Your Scariest Game Ever?

Boo!

So what' s the scariest game you have ever played? .....i think i agree with their top choice, but there are a lot here which i' ve never played...

...anyway, i think that the scariest game series is tied between Fatal Frame (Project Zero) and Silent Hill... ....i also agree that some games can actually be more creepy than they developers intended due to hardware limitations...

...anyway, post your top 3 games that made you crap your pants... ...mine are (low to high):

3) Resident Evil (original)
2) Fatal Frame (original)
1) Silent Hill (original)

Where the f*ck was Condemned in that countdown?! Condemned was by far the scariest game I' ve ever played. After the department store level with the manicans... I' ll never look at one the same way again.

Silent Hill 1. Played it in the dark every night for a week with 3 friends. Scared the shit out of me.

Alone in the Dark 1, the very first surival horror game, that game scared the crap out of me!

Alone in the Dark 2, the very second survial horror game


and Doom 3

Alone in the Dark is not the first survival horror game. I' ll give a cookie to whoever fighures out what the first one actually was.

You could say it was Sweet Home by Capcom, i havent plated it, but it should be more RPG than anything else, Shinji Mikami says it was inspiriation to him when he made RE.

Alone in the Dark was made in 1992, and RE was made in 96, so not counting Sweet Home, Alone in the Dark was the first of its type!


You want my adress for that cookie?

Ive never found any ' horror' games scary TBH.

Its always the games that ur not expecting to be scary.


I remember Spy vs Spy being really creepy!

Going through all these strange rooms, frantically looking for or hiding certain objects, then all of a sudden, you crash a room inwhich your opposition is in face to face.

That always made me jump man.

We had this game when I was a kid called Overlord by Virgin Games, it scared me cause the game was totally silent except for ambient " space" noise and every so often some alarm would blare out of nowhere and I always jumped. It was such a shitty game too. Never got past the first level...I think...I dont even know if it had " levels" hell, I didn' t even know if I was playing it right. I hate that game.


@ f3hunter...yeah spy vs. spy was scary as hell...fun too.

Still wrong actually. The game came out long before any of the games you;ve mentioned. Some may not consider this game to be survival horro but it actually introduces all the elements that horro games are based on these days.

tell us then

Pacman!

You are put in a maze like level where you running away from *gasp* ghosts. You also have a weapon that is very limited (those power orb things). The entire point of the game is to survive and it has ghosts so it' s horror. Pretty funny huh? Odd but true

Viva Pinata. It seriously creeped me out the first time I saw the screens.


Condemned is the creepiest game I' ve ever actually PLAYED though.

Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly

Resident Evil 4 (Say what you will about the game being more action-packed and less scary) but it' s the only game that had my arms trembling from being so nervous. The fact that you can' t simply exit a room to get a little breathing room from hordes of enemies played a major factor in that.. Enemies come and keep coming no matter where you run and hide.

The scariest game I' ve ever played?

The first game that comes to my mind is Eternal Darkness, but I' m sure I could come up with more.

shut up noobs

1) silent hill series
2) Fatal frame series
3) resident evil series

Ocarina of Time?!

I will tell you why....

Playing it at a very young age, those shadow things that drop from the ceiling
and if you get grabbed, Link gives a blood-curdling scream that gets underneath
your skin...



For about a week, I became a paranoid child.

There are two rules to success:

1. Never tell all you know.

i hate scary games

I played part of the FEAR demo on pc then quit the second time i saw that girl
I played through a few levels of Doom 3 on PC then the scare factor wore off slightly and I realized the game was a pilo of pooh.

"If you knew how good I am you would think I'm modest."

like many others i got:

3) Resident Evil
2)Fatal Frame (the music drives me nuts)

and in first place....tada:

1)Super Mario World ( the ghost houses...i was little back then so it creeped me out)

I never really got into Resident Evil, and I' m shocked to say I never played Silent Hill.

Mine would be:

Splatterhouse (I was younf and those dead babie... ewwwww!!!!!)
Darkseed
Doom 3
Condemned

I think Condemned actually made me buy more underwear this year than the last 3 years put together

***flyingsaucersdisguisedasmushrooms***
***mushroomsinvadingfromouterspace***

Silent Hill 2
Resident Evil (Remake for Gamecube)
Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly
Eternal Darkness: Sanity' s Requiem! (Only game to make me shut off my system cause I thought it was deleting my game...Damn them!)

Edit: Gotta say Condemned as well, that game had such a great atmosphere.

Wow that is funny, after I had posted than edited this I checked Kikizo' s Scariest games...same as mine...I WIN!...nothing :)

System Shock 2 is by far the scariest I' ve played. Shodan' s voice still creeps me out today.

I do agree the sound design in System Shock 2 was the best you could get during that time.

" What most people need to learn in life is how to love people and use things instead of using people and loving things."

1) Eternal Darkness / Cube (hope to see a sequel one day!)
2) Silent Hill / PSone (still the best one!)
3) Resident Evil / Saturn (and remake on the cube!)

The fact that you can' t simply exit a room to get a little breathing room from hordes of enemies played a major factor in that.. Enemies come and keep coming no matter where you run and hide.

Yeah I remember when I first played the village part at the start of the game. MY GOD!! There was fucking enemies everywhere and then when I heard the chainsaw in the distance I really started to panic! BRILLIANT just BRILLIANT

1. System Shock 2

2. The first resident evil. I' m so scared of pixels..

3. Luigi' s Mansion. Boo' s freak me out.

Wind Waker is one of the scariest games I have ever played. Tingle terrifies me!!

Id say:

Silent Hill 1
Doom 1 + 2 (not 3) the first time you see that hell' s knight!
FEAR

Fatal Frame is definitely up there.

My friend was involved in making this really cool game called The White Chamber. Was a short 2d point and click game with a lot of atmosphere. The music was fantastic and it got a few good reviews. It' s easy enough to find on google and free to d/l.

3. Doom 3 at 2 in the morning

2. yes i agree, ocarina of time did creep me out when i got to the shadow temple

3. And of course condemned

Pacman!

...don' t ever expect anyone to believe that you don' t do drugs man.....

...

...oh yeah, another game which totally creeped me out was Halo.... ....the first time you encountered The Flood was pretty disturbing in a " The Thing" (1982) sort of way...

...especially the half dead ones that run up to you and just sorta stand there staring at you, with their little waving tentacle things...[:' (]...

Pacman didn' t scare me, lol. I was just telling Vx what the first survival horror game was. 1979 the horror began.

i got creeped out when i saw Captain Keys in the flood form

Seriously, I still have problems playing Pacman. It' s really scary. I can play Resident Evil, Doom, Eternal Darkness or whatever without problem. But Pacman... I don' t know it just freaks me out.

I haven' t really ever played that many horror games(Hell, I haven' t really played all that many games full stop compared to a lot of people), but I am amused to hear some people think Resi 4 is scary. I don' t feel like such a puff anymore, as a couple of you are more easily scared than I am. No offence, you guys just helped me out a bit(sort of...)

Thanks guys.


Anywhooo, when I first witnessed the final boss in Super Mario World, I was 2 or 3 at the time, I was actually pretty creeped out. Not because of Bowser, but by that big clown thing that he was riding in. Man I used hate clowns!

but I am amused to hear some people think Resi 4 is scary. I don' t feel like such a puff anymore, as a couple of you are more easily scared than I am.

Thanks guys.

Nobody said they were ' scared' of Resi 4, it made you panic at times at the huge amounts of enemies coming at you all at once. Being scared is a game making you ' jump' or giving you a fright.

Pulse Racer on Xbox. I played it to see if all the horrid reviews were true, and I still cant talk about it....

I dont want to celebrate, I want to sell you hate.

Yeah I remember when I first played the village part at the start of the game. MY GOD!! There was fucking enemies everywhere and then when I heard the chainsaw in the distance I really started to panic!

I KNOW! The first time I got my head lopped off by the burlap sack lady w/a chainsaw, my brother & I actually yelled. My friends came into the room panicking, & then saw that it was just a game. It was the chainsaw sound in the distance that really gave me the heebie jeebies.

Pulse Racer on Xbox. I played it to see if all the horrid reviews were true, and I still cant talk about it....

Have you actually ever played that? It is really... really... really bad. Almost the worst game I' ve ever played.

Fatal Frame 1 - Not the sequels (the creepiest thing about Crimson Butterflies was whether or not those twins were lesbian and incestuous). Number 1 made you on the verge of death with downright stingy health power-ups, and GOD DAMN hard bosses. Plus, the Ju-On (Grudge to Westerners, though the original Jap Ju-On is MUCH scarier) style ghosts that pop-up any and everywhere were sick!

RE4 - Not really ' scary' in the ' zombie-AH' style. It was more challenging and the fear of being swarmed. The bosses were less scary than the zombie villagers for one =/ But gawd, I loved the beginning part and I was trying my best to sneak by (while the villagers were burning corpses), then I shot a cow. For the heck of it. I wanted to see whether it would die...then I died (villager cow-vengeance!)

Not much else...cos I don' t have many scary games...


PS: I HAVE to ask. When I played a marathon session of RE4 on my cousin' s PS2, I played w/o saving (cos he didn' t have extra memory cards) till Giganto (or whatever that big giant zombie guy' s name is) and ran into the burlap sack chainsaw guy, I had NO idea how to defeat him at all! Is it possible? I just RAN straight through that level! Pass every single zombie until I reached the next loading screen.

Seriously, CAN that thing be killed?

I believe GameTrailers has a piece on the ten scariest videogames. I' d happily provide a link but I' m so exhausted that right now wouldn' t be able to find my ass from last Tuesday...la la la procrastination...

Nobody said they were ' scared' of Resi 4, it made you panic at times at the huge amounts of enemies coming at you all at once. Being scared is a game making you ' jump' or giving you a fright.

Just because something makes you jump doesn' t mean it scares you. People jump at surprise parties, but that doesn' t necessarily mean surprise parties scare them. Resident Evil 4 made me jump at times, although I didn' t get scared in the game. I guess that' s probably because it is more fast-paced than most games in the same genre, and you also have more space to run around in. I must admit, though, that playing as Ashley wasn' t exactly a walk in the park, and defending her as Leon was a real pain- especially when you had to defend yourself at the same time.

Besides, Terry did tell us to:

Say what you will about the game

By the way, Byakko, it is possible to kill the chainsaw guy, but it took me a hell of a lot of grenades to do so.

Agent Ghost- I was just watching this yesterday.
