How do we fix the horror genre?

I think we have more than enough zombie apocalypse survival horror

Krypt Killer (Henry Explorers) actually scared me back in the day. The parts when you reach a fork in the road as you progress and that giant face appears telling you to make a decision was always very unsettling to me

Put some actual depressed near-suicidal motherfuckers to make the game.

>dev actually was sent to a mental hospital years after making the game

Now THAT's KINO.

Over the top gore and comedy. Only five year olds and women are scared of horror, so serious horror games and movies are a waste of effort.

Turn this into a video game.

Damn I usually don't give a fuck about most things posted in these threads but that one is pretty good. Activates some primal human disgust

truly revolutionary opinion, user! based!

Retard thinks you just follow a recipe to make a good game

ayy lmao horror has never been done right in any media except for books.

Worst case of Gamer neck I've ever seen.

Which juon is this?

Utter hopelessness and emotional devastation is the truest form of horror

Limited saves with loss of progress / other punishments for losing. You want the player psychologically stressed. Limited resources.

It was ok.

How am I the only one put off by how shitty this looks? They didn't even fucking try to cover it up with shadow, or a far angle, or even just covering it with dirt or some shit. Just an extended close up of how shitty the plastic looks.

I will never understand why this movie gets fellated the way it does. It’s slightly above average at best and just ok at worst.

Put more surreal artwork into games meant to unnerve the player. Then call it horror.

yup, this.

What the fuck is "atmosphere"? The time in between jump scares? Its the fear that something will break the peace that evokes horror and that breaks needs to come else you'll just get blueballed. A good horror makes use both jump scare and the lead up to it.

Get a gun
Bullets don't work

So which unkillable super forever curse stumbling lady won?

More head fuckery

>What the fuck is "atmosphere"?
I refuse to believe anyone who's not underage would struggle with this. See Silent Hill 1-4 for what atmosphere is.

only a horror game for americans.

All of those games had jumpscares.

Put the stakes back in it
And I don’t mean losing a hand in a scripted event
Make ammo scarce so you’re forced to make shots count
Make damage more meaningful by making it harder to recover from
Bring back the intensity through over whelming scenarios that are still possible to overcome
Horror games now are the equivalent of haunted houses the illusion is lost once you realize nothing can actually touch you

the only way it could be actually scary is if it was an online game but it was never stated as such and the "ai" were actual players
obviously that isn't going to work because it would be a violation of privacy rights or some shit

Make a game where you play as a baby and the monster is a pitbull

It wouldn't work because that's a monumentally retarded idea that'd be ruined the first time you come across a monster teabagging a random object.

No-one said anything about no jumpscares. Those games had the bare minimum of jump scares, as well. There was no "time in between the jump scares" because they were used effectively.

you wouldn't know if its bugging out or not

It's impossible. Once you realize the stakes are fake it just turns into tedium and it's just an inventory management game.
You fear what you don't know or what can kill you. Videogames can't kill you.

No jump scares. Just forever slowly building jump scares and things you barely see around corners or moving. No insta-kills, that gives you too much time to see and process, because they're always "le cinematic monster drags you around for 10 seconds" shit.

No direct shots of carnage or overly bloody anything, gore isn't scary, people are desensitized as fuck to stuff like that, plus the key is to leave things to the imagination. The less you show, the more curiosity and fear blooms.

If anything attacks you, it should always be fast and relatively veiled by the terrain, be it shadow, fog, holes in the wall, whatever. The key is to never show anything but the barest glimpses and to forever keep the pressure on, with occasional respite so as to not be too exhausting or build up too much resistance to "scary shit".

The babby knows that if it lies still and plays dead its natural predator the pitbull which sees by movement will not attack

A very smart babby indeed

Sounds like shit

Make a better game then, faggot.

They fused and became a super ghost. The end.

I don't know if you're lying, but it sounds retarded enough to be true.

I've played all those games when I was young. Silent Hill 2 was my comfort game growing up, that I was always played to put me in a good mood. Non of those games are remotely scary.

I don't know, the thought of being separated from reality for what could possibly be forever is pretty terrifying to me.

and there was this OC donut steel super powered duo who looked like they came out of Persona

But jump scare mania games are? Please

>What the fuck is "atmosphere"? T
>An atmosphere is a layer of gas or layers of gases that envelope a planet, and is held in place by the gravity of the planetary body. A planet retains an atmosphere when the gravity is great and the temperature of the atmosphere is low.
Wow so hard to google.

Also one girl uploaded the Ring video to Youtube so that millions of people would see the video and have the Sadako curse. She didn't really have a reason to do this, she just kind of did it.

no clue why but this made me jump like a motherfucker, actually let out a sound

Never said those were either, just that the idea of jump scares being removed from horror is a naive notion. A good horror needs that's surprise element else you'll grow complacent in its settings. The issue with newer horror games that completely rely on jump scares is that that's all you have. There's no real build up to create dread, it's just nothing until boom. Then you'll grow complacent to jump scares. A good horror game will have you fluctuating between dreading both what's to come and the moment in between.

I have a family member who does nothing but smoke weed and watch horror movies all day. He is the dumbest motherfucker I know, and his ignorance about just about everything would make even the most die hard /pol/ schitzo blush with jealousy that anyone could be this fucking stupid and not actually be mentally retarded.

So my opinion of horror movies is thusly, very low, given every part of them I see is through the lens of this dumb motherfucker watching this trash non-stop, every day. And shit like this just seems to confirm to me they're for absolute brainlets.

unironically more games like that one farm level in slender the arrival

make it athmospheric and about exploration

Make more focus on a strong linear storytelling, maybe with little stealth segments where you try to avoid the monster. Add in unexpected jumpscares to spice up the rhythm.

Not enough actual mysterious horror
make some shit in like egypt or wild west that way you can make up what ever the fuck you want and not rely on techno babble unless it's alien shit
