Fog. Corridors. dark enviroments. Small rooms..... back in the time of the PS1 and PS2 these may have been tricks used to eek out performance from weak hardware. But they resulted in some of the best horror and atmospheric games ever. One would have thought that with these way more powerful consoles horror would have been a genre rediscovered..... but nooooooooo, we are getting action flick after action flick.
RE1, RE2, RE4, Silent hill 1&2, Fatal Frame, Parasite eve, even dino crisis all managed to capture an atmosphere that at leat kept you on edge eveey second you played the game.That just somehow all got lost.
I remeber fatal frame (at least one of them) left me with so much drrad that i jusy snapoed and didnt bother to keeo playing. Like fuck that, not gonna put myself through this torture..... the few days i played the game i actualky felt depressed and like there was some kimda weight on my shoulders.
Who else here wishes we can get some really decent, slow paced horror games again? I mean come on, in the whole of silent hill 1&2 we probabky didnt hsve to kill more than 25 enemies. Belive it or not.... but that was enough to leave anyone scared shitless.
