HOW DO WE SAVE THE HORROR GENRE?

Horror is fucking dead bros our last hope of 2019 failed us today. Man of Medan absolutely dogshit writing and acting with abismal cuts which makes the game unplayable. Blair Witch has big performance issues and the story is mediocre at best. How do you cope with your favorite genre going extinct?

Horror has always been and will always be trash.

Not when its done right

not worth saving

Fuck you, here's how.

1. Stop trying to make "scary games"
2. Make a good game
3. Center your game around horror elements
4. Take yourself 100% seriously.

You wouldn't

Just play Real Lives, that's the best existential horror you'll experience.
>start life
>your traits define your future
>unless you're really smart you won't amount to much
>finish studying and wageslave your way to a grave
>if you're ugly add in the die alone
>if you're an autistic weeb add in the die alone in japan while thinking of your waifu

>take yourself 100% seriously

Go play resident evil 4

MOMMY

Character banter doesn't mean the game isn't 100% serious about itself.

What about dark wood?

Games should focus more on nightmarish surrealism than outright horror.

Being alone in a strange place where nothing feels familiar is far more unsettling than typical "OH NO A MONSTER IS CHASING ME!" shit.

Loneliness is a fear that's deeper and more uncomfortable than anything else.

And yet no one ever seems to do it "right".
Funny, that.

By putting gameplay first and spooky scary skeletons second

"""horror""" games were never good to begin with, just like most horror films.

Your too old to be afraid anymore

Play Observation. It came out a few months ago and is great.

I bet none of you have played any horror games in years, so you shouldn't be talking about this subject.

>Not when it's done right

Wow, what a deep and well thought out counter point.

Play Observation. It has what you're looking for. Go in without any spoilers.

Blair Witch had a mega awesome finale
Fuck them technical issues tho.

Ive seen mostly streamers rip the game, but well, when you fucking retard constantly rip yourself out of the experience by being whacky and fun with the chat, no wonder you dont enjoy a narrative driven horror game.

Now this is some real spooky shit

what game?

>HOW DO WE SAVE THE HORROR GENRE
erotic horror

Sunless Sea have a really good horror feel, if the game was made into a captain-ship sim in FP in the same environment, it would be an amazing horror game.

Good world and creature design

Not just DUDE BLOOD LMAP BIG SCARY SCREAM MOUTH LMAO

looks like an asscreed, but not sure which one.

>that 45 minute slog through the house at the end, repeating rooms and hallways and staircases just to "witcher sense" your way through the repeptitive stealth sections while laughing at the shitty jump scares all the while picking up random peices of shit that you have no idea what they are or do but they decide what kind of ending you get? Nah bro, hard pass
