I played silent hill HD collection after like 9-10 years and it still scare's the fk out of me its just more freaky i guess because of the ugly graphics( I'm 17 almost 18) But when i played silent hill downpour i wasn't scared at all same with homecoming only some moments when you're at the part that you have to walk in the mist and monsters spawn everywhere some OH FKFKFKFK GET OUT OF HERE moments.

Dear tomorrow, Find some sensibility, Respond to emotion.
Dear Politician, Define sagacity,
All chances of survival are beginning to diminish.
Comedy is no excuse for our own blasphemies.
Mass media, Mass pessimism, Mass Denial.
My television tells me to panic, but I don't think I'll listen.
The apathetic force us to persevere, with their backwards priorities.

But, video games aren't scary...

Gremlins 2 was scary as hell.

Fair play

Nostalgia is corrupting you, OP.

Amnesia is the ¨scariest¨ game.

Considering Horror games rely so heavily on the atmosphere, Silent Hill 1-3 nails it almost perfectly.

Break the windowsill

Games weren't really scarier, its just the "scary" games of today are killing hordes of zombies with a machine gun or QTE bs

Link or it didn't happen.

I remember when I first met the flood on the first Halo. I paused the game, got up, and turned my xbox off and didn't play for a week. Scared the -blam!- out of me, and I have no idea why.

The games weren't scarier, you were just younger.

It is possible to commit no errors and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life.

Cheeto is the only one among you that doesn't suck.

If you say so. I remember being scared to death of Resident Evil as a kid, and being just as scared playing Amnesia. It's all relative.

I don't think the scariness has really changed, I think games nowadays are just as scary.

  • 12.03.2012 10:08 AM PDT

I imagine it's because older horror games were about horror and not providing a mainstream zombie shoot em up experience with occasional jump scares.

Most older games were scarier because we were younger when we played them, and thus scared far more easily.

I think those were scarier because of tank controls and horrible graphics.

Seriously, old Flood (Halo CE) with -blam!- textures still makes my skin crawl. Halo CEA? Not as scary because they're more detailed

Some things in this World you just can't explain; but that doesn't mean they are any less true, just that you have to chose to believe in them.

Amnesia has nothing on old Silent Hill or better yet, Fatal Frame.
