hellnight, enemy zero (PC), dino crisis

This was a survival horror? How well does that work out for a licensed Genesis game?

>>3956730
>No Resident Evil or Silent Hill.
those, what you posted and this are the only 'retro survival horror' I can name or even think of. Was there any more?

I'm kinda hoping this thread will show me some good shit to play

>>3956747
It's got that signature spooky genesis music and haunting dark atmoshpere. Very overlooked, imo.

>>3956730

I always thought the Deception series technically counts as horror, although I've talked to people who consider it more of a "gothic action" deal.

>>3956893
This is not survival horror.

Isn't the second game more in the style of a Survival Horror? I remember playing it a decade and half ago...

>>3956730

aciton but very survival horror

space gun
was very horror me in arcade 90'

>>3956921

actually, it kinda is

>>3956752
>The only retro survival horror games I can think of are Resident Evil, Silent Hill and fucking Ant Attack on ZX Spectrum

>>3957198

That was...Vaguely horrifying.

Splatterhouse is Reverse Survival Horror, the monsters are trying to survive you

>>3957101
Damn good one anon, I was reminded of Spinal Breakers.

Try to think of another retro shooter where in the bad end your character decides to commit suicide.

You can't.

>>3957085
Survival horror literally means: horror game with exploration, item management, puzzles and not enough ammo (the last one is optional)
Splatter house is a horror themed beat em up/generic action game. Calling it sur i al horror is like calling castlevania a survival horror. It's just wrong.

Remember folks, not EVERY fucking game with a dark theme is automatically "survival horror".

Anyway:
>parasite eve 2
>deep fear
>soul of the samurai
>galerians
>fear effect (kind of)
>evil dead: hail to the king
>martian gothic
>countdown vampires
>vampire hunter d
>alone in the dark series
>clock tower (kind of)
>dino crisis

Sadly, most of the best survival horror games aren't retro, like kuon, haunting ground, fatal frame and others.

>>3957317
>>clock tower (kind of)
I'm not trying to split hairs here but if CLOCK TOWER isn't survival horror, full stop, then that's like saying [Your Preferred Hot Celebrity of the Female Sex] is a woman (kind of)

>>3956730
that scissorman fucker was way more terrifying than he had any right to be.

>>3957327
Could Clock Tower be considered the progenitor of the survival horror genre where you're all but helpless in a fight?

>people in the comments saying this was hilarious

i all but pissed myself in fear

>>3957368
It has a lot of the makings, but come on. compare it to games like resident evil amd aalone in the dark from a gameplay perspective, and they feel like different genres.
Thus, why i said "kind of". Like it or not, survival horror has a fairly specific gameplay style, and ct isn't a 100 percent match.

>>3957371
Me and my buddy still quote the acid bath line every now and then

>>3956756
I need to give some Sega games a try that aren't Sonic games. I'll keep this one in mind, so thanks.

>>3957187
Is that Deep Fear?

>>3956747
>This was a survival horror?

The controls man, those controls..

>>3957367

Just hearing the percussion fade in was enough to make my butthole clench.

>>3957371
it IS hilarious

>>3957483
ALLYSHAAA

I suspect Capcom to have bought the rights to Clock Tower only to ruin it with CT3 to kill the competition with Resident Evil.
Pic related.

I mean come on, then they made another Clock Tower game after this, and didn't even call it Clock Tower (Haunting Ground).

And to keep this post retro, I'd recommend the first real survival horror.

Funny how it got a reboot on the launch of the WiiU, but even that didn't help with the popularity and legacy of this game.

>>3957187
I was trying to imply I was also aware of Clocktower. Fully forgot about Deep Fear. Never played it, but I watched a longplay ages ago I think

but yeah I'm not at all well versed in survival horror. The term feels a little nebulous to me. I've played Waxworks a bunch(never beat it tho, should get to that) and while that's definitely horror I don't know if it counts as *survival* horror specifically.

oh! and alone in the dark! that one deffo counts

>>3956934
I'm too cool to be schooled

Clock Tower PS1 is a fun game but man, FUCK that slow-as-shit text crawl. Game is probably 40 minutes longer than it actually is thanks to that.

>>3956886

It's got the horror atmosphere down, but yeah, it really is more about you kicking ass all over the place. The series has gotten even more ridiculous as time has gone on - in the most recent entry, one of the stages is in a schoolyard playground.

>>3958485

True - but without that, you'd finish the game in under two hours.

happy walpurgis night, /vr/

that looks fucked, Ima check it out tonight

Calling Dino Crisis survival horror is... a stretch.

Respawning enemies makes it so it's absolutely not worth it to fight anything. That just turns the game into a run around simulator.

iirc the inventory management aspect is also significantly worse than Resident Evil.

It play like house of the dead1 ,you must cut all rim to slow them down befor cut their head.
Use backstep button to run and fire together.
If not you away lost your heal along stage ,because aliens are too strong .
I think Space gun are best aliens stye game then contra,sound effects and music are very scary me, to bad it not port to Nes Snes Md Ps1

I dunno man, that kid is creepy

Sweet Home is great.

Waxwork

Always loved Rule of Rose, Haunting Grounds and the Fatal Frame series, shame they ruined it on wiiu.
pic of my ps2 horror games minus RE and SH titles.

Juggernaut for the ps1

I wonder how many games there are to do a stream of every survival horror game. I think you could find some real gems but what defines survival horror? I think fix cameras vital but not everyone agrees on that.

>>3962484

A bit too slow for my taste, but I guess if you like games like Myst it's fine.

It hard to judge what game arn't survival horror.
Every scary theme game are not enough weapon and heal,small puzzle to pass stage or boss or recure
hostage,very hard control to fightback monster.
Even RE1 who first of name survival horror are very be actiongame for me.zombe are funny to kill by knife and shotgun.
