This thread is for you to post about Survival Horror games. It will also be for any horror related games (but I think those are much less in number than survival horror games).
You can talk about anything, best games, worst games, unknown gems, the game that gave you the biggest scare, etc. As long as it is related to any horror game it belongs here.
I will start by naming some survival horror games I used to play when I still played consoles (I haven't touch a console since my old PS2):
Everyone knows about Silent Hill games and Resident Evil games, but not many people talk about the Dino Crisis and Nightmare Creatures games. I also just remembered about a PS2 game series I played years ago called Project Zero (Fatal Frame in Japan).
Project Zero is a bit different because we don't have weapons, we only have an old camera that can take pictures of ghosts, we can't usually see the ghosts unless we take pictures of them or look through the camera (I can't really remember anymore to be honest). I also think we can change film type if we find them (or maybe it is an upgrade, we can get upgrades by exchanging points we get from pacifying ghosts when we take pics of them) while exploring and each film type has special effects. We use the camera to damage, capture and pacify the ghosts, some ghosts appear and disappear so it is harder to damage them. And I think they have a weak spot that if we "hit" it, it will kill the ghost in one blow.
I can't remember much more of that game, but it was scary.
I remember playing Dino Crisis games on the Playstation many years ago and those games scared me a few times, I put them up there with the old Resident Evil and Silent Hill games as survival horror games. They are also third person perspective games.
Another survival horror game I remember from the playstation era was Nightmare Creatures. Also third person perspective.
I always hear people talk about the famous Silent Hill and Resident Evil games but pretty much no one talks about Dino Crisis and Nightmare Creatures

Now it's your turn to talk about horror games

true survival horror is usually in first person or has fixed camera angles. most "survival horror" games with the shoulder cam are usually third person shooters. sometimes they're good (RE4 or dead space) sometimes they're not (every RE after 4) still RE 0-3 and code veronica and REmake are survival horror. Silent hill 1-4 are all god-tier. and The Evil Within is the only game with a shoulder cam that I would consider a survival horror game. and a great one at that.
