--- Quote from: cynicalmatt on December 26, 2014, 11:13:02 PM ---Oh man, Alien Isolation is easily my favorite game of 2014. Admittedly, I am biased because of my undying love of the film, but I have NEVER been so scared playing a game in my life. The feeling of tension and terror was so strong in that game. --- End quote --- Sounds to me like you've never played the PS4 exclusive P.T. (Playable Teaser) demo. My tolerance for horror games is exceptionally high having been playing horror games since I was really young. I constantly seek out games that claim to be scary but in most cases end up being disappointed that they never turn out to be as scary as they say. But P.T. literally made me feel truly uncomfortable to be in my own skin (a feeling I haven't felt in years playing a video game) and was mostly due to being dropped in game with absolutely no explanation as to where you are or what is going on. Truly atmospheric and mysterious. And having played this, I almost feel like my tolerance has only increased having played it now (damnit!). It would be awesome to see a horror game come completely out of nowhere with absolutely nothing to go off. Where the mystery and unknown is what purely drives the game giving you a much more authentic experience. That being said, I'm playing though Isolation myself right now on PS4 (I've never seen any of the movies unfortunately) and I'm still totally impressed! Great survival horror game for anyone interested in these types of games. Although I cant say at any point have I felt nervous or uneasy during my experience up to this point. But that's just me... |

I thought pt was awful. First time through the corridor felt a little creepy,, then it just got ridiculous. Outlast scared me way more than that. To the point I actually switched off. I don't like first person games at the best of times, and the atmosphere and adrenaline in that game pushed me too far. |

I honestly can't find movies or games that scare me. It actually kinda bothers me that they don't scare me. What I don't like is the gross factor. People act like that makes a scary movie when it really doesn't. Anyway. I really like The Evil Within. Gameplay is pretty good. I just haven't beaten it yet due too this thing called work and life. |

There's a sliding scale where the more capable your character is, the less scary the game is. Oh well, I like 'creepy action games'. I too will vouch for The Evil Within. |

I'm looking forward to playing it. Mikami is a master of his art, and I think this project will give us something less constrained than the resident evil series. |
