About 50% of the atmosphere in each of those games comes from the sound.

I took your advice and just purchased the three Fatal Frames. Hopefully, I haven't been too spoiled by the graphics of the PS3 games. Anyway, just wanted to say thanks for the heads up.Bronsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15627685731804765040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283652853956268778.post-19040252321715303842008-10-31T22:10:00.000-05:002008-10-31T22:10:00.000-05:00http://pc.ign.com/articles/925/925179p1.html^ IGN'...http://pc.ign.com/articles/925/925179p1.html<BR/><BR/>^ IGN's 13 scariest games of this generation<BR/><BR/>I haven't even played many of the games on that list.

With RE4, the best atmospheric areas to me were the Village and then the Regenerator rooms at the Island, which leaves out a good chunk of the game. The Verdugo fight was great also. Don't get me wrong, RE4 was a great game gameplaywise and its a very memorable RE game overall, but I'd still rank it just about the lowest in the series on an overall horror feel.<BR/><BR/>The way that Leon acted at most points also took away from the overall sense of fear in the game. He was way too much of an action movie star in that game and to me, his attitude got ridiculous at some points. I'm hoping they don't make Chris like that in RE5. Sure Chris had his moments in other RE's but his attitude wasn't completely overdone. I'm expecting some really wild Wesker vs Chris fights in RE5 though. :D<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the comments Nish. The school stage in the original Silent Hill is still pretty creepy because of the infant's.Berserkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11445111770790127212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283652853956268778.post-52661201780473351112008-10-31T04:01:00.000-05:002008-10-31T04:01:00.000-05:00Yah RE4 = "not scary", but i thought you're select...Yah RE4 = "not scary", but i thought you're selecting the "top horror games" not the "scariest games"? :psephirosuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06944876986896895699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283652853956268778.post-71490002029069125032008-10-30T13:49:00.000-05:002008-10-30T13:49:00.000-05:00A nicely written up list.I'm a real wuss when it c...A nicely written up list.<BR/><BR/>I'm a real wuss when it comes to the Horror genre so it's not something I dip into that often bar the RE and SH series.<BR/><BR/>I actually felt physically ill just playing the Silent Hill demo. The sound, the camera angles and those - quite frankly - terrifying, filmy-looking infants with knives made my stomach churn. When I eventually played the entire game (actually only a few years ago) I found myself relating to the protagonist who could only mumble "Why?" at some of the gruesome sights.<BR/><BR/>I did buy one of the Fatal Frames but I didn't play for long and it was exactly for the reason you mentioned. I should really pluck up the courage and re-buy.Nishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06769960067115052951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283652853956268778.post-60771290055843417092008-10-30T13:13:00.000-05:002008-10-30T13:13:00.000-05:00Kuon was just as scary as a Fatal Frame/Project Ze...Kuon was just as scary as a Fatal Frame/Project Zero game really, but to me, that game had a major flaw in length, and I don't usually mind a short game. It was so very short though. I couldn't help but think, "That is it!?" by the end of the game. It was quite scary though.<BR/><BR/>With RE4, I don't consider it that scary really. Most of the tension in that game is drawn from enemies piling up rather than actual creepy stuff. Oven man was about the only part that startled me a bit. I had my shotgun ready for him the first time through though, since I was expecting something. But yeah, I don't really consider RE4 or UC scary.<BR/><BR/>Rule of Rose has too good of a story not to mention.<BR/><BR/>Although that is a good price for IU, I'd wait if I were you, Brian. It's not good to have too many RPG's at one time, especially with the onslaught of games to come. That is the first RPG since FFXII that I have felt the need to fully (well, most of the way) complete. I never did beat the final boss. :p<BR/><BR/>I'd recommend keeping a check on Gamefly.com. They'll eventually put up a used copy for a really good price most likely. If you've never bought from them, then you get everything in like new condition with some minor scuffs on the game disc sometimes. I just got Haze and Lost Planet (PS3) in the mail from them for $9.99 and $12.99 respectively - free shipping too!<BR/><BR/>The voice acting problem in IU is kind of "on and off" bad, or maybe... I was just getting used to it. Haha. :pBerserkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11445111770790127212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283652853956268778.post-10388349831188772022008-10-30T11:32:00.000-05:002008-10-30T11:32:00.000-05:00BTW, just read your review on Infinite Undiscovery...BTW, just read your review on Infinite Undiscovery. Very helpful! :D Right now Amazon has a 50% off deal on it for 30$ but I wanted to check 'round before picking it up. I'm sure it'd be worth it on some levels but the bad localization is something I can't stand in any game (I love the Mega Man Battle Network/Star Force gameplay, for example, but their localization was done by a 6 year old otaku, I swear). Besides, these coming weeks are going to go nuts with games... And I haven't even touched Star Ocean yet!Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08274232327749685671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283652853956268778.post-2483580220238443532008-10-30T00:50:00.000-05:002008-10-30T00:50:00.000-05:00Yay, Rule of Rose gets a mention!

If no mistake, it was the first horror game that the enemy can chase you over a serveral rooms without loading?<BR/><BR/>Btw, no RE4 in your list?sephirosuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06944876986896895699noreply@blogger.com
