Yeah, I remember playing mario 64 with a few friends back when it was new and some of them started crying when the piano jump scare thing happened. I wouldn't be surprised if they got a ton of angry calls from boomer moms and decided to step things back after.

Clue for snes, specifically the way the soundtrack can make the tone shift from comfy to tense to shocking.
First the title music sets the mystery movie vibe:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLyCXW_TLto
Then, some of the character themes are downright peppy:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tHglW1w7u8&list=PLwxLlSv5mvIYdwN-P4yNuZJF1gR8BUHrt&index=2
But then, some mildly unsettling investigation music:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54ZdGUrzSeg&list=PLwxLlSv5mvIYdwN-P4yNuZJF1gR8BUHrt&index=9
And finally, when a character picks up the rope/noose you hear this shit:

What scares me (and still does) is when you go out of bounds and there's a big endless expanse. This is made worse if there's no music or ambience at all.

One thing I remember scared me is Pilotwings 64 and how you could zoom out on the map and there was nothing beyond the island but you could get lost on the map because the sea went on for ages and you couldn't find the island again. I was always too scared to just fly out to sea for that reason.

I remember that PS1 styled horror 'demo disk' thing that came out a while ago had a Garry's Mod style horror game 'demo' that was more or less based on that concept.

Agreed, Big Boo's Haunt is easily the spookiest that the Mario ghost houses ever get, with a close second being the abandoned airship before the Valley of Bowser level in Super Mario World. I think the sunken ghost ship is really spooky because you have that point of reference of what those ships looked like while they were operating. That and the ghost behavior there with the intermittently fading in/out boo corridor being pretty good. I think the cherry on top is the orb at the end though. Those only popped out of Boom Booms when you defeated them in Mario 3 so the implication is that a Boom Boom likely died there. It had such a distinct feeling of death that I think is unmatched.

Yup, despite the cartoonish artstyle The ReDeads in Wind Waker are way more effective then Ocarina of Time's by a country mile:

>better scream
>Link actually visibly reacts
>WW ReDeads have hollow eyes that only glow when you get close
>The slight head turn when you approach, but not close enough for it's eyes to glow or start moving toward you, so it's just slowly staring at you with hollowed eyes which is extra creepy
>Their animations are top notch
>Their biting on Link's head is very striking because of how large their mouths are, compared to OoT which just hugs you

This plus the cherry on top in going into the Private Oasis only to have them littered in the basement really knocked it out of the park. You'll never get as good ReDeads ever again.

Do they really not mean for Vivian to be trans? I don't understand the original context and just assumed that's what it was, which is what everyone says.

Most have already been mentioned but I'll post one that only I seemingly had issue with. In Majora's Mask, I would get severe anxiety while fighting Goht, to the point that I could only battle him right by the front door in that little area. Most people chase after him I guess but there was something about this big sonbitch chasing me and running around making all that noise that drove me crazy. I preferred to just shoot him with arrows in the only area that seemed somewhat safe. Then every now and then he'd make a pass where he turned into that area a lil bit and it'd spike my anxiety even more.

As an adult I realize how autistic that was, especially since going Goron and running him down is not only objectively superior but also makes him the one being chased. Still, it used to unnerve me quite a bit back in the day.

The movies honestly failed to properly capture quite a bit of the characters and the general wonder of the setting. Post-Columbus, that is. That man understood it. I don't remember why they lost him, but they never should have.

i unironically believe with my whole heart that playing this game at a young age has a larger impact on my personality than anything else. it's a game where you die over and over every 3 days. the end of the world every 3 days. i have always had a comfort with death my peers have not.

creativity and programming beats big budgets and tent poles every time. my appreciation for this game has only grown in 23 years.

Shut up anon, you realise you're comparing 2004 to 1988. By that time birdo wasn't a tranny, nintendo washed that bit out of the lore. Go back to >>>/int/

Twilight Princess Redeads are so unmemorable I just had to look them up because I don't even remember them being in the game.

Those enemies with the swords who floated towards you with that weird ambient sound on the floating islands level terrified me as a kid. Never thought I could escape.

TR3's shiva status also game me literal nightmares - I had a repetitive one about them growing up.

I'm just glad I never owned TR1. The end of that game with the flesh shit & Lara clone? I can only imagine what that'd have done to me.

Terrifying for their time. I think the 'early 3d' style really adds to it as well. Poliginal environments yet realistic designed textures & good enough lighting and level size to create proper ambience with the sound tech being so modern in comparison. Real weird.

>Every time Vivian gender pop ups it's to set up a punchline
>Every NPC that addresses Vivian's gender calls him a boy, if he's called a girl that game goes out of it's way to correct itself
>The game's most reliable narrators, Goombella Tattle and the Party UI description in the menus, says explicitly he's actually a boy
>Vivian uses feminine pronouns, but this is also a trope of many flamboyant, gay or feminine characters in Japanese media
>Super Paper Mario description also calls Vivian a boy

It's beyond obvious that the whole joke about Vivian is that "he's so cute he looks like a girl!" That's his entire deal.

But doesn't he try to call the group he's in the Three Shadow Sisters and get shot down because Beldam says he's a boy? Does he himself call himself a boy? If not, that's what a trans woman is, regardless of what other people, even objective narrators and reality, say.

Creepy music switch, Buy/Build mode disabled and the only thing you can do is watch as this guy takes your shit.

I know it's not really related to the thread, but how come no one ever acknowledges how absolutely fucked banjo and kazooie's faces look in the top left corner on the xbox re-releaesed?
Its like they used some kind of ai to convert the 2d image into a 3d one and called it a day.
Otherwise the rest of the game looks okay, barring a few odd looking character portraits in the dialogue boxes.

I'd expect to see this type of shit in shitty newgrounds flash games, not an official video game for kids.

On a totally unrelated note anon, I think you should play Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, Siren, and Haunting Ground.

“Vivian is actually a boy/girl” comments are so tiresome whenever I see or draw new art. I just love the character, personality, design. The shit has been stirred so high with Vivian that I don’t really care what is the true character any more. Any discussion just turns into one agenda over another, I just want Vivian art gdi

Vivian being a man or woman won't stop people from slapping a giant pair of titties or a penis on them, and I think that's the bright side of the whole thing

It looks like they gave the portraits LESS polygons to look like the models, when in the 64 games everyone had a more detailed portrait than their model. What a weird decision for an HD remaster.
