The first time with a jump scare, My adrenaline was so high that I had some sort of a panic attack and ended up shaking for like 20 minutes afterward. It's not a immigration of fear when you play VR games, It is real fear, none of thqt shifty feeling like from a film ot flat game byt shear, pure fear. I think thw chainsaw fight would have been the scariest but in instead of getting flight, I got fight.. still ended up shaking a little after the fight. There are no other films or games that have even come close to scaring me like this sense I was like 7 qnd watch the Exorsist qnd even that was just the look over your shoulder kind of fear. Re7 VR works your mind into thinking the situation is real and pumps your body full of adrinaline and that mixed with the horror settings and themes just blows all else out of the water. The difference is so massive that I just see other horror titles as normal, action adventures or walking sims, Especially flat game which I'll never play again. |
Oh man, for some reason I had forgotten about RE7. Yeah, RE7 totally wins in terms of being the scariest, but much of that has to do with how much technology has come, and how Capcom decided to go back to their roots with the series. What I found scariest with VR was how many of the jump scares are right in your face, and you can't always look away. I actually haven't finished the game yet, and only got as far as the second house with the "Saw-esque" brother character.
