waaah zoomers

>seethes over new thing
thanks for proving my point

I posted it in the last thread we had about it, more uncanny valley inducing monsters and creatures. There is an excess of horror games where you just walk around building tension for a shitty payoff and I'm tired of it. Give me a horrifying monster that I need to actively work to escape.

We need to go back to shitty jumpscares.

Bring the fixed camera back.

> ban jumpscares
> ban adding enemies without the ability to fight them

Reminder there's no scary horror game in existence that doesn't have at least one Jumpscare in it.

There's a huge difference between what SH1 does with the locker and what your typical "youtube friendly" horror games are based on.

Ok, retard, but what isn't different between those is that they're both jumpscares.

Cry of fear

Yeah, but one is a single occurrence and executed well and the other is a basis for the whole gameplay.

Bring back dead space pleaze

From The Darkness was Soviet apartment schizo-kino though. If it lasted more than 2 hours it would've been 10/10.

What's the best jumpscare? In games or other media

Two things I would like to see explored again are the sanity effects and gruesome deaths from Adventure Soft games.

This is completely aping the design of old games though. It feels like a AA game from 2003.

The actual video will scar you

it was a pretty good atmospheric horror series until the most recent episode
The terrible acting took away any kind of horror

I'll stop now, but the genre is fine. There are tons of good games to play.
