But, video games aren't scary...

I'm guessing you've never played any of the Silent Hill games.

I agree. The scariest game is Quake 1. It's so completely and utterly random that you had no idea whatsoever what to expect next. Even with God Mode enabled, -blam!- scared the -blam!- out of you. You would walking down an eerily empty corridor with no sounds. Then, suddenly your character starts randomly grunting, then, BAM!!!! Out of nowhere, 8 Night Shamblers teleport around you and are roaring at you, and you're all like "eh, er, ere" and it makes you jump out of your skin, cos, -blam!- I wasn't expecting that mother -blam!- -blam!-... Yeah old games are definitely scarier, it's less so but still so in Doom 1 and especially Doom 2. Newer games swapped that out for a failed attempt at realism which is inferior to the insanity of 90's games with inter-dimensional hell-demons like what the -blam!-?

Yeah, 90's games are definitely scarier than modern games... :/

I am willing to ride the nostalgia train for a lot of topics, but I can't on this one.

Old games are a joke compared to what they have today, much more immersive atmosphere than what 2D could accomplish.

You were a kid when you played those games, and now you are an adult playing the new stuff. See the problem?

We're not talking about 2D...

Nostalgia is corrupting you, OP.

Amnesia is the ¨scariest¨ game.


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

Ehh, I think modern horror games are less scary only because of the amount of ridicolously scripted peekaboo scenes and because of the decreased difficulty.
