So I absolutely adore classic Resident Evil style survival horror. The gameplay, the atmosphere, all of it. I don't know what it is, but something about them just activate my almonds.
I've played all the RE and Silent Hills, and Koudelka, Parasite Eve 1 and 2, Eternal Darkness, and Vampire Hunter D. Besides those, /vr/os, are there any good or great PSX/PS2/Xbox/Gamecube survival horrors worth playing? Or good modern spiritual successors?

Dino Crisis
Deep Fear
Chaos Break
Galerians

>> No.10604707

You could always try Onimusha (and Genma Onimusha) but it's like Dino Crisis 2, it's an action game, not survival. It's still a great game.

The truth there just isn't that many good games in this genre. I've tried, I've searched, most things are subpar at best. Sorry to disappoint but outside of the big names, a game like Vampire Hunter D, which is good but not great, is the best you'll find.

If you're okay with First-Person survival horror - there's Call of Cthulhu.
It's on Xbox. But I'd recommend the PC version on GOG.
Playing with keyboard and mouse feels more immersive.

Alone in the Dark on Dreamcast, iirc it was also on Ps1

I tried Deep Fear, but couldn't get it to run in emulation. Granted this was back when I first got my 'eck so I may have fucked something up? Or is it known to have issues with emulation?
I'll look into Galerians, though, I remember hearing of that as a kid. And yeah, derp, I played Dino Crisis 1 and 2 a lot.

you seriously haven't played this one?

but if you want the originators, the ones responsible for the whole shebang, you should probably play Alone in the Dark and Ecstatica.

Depends on how low quality you want to go and how married you are to the PSX/PS2 systems.
On PC, before RE came out, you got Alone in the Dark, and Ecstatica. They're still very much survival horror games, but the way they look puts off a lot of people. And possibly because they can have pretty complex puzzles. The sequels are a mixed bag.
Getting further away from survival horror, the PC also had Bioforge, Dark Earth, Nocturne, and an unreleased port of Highlander: Last of the MacClouds.
Of varying quality on the systems you mentioned that weren't previously mentioned:
Countdown Vampires
The Crow: City of Angels
Devilman
Men in Black: The Game
Nightmare Creatures
Obscure
Overblood
I'm not guaranteeing quality here, I'm guaranteeing that these will hit the same gameplay as RE.
