    So every year I say I’m going to play through at least one scary game and never do.

    This year I’ve picked the games and I’m going to stick to it.

    Dead Space - on 360
    And
    ZombiU - on Wii U

    Both seem to be short enough to make this a plausible venture especially with Blops 4 releasing soon.

    What are ye going for?

    For me, it's Bloodborne.

    I picked it up on sale around this time last year and was hooked. I think it's my GOAT. I played right through Halloween to early January and decided to shelve it until next Halloween.

    So I'll go back to that and work on getting the Platinum. I'm just 3 trophies away.

    Dead Space isn't particularly scary after 30 minutes.

    I didn't play much of it but that most recent Res Evil was crazy and I still haven't completed Alien Isolation (which is a game that has made me clench muh buttocks something fierce at times).

    I have a copy of Eternal Darkness:Sanity's Requiem sitting on the shelf I might dust down for some spookums time.

    Maybe I’ll start with ZombiU so.

    I’m trying to play the games I have instead of buying more. These two have say unplayed for so long now.

    The other contender is Outlast which I did start but I found that scary as **** so if I’m honest I stopped.

    Dead Space had a lot of tension, I found. Not so much scary than "Oh crap, is something going to come out here?" But I think you'll enjoy it as a horror, apart from one section.

    I plan on playing some horror games as well and now this thread just reminds me I have more than I thought. I have Outlast, Alien Isolation, Amnesia, ZombiU, Fatal Frame games, Resi Evil games, Eternal Darkness and more.
    Think I might start with Fatal Frame 2 on Wii.

    Resident Evil Remake for me.


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,611 ✭✭✭✭ERG89


    Until Dawn and Walking Dead season 1. Might play Resident Evil remake before 2 in January too.


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,456 ✭✭✭✭Skerries


    I played Resident Evil: Revalations last year and so I am going to play the sequel this year and also RE 7 as well
    I see ZombiU mentioned as well and I have an untouched copy of that for PS4 which I might break open if I get around to it


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,506 ✭✭✭Doctor Nick


    I have the RE HD collection there. Played the first so might try Zero again (started it but wasn't mad about it due to the Co op). Might also reconnect the VR and play RE7 again.

    Might play through Until Dawn again, had great fun with it last year

    Silent hill 2, survival / psychological horror at its absolute finest


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 51,410 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    Might try and give Sweet Home and Clock Tower a go this year.

    I’ve tried to get into this a couple of time but it just didn’t click with me. I know I should give it another go.

    Condemned was a fairly unnerving game, never played the sequel though, heard it was sh1t...

    Was on 360 and think they released it on PS3 & PC after...


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,451 ✭✭✭✭TheValeyard


    Emily Wants to Play

    All Eyes On Rafah



  • Registered Users Posts: 14,526 ✭✭✭✭Darkglasses


    Can anyone recommend a horror game for 360 that has a good coop mode?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,846 ✭✭✭✭Liam McPoyle


    The Evil Within is a smashing game and the spider lady is scary as funk.

    Resi 7 is also super scary.


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,409 ✭✭✭✭gimli2112


    I liked Evil Within 2 a lot more for some reason probably because it was easier. I couldn't do Resi 7, too scary, can't even imagine doing it in VR.

    I'd give Dead Space a go op really enjoyed it back in the day. It's got great atmosphere.


  • Registered Users Posts: 20,558 ✭✭✭✭dreamers75


    R6Siege solo.



    Its a ****ing scary place.


  • Registered Users Posts: 19,748 ✭✭✭✭Osmosis Jones


    I loved the opening to The Evil Within but got a bit bored when it became too much of a shooter.

    For me, either Costume Quest or Resident Evil: Revelations.

    Distinctly remember Condemned giving me the biggest jump scare I've ever had while playing games. Controller literally jumped out of my hands.

    I have a few horror games i need to play from my shelves but ill be focusing on Haunting Ground, Kuon and Rule of Rose.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,456 ✭✭✭The high horse brigade


    Amnesia: The Dark Descent or Penumbra: The Black Plague, needed 5.1 or headphones, lots of bass and a dark room to hop the living sh1t out of you

    I was playing terrorist hunt the other night. The rest of team left, I didn’t get a chance to leave and all of a sudden it’s me against the bots on hard mode. I was like oh o.

    It didn’t end well.

    RE7 in VR has got to be one of the most intense gaming experiences of my life. Nothing quite as terrifying as being chased by a madman with a chainsaw. I'm not a fan of first person view games so I wouldn't have played it normally. It's an experience I'd recommend to all.

    I can't play it like that, its horrible :D


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 23,183 Mod ✭✭✭✭Kiith


    I'll clear Amnesia this year...hah, no chance.

    Might give Outlast a go. It's been on my list for a while now.


  • Registered Users Posts: 29,842 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    My dream is to play RE7 in VR. I'd buy it again if I could even get a loan of the vr headset, pity you can't hire it.

    I highly recommend playing Until Dawn if ye haven't, such a fun game.

    Also if ye can get a group of friends, Friday 13th (now a ps plus game) is a great laugh.

    In alien isolation I was afraid to try and explore areas as the alien wouldn't take long to find you. really had me on edge for most of it , they built class environments but you missed good chunks of it due to fear to explore , class game .
