anybody play survival horror games like resident evil and silent hill. even possible Alone in the Dark.
I played a couple of the Silent Hills and a few of the Resident Evil games. I haven't played any of the new ones though.
I honestly can't call the later Resident Evil games Survival Horror. I do play Eternal Darkness a lot and other psychological horrors. Does the original Splatterhouse count?

yyyaaaaaaaa, when i say resident evil i mean 1-3 and code veronica-x. eternal darkness is good but i never have heard of splatterhouse
Look up an emulated copy of Splatterhouse. They are also remaking it now to be re released in October as a halloween release. Old horror games, yeah I don't know all that many. I played NES until about a year after N64 came out.
ya nes, mario and duck hunt on one cartridge :birdy:
What about Clocktower?
nope sorry
Eternal Darkness FTW
I LOVE Silent Hill! I'm currently playing Origins and Homecoming on and off when I have time. I still need to get Shattered Memories for the Wii/Ps2 so I can have the collection current and complete <3 I also have most of the Resident Evil games. I really loved the first one ( I'd always hit the first zombie and die instantly...every time..) and number 4 is also one of my faves. WESKER! ..though I like Alfred Ashford more..ha!
Though I must say that Siren, Clive Barker's Jericho and Condemned 2: Bloodshot are some of the scariest games I have ever owned/played in my life!!! I know they're not old school..but they are still awesome.
I'll be checking out the remake of Splatterhouse for the Ps3 when it comes out.
DONT GET SHATTERD MEMORIES!!!!!!!!! :o :o :o
i have played it and it sucks compared to the other silent hills. the only it is better is the massive mind fuck it gives you at the end of the game.
played all the Resident evils cept for zero because gamecube games are rare XD and I played only silent hill 2 ;3 thought the silent hill series is the scariest survival horror out there.
I play all the games like that, and the game that inspired most of them DooM.
and RE4 is a survival horror game from a different perspective, and its got more combat, but keeps in the spirit of the first three games. RE5 sucks balls though, can't see any attempt at being like the classics.

Oh god SS2. Oh the (partially repressed) memories...
Also if you want a really good Survival Horror game, get Afraid of Monsters: Directors Cut. It's an old Half-Life mod, and it reminds you of just how scary the old half-life engine could be!

YES! This is one of the most frightening things I have played, and I would highly recommend it to all survival-horror fans! ;D

I'm shamed to say I have never been past the hospital level! Freaks me out worse than Amnesia does.
everyone needs to try You Are Empty, its from Russia and REALY well made for the budget.

Is there a version that runs on source? I only have Half Life 2 :C
I'm surprised no-one has mentioned the Fatal Frame (Project Zero) series. Fight for your life against vengeful spirits with only a camera. Scares abound!

Agreed. I find transparent ghosts and spirits more frightening than physical monsters.

Unfortunately no, the game runs on the old HL engine, not on source. :C
I'm finding Alan Wake to be pretty good, its all about being scary and not so much about the combat. about 40% of the fights can be avoided by running into a light, and the poltergeists are scary but fun to deal with. By far I think its the best survival Horror since 2010, it took a step back to why fans liked the genre in the PS1 days.
Save your bullets and play on hardest my friends.

Mmmm I love that game~ It was very atmospheric throughout, but the only part of the game that scared me really was the beginning, when you have NO idea what the hell is going on. Still a great game though<3 They had a great formula for atmospheric horror and it just worked so well.

Alan Wake was amazing yet so underrated, a lot of it's sales figures were due to a poorly timed release date (alongside Red Dead Redemption).
The game's atmosphere was tremendous, and the story telling was very well done. I myself would recommend it to those looking for a
different horror experience, by way of the game being able to convey such tension without resorting to buckets of blood. Such is a feature that is largely unheard of in the survival horror genre as of late.
If your looking for Stephen King in game format, then this is your game.
Resident Evil 4.
You may feel free to shoot me. :P But that game is awesome.
...Would Killer7 count?

Res E 4 was epic, half survival horror, half action game. good in its own right, but strayed from the roots of what made the series so popular in the first place. last good Resident Evil game, RE5 is not scary at all.
RE5 is not only not scary at all, it has the shittiest, most contrived story I've ever seen from any of the games. Yeah, the plot for the first game was cheesey as hell (mainly due to the voice acting and english script) But the game still was built to have tension. RE5 was...well...punching boulders...with your bare hands...yeah...I think that about sums the game up
It was mentioned earlier, but Clocktower for the SNES...
Oh god, that scared me sooo much @.@
They got the mood and the tension just right >.<
I don't think I ever beat it with a good ending~ X3
And the other Clocktowers are pretty good too~ :3
For PS1 and the like~ X3
But yeah, I'd recommend taking a look at Clocktower with an emulator or something~ :3
I love Clock Tower!!!!! Such a classic~!

Only the one on SNES. The other ones, was a huge fail, especially the one they did of the first one on psx remake... they butchered that one horribly...

Thankfully my opinion of the game has not been sullied by...that.

I saw Resident Evil 5 in a bargain bin for 12$ at wallmart, said to my self "Man thats over priced".
Don't look forward to RE6 either, its the same game as RE5 with some new areas and recycled everything.

I kinda enjoyed watching someone LP it X3
Clock tower... IV... I think.. "SNIPPY SNAP!" So scary! -giggles-
It was more jump-scares mixed with horrid camera that was scary..
Oh, and the bosses... what were they thinking!? >.<
It's just a game of pattern and redundancy :/
To draw the game out ~3 hours....
The original.. -shudders- >.<
EDIT - I have it on my DS-flash cart-SNES emulator.... but I'm too timid to play .w.

I am so ashamed to say that I bought it at full price when it came out, it was okay for co-op play. But had zero replay value.
well, i recently got my paws on a copy of silent hill in perfect condition, and god damnit i had a hard time sleeping after i got to the school the first time..... it really builds tension for sure
played the resident evil series and the silent hill series
as far as new survival horror games dead space was pretty sweet :D
still haven't played the second one though >.<
