/vr/ - Retro Games

for fuck's sake just play it. it's still fucking good

>>5744962
not as scary as your moms butthole

>>5744962
Hell yeah and arguably the best horror game ever made. I wish it controlled as fluid as SH 2 and 3 though.

I remember trying to play 3 in the pitch dark as a teenager and couldn't do it.

This hidden gem aged very well... its retro feel is objectively not badly designed or overrated.

>>5744994
if ps2 emu was better on linux I would be playing 3 right now

Can generation Z literally be scared by anything? They've been threatened by pure ethnic replacement, but they haven't said shit.

>>5744962
It's the scariest horror game I've ever played, but I don't have much experience with the genre outside of early Resident Evil. It's much scarier than the second game at least, and people dickride that game pretty hard (still a great game, though).

>>5745025
So what's scarier in your zoomer mind—a video game or being demographically displaced by niggers?

Kill yourself, jew.

Ah, heres the /vr/ i know and love

>>5745038
And you're a fucking jew. /vr/ was never meant to be a racial battleground, but you did it, jew.

>>5745036
I've leave that to you. There remain only a few loose ends to tie up, and then the struggle in which we have been engaged for thousands of years against the filthy goyim finally will be victorious, and we will be able to devour everything they have created, as Yahweh, the god of our tribe, has commanded us!

>>5745041
I just wanted to talk about spooks friendo

>>5745050
>friendo

Certainly from a technical standpoint.

>>5745015
>>>/pol/

Yeah it is. I like the superimposition of detailed prerendered textures over this foggy lo-fi world. It's not something outright terrifying but certainly constantly unnerving.

>>5745247
>muh boogeyman
Everyone who isn't a jew wants you to die.

>>5744994
I had to really work myself up to do 2, but one was always too much. I haven't attempted to play it in the last ten years though, so maybe I should go back and try.

I think a lot of the fear in these kinds of games comes entirely from our out of game perception, such as other people hyping it up to be scary or ourselves considering it to be scary without actually playing it. When you tell yourself it's not really a big deal, then you wind up breezing through everything without a care in the world.

>>5745025
Go play Outlast. Any game where you can effectively fight back can't possibly be scary.

silent hill games (well the first three and maybe the fourth to an extent) are just really good at making you feel uncomfortable
They just have a way of getting under my skin so I never feel "welcome" even during replays. As a kid I'd play RE games to relax and shoot some zombies, but SH never made me feel relaxed. It and games like it are the ultimate anti-comfy games (and that's a good thing)

>oh no! That flying thing is after me again!
>better not stop running!
Yeah. Those streets sure are more scary than they are annoying.

>>5745752
>oh no, this game isn't a walking simulator like my zoomer horror games

>>5745752
You don't need to run, you can just kind of move around at your own pace and ignore them.

>>5744994
3 had the harshest environments and the least breathing room, it keeps the tension on for so long your nerves are shot when you finish it and you're rewarded with the most melancholy ending of all of them. you dont even get a little baby dad as a condolence

>>5745765
yeah, during the nightmare church I started feeling like my mind was under assault

>>5745765
I finished it for the first time not that long ago and it left an impression, I kept thinking about it for weeks

>>5745754
>muh zoom zoom boogeyman
literally not an argument
>>5745758
My bad. Point is they're not scary, just annoying.

>>5745781
I think the only scary enemy in the first game are the little kids, and that's only because they tend to be obfuscated by the camera when you enter a room and then suddenly they're all over you.

>>5744962
The only scary things are the controls.

Sound design is the most important aspect of a horror game and the psx's jump to cd made it so any great horror game will age well. Just turn off the lights and turn the sound up and Silent Hill 1 is as scary as any other game in the series.

>>5746128
You can kill the fuck out of anything you encounter. That's not scary at all.

>>5746140
>Dino Crisis 1
>You can barely kill half the extremely strong dinosaurs on hard
>MUH SURBIBAL HORRUR memesters didn't play it because of it being considered a "RE clone" and with "shit graphics" at the time.
>Still talk shit of it to this day

Yeah it's pretty spooky still if you've never experienced it before. Hell for some people how crunchy the graphics look might even up the spook factor. I personally still think that the sewer areas in the first SH game are fucking oppressive.

>>5746140
Wow, you can kill the enemies? What horrible game design. There's different difficulties for a reason.

>>5746161
But in Silent Hill 1 it's possible to lay waste to every enemy that isn't a perpetually spawning pterodactyl, even in hard difficulty, anon. He's kinda right.

>>5745579
Wrong. Depleting resources is what keeping you on edge. In Outlast, you are either running away or dead. No inbetween. There is no tension.

>>5745781
>Point is they're not scary, just annoying.
It's a shame that there's nothing else in the game, right? Only streets where you can avoid everything. If only they tried to put your character indoors...

>>5746170
Oh shit, you're right. Good job, autist.

>>5746148
I still haven't played it, specifically because of what you mentioned. I've played through every mainline RE (and most spinoffs) except Zero and REmake 2. Should I finally give DC a shot?

>>5746161
It's a good game, it's just not scary.

>>5746212
Why would anyone be scared of a video game? Do zoomers understand that there aren't actually little monsters living behind their monitor screen?

now that there is a silent hill thread, i have a question
what do i need to run, cue or bin?

I would say the first 3 games were creepy. Not scary. Each game had its creepy area. One had the final area, two had the underground prison and three had that creepy bossfight with that thing in the mall (but I wouldn't call any area in the game itself creepy). Even four had that giant head towards the end of the game.

I thought two was the best though, all the weird erotic undertones and shieet.

None of the SH games are scary.
They have 10/10 atmosphere tho so give it a go.

>>5746458
I like it more for the chill, introspective soundtrack. You can feel the characters mourning loss, grieving and dealing with guilt and I think that's really beautiful.

>now that there is a silent hill thread, i have a retarded and completely unrelated question
Very cool. Very based.

>>5746372
it's Silent Hill, running is better

Reminds me of a homosexual I once nibbled. He tasted a little queer, but then, so did I. I'm here all week, folks. Unfortunately for you. FNEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRGGGH!

>>5746513
thanks for helping me figure out how to properly emulate this game
very cool, very based

>>5746547
cheeky

>>5746582
YOU FAT PIECE OF SHIT
YER NOTHIN' BUT A WASTE OF SKIN

i'm sorry silent hill got sold to bad developers everybody

>>5744967
fpbp

>>5745008
It's only a hidden gem for zoomers like you. People actually alive when it came out still remember it as an awesome game.

>>5746891
Thats obviously a bait post

>>5744962
I played it for the first time in 2018 and was blown away. Disturbing imagery and music to go with it. Like when you see those hunched over nurses for the first time. I was like "what is that.. what the fuck?!"

it's a great game.
very unique experience, the sequels don't even do what it does really.
this game is in a weird place, i don't really think it can be remade and have the same effect because it really makes use of all of the things that would seem like a disadvantage in another game like the honestly ruddy graphics.

>>5747816
I like that every sequel did something different (except 3)

>>5744962
>Implying anything fictional is scary in 2019

>>5747972
Hard to disagree with that.

>>5745010
You could try running the Windows version under Wine or something.

>>5744962
It was scary up until three weeks ago, but then its PBD (Play Before Date) expired.

>>5746372
>what do i need to run, cue or bin?
Yes.
Literally.
