. Yeah, the game is not amazing by any stretch of the imagination but is much better than the HD Collection and Homecoming. The main issue is the performance, but that was mitigated by the patches, especially on the PS3. Personally, I put it a little behind Origins and The Room.

Having Restless Dreams as a different entry from Silent Hill 2 is also a choice.

bfrye26186d ago

Normally, we would not consider it a different game (Restless Dreams), but since it had a very different critical reception and had new content, it was allowed. As for Downpour, I would agree, but since that one is subjective, we let him make his case for the placement.

silent hill 2 is definitely the best one out of those.

for me personally, the whole ritual/cult stuff was always so weird to me in all the other games.

CrimsonWing69185d ago

No disrespect but I put SH2 over 1. 1 is fantastic, but 2 took it all up a level.

bfrye26184d ago

We agree, that is why the writer put it in top place!
