How do we fix japanese horror genre?
less body horror, more tension
You don't, japanese developers are too fixated on sexuality and forcing softcore porn and fetishes to appeal to weebs and otaku to ever actually make an environment that can be taken seriously, let alone induce fear.
Keiichiro Toyama (the creator of Silent Hill, Forbidden Siren and Gravity Rush) gave an interesting insight into it a few years ago.
>"I've worked on horror for a long time," he replied, "so whenever I work on something different, I can't help but come up with new horror-oriented ideas. So I'd like to make another horror game someday, but the thing is, unlike in the past, I think it's become kind of hard to make horror games. To some extent, horror is a good match for the 'B' genre, in terms of taking advantage of low budgets for the maximum return and maximum quality. However, we're now in an environment where B-grade titles are simply being priced out of the retail-software market. I think making a pure horror AAA console title is going to be really difficult going into the future. Instead, if I have a chance to make something like Journey that you can complete in two or three hours, but still offers an intense horror experience, I'd love to try that."
More body horror, less tension.
Get Nintendo to make Eternal Darkness 2, not even kidding. If Nintendo has a really critically successful game, everyone else in the industry will copy it in attempt to mimic it's success
make walking simulators with loud sounds popping out of nowhere from time to time.
More sexuality and softcore porn and less serious and fear inducing environments.
How are the Fatal Frame games?
In all honesty he did a good job in Gravity Rush. The game is cute and all but there's an underlying horror/tension throughout the entire game.
Something like forbidden siren 1 and 2
jesus fuck the whole game just fucking scary
Add jumpscares and hyper realistic eyes
Okay I'll bite, what's this?
We don't. Japanese horror is like your baby's first Asian horror. Other Asian countries like Taiwan and Indonesia are on another level when it comes to the horror genere.
Woah what the fuck, the guy who made Gravity Rush also made Silent Hill? No wonder it was so soulful.
FUCK ASIAN HORROR MOVIES
To this day shit like sadako or any long haired woman covering their entire face while wearing that long ass white dress freaks me the fuck out, if I see that shit in the middle of the road while i'm driving i'm fucking killing myself.
Yes. Gravity Rush is by Sony Japan Studio's Project Siren division, which was formed by a few original members of Team Silent.
remove women characters from it
What is this from
>Taiwan
Detention was a fun little 2 hour time killer.
we let them do their own thing because the west has forgotten how to make good video games
/r/ing Taiwanese and Indonesian horror movies and games
For games both Devotion and Detention are very good.
More spooky long haired girl.
More cute girls slowly being transformed into beings of pure light
Japs are afraid of Jenga?
>very good.
Lies, they;re alright. Nothing special, though. Extremely short, too.
